They had everything repaired within about five hours. As the only parent in town with two kids, I was incredibly relieved and grateful for their efficiency and help. The entire experience was smooth and pleasant. Austin and his team are professional, dependable, and truly care about their customers.

I went here as an AAA member and it is an AAA shop. With the radio show and all, I expected a higher than average cost but also a higher than average job. Not the case for me. I'll try to just state what happened and let the reader draw their own conclusions as to whether they want to go here or somewhere else. 4/28/26: The estimate called for a cabin filter replacement. I had to point out that my model of truck doesn't have one. After approving $4K of repairs, Brandon emailed me, "I will call you tomorrow when it is finished." However I never received any communication the next day (4/29) saying it was ready or delayed. I had to inquire the day after that (4/30).  4/30: "All the services are completed we have to smog the vehicle still my smog guy went to lunch so i am hoping to have it all set by 2or 3 this afternoon" 2:05 "...  my technician is setting up all the monitors, and the catalytic converter is taking a little while to set. There is nothing wrong with the cats but the monitor takes a drive cycle to set so it might be a little bit past three." 3:03 " ...it looks like we have to do what's called a coldstart. Everything on the vehicle must be under 100 degrees. Would it be ok if we kept it over night in order to perform the cold start in the morning? We should have the vehicle back to you no later than 10am  " 5/1 10:14 "We have finally set the monitors and the truck has been smogged." Brandon emailed me my address for confirmation before sending the shuttle, and I replied it was the correct address and repeated the address in my reply. "Perfect he will be there shortly!" I waited in front of my house and was surprised to get a call saying they were in front of my house waiting for me. I said they weren't and repeated my address. They were waiting at the wrong address despite all the address confirmations. The driver never apologized or mentioned it. The office never apologized or mentioned it.  I made the $4K payment and got in my truck to leave. I noticed my phone holder was broken and the piece that broke off was on the floorboard. Something I would have notice before. I also noticed the gas tank was near empty when it was near full when I dropped it off. I compared the mileage when I dropped it off to the current mileage and there was a difference of 135 miles. I went back into the office and asked about the mileage. Brandon then told me he drove it for the smog test. Brandon never mentioned that he drove the truck 135 miles nor did he ask permission beforehand. While the estimate had some "before" pictures of repairs needed, no "after" pictures were provided after the work was done.

This business is an AAA approved mechanic, but was somewhat disappointing. To begin with and at the…read moretime of our visit, the gas station on the corner in front of them was under construction so that their shop was really only visible and accessible from one side. You had to sneak through the car wash on the other side to access them. Like many mechanics, parking is very limited. While this is not their fault, they could have put up some signage to make things easier for their customers. For the repair we needed done, they charged us $500 over the highest fee on the national average scale. They also took 9 hours to complete work that for a competent mechanic takes 2-3 hrs and a highly skilled mechanic can do in about an hour--some DIY car enthusiasts claim they do it in about 50 min total. Finally, when they told us the work was completed, then they said there was a problem before handing over the car and that they had to order a new part because they detected the one they installed was defective. After we left to wait for a new part, they contacted us again to say that they determined there was a loose connection rather than a defective part. While we are glad they found any problems before handing over the car, this back and forth does not inspire confidence in their work--these checks should have been done and any installation errors corrected before communicating to us that the car was done. Due to this last issue, we are left wondering if the repairs will fail. If we are in need of another repair when in the area, we will probably try another AAA recommended mechanic. I was going to end my review there, but the business owner replied before I could finish my review and their response is defensive, inaccurate, and places blame on us, all of which makes us have less confidence in their services. First of all, our car was never towed to their business. We drove it in as it was still functional and they assured us that it would probably run at least 2-3 more days without any repairs. Second, they told us that they had at least one of the parts and that the car would be done Monday morning despite ordering the other part. They also said that they could get the part very quickly, but there was just not enough time to complete the repair on Friday. If they needed hours to get try second part they completely led us to believe that was NOT the case on Friday. If it just unexpectedly took longer to get the part, then they could have just told us that. They emphasized several times Monday--MORNING to complete the work. We did ask IF IT could be finished same day, but we never demanded any specific finish time. When they said "no,"we asked IF it could be done by Monday. They volunteered Monday MORNING with repeated emphasis on morning--something we did not request. When I contacted them late in the morning for an update on Monday, it was not done, so we waited. It was around 1:30-2:00 when they first finished and then 3:00 when they corrected the improper installation. We did not take possession of the car till at least 3:00. Even if they did no work on the car on Friday due to lack of one part, they still had the car for 8 hrs on Monday before the repair was completed. If they had ordered a second part to replace a defective one they installed, then we would have either gotten the car at 5:00 or next day. Point is that neither 1:30-2:00 nor 3:00 is MORNING. Other point is, that even with waiting for one part to start, the repair time seems too long--assuming the part took 3 hrs to get (when they originally said they could get it fast) 5 hrs to do a 2-3 hrs repair even with other cars in the lineup is too long. Finally, while using OEM parts can be a much higher price, it cannot account for a minimum of a $500 mark up on this particular job and given the old age of our car (for some other mechanics the cost is almost $1000 less than what we were charged), a difference which is almost certainly labor costs that are at a business' discretion. They may truly believe, their cost and repair time are valid, but the research we did before bringing them the car says otherwise. We were aware of the average cost and time to make the repair before their estimate, but needed it done and so just had them do the work. We really didn't care if the work was finished morning or afternoon, but if we are told one or the other and it ends up taking more time, then in our experience a responsible mechanic will contact the customer with an update rather than waiting for the customer to initiate communication. We are old farts and this is maybe the 5th or 6th alternator we have replaced over the course of owning many cars and dealing with many mechanics over the years. Further, as a mechanical engineer who sometimes does his own work on his cars, I just don't find their explanation plausible and as a customer I find their response inaccurate and placing blame and therefore additionally disappointing.

GOING OUT OF BUISNESS?…read more I took my 2013 Ford Fusion to Ruffners Transmission on 03/08/2021 for a diagnoses after a lovely, reassuring conversation with claimed owner Adrian V Soto (Soto Enterprises DBA Ruffners Transmission Company) and although the transaction was far from seamless and I was mislead regarding the timeframe multiple times, we ended the transaction 03/22/2022 on a good note. I called several days later with concern of an issue, the vehicle drove a little rough and a bit shaky, I was told that it was an engine rebuild so it's not going to RUN perfectly smoothly. Adrian: "it should adjust to your driving" Diagnoses Fee: $135 Transmission Rebuild: $4,015.12 Programming Fee: $236.16 Total: $4,386.16 On 12/19/2022 we took the vehicle in again from a leak, we were told the Transmission Seal and Axle Shift need work. I let my husband handle the transaction however being that the repair was likely cased caused by the transmission and shouldn't the seal have been replaced during rebuild I did not agree to the charges! I don't know much about cars! We paid $564.20 So far, for a total $4,815.48 that Soto Enterprise DBA Runffner Transmission has charge to maintenance my vehicle to refuses to honor the warranty provided stating: "I am in $200K plus debt why should I care about your issue" "Im closing down anyway" "I was going to help you out but im not anymore" My frustration was warranted based on the situation that Ruffners put me in both financially and emotionally!

I found Adrian through offerup when looking for a new transmission for my truck, he let me know that they had units available and had the ability to build the trans depending on my power goals. I wanted a stock rebuild just to get the truck going again. I towed my truck to the shop and within about a week it was all squared away, it felt brand new and I had no complaints for about 1000 miles. Unfortunately the truck suddenly wouldn't go into reverse, a freak accident cause a piece to break inside the trans (this was not their fault) I hit up Adrian to let him know my issue and he immediately got me into the shop despite them being fully booked. I received my truck again today and it feels like a brand new truck again. I normally don't take any of my vehicles to shops because I work on my cars myself, I have been for almost 10+ years. But due to my current living situation I don't have any place to do big jobs like a trans swap. From one mechanic to the general public, I trust Adrian and his workers to get the job done! Highly recommend this place.
