Bait and Switch Coupon, Please remove this $90 service

Negative: They should remove this Bait and Switch (BS) $20 service coupon, it´s $90 (¨PLUS¨). Not that $90 give or take which ad they are running is a bad deal, just be transparent. Maybe the Co. name should have been my clue or that the lobby tv was playing Bob Barkers The Price Is Right. Either way, be observant and getting all old parts right away and put that on the estimate gives you a little protection. My experience has shown me that many Transmission Shops have an issue with transparency. The rule is....fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice shame on me, fool me 3 times....well you, get the idea, they just broke 1 of the 3 rules at the get go. Positives: Nice people Good coffee Mechanic seemed good, as far as I could tell Poor liars, management needs more practice, but they do it with a smile. No fist fighting broke out.

Picture of the nut that was left unscrewed to wherever it belonged

I would stay the hell away from this place. After DRIVING my truck to this shop to have my transmission checked out, it left on a TOW TRUCK 4 weeks later! I also found a loose nut sitting on the engine block that hadn't been put back on whatever it went to. See the pictures below. The day I dropped my truck off with Tim, he got on it right away. Within a few days he told me I needed a new transmission as well as a new transfer case for a total of $6,300! I told him I couldn't afford it but he persisted, and offered me several different financing options. I told him several more times over the course of a week that I couldn't afford it and that I wanted to get my truck back. From that point on, its as if Tim fell off the map. I waited about a week before reaching out to Tim to see what the deal was. Again, he told me he needed a few more days to get my truck ready, and once again nothing. After several rounds of being strung along he finally texted me that my truck was ready. After arriving to the shop, my truck was in the same spot that I had last seen it several weeks before, and nothing had been done to it. After getting into it to leave, it wouldn't shift into gear and sounded terrible. He proceeded to try and charge me $400 for the labor, and after rounds of debate finally agreed to drop it. I called the tow truck company and had them pick it up to take to another mechanic. Turns out I don't need a transfer case and got my transmission replaced for $3,500. Nobody should have to feel like their hands are tied in this type of situation, and for 4 weeks that's the way I felt after dropping my truck off at this place. Its stressful enough having vehicle problems, and not being able to pick my truck up in at least the same condition in which is was dropped off is not a place I want to do business!

Great service. Pretty quick turn around for a tranny shop. I was impressed that it didn't take long.

Ryan met me at my place for a free diagnostic. Didn't try and up-sell me on anything…read more Professional and knowledgeable is all I have to say. We had a full vehicle tuneup on my wife's Camry and let's just just say it was nothing but stellar. Belts, plugs and full brake work done in 2 hours at our home. Great work! I'll be recommending him to friends/colleagues in the near future. Thanks again!

Very disappointed with my experience with Ryan. My vehicle is a 2019 GMC Sierra, and I contacted…read morehim because my truck had a coolant leak and I already strongly suspected that the radiator needed to be replaced. Before coming out, he told me he would still need to diagnose it and charged me $115. After paying the $115 diagnostic fee, I was basically told exactly what I already knew, the radiator needed to be replaced. Then I was informed that he couldn't actually do the repair because the job required the A/C refrigerant to be recovered and he didn't have the equipment necessary to do that. His recommendation was for me to take the truck to a repair shop. My biggest issue is, if you're advertising yourself as a mobile mechanic/certified technician and charging $115 just to come diagnose a problem, I would expect you to either have the equipment necessary to perform common repairs or be upfront BEFORE charging the customer that you may not be equipped to complete the job. On top of that, I felt his labor quote was extremely high. He quoted me $700 JUST FOR LABOR to replace the radiator on my 2019 GMC Sierra. I ended up taking my truck to an actual radiator shop, and they charged me only $300 for the labor. That's a $400 difference for the same radiator replacement. So I essentially paid Ryan $115 to tell me I needed the radiator I had already told him I believed I needed, was quoted $700 in labor, and then was told he couldn't even perform the repair because he didn't have the necessary A/C equipment. Based on my experience, it left me feeling like collecting the diagnostic fee was more important than actually repairing my vehicle. I would not use this service again. I would strongly recommend asking exactly what equipment he has and whether he can actually complete your repair BEFORE agreeing to pay the $115 diagnostic fee.

What really stands out is how much time they take to listen to your concerns and explain things clearly so you know exactly what's going on with your vehicle. There's never any pressure, just honest, straightforward service you can trust. The team here is friendly, courteous, and professional in every interaction. You can tell they genuinely care about both their work and the people they serve. The quality of service is unmatched -- they go above and beyond to make sure everything is done right the first time. Another thing I really appreciate is how simple and convenient it is to schedule an appointment. The process is quick, easy to access, and always handled smoothly. From check-in to pick-up, everything is efficient without ever feeling rushed. If you're looking for an automotive shop that combines top-quality service, professionalism, and a family-like atmosphere, O'Briens Automotive is the place to go. I can't recommend them highly enough!

That is 100% unacceptable. I had made an appointment a week before and they knew what part that was being replaced. I verified before leaving that everything was set up. I showed up a week later at 8am and dropped off my car. I was informed that it would take a few hours. I made the mistake of believing them. Four hours later(12pm) I was told that it would not be done until around 5pm. They lied to me. They had not even started working on my vehicle yet. The real issue was that they had forgotten to order the part and they were waiting for it to be delivered. I was never told anything about the part issue at all. I only found out about the part issue when the manager explained everything to me when I picked up my car around 2pm. The person that wasted my time and lied to me never said anything about it to me or attempted to apologize to me. I can't put with things like that anymore and I will give my business to another shop in the future. They did knock off some money off of my bill,but it still doesn't make me feel good about the situation. I can't justify telling anyone to go to this Firestone location. It's just too much of a mix bag. Please value your time and money by taking your business elsewhere.
