Fast, great job and friendly. Easy to find and another positive point was that you can renew your DMV paper and get updated tags.

(1 star) I brought…read moremy 2013 Honda Civic into Oakdale Automotive about 7 months ago for an air conditioning problem. After dropping the car off, I went several days with no communication. When I finally called, I was told they had ordered the wrong part. After about a week without my car, I was charged roughly $1,500 just to get the A/C blowing cold again. When I picked the car up, I immediately discovered both headlights were out. I had to replace the bulbs myself. I brought the car back and asked about it, but they weren't able to determine what caused the issue. Fast forward 7 months, and the A/C failed again. They replaced the compressor a second time. A few days later, while on a trip to the Sierras, the car suddenly lost electrical power--power steering, brakes, and multiple warning lights all came on. I was barely able to get it safely off the road in Jamestown and had to have it towed home. While preparing to replace the alternator and serpentine belt (given the mileage), I discovered several concerning issues: the main power wire to the alternator was floppy loose, the battery negative cable was not properly tightened, and a wire routing clip near the alternator wasn't secured. Since access to the A/C compressor typically involves working in that area, it raises serious concerns about the quality of the previous work. I can't say with absolute certainty what caused everything, but the timing and condition of these components make it hard to ignore. Overall, this was a frustrating and concerning experience--poor communication, repeat repairs, and workmanship issues that could have led to a dangerous situation. I would recommend others proceed with caution.

So I called scenic towing because of yelp and the fact that they were in Modesto. They were able to get the flatbed tow truck to my location in about 40 minutes. They then transported my Jeep to a local tire company and I was been busy doing tire shopping . I appreciate the ease of working with scenic, towing the fact that they were available and picked up on my call made a difference and then I was able to pay with Venmo and they provided me with an invoice for my insurance company via email.

They confirmed twice that a driver was on the way, so I waited patiently. Over two and a half hours later, no one ever showed up.Instead of arriving, the service was suddenly canceled with no explanation at all. No phone call, no update, nothing. I was left sitting there with my child after relying on their confirmation that help was coming. It's extremely frustrating and honestly unacceptable for a company to give false ETAs, repeatedly confirm service, and then simply cancel without any communication. When someone is stranded, especially with a young child, reliability and honesty matter. I pay for roadside assistance benefits specifically for situations like this, and Scenic Towing completely failed to provide the service they promised. This experience was stressful, unsafe, and incredibly disappointing. I would not recommend this company to anyone who actually needs dependable roadside assistance.
