The plastic zip tie that was removed from my cylinder. Melted due to the heat of the engine.

I took my vehicle into Firestone for a simple spark plug replacement on July 3rd. What should have been a routine service turned into a months-long nightmare that ended with my car leaving on a tow truck instead of being safely driven home. After the work was completed, my vehicle began misfiring badly. Firestone refused to take responsibility and insisted the issue had nothing to do with their repair. I had to take my car to another repair shop, where they immediately discovered the real cause: Firestone had left a plastic zip tie inside my cylinder, directly causing the misfire and damage. This was not a coincidence--it was a direct result of their work. Despite clear proof, Firestone still refused to take accountability. Communication was slow, unhelpful, and dismissive. I was left without proper transportation, stuck with a broken vehicle, and forced to fight for months just to be heard. Only after I escalated the issue and contacted the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) of California did Firestone finally cooperate. Four months later--in November--I finally received a refund. No apology. No accountability until a government agency got involved. WARNING TO OTHERS: If Firestone makes a mistake, do not expect them to immediately own it. Document everything. Get a second opinion. And if you're being ignored or dismissed, contact the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) right away. This could have been handled quickly and professionally. Instead, it became one of the most stressful and financially draining experiences I've ever had with an auto shop. I will never return, and I strongly caution others before trusting them with their vehicle.

If you're looking for an honest, highly skilled mechanic, S & M Automotive is outstanding and checks so many boxes! I come down from Ventura to see "Shady", and his name couldn't be more ironic, because there's nothing shady about him or his work. He's been maintaining my 2005 Lexus SC430 and has saved me a boatload of money on repairs and maintenance over the years. He's respectful, friendly, and clearly takes pride in getting things right. My most recent service made the car run like it did when it was new. The engine is humming smoothly again, something I've honestly NEVER experienced after a repair or routine maintenance anywhere else and I've owned this car since 2007. And while the name S & M Automotive might make some people do a double take (hahaha), the only thing painful here is realizing how unnecessary other repair bills can be once you find a mechanic this good and dependable. If you want honest, skilled automotive service, S & M Automotive is absolutely trustworthy and dependable.

These folks were super helpful! I was 50 miles from home and my car was overheating. Worse yet, the…read moreend of the business day was quickly approaching. Despite that, the folks at S&M took the time to do a quick assessment of my car and advise me what the likely problems were. That really helped me assess my options. I could not be more appreciative and, if I lived in the area, I definitely would give them an opportunity to be my regular mechanic.
