I paid $800 and the AC was blowing hot air the next day. I took it back to the shop where the owner Vincent said that if it didn't work to bring it back and he would take care of it. The next day he said my fan was broken and needed another part for $500. This place is incompetent and just naming parts to repair and charge for labor. They said that when they originally assessed my car, the fan was fine.... Which was all of one day after I took my car back.

My 30-year old MX-5 has new brakes that work great because these guys go the extra mile and get it done. Thanks again, Fredo, Brian, and Louis!

Lightning Auto Repair and Tires went above and beyond to help me during a stressful situation with…read morea rental car flat tire. They quickly identified the source of the flat and explained clearly that the nail had breached the sidewall, making it unsafe and not legally repairable. Even though they couldn't repair the tire, they took the time to walk me through my options, including coordinating with my rental car agency. Once the rental company told me where to go to swap vehicles, the team at Lightning made sure my damaged tire had enough air and confirmed it was safe for me to drive carefully to the swap location. All of this was done complimentary, with professionalism, honesty, and genuine care for my safety. I can't thank this team enough for how they handled everything. This is the kind of shop you can trust, and I will absolutely be back in the future. Highly recommend.

Do NOT bring your car here. Not only was the original problem not resolved but more issues came…read moreafter when the mechanic kept our car overnight for a service that should have taken 3-4 hours. He was argumentative, saying he's been doing this 25 years, and explained the cause of our cars issue was due to a part that does not EXISIT on my particular vehicle. I felt totally duped, and inconvenienced. He quoted us one price ($1500 if we needed all 4 cats replaced -- we only have 2, and a ujoint, that he never installed). We decided to only do one of the repairs so he charged us $800 instead. He never told us our parts would be aftermarket, nor did he ask our preference. I ended up disputing the charge with my credit card, and winning. Take a look at their BBB rating and that's all you need to know. I wish I had known sooner

How do you do that in the auto repair business? Well, it's 4 months later and about 4,000 and this baby is running better than ever. It sounds and shifts just like the factory. He did do a rebuild on mine. He may not be the cheapest but do you really want that guy? No, you want the guy that knows what he's doing and has the tools, shop and experience to do it right. Spend your money here and you won't be sorry. 4/4/20 update. Over 25k miles run on the rebuilt transmission and everything is still great.

In Sept of '24, I first brought the car to Rennen Imports for A/C service…read more In the process of diagnosing the issue, Stephen suggested I repair other needed maintenance-related issues as well as what was believed to be a lower compressor line on the A/C. After returning home from these repairs, I noticed grease splatter and leaking from the cv axles. This was taken care of on an additional visit at no cost to me. Then in Jan '25, I returned to have the A/C looked at again (for the original issue) and some new clunking noises that had surfaced from front end work. This time I'm told there is no visible issues with the A/C and the clunking noises could be anything. With the mis-diagnoses of the A/C, clunking issues, and leaking of the axle, I've decided that I can no longer trust the "guessing and wanting to throw parts at it", that Stephen made reference to. I will no longer need servicing at Rennen Imports.

That said, this shop has earned my trust completely. From routine maintenance to more nuanced work, they've been consistently sharp, thorough, and honest. No upselling nonsense, no guesswork--just solid diagnostics, clear communication, and work that actually holds up. They understand European vehicles, and more importantly, they respect them. What stands out most is consistency. It's one thing to get it right once--it's another to deliver the same level of precision every single time across multiple vehicles. They've done exactly that for me. If you've got a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz and want it handled properly, this is the place. Reliable, knowledgeable, and professional without the attitude you sometimes get in this space. Hard to find shops like this anymore.
