Had to call three times to ask for the price of the service that was being done on my truck which…read morewas an oil change and right rear berring leak. Response was "oh I don't know. It's going to be pricey." Guy on phone estimated and told me $30 for the seal. That's the only price he told me regarding an estimated cost. I knew it wouldn't be just $30. When it was done that's when I got the actual price. Over $700. And got charged around $130 for a $30 part including overnight shipping. Was told the first seal didn't take which was a red flag. I was also charged 8.99 for windshield wiper top off. That could've been a price said over the phone if it was I wouldn't have authorized it (actually didn't when I dropped truck off because I only said an oil change and the berring seal.) since I have wiper fluid at home. I paid and drove the truck home and to work next day. Not even 60 miles since work was done and the berring seal was leaking again. I drove back to Bill and Mikes and told them. Bring it back they said. Since I had a terrible experience with them with just getting transparency on pricing of the work being done I took it to a certified ASE mechanic. After he took everything apart he informed me that Bill and Mikes didn't have the right tool for the seal job and they pried the old seal out with a chisel damaging the seal seat. See attached pictures. They also didn't have the right tool to install the new seal as that was damaged too. Hence why the new seal bill and mikes installed leaked immediately because it was already damaged from the mechanic jamming it in. He also informed me that they stripped the differential fluid bolt and broke something on my rear brake. The brakes weren't bleed through correctly when I drove it away from Bill and Mikes because I had to press the pedal all the way to floor to stop. I had to spend the same amount of money to fix it correctly with a different mechanic. I wish to get a full refund for the work Bill and Mikes did on the berring seal. They shouldn't offer this service if the mechanic doesn't have the right tools for the job. I won't be taking my vehicles here ever again. My experience summed up: 1) dodgy with price transparency 2) did a terrible job and didn't fix the problem 3) damaged my truck more after their service.

* Some of the services that brought me to Master Mechanix where to correct faulty repairs from…read moreother shops which included engine and suspension work. * As a senior citizen and after several unsuccessful and expensive services from four other relatively well rated auto repair shops, I started to wonder if I would ever find 'A Really Good Mechanic'. * I met a seasoned Classic Corvette owner at the Post Office and he referred me to Master Mechanix (located right on Main Street in Pocatello, Idaho). * I found that the owner, Ray Campbell, runs his business in an Ethical, Professional and Friendly Manner ... How Refreshing! * Upon more research I discovered he has a Stellar Reputation amongst his Peers and Valued Customers for his Precision Automotive Skills ... And he indeed lives up to his well deserved reputation! * He is an ASE Master Certified Technician with consistent 40 Years of ASE Certification. * His Diagnostic Accuracy was Impressive, including Excellent Quality Control. * I have received precise 'Right-The First Time' Repairs. * He gives Clear and Detailed Invoices. * His pricing is surprisingly very good considering their skill sets by far exceed the others. * And as a somewhat apprehensive customer, he goes that extra mile to answer any of my questions in a easy, down to earth way. * My well maintained 35th Anniversary Edition Camaro runs as smooth as silk, thanks to the Conscientious and Skillful Team at Master Mechanix. ~ Thank you guys so very much ... Keep up the good work ~ Note: I read some of the previous reviews and I find it so hard to believe because the service I received was 'Off the Charts Excellent'. There are a couple of other shops named Master Mechanic, etc ... Perhaps they are mistaken.

They did a much overdue tuneup and oil change and repaired a problem with my headlights. They went the extra mile and polished the headlights that had turned yellow with age and I didnt see a charge for it on the invoice.  Truck is now running like a top! This seems to me to be an honest and quality mechanic that charges a fair rate and you cant ask for anything more.  Im looking forward to a long relationship with Master Mechanix!

Paid abt $1400 for air conditioning repairs. Abt 10 months later the new pump blew. Took back but…read moreonly 12,000 warranty I had 18,000 fair enough. But I've never had an air pump blow out like that but said as help would repair for $500 more than fair. BUT as I picked up car air worked sitting there but as driving home abt 4 miles the air conditioning only blew hot air. As slowed to near stop it worked until drive again. That was constant so went back given off wall reason but left yo look and fix. As picked up it was same. I was told must be some other problem even though before just blew out it was fine. Took yo other known shop diagnosed as high pressure faulty pump that was a rebuilt or used pump. Would fix with new factory pump guaranteed for $1421 instead of normal $1800 plus. But I had just paid Master mechanics $500 so took diagnosed issue and willing to pay additional $1000 because the $500 wasted. But told pump was fine would not fix. Went to another shop diagnosed same. Pump appeared to work until under pressure. Master mechanics told me only go to dealer they would not fix and my $500 a loss. Accept warranty passed but attempted $500 repair my loss. I'll go yo known established shop.

Unsafe, sloppy work, my vehicle was returned in dangerous condition…read more I brought my vehicle to this shop for a repair, expecting basic competence and safety. Instead, I got a car that was wired incorrectly, assembled poorly, and unsafe to drive. Here's what I found immediately after getting it back: * Electrical wiring done incorrectly: The speakers were wired wrong, so none of them worked properly. The turn signal and brake light wiring was reversed, meaning when I used my turn signals, my brake lights lit up instead, and vice versa an accident waiting to happen. * Safety systems disconnected: My reverse lights were completely disconnected, leaving me with no way to signal to other drivers or pedestrians when backing up. * Broken hardware: Both bolts holding the tail lights were broken, leaving the tail lights loose and not securely attached to the car. * Improper reassembly: The dashboard was installed incorrectly, and the center console wasn't even bolted down. This isn't just "less than ideal"; this is work that put me at risk on the road. None of these issues were small mistakes; they were either the result of extreme carelessness or a complete lack of understanding of how the vehicle should be reassembled. When I contacted the shop to resolve these issues, they refused to correct their mistakes, claiming that "someone touched the car," even though the problems were created entirely by their work. This left me with no choice but to spend my own time and resources diagnosing and fixing every issue myself just to make the car safe and roadworthy. No customer should have to do that after paying a shop for work. I strongly recommend avoiding this business. If my experience is any indication, you may end up with dangerous mistakes, damaged parts, and extra work just to make your car safe again.
