I've been bringing my vehicles to L&M motors for 20 years. Today, I brought my vehicle in for a…read morestandard oil change and was charged $327.48. They charged me $32 a quart for the oil and $54 in labor. The last time I got my oil changed it cost me $170, so I feel like I'm being price gouged. Since the prior owner sold the business, things have gone way downhill there. Take my advice and never bring your vehicle to this place. They don't deserve your business.

Was looking a good, reliable mechanic, and found Dom's business on Yelp. The reviews were…read moreexcellent, saying he's reasonable with prices and an overall good mechanic, except one review. I read it and deemed it was both their faults and that shouldn't hinder me from seeking his business and services. So, I try to contact him about my car. Called 7/16 for a quote, called back 7/21 (no answer) and 7/23 (answered). On the phone, he said "next week" he could see my car and I'm like great! He says to text him my information and car troubles, so I did that same day. Didn't receive any type of communication for almost a week until today (7/30), I was still open to working with him until he offers me a slot and takes it away in less than 3 hours. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate, considering he didn't get back to me for almost a week. Then he hearted the message which seemed petty. Also here's a tip: don't talk to your customers like they're a burden and wasting your time (by your tone) because obviously I wasted my time with you.

I'm glad I hired Dom. He replaced my break pads and rotors in a reasonable time. Communication,…read moreservice and price was great. I saved his contact in my phone and would highly recommend him.

The first time it was engine overheating problem and I figured the water pump or thermostat was the issue and was prepared to pay big bucks. They called a little while later and said a coolant hose clamp has come loose and leaked. They replaced the clamp and charged something nominal like $30. More recently I had my car into Kendall Toyota for a recall and they said in multipoint inspection that my brakes were at 3 to 5 mm remaining and needed replacement. I took the car to R&R for brake job and oil change. A little while later R&R called and said no need to do the brakes yet, that they have plenty of life left and just to keep an eye on it. Saved me almost $500. They could've had me so easily. I will keep going back to R&R.

Because our previous service had been so good, we went back for brakes. We had them done and a…read moreweek later we felt and vibration and heard a squeak in the brakes. Immediately my husband knew there was an issue with the rotors, so we took the car back. We asked for confirmation about our rotors and their status. They claimed they were fine. I should have pressed the issue, because now my rotors are damaged and I have to have they replaced and it's costing me a over a grand to my brakes and rotors redone after less than 10,000 miles later. We are VERY UNHAPPY with R&R. I can no longer recommend

They were good at listening and not trying to talk me into something I didn't want when they called me to tell me what was wrong. I told them exactly what I wanted done and that's what they did. They even threw in a tire rotation for free because it needed it. As long as I have a vehicle, this is where I will go for service. The guys are friendly and nice. These guys didn't treat me like I was less than just because I am female which is what I have experienced at other shops.

So anyways, I broke my serpentine belt on the middle of C Street at midnight and it broke a bunch of stuff with it. Desperate, I had it towed to Specialized based on sort of remembering the name from a conversation once. Thank goodness I did!! These guys really took care of me, they even put up with my husband calling from out of town for updates multiple times throughout the week the repairs took. I was given an explanation of not just what needed to be fixed, but why & how it would impact my driving experience. I was given choices and explanations for work that was optional, or work that could be done to a 'good enough' level versus fully restored. The guys at the shop were always courteous and knowledgeable. My favorite part of the experience was that they got the job done for significantly less than estimated! The work took a few days longer than expected, but I understand parts can be fickle and I had a second car available to me so I wasn't in a rush.

I stopped in to ask what needed to be done. Was it an oil change was it a tuneup. They acted like I stole the car. Intimated to me that it was against the law for them to tell me the information I was seeking ...told me it was HIPAA related type thing. I'm literally standing there with the car.. same license plate ...same VIN... gave them all the information they needed to look in the system. She begins to try to give me generalized service intervals. I wouldn't recommend them... if they're not enough of a service to be forthcoming to recognize a vehicle that they've worked on with the work history. If they try to bullshit you about why...they will bullshit about worked needed. I wanted to keep the car there at that shop, but given the attitude of the woman that I was dealing with and given the reluctance to even entertain trying to at least give me the basic. "It's an oil change". I couldn't trust them, and I won't trust them and you should not either. I took this car to Audi and I got all the history on this car from that dealership. All I had to do is show proof of ownership. JT Auto never asked to see that.

I can't say enough good things about Independent Auto Care. I broke down unexpectedly and ended up…read moreat their shop around 7:00 a.m., well before normal business hours. Even with my stressful situation, everyone was incredibly kind, understanding, and willing to help. They treated me with respect from the moment I arrived and made a bad day so much easier. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers, not just the repairs. Their professionalism, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out. I would recommend Independent Auto Care to anyone looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and reliable mechanic. If I ever need automotive repairs again, they'll be my first call. Thank you for taking such great care of me!

If you have a Volvo, Tarn and his team at Independent Auto are going to become your good friends…read more Why? Because Volvos, while nice, are one of the most unreliable brands of car you can buy. They are consistently in the bottom quarter for reliability whether you're looking at JD Power or Consumer reports. If you're a Volvo owner that doesn't believe me, either A) you got lucky or B) you value anecdotes over data. Here is the 2022 Consumer Reports Auto Reliability Report rankings of major automotive brands: 1. Lexus 2. Mazda 3. Toyota 4. Infiniti 5. Buick 6. Honda 7. Subaru 8. Acura 9. Nissan 10. Mini 11. Hyundai 12. Chrysler 13. Porsche 14. Chevrolet 15. Audi 16. Cadillac 17. BMW 18. Ford 19. Kia 20. Volvo 21. Ram 22. GMC 23. Mercedes-Benz 24. Volkswagen (31) 25. Genesis (30) 26. Jeep (26) 27. Tesla (25) 28. Lincoln (18) https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2021/11/18/consumer-reports-most-reliable-cars-trucks-suvs/6385214001/ Knowing all of this, I somehow still bought one. Why? I was "subscribed" to a Volvo for 2 years and, fell in love. At the end of the subscription, all my payments counted towards the principle and...it just felt stupid to NOT buy it. Now, Volvo is steadily making its money back through maintenance and part costs. This is a 2019 car (XC40) and, already, the driver's side seat heater stopped working. Tarn and his team looked into it, ordered another heating coil and...it still wasn't working. They said I would have to go to the Volvo dealership. You could tell that he said this with sadness in his voice. I have an appointment at Volvo for October 17th, they are charging me $200+ just to DIAGNOSE the seat heater issue. My previous car, a 2006 Acura TL, had 170,000 miles on it over 11 years and never had an issue with any of its seat heaters. Tarn was able to help with my 60,000 mile brake job. The brakes were grinding and his team replaced them for an eye-watering $1,570. After doing lots of research...that seems to be the going rate, not a hideous mark-up. Insane. It took a while for Independent to get the parts. I left my car with them while I was in Fairbanks for work for a week and came back and...they still didn't have the parts. They were kind throughout the whole process and explained to me the issues. And, when they finally attempted the seat heater (that they ultimately couldn't fix, sadly.) they gave me a Volvo loaner car to use, and they didn't charge me to diagnose the issue...as the dealership already has committed to.
