I am writing this review today because of a repair job that destroyed my car. I had a very minor fluid leak and figured since my car is already there for a different repair I'll bring it up. They ended up charging me over $600 to replace the part with some cheap plastic part. Of course the part broke because it was super cheap made of plastic when the previous part was solid metal. I got a second opinion from a mobile mechanic because I was stranded on the side of the road due to my car overheating and his exact words, "They replaced the part with some cheap plastic Chinese part and that's why it cracked in half". When I contacted them for warranty they continue to tell me they want another $1,000 to diagnose it again, NOT TO FIX IT, which made no sense for me financially. Just be careful if you're a young guy, they will try to take advantage of you and your family. Just another sketchy auto repair shop in my opinion trying to get as much money as they can out of you.

Hi Christian, we understand how frustrating it is to experience a vehicle issue that leaves you stranded, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We reviewed the records we have available for your vehicle and found that a thermostat housing repair was performed in 2019. That repair was well outside of its warranty period by the time of the concern mentioned in your review. The factory thermostat housing for the 2000 Dodge Intrepid was made from reinforced plastic, so the use of a plastic component was consistent with the original factory design and was not an indication that a metal component had been replaced with an inferior material. These components can typically last around 10 years or roughly 100,000 miles, although their lifespan can vary depending on the vehicle and cooling system conditions. We also found that on May 1, 2019, a separate coolant leak was identified at a freeze plug located behind the transmission, and transmission removal was quoted to make that repair. We were unable to find any additional communication regarding that recommendation in the records we reviewed. We’ve also attempted to reach you directly and left a message. We’d appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and better understand what happened with the vehicle.

I made an appointment for new rear brake pads. Dropped off my car at 8:00 am on Wednesday. I received a call at 2:00 pm stating that I needed new rotors and brake fluid along with the brake pads. My estimate went from $375.00 to $775.00. I indicated that I only needed the pads and only authorized the pads to be replaced. The next morning I received a call at 7:30 am stating to please pick up my car. If I didn’t agree to all the suggested repairs then they would not work on my car at all. When I returned to claim my car the estimator walked me out to my car to scold me for second guessing his estimate of work needed. I had a very polite conversation with the mgr Rick who said he would look into this issue and call me back. Rick called back and was very apologetic and indicated that I did not need any additional work other than the brake pads and offered to have the work done for the amount that was originally estimated. Since I had already paid over $70.00 in Uber costs getting to and from I declined his offer. Rick was very professional and very polite but I will not be back.
