Clint was impatient and rude when answering my questions over the phone, and I hung up feeling like I had wasted his time. It was awful. Perhaps he was just having a bad day, but that certainly does not justify how he treated me. If anyone has recommendations for a different shop that provides quality automotive work AND respectful customer service, I would appreciate it.

Incredibly rude front desk person (x 2), one year later…read more I stepped in to ask for a quote on an older van. I had researched rebuild costs, shipped with strong warranties. Around 2,400.$ from 3 national remanufacturers with a good reputation. And it is generally agreed in US user groups for this model install costs are between $800-1200. There was a man casually seated while another, standing, was engaged in friendly banter that lasted some minutes. From my seat when the service man was alone and the asked how he could help me, I explained I needed a rebuild trans quote, labor and materials, and the cite the year, make and model of the vehicle along with the specific trans model #. After some minutes at his PC monitor, his head rises from his monitor gaze, he looks at me, and says "$7200". Knowing that 2,400. is the base fee I wonder how, what is less than a days labor, can create an added sum of $4,800. Understanding there are a few variables, such as different supplier, core charges..but little else..I am utterly surprised. I then reply cooly that the rebuilt trans generally (shipped) is around $2,400. He then says "So you can replace the transmission" without pause, and with full confidence in his voice and words. I reply calmly "Thank-you", then walk to the shop actually in front on DP Road, where i have had prior small repairs done. matter-of-fact owner. I then reexplain my needs, providing the same detailed information as before. The owner says he will text me a quote, which I receive within 15 minutes. Detailed materials, labor, total cost and warranty. $5,800. Please do not forget the other shops in town who are competitive and care if they offend or alienate possible customers, without provocation. These guys are hustlers and swindlers. Napa, RPM, Immaculate Auto, Hermans, LA Auto, Expert Auto Solutions, Preventech - try them if in need..spend your money where you wont be thieved and overcharged, while contemptuous of your being. *Note. Ran into a friend after writing this, and shared my experience. He had been overcharged, and upsold on uneccesary services there he said, and would never return. And he has lived here for decades.

Preventech was never mentioned partly because it was a one man shop with Buddy doing everything and partly because he is at the very end of DP road with a small sign.After some years I was having a problem no one could fix and someone mentioned Buddy. I was very impressed 20 years ago and continue to be impressed today,He is both a genius with anything automotive and a perfectionist as well. He will not let your car leave his shop until it is as good as it can be, He is particularly concerned with safety..Even if it is not what you brought it in for, any potentially unsafe issues will be fixed and fixed correctly. He does not take short cuts, He is obsessed with the job being perfect. Downside? The relatively small number of customers that know of him will not use anyone else so he is always booked up well in advance, If it is an emergency he will do what he can. He is truly one of those genius mechanics that once fixed a problem in my driveway with my motorhome i had already wasted $2000 on taking it to Santa Fe. There is one other genius mechanic in Los Alamos but I am not going to give all my secrets away,

When I called them, they were willing to help and called a driver, Louise, who came up, sized up the situation, and used the lifting the back of his flatbed to left the rear of the 67 Mustang and then backed it up onto the flatbed and centered it perfectly. He was a real pro and really saved our bacon. I strongly recommend these folks. They will help you even when everyone else turns you down.
