O NOT TRUST -- STAY AWAY FROM ADIDAS AUTOMOTIVE BAKERSFIELD (Weibel Rd)
I normally do not write reviews, but after dealing with Adidas Automotive multiple times, I feel obligated to warn others. This shop is completely unprofessional, dishonest, and takes advantage of customers who trust that work is being done correctly.
Over the course of working with him, I brought in three different vehicles:
* My wife's 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman
* My son's BMW 335 Diesel
* My 1972 Chevy Chevelle
Mini Cooper:
He charged me $1500 claiming he fixed the issue, but all he did was temporarily reset the engine codes without ever addressing the real problem. He never even changed the oil as promised. The codes came right back after I left the shop.
BMW 335 Diesel:
He claimed he repaired the DEF system issue, but the problem was never fixed. The same codes are still showing up on the car. I have documentation and photos of the codes that prove the issue was never resolved after his "repair."
1972 Chevelle:
He told me he replaced the throttle cable. Instead, he attached a cheap spring and claimed the job was done. I trusted him as a mechanic and took his word, only to find out later the part was never replaced. The final time I brought the car in, it took him over two weeks just to supposedly change a simple throttle cable -- which was NEVER actually done.
This man charges outrageous prices for work that either:
* Isn't done
* Is done incorrectly
* Is temporarily patched to make you believe it's fixed
He will tell you everything is good just to take your money, knowing full well he hasn't actually fixed the problem. His shop is disorganized, his communication is poor, and his business ethics are non-existent. He takes advantage of people who trust that the work being done is legitimate.
I highly recommend you stay far away from Adidas Automotive.
He is untrustworthy, unprofessional, and will leave you worse off than when you started. I would never take another vehicle to him again, and I strongly advise anyone considering using his services to look elsewhere. You will save yourself a lot of money, time, and headaches. read more
