They started to purchase other parts for the vehicle which i approved based on their suggestions and recommendations. Bottom line, i drove away with engine light still on and over $4K out of my pocket. A honest business person with Integrity would of said "listen we were not able to locate the problem on your vehicle or we don't have a skilled mechanics onsite to service your vehicle" and allowed me to drive away with paying only the diagnostic fee. Instead they recommended all other fixes to get money from me or simply rip me off knowingly they couldn't fix my vehicle. And the funny thing, they came recommended - go figure. I tried to stay local in support of my community but i guess that was another big mistake.

So I can't do any more than three stars because I didn't actually use Ray's auto for anything, and…read moreI don't want to give less than three because I don't know how their service is.. I am leaving a review however because at about 10:00 on a Thursday morning, I called these guys because my wife is sitting on the side of an exit ramp off the highway with a flat tire and I needed someone to either tow it, or change it for her, and I figured a nice 24-hour towing place would be able to get it done... Only instead of answering the phone it rang a few times and went to voicemail. I thought that was kind of odd. I've used 24-hour towing places before and typically there is at least an operator or someone that answers the phone, or one time I remember a voicemail box that said if nobody calls you back in 5 minutes here's another number. But anyway yeah, yelp is where I typically go to share my experiences, and luckily we found someone else that I basically threw a stack of cash at to go change her tire for her.

Went for my oil change , it was recommended by the mechanic to do it within the first 5000 miles. the follow day took my car for a drive to the city and it broke down.Couldn't shift gears or move at ALL , There was oil leaking from the car . Mind you I got an oil change the day before. So that should have been checked out . I Had 2 verified German mechanics check it out and both said the same thing . Mechanic stated there's nothing they can do unless they see the car but the car wasn't even towable to bring to them so that's 9,000 down the drain . No compensation, no care just " sorry there's nothing we can do " . Horrible business

They inspected my vehicle last year, no problem. There are different people there now when I took…read moremy vehicle in for inspection. They called & said it needed breaks all the way around. The girl in the office said they were squealing real bad. NO WAY! When I said no she said " So you just want him to fail it?" I pick my car up, had to pay for the inspection and drove out with no sticker in my window. I made an appointment with a garage that I know would not rip me off(now before you wonder why I didn't take it there to begin with,, I knew my car would pass inspection!) Sure enough, it passed NO PROBLEM! Be careful who you trust with your money!!
