Gene, went above and beyond to save me money on replacing the back axle of jeep (that I no longer have but dearly miss). Donna, is incredible and what a lot people fail to realize, this lady does the clerical work and jumps in to help out in the garage, I have seen people team her over coals - not knowing that she is busting her tail, just as much as a man does. I like to consider myself, an honest person and going after someone as hard working as her - really sets me on fire!! These people bust their hard-working tails off to provide the best auto service in the City of Waynesboro, so show them respect please. This is not pointed to everyone, just those (I don't know other customers may be going through - but an ounce of kindness is good for the soul). Any woo, for those looking for down-to-earth, honest, and excellent workmanship, this place is for you!!

I paid the asking price for buying the parts and installing them (new front and rear brakes, front and rear rotors, windshield wipers) for one vehicle, and a throttle body (part only at that point) for another vehicle. NEVER repaired the throttle body. Removed it, 2 other parts were broken during the removal process, left that vehicle in parts in my yard with the engine cover missing. Then stated he would need to take the entire rear part of my motor off (and maybe another part), it would be a 2 day job, he needed to order a part that could only be purchased from the manufacturer, that part would take 2 weeks to arrive, would cost $2000 due to tariffs, and he could get it all finished for 2500-2800 when parts arrived. I questioned the continued increase in the price and was told it was because of tariffs and no place has the plastic part only the manufacturer. ALL of that regarding the necessary parts or how to fix the throttle body was incorrect. I ordered new parts for the ones that were broken (they were not broken before the old throttle body was removed) for less than $200, and the repair was done in a couple of hours for no where near what Dillon was stating he would charge. NEVER replaced any rotor or the front brakes for the other vehicle despite stating the rear rotors were replaced when the rear brakes were replaced. He only replaced the rear brakes (and they started making noise less than a week later--never made any noise prior and I stated I needed brakes and rotors based on my visual inspection of them and that is how i knew the rotors were never replaced--I looked the following morning). Stated there are 2 different types of front brakes for my vehicle, and he purchased the wrong ones despite entering the VIN in to search for parts. That also is incorrect--you type the vehicle information into the system, and there are different brands for brakes, but not different types (he said one type had 2 prongs and the other had 3 prongs). He stated that if I paid him for the parts (and he showed me some price list on his phone), he would drive to my work the next morning and repair my brakes so that I could get it inspected on the way home from work. That never happened. I never heard anything until after I sent emails and texts stating I was very concerned because I paid for the parts and install, but had not heard anything. Hours later he responded and stated he would be heading my way after he finished an alternator job. He never came or responded again that day/evening. I reached out again the following day inquiring about when the work would be done since I had paid for the parts and install already. He came late that day and then only "replaced" the rear brakes, but said rear brakes and rotors were replaced. After not repairing the brakes and rotors as paid for, he told me to take my vehicle to a shop in Churchville for a state inspection since the person working there "knew his [Dillon's] work and doesn't really check anything for the inspections, so it will be a guaranteed pass and will save you in the long run". I just want a refund for the parts and services I paid for and never received or give me the parts that I paid for and never received and refund for the install fee that was paid upfront as asked. They do not respond to texts or emails and the voicemail is full, so you cannot leave a message.

When I mentioned it, the mechanic told me to bring it back if it continued. When I took it back for them to try to determine the problem, they had no record of me or my previous visit in their system--even though I paid them twice. They claimed I needed an alignment due to uneven wear, but I'd had one just 6 months earlier and hadn't hit any potholes. A trusted mechanic later confirmed my differential had chunks missing from it ($850 repair). Talking it over with a friend, who explained what was required to do such damage, it became clear: someone must have taken my car (a twin-turbo) for a joy ride after the tire install and hit something hard enough to damage both the alignment and differential. Bottom line: avoid this shop--your car may come back worse than when you dropped it off.
