Highly recommend C-Side auto repair. First off I was really impressed with their customer service…read more They are not a big corporation and actually care about your safety and the safety of others on the road. We went to Mavis because my husband was hearing noises near his wheels. Mavis quoted us $2700 to replace the upper and lower control arms because they said they were bad. We went to c-side for a second opinion and they said it was the wheel bearings on the passenger side. C-side saved us money and also addressed the real issue instead of up-charging us. I highly recommend going to them and anytime I have issues in the future I will be going to them.

As a woman, I'm always a little skeptical walking into an auto shop. Unfortunately, there are…read moreplaces that take advantage, and that's always in the back of my mind. But while I was waiting, I listened to the gentleman running the desk help customer after customer. He made sure everyone got the best price and the best service possible. You could genuinely tell he cared. It was an immediate relief. C-Side Auto took great care of my car, gave me a discount when my bill came in higher than expected, and provided excellent service from start to finish. The free diagnostic was a huge plus as well. I'll definitely be back (hopefully not anytime soon ) and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable service.

I wanted to write an honest review about my experience at this transmission specialist Bob and his…read moreteam at Crom. I showed up with a transmission that had been, at quite an expense to myself been rebuilt in a faulty manner which no one wanted to touch. I had been ripped off and after spending 4.2K on what was supposed to be a 'high performance' transmission from Monster Transmission I couldn't even use first gear out of the box from Monster, and had a blinking O/D light. I am about to deploy and I didn't have time to wait another 6 weeks for a turn around to send it to FL and then get MAYBE a non-defective product. Bob sat in the vehicle with me and saw the codes that I was getting and that the gear shift solenoids were shifting properly. After pulling the valve body and determining that it wasn't the valve body that was faulty, I made the decision to have him pull the transmission and rebuilt it AGAIN.  This was after I saw how many other customers had been ripped off by monster transmissions. I mean I had to REALLY dig to find it on the internet and I regretted I didn't see the reviews sooner.  What he found was absolutely unbelievable.The clutch packs which was out of tolerance of .01 x4 which was the main culprit preventing first gear from working but also a blown out valve plug a broken, deep pan bracket which he had to fabricate a fix for, corrosion on the 'replaced high performance shims', There was another section that had been installed 180degrees from Ford Specifications as well. Bob felt so bad for me after 3 days of troubleshooting and rebuilding even though he replaced all the rusted pieces and parts that they had 'replaced' at monster free of cost to me. Can you believe that Bob found that monster transmissions had put in rusted components into a transmission!? SMH for monster trans. I digress, He re-shimmed everything else back to spec and the transmission is very nice.  He had pictures and showed me in person all the replaced components as well. There was no mystery as to what he had installed and it was an honest and transparent experience.  I wish I had the sense to just have sought out Crom from the beginning! I would have been back on the road within 2 weeks with his 2 year unlimited mile warranty and not spent twice that for a piece of junk that was just painted nice! It now has positive firm shifts and it operates as it should. I don't know if I'll be re-funded by monster but I now trust Crom transmissions to rebuilt my transmissions. I know that Bob rebuilding my transmission and unraveling the problems was tough but he solved it and I'm as happy as I can be and I know that he could have charged me much more for the parts that he had to replace. he loves what he does and the whole shop was awesome to work with as well! I came out 500-800 ahead and only paid for labor.  I trust these guys they are professional and love what they do! Happy to do business with them again in the future. Now a loyal customer!

So sorry Cliff's was recommended to us. My husband's Corvette has been back and forth there for 6…read moreweeks. They have messed up everything they touched. My husband usually does work himself, but he thought he would treat himself and not have to crawl under it. They have caused leaks and broken door panel clips. Thank goodness this isn't our main car. They said they would pay for him to take it elsewhere, but then wouldn't. The owner acted so awful. This has also caused such stress in our lives. NEVER do business with Cliff's!!!!

HORRIBLE SERVICE. I had my truck towed there for a "no start issue" , the next day I get a call…read moresaying the repairs will cost over $2300 I just don't have that kind of money just hanging around, so I asked Kenny on the phone, "OK if all else fails what do I owe you for the diagnostic?" He then said "$85.60". So I spoke with my wife and we decided to pay for the diagnostic and do the repairs my self. The next day my wife went to pay and pick up the truck while I was at work, they charged her $107 to pick up the truck and pay for the diagnostic, their reasoning is that they " need to charge more because they are not doing the repair" and he said "we are not in business to tell people how to fix their truck" WHAT? I am paying you to find out the problem and now you want to charge me more because I don't have an extra $2300 just lying around? I paid for their services and now they want to add more money for LITTERALY nothing, I will never go back to this business and I will tell as many people as possible to steer clear. Nothing but a bunch of scum bags there.
