    Spark plug on Amazon

    Service was ok and thought not much of it until I came home to do a little research. I paid $149.28 for 6 plugs and later found out they ripped me off. Could've got the same for $55-60. That's a 170% markup! Lost around $95 on extra charge. Future customers, buy your own parts first after asking what parts they will be using. Also borrow an OB2 reader from O Riley's to save yourself $ on unneeded repairs like I did. I felt scammed knowing they could've used a 5 minute OB2 reading to let me know it was a coil problem not spark plugs, coupled with using 170% marked up parts. Wasted $400+. Felt a little predatory. Good luck Reply to Owner: I did let them know I wanted spark plugs replaced from finding a similar case online. I take blame for not using a OB2 reader before going in. However, as professionals it would have been nice if you guys performed a 5 min OB2 reading like O Riley's. It would have saved everyone parts, costs, time and business. With that said, my post was mostly about the $95 markup on parts. That's a 170% markup on parts. That's just crazy. I already paid high labor cost of $225. Hence the feeling of being scammed. Sorry if all other mechanics do this practice too

    I had brought my car to get my 60K maintenance done at 8am, earlier today. I went to pick up my car at 4PM then I get a text with my information from "Oscar" stating that he's my mechanic with the confirmed place that I had just picked up my car from 3.5 hrs ago. Then he tells me they're going to charge me an additional $1200 from what I had already paid along with the company's phone number to call if I have questions. This made me so upset and frustrated. I thought I found a super close by auto shop near my house and I would be able to trust this shop and the people who work there. Vile. I am horrified and disgusted that they tricked me and threatened me with debt collectors if I did not pay them. Only after threatening them that I will be contacting the police did they state "wrong customer". I would not recommend this shop as your information cannot be confidential and who knows, others might fall for their trap and get scammed by these people.

    Another exceptional visit to Great Mall Tire Outlet with Frank!!!…read more With my tire pressure light being lit for about a week, I finally made the time to take my car to the gas station I frequently visit. Thankfully I made the visit sooner than later because my tires all measured 10-15 notches as being underinflated by what the recommended levels were. With some help, I was able to add the appropriate air into each tire but came to a road block with the driver side rear tire. Air would not enter, nor would the amount of air measure with the air thingamajig. Naturally, I PANICKED!! I immediately assumed I needed a whole new tire, or worst- an entire set!! I hopped in my car and immediately drove out to see Frank. No lie, this place is a revolving door full of customers. If that doesn't confirm how knowledgeable and trustworthy this business is, I don't know what will. Even on an early morning Tuesday, my arrival was met with an estimated 1.5 hour wait. Come patient and come ready to be 100% satisfied. 5/5 Stars for always being such a big help.

If you're looking for someone trustworthy who does great work and provides excellent customer service, this is the place. We always recommend his services to friends and family who need help!!

She always give you an option of using OEM or quality aftermarket parts, and provide quotes so you can compare and find what's best for your needs.

They even help arranged a ride to a nearby car rental shop. They truly go above and beyond for their service. My first review was about replacing struts.
