It wasn't covered by warranty but containued to tell the the part wason back order. Totally lied to me vs telling me it wasn't covered???? What's up with that. So decided to try a locally Owned business When I walked in I was greeted by Gina, NO WAITING just a great greeting n knew I found a great place to have the "BEAST" Serviced and takin care of. Had oil change n tire rotation and a inspection of the vehicle. Seems like a honest facility. Called when it was done vs me calling. These people did a great job and was finshed when promised and Gina called me!!!!

I was a customer of Absolute Automotive for many years, which is why writing this review is a bit…read moredifficult. My previous experiences with this shop had been satisfactory including reasonable prices, which is why I returned for service this last time. I had my Mitsubishi Montero Sport, with approximately 95,000 miles, towed to the shop after it had been in storage for several months. Before storage, I had driven it and I had not experienced any misfires. My vehicle was towed because an oil leak had contaminated the alternator, preventing it from keeping the battery charged. I wanted the leaks repaired, the alternator replaced, and my SUV inspected before I began driving it again, so it would be dependable. The shop performed repairs including oil leak repairs, a tune-up, an oil change, a new alternator, a new air filter, and a new 5-year battery. My bill was just under $2,000. When I picked up my SUV, I was told it had developed a misfire likely related to Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer I used during storage. I was instructed to drive my vehicle and run several tanks of premium fuel through it, and I was told the issue should resolve itself. During that time I experienced surging and reduced engine power. I followed those instructions, but the issue continued. I returned to the shop, where the code was cleared, but the problem persisted. I was again advised to continue driving my SUV and to continue using premium fuel. At that time, I was not advised that additional diagnosis was needed to determine the cause of the misfire. After several months, while driving on the freeway, the engine suddenly shut off and I had to coast to the shoulder. Approximately an hour later, I was told my vehicle had suffered catastrophic engine failure and was not repairable. I was also directed to a local wrecking yard (B & R Auto Wrecking) that might offer around $200 for my SUV. Even though it no longer works, I decided to keep my vehicle. I reported the drivability issues multiple times and followed the advice I was given by the same person at Absolute Automotive. Despite this, my vehicle ultimately suffered catastrophic engine failure. Also during this time, that same employee sent me unsolicited and very explicit photos of himself by text message (receipt). He later apologized via text. I responded that his behavior was not okay and that I did not want to discuss it further. I do not believe the owner(s) of the shop would condone this behavior. I have been unable to speak with an owner because the same employee who sent the nude photos answers the phone whenever I call. I also submitted a written request by email for copies of my last three repair invoices several weeks ago so I could better understand the work that had been performed on my vehicle. I have not received a response. As a long-time loyal customer, I did not expect this type of experience. As a woman in her 60's I no longer have a working vehicle because it would cost thousands of dollars to rebuild the engine, so now I have to walk everywhere. To say the least, losing reliable transportation has had a significant impact on my daily life.

One thing worth knowing for anyone booking here: don't expect your car to be seen at your scheduled…read moretime. Book expecting a wait. I booked this appointment two days in advance for 1:30 pm wheel alignment had & dropped my car off early at 12:36 pm in case they could start sooner without expectations. From 1 pm till 2:47pm car sat in the parking lot untouched. Around 2 pm someone came over to offer coffee n' water & said thanks for your patience, we've had a tough day, but gave me no timeline. Whenn't even started yet, that I finally went to ask how much longer I was told the it alone takes about an hour, so I was looking at another hour on top of the two I'd already waited and hour from the appointment time. When I raised my concern, the front desk staff told me the appointment time isn't when service starts, it's just your drop-off time. That's not stated anywhere on their website or when booking. After more than two hours with no proactive updates I chose to leave & book with another shop. To the shop: this would've been a completely different experience if someone had simply told me up front that you were running behind & given me the choice to wait or reschedule. I would have rescheduled if that option had been offered honestly & early. Please train your team to flag delays proactively & add a note when booking that appointment times are drop-off windows. That one change would fix everything that went wrong here.

They denied this but my husband being knowledgeable about landscaping asked why there was so much drit like someone went to Lowes or home Depot and picked up either a bunch of plants or soil, found foot prints on the INSIDE of the windshield on the front passenger side like someone was having a good old time, there was oil all over the top of the oil cover, soil threw out the whole car You know i expected a little bit of drit from getting in and out off the car but didnt expect the car needing a full detailed work AGAIN when I brought it in I ONLY had it LESS THAN A WEEK and it was super clean maybe a mico amount of drit from getting in and out of it but #1) I never went and got soil or plants to have that much drit in the trunk #2) I never gave then permission to enter my car and pull out the car seat I was supposed too have gone and get it which I expressed #3) there was no foot prints on the inside of the windshield I would have noticed it since I wipe it down every other day #4) they order the parts and without informing you about the mistake and let it SIT for 2weeks fully knowing it takes 2weeks to get the part to come in so when you call thinking you car is done on time to find out its gonna be another 2-3weeks and then not also informing you that the part is delayed then by 'magic' it shows up the next day Over all if I could i would leave a -5 review They really dropped the ball And ill never come back This happened back in end of February 2026 it took me so long to leave a review because I was so pissed off, distort and had to get it properly cleaned which took longer than it should because thats how bad they left my car It even looked like they loaned my car out and if they did thats illegal They shouldn't have done personal earns and called it "drive test" when I asked where the car is and that I want to look at it and not leaving till after we tested ourselves because at that point we where so done and just wanted to car back (it went from trying to get help to being a total nightmare) they kept saying "it be back in about an hr or so" which translates to "Someone has the car and is doing personal errands with it and they will be back when there back" we waited over an hr had to come back the next day A drive test shouldn't have taken no more than 30mins to an hr not 4hrs not come back tomorrow afternoon my dad did a drive test and was back within 30-40mins THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMERS AND WILL LIE
