I stood there and said hello and they ignored me for 20 minutes. No one said a thing to me just looked at me and my car angrily. I called roadside service in front of them and talked loud enough for them to hear. I kept seeing them look at me for the whole time but no one said a word. While calling my tow truck someone came up to me and said I have to move my car. I told him I've been here and my car is broken down. No one wants to talk to me. He said I need an appointment. I told him I just wanted to talk if there's a car repair near or anything. He said I have to move my car. Complete assholes. Don't even try to talk or do anything. They will not help.

The reviews rating this business' quality and professionalism of services is spot on.

The person who oversees repairs at the Downtown Auto Shop is very gracious and hard-working. I also like how orderly and clean the work area is. He always has a steady stream of customers. And I have never seen any disgruntled customers !

Support DownTown Auto Repair. Support Devin and his great quality of work. Typical me, did not pay attention to my DMV renewal registration. Must do a smog check at a star approved smog center. I always pass by this Valero gas station and thank goodness I remember the "Star" sign for smog check. Told the parental unit to take her car there for her smog check and I will take mine after work. Parental Unit called me with nice sayings about how everyone was nice, and smog check is fairly price for her Nissan Rouge. Few hours later it was Hello Kitty's turn (Yes, my car's name is Hello Kitty). The wait was not as bad, I would say 20 mins. I am sure weekends they are busy so always call first for an appointment. Hello Kitty passed with her flying red colors for her smog check. Thank you Devin & DownTown Auto Repair. You now have us as your loyal customers.

My serpentine belt had ripped and I took it in to see if I could get it replaced. As soon as I pulled up I was approached by a mechanic and I showed him what had happened. He asked me to turn on my car and we both noticed the pulley on the power steering pump was not turning straight and was wobbling. He turned off the car and said that that entire part needed to be replaced, which I agreed with. I asked him how much and he went to get another guy to take a look at it. When he came over he glanced at us and then at the car and said it would cost us $400 total for both the part and labor. In desperation and in need for my car, I agreed and asked him how long it would take. He said 2 to 3 hours, so we gave him the key and left. An hour or so later he calls me and starts off by saying "Oh, you're going to need more work done! The AC compressor is no good! It's not turning, you're going to need to replace it!" Confused and even more stressed out, I asked him how much that would cost. He said it would be $1,000 all together. I started to feel suspicious of it because when I handed the car over, I had no issues with my AC at all. I asked him if the car would still be drivable if I didn't replace it. He made it seem like it would be a very bad issue if I didn't replace it, but I could "temporarily" drive it for emergencies. I told him to not do anything extra but to replace the Power Steering pump like we had agreed. An hour later I went to the shop to wait. No one came to ask me why I was there or asked if I needed help. I had to wait until the mechanic working on my car came in and noticed I was in there. He starts off saying that my car now has a funny noise and that it was coming from my compressor. I felt so upset because my car wasn't making that noise at all when I left it. He told me that he couldn't guarantee that the work he did would be okay if something else happened to it. He tried to show me the price of the AC compressor on his computer to explain why he wanted to charge me $1000. The whole situation seemed very off and I just wanted to pay and leave. I checked my AC and it was working fine and it was blowing out cold air. My gut was telling me that he was being dishonest/suspicious. About three weeks later, the same pulley is now having issues. It is not spinning straight and I'll now have to get that part replaced again. If that part is brand new, why am I having the same issues? I have pictures to show the damage on the pulley on this "brand new" part. We had called them to explain what happened and they told us to bring it back but honestly I don't want anything to do with them and I hope others are cautious if they give them business.

He suggested an approach and off I went, successfully getting warranty coverage for that particular item. He's a very kind man and a very fair price for service done same day without an appointment.
