    Had a transmission replaced here, paid almost 10k. One of the worst experiences i have ever had. I got my Audi Q7 back, immediately noticed a clunk from the front end that was not there. Upon further inspection, found missing subframe bolts, bell housing bolts, missing shield on the transmission. Every item that has been brought to Ken's attention was somehow not their fault. There was absolutely no accountability, everything was actually my fault, I got lied to by the owner (Ken). I was over charged on certain repairs, additional parts added without approval. Charged over $250 for a trans cooler flush, he slipped up and said he used air to blow out the lines. The only item they addressed was replacing the missing subframe bolt which was too obvious, the bell housjng bolt was not their fault and now cant be replaced because the transmission is not aligned, broken set rotor set screws not being replaced. Many many more issues, too much to type. I addressed my concerns and frustrations with the owner Ken, the reply from him was an estimate for over 7k to repair what they broke he wanted me to approve. Future customers beware, if you end up having an issue with them, Ken will find a way to get out of it. Enjoy the pictures I have of proof for what happened after they took 10k.

    Honesty, pricing and customer service. Never take your German Import to a dealer for work. Dandini is your only option

    I've been coming up to Boyd's or SunAuto for a couple months, as I've been there I've seen a lot of…read moreunprofessional things going on. I will list a few. Clint, is allowed to pick and choose what work he WANTS to do as if it's not his job to do them; Along with he leaves at 5pm no matter if he's working on a car so he leaves his work for someone else. Logan, has almost drove a car off the alignment rack and they still allowed him to work without suspending him. Hannah, bosses everyone around and the manager Mark has told someone "if you can't work with Hannah you can't work here." She also messed up a head gasket and still is working there. Along with her dating Logan which is making him getting an advantage working there. Mark, he allows all of these unprofessional activities and he's the manager. The job has alot of favoritism which isn't good for any type of job. LJ is a fantastic worker and is very professional. The next time you think about coming here think do you want these type of things to be allowed where your cars going. I advise new management and workers for this business to thrive.

    I recently had the water pump replaced on my vehicle at Luke's Auto Shop. Unfortunately, shortly…read moreafter the repair, I discovered that a coolant hose clamp associated with the water pump had been left improperly installed. This caused coolant to leak into the engine bay and could have led to much more serious engine damage if it hadn't been caught quickly. A mistake like this is concerning because the cooling system is a critical component, and something as basic as verifying that all hose clamps are properly secured should be part of every final inspection before a vehicle is returned to the customer. That said, I also believe it's important to recognize when a business makes a genuine effort to address a problem. Once the issue was brought to the shop's attention, the service manager handled the situation professionally. While the original workmanship issue should not have occurred, he did what he could to make the situation right by listening to my concerns, arranging for the vehicle to be checked over, and working to restore my confidence in the repair. No repair shop is immune to mistakes, but how those mistakes are handled matters. In this case, the initial repair fell short of the standard I expected, but the service manager's professionalism and willingness to stand behind the work improved what could have been a much worse experience. Overall, I hope the shop strengthens its quality-control procedures to ensure critical items like coolant hose connections are verified before vehicles leave the shop. If they do, I believe they can provide a much more consistently positive customer experience.

    I went to Luke's about a month ago, because I needed to get my transmission flushed. I was…read moreincredibly happy with the service. First of all, when you set up an appointment, you can request a loaner car, so that you don't need to wait there for the car, and I didn't have to miss work. I also saw a different rep ordering someone an Uber for a different customer because who didn't have appointment so there wasn't a loaner available. Secondly, I originally went in for a transmission flush. While I was at work, I got a text and email of the inspection they had done. The inspection was really easy to read, and gave me different levels of recommendations for other things that needed to be done. Some things were urgent, and some things were needed soon, but not urgent, and there were some things that were for maintenance only. On my lunch break, I called my service rep, and he was able to talk me through all of the things on the report, and explain things to me, because I am pretty illiterate when it comes to cars. I ended up also getting my drive belt replaced as well. But my rep made sure to let me know what the price would before I decided to go through with it. At the end of my work day, I drove my loaner car back to Luke's and picked my car up, and was on my way. Overall, the inspection report, and the loaner car I think is what really separates Luke's from the rest. When I've taken my car to get an oil change or the tires replaced at other places, i've always had to wait in the lobby and its a waste of time. I lost no time with Luke's and knew exactly what was happening to my car. Take your car to Luke's if you want incredible service.
