Colossal waste of time and misrepresentations. Mayfair asks if I'm driving or towing vehicle from Merced. I said Brake Booster Pump Assembly is bad and in Merced in my initial call. Original owner, OEM cat, passed smog, clean title, superior maintenance backed by records. Head gasket fine; no rattle, no steam. Offering free tow and nothing for vehicle was never discussed in your voicemail since we never spoke. I would rather donate to karsforkids.com for tax deduction.

This was my first time here, and it was a neat experience. I happened to find this place online…read more They basically buy all types of totaled vehicles and then sell parts from them. My car needed a new interior rear view mirror, and it's been very difficult to find a new one, even from the dealership. Low and behold, Action Auto Wreckers (and Honda Heaven). I called them to confirm that they had the part. I went down a few days later to pick it up (they pulled it from the car while I waited). I'm not sure what the relationship is, but Action Auto Wreckers is located next to Honda Heaven and the only retail front that was open when I went to pick up my part. Pro tip: Call ahead and have them pull the part so you don't have to wait. Also, the first part they pulled for me was incorrect, so make sure to double check what they give you (and ideally bring the part to them). They were happy to swap it out, but I'm glad I didn't need to drive all the way home and back here to swap it.

I brought my 2011 Prius to South Bay JDM for an engine replacement after getting a check engine…read morelight for a misfire caused by a clogged EGR system and lower intake manifold. The engine was showing signs that it was heading toward a head gasket failure, which is unfortunately a common issue on these cars if the EGR system isn't serviced regularly. John replaced the engine with a low-mileage motor at a very fair price and had the car back to me in just three days. He also took the time to swap over several newer parts from my original engine, which I really appreciated. The car is running strong now, with no cold-start rattle or shaking like I was experiencing before. I'm very happy with the service, turnaround time, and overall experience. I would definitely recommend South Bay JDM to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price.

ABSOLUTE TRUSTWORTHY LEGENDS!…read more Being a good son I have been fixing up my Moms prized possession her favorite car. She would not take another car even if I offered her a Rolls Royce. So anyway the transmission was acting up (starting from 3rd gear instead of 1st) and I was short on time, which made me make a crucial mistake by taking the car to a nearby shop instead of B & J. Those little jerks at the other shop lied to me and tried to tell me I had to get a new transmission. They said they checked every milk and cranny and that it was 100% my tranny. The only thing is my Moms car shifts as smooth as an angels walking through the gates of heaven. Right away I called B & J (Who was originally my first choice, they were just further away so I didn't have time to pop over there) and B & J said that sounds like the solenoid, which the other shady shop said it is impossible for it to ever be. they said the Elvis would be brought back from the dead, before it was ever the solenoid that was making the transmission start from the wrong gear. Then the other shady shop said we checked your solenoids and they are clean and perfect like they were never used before. You could tell the guy was lying from his mannerisms, long pauses, shaky fingers and side to side eyes. Anyway I snagged my Moms car back and jammed to B&J and what's funny is when I walked in I told another guy who I didn't communicate with yet asked what the problem was and he's like "yeah, man that sounds like a solenoid" so yeah B & J replaced the Solenoid and the car runs like a reborn race car.

The shop came highly recommended by a family friend and they did not disappoint…read more First of all, EXTREME flexibility in accommodating my schedule needs. The ease of finding a 7AM appointment was key for me. Brought in my 2019 4Runner fr a wheel alignment. They told me it would about two hours and they actually finished in less than 1.5h I really appreciated the accuracy and attention to the detail while they perform the alignment . Also immensely liked that they would explain every single step of the process. They also found a couple of unrelated minor issues with the truck but they never tried to push additional services. I will take all my other vehicles here and I am pretty sure I can confidently say I found my new mechanics! Highly recommend to anybody looking for a reliable/trustworthy experience. Did I mention that on top of everything their prices are absolutely right?

Had an extremely unpleasant experience with this shop…read more Brought my 1990 miata in after a head rebuild, with both coolant and oil leaks. I called them on Wednesday, and they said they would likely be able to take a look on Thursday, if not for sure Friday. I left the car with them the same day, trusting that they would do this. Friday comes around and I don't hear a word from them, so I give them a call. They now tell me that they were busy and hadn't gotten time to get to it. Now the car has been sitting for 5 days (wednesday to monday) and NOTHING has been done to it, while this is my only car. On Monday they finally call me back and tell me that a bunch of stuff is unplugged and they will need more time to diagnose the issue, and asked for 4 labor hours total. I accepted this, and hoped that they would find the leak. I wait a few more days and hear no updates, so I call back just for them to say that they are now having issues with the car starting. I wait another few days (been nearly 2 weeks now) and they say the same thing. On the third week they finally tell me that they got the car to start, and that the head is fine and there was a hose that wasn't tightened all the way. This was not the case because the hose to the thermostat was not tightened when I did a radiator pressure test and coolant was leaking from the heater core pipe too. They also put a few bolts on a bracket because it was loose. I drove the car in there without brake pressure so they insisted that they NEEDED to fix my brakes otherwise I would have to tow the car out. They fix my master brake cylinder/rebleed my brakes so I have proper brakes (ebrake still not fixed even though its right there.) They then call me and pretend like the car was fixed, and test drive it, when in reality all of the leaks are still present and all they did was fix the brakes and power steering bracket. So in conclusion, I left my only car here for nearly 3 weeks and got little to no communication, and then the day they said they can release the car to me they hit me with a $1600 bill. I didn't even ask for half of this stuff and they're charging me $900 JUST FOR BRAKES LOL. When I told them I wouldn't accept this ridiculous invoice they threatened to take it all off and make me tow it home, and I literally agreed to that because of how stupid this whole situation was. So I would be towing out a car that I drove in there because they did work that I did not approve. Once they realized that they would be doing even more work to take off brake master cylinder /lines on a car they already clearly didn't want to work on they magically reduced the bill by $500. Honestly I shouldn't have even paid that but I just wanted my car back. This shop is super predatory and Chris you did me very wrong because you could tell I didn't know what I was talking about. Maybe if you have an RX-7 and you want to rebuild it this is the place but PLEASE don't send your normal cars here unless you want to pay dealership prices for half assed work. Apparently the oil leak was coming from the rear main seal but I don't believe anything they said at this point. I asked them to attach my bumper which is just a few bolts and they didn't even do that. The car still idles high too. And just for the cherry on top they accidentally sent me someone elses invoice with their full address, name, and phone number, they billed this poor guy $20,000 for an NA6. Stay far away !!
