Going to see if a diagnostic can be made to exactly see what the problem was. Went to Tom Russell Auto repair. an older heavy set mechanic took a look at me and flat out told me to go next door to see if I could get help there, they were busy and it "sounded" like a problem I needed to go to the dealer to get fixed. Well how do you know if you didn't even bother to do the diagnostic? So I took my business literally 4-5 steps next door to D&R auto repair and was helped right away! They found the problem fixed it and even let me know of other things found that was going bad on my car! I'm mot EVER going to Tom Russell Auto Repair. I will NEVER refer my friends or family to go there either.

The check engine light was on so we couldn't smog it. Took it up our mechanic in Santee and they found a problem with the catalytic converter. They said one side was bad and recommended Hanson's to get it fixed. I called Hanson's and was able to get an appointment for the next day. While the car was there they found another problem that was an inexpensive fix. They were able to install the cat and make the other fix the same day. Overall I am very impressed with the work, service, and advice/direction I received from Hanson's.

1 Star - Would Not Recommend…read more I went to Ed Hanson's Muffler for a simple resonator/muffler delete, basic exhaust work. This shop used to have a solid reputation, which is the only reason I chose it. Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be the case. I arrived when they opened and clearly explained that I did not want to be stuck there all day. I don't live close by, and I needed to pick up my daughter from school later. I specifically told them I was completely fine dropping the car off and coming back once it was finished if the job was going to take a while. They laughed and said that wouldn't be necessary, and that they'd be in trouble if a job like this took that long, implying it would be done quickly. Instead, the work dragged on for most of the day. I was repeatedly told it was "almost done," which kept me waiting there instead of leaving. Had they been honest upfront, I would have left and returned later without any issue. During this time, the employee working on the car moved extremely slowly, frequently stopping to socialize, smoke, eat, and take extended breaks. There was no sense of urgency and no respect for my time. Because of this, I nearly ended up late picking up my daughter from school, which was exactly what I was trying to avoid by offering to drop the car off in the first place. To make matters worse, the final result was disappointing. The piping looks sloppy and unprofessional, like basic budget muffler work, yet the price was unreasonably high for the quality delivered. Ed Hanson's may have been a respectable shop at one point, but based on my experience and many others now a days, that standard is no longer there. Don't waste your hard-earned money or your time.

So where do I start? I wish I could give them a zero-star review. I went to have my brakes,…read morerotors and struts done on my vehicle. I ended up also needing new tires. Mind you I have been bringing my car here for years. But in the last year they have changed management a few times and were having issues getting a mechanic. I trusted that they would do a good job since that was my past experience. A week after the repairs I was driving and I hear a weird noise like I ran something over but the road was clear. When I got to work 5 minutes later, I looked and one of the lug nuts had come off. I called Dalton to let him know what occurred and he said to bring it in. I drove directly there after work and they fixed said issue. Mind you he tried to blame it on it being an old lug nut (the inside threading was brand new) and told me that it wasn't usually their responsibility to replace these (which on the paperwork for all the work that was done it stated that I was billed for lug nuts). I mean in all the years I have had cars not once has something like this happened. While I waited on my car, I could hear Dalton talking about me in the bay. I think this behavior is super unprofessional and rude. After the car was finished, he told me that there was something wrong with my catalytic converter and I needed to have that checked. Didn't explain anything about that comment and I felt that was weird since I only took it in to get the lug nut fixed. I have had it checked since and there is nothing wrong with it. The very next day I heard another weird sound that sounded like metal grinding coming from my front right tire. I called them immediately and he said it wasn't the brakes and that I needed to bring it in but that it wasn't the brakes or rotors. I was tired from all the gaslighting he was giving me about how it wasn't something they did. I was so frustrated with having to go there that I decided to have my husband take it in. My husband had test drove the car to see if he would hear the sound I heard. He did and took it in for me. When my husband took it in, there was another person working that day. They immediately checked and it turned out that the mechanic that worked on my car before never bolted in the front right caliper and it was grinding on my rim. The person working that day was super apologetic and fixed the issue immediately. So, I have yet to get a call from Dalton or anyone else to apologize for allowing me to drive with a part that was not bolted in and could have caused me to get into a major car accident. The fact that he kept gaslighting me into thinking it wasn't their work that was not up to par is ridiculous. With all of that said after years of being a customer, I will no longer trust my safety in their hands.

I came into Tire Choice today after discovering a serious and concerning issue with one of the…read moreGoodyear tires installed on my truck. I will be sharing the photos because the condition of this tire speaks for itself. I want to be clear that the young technician who helped me was respectful and professional, and I understand that he personally does not have the authority to make final decisions. He contacted corporate while I was there, and unfortunately the response became focused on warranty limitations, prorated coverage, alignment checks, testing procedures, and technicalities instead of simply addressing what is clearly an unsafe tire condition. I have been a loyal customer. I trusted this shop with all four tires, suspension work, shocks, battery work, and multiple other services over time. I have invested a lot of money into maintaining my vehicle properly, which is exactly why this situation is so frustrating. This is not normal wear and tear. The tire has strong tread remaining overall, there was no accident, no curb strike, no abuse, and no impact event. The failure is isolated and abnormal, and based on the visible condition, I genuinely believe this tire is defective. What concerns me most is safety. This could have caused a serious freeway blowout, damage to my vehicle, injury to myself, or even harm to other people on the road. Thankfully I noticed it before something worse happened. I gave the company the opportunity to simply stand behind the product, replace the unsafe tire, and keep a loyal customer happy. Instead, the situation turned into a process-driven debate over policies and exclusions. I am not attacking the employees, and I am not looking for something unreasonable. I am simply asking the company to do the right thing, stand behind the safety of the product they sold, and take care of a customer who has supported their business.
