Willards Auto Service and Sale

Willards Auto Service and Sale

(10 reviews)

Finding a quality, reasonable car mechanic can be an immensely daunting experience. I have owned…read morefive cars in my lifetime thus far and I have a fundamental knowledge base when it comes to cars. Couple that with experiences at unsavory auto shops over the years, I tend to be well-versed in what to look for, what to ask, and know when the proverbial wool is being pulled over my eyes. I recently went to another auto shop because I received a coupon for a heavy discount on an oil change and the usually "multi-point inspection" - something my car needed so not having a regular mechanic and steering away from the "chains", I decided to use the coupon instead of going to the dealer. The quick story is the previous shop told me I needed front brake pads (which I knew). However they said it was imminent as the pads were low. I asked, "How low?" The quote was I had 6mm left and the rotors were very rusty. Pads generally can wait until there's about 2mm or so left. Since I drive 95% highway, I was not concerned about pads right now and could get away with driving a few more months. Rotors get rusty, but I wasn't experiencing any vibration, noise, or longer stopping times, plus the pads obviously weren't being worn down fast (they were 4 years old) so I opt'ed not to have any brake work done. Certainly not at the quote of $445. While that experience was eye opening in terms of what they were trying to tell me my car needed at exorbitant pricing, I asked around my inner circle for recommendations on a car mechanic. My inquires led me to Willard's. I bought my own brake pads (for less than $50) and called Willard's to see if they would put them on for me. I made no mention of the rotors. I wanted to see what they find. I called and spoke with Larry, the owner, and setup an appointment. When I arrived (you have to walk around back, not the front door), I met Larry whom I liked immediately. He's very pleasant, no frills, no BS. He offered to drive me anywhere I needed to go, even home! I said I could wait and asked for an estimate. He said he'd shuffle my car to the front as it's a quicker job and so I'm not kept waiting. That's great! In about 25 minutes, Larry comes around the front counter with my rotors. They were indeed rusted and grooved, but Larry explained and showed me why they should be replaced (being somewhat savvy, I knew already). I really liked that he came out with the rotors and explained it all. I went ahead and asked for the rotors to be replaced too. In about an hour or so, my car was ready. My own pads were on, new rotors, and they even cleaned and lubed the caliper sliders, plus changed the brake fluid! The cost after tax? $216.71! That is a savings of $228.29 based on the other shop's quote! My car now stops on a dime and I feel better my work was done by an honest mechanic. Larry is also an Army veteran, which resonates with me as I whole-heartedly support veterans in anyway I can, so knowing I wasn't getting screwed and supporting a local business owned by a veteran really made me day. If you need a mechanic who's honest, available (open Saturdays!), and does great work, please, please call Willard's. I don't give out 5 stars often, but when I do, it's for a reason. Cars are expensive, but quality repairs don't have to be as exemplified by Willard's.

I've been going here for a few years. Very reasonably priced. Very knowledgeable friendly people…read morethere.

Platinum Auto Sales - my brake pad two months into driving the car

Platinum Auto Sales

(8 reviews)

lied about replacing brake pads (including fraudulent receipts, two months into driving old pads…read moreflew off, see attached picture), was told that they didn't have to replace the rotors because the shaking from them was "the pads adjusting to the rotors" (quite literally not how that works), sold me a car with a cracked rear differential and kept the car almost my entire warranty to "replace my EVAP" so i wouldn't notice (ended up costing $3k), butt dialed me and could hear them calling me an idiot and saying i don't know what im talking about simply for requesting maintenance reports in farsi thinking i wouldn't understand, broke my rear suspension because they didn't screw in a bolt properly, incorrectly replaced the front bumper (didn't even put clips in) breaking the headlight and fog light assemblies AND a cracked grill, oh yeah, and still refused to give me a maintenance report. i cannot stress this enough, DO NOT GO HERE. they will lie, steal, cheat, and disrespect you.

I bought a truck from Platinum Sales in January and while the initial dealings were fine, the after…read moresales dealings were frustrating. We agreed on a price with new tires to be installed and had to wait a week for that to be taken care of, slight inconvenience, but hey I finally have my truck. Drive it home on a Friday night and find that the heater is blowing mildly warm air, thankfully had electric seat warmers and a heated steering wheel. Texted them of the problem when I got home that night. (The vehicle was always running with the heat and seat warmers on when I went to road test and pick up the vehicle, so did not notice the heat not working). The next morning I drove a half mile from home and went to take a left at an intersection and the power steering failed completely, had to muscle the truck back home. I arranged to have it towed thru AAA to get it back to their shop to help them out. After getting the run around on when the vehicle was going to be done, three weeks later it was supposedly ready to pick up. While they had it, they supposedly also fixed the heater issue which they were told by their mechanic that it was a thermostat issue. Their last thing to do was an alignment since the rack unit was replaced, which supposedly was done. I pick up the vehicle and am told the heat is all seat and when I check, nope, it was the same as before...vehicle running, heater on, seat warmers on. I could not leave it with them any longer as I had been out of work for three weeks waiting for the steering rack replacement. I told them I would have to bring the vehicle back another time. I take the vehicle home, drove for almost a week and went to get it inspected and it failed, bad ball joints they said. I worked at a garage for 11 years and we did front end repairs so I am very knowledgeable about front ends and I know you can't do an alignment with parts that are worn out in the front end, they won't hold the alignment specs. So either their mechanic lied about being able to do an alignment, or Platinum knew about the ball joints and just gave it back in hopes it would pass inspection and would be my problem down the road. So, it went back to them again for the ball joint replacement and another attempt at the heater issue. Ball joints took a few days to get done and when I ask about the heater I'm told that their mechanic for that is on vacation for two weeks. Not willing to lose my vehicle sitting in a lot somewhere for 2 weeks I went back and picked it up so I could go back to work. I live an hour from the dealership and making all these trips back and forth costs time and money that I'll never recoup. The vehicle goes back a few weeks later for another attempt at the heater, dropped off on a Sunday for a Monday appt. I texted on Tuesday for an update and was told their mechanic had an emergency and initially told they were going to have another mechanic look at it. After a few more back and forth texts I was told the mechanic's mother passed away and there was not another mechanic going to look at it. I went up to pick it up and talk to the manager and had an agreement that I would have the truck looked at by my mechanic, have him diagnose the issue and provide me with a price, I would pass the diagnosis to Platinum so their mechanic can provide them a price. If the difference between the two estimates was small enough I could decide to have it fixed by my mechanic and pay the difference, if the difference was too much then I would bring it back to them. It took a week for Platinum to get back to me on the estimate and said they have a budget of $300 for the heater core. I asked if there mechanic was saying he could replace it for $300, as my mechanic stated it was over 9 hours to replace it. Almost 10 days later I get a response stating of the $1600+ estimate for a heater core replacement from my mechanic, that they would only reimburse me $300. Now mind you, this was the very first issue that became apparent with the vehicle back in January and it is now May that they are bailing on the repair. Platinum stood by their vehicle initially, they made the needed repairs, except for the heater that is, at their cost but at my lost time of weeks from work, costing me thousands of dollars and the time to run the vehicle back to them so many times. If you are buying a vehicle from Platinum, have your mechanic check it out thoroughly and any repairs made by them also checked by your mechanic as my mechanic also noted that someone had added Stop Leak in the cooling system.
