If I could give a negative star review, I would. My daughter's car was towed here after a crack in…read moreher transmission when she was driving up in the area to do a side job (we live over 3 hours away). For the first 2 weeks, he would not return any calls. FINALLY he returned a call, and his exact words..."it takes too much work to put it up on the lift to see everything to make a list for insurance. Quite honestly, I think this is above my ability". We asked to get it towed somewhere else based on that info, and he said he was going to charge us for "storage", when he wouldn't even answer our calls or return them. The insurance appraiser showed up during his working hours that are posted on Google, but he was not there. He would do ZERO work prior to any $ being sent (let me add he only takes cash or a cashiers check). So on week 3, and after we paid for a new transmission and had it sent to him...as well as a $500 cashier's check for him to start the work...he "started" the job. Very hit or miss with conversations. He hung up on my mom (the grandmother of the driver) at one point because she demanded some answers. Over 6 weeks of working on the car...it cost us/insurance over $2,100 for him to "fix" the transmission. He is only open until 4 pm M-F and it said he was open on Saturday's. We said we would be up to pick it up on Saturday and he said he is not open on Saturday's and he hasn't gotten around to fixing the hours on Google. He then said he had an event all day on Saturday. We said we'd leave at 4 to be there by 7am to meet him prior to his event. He said "no"...I like to sleep in. The best I can do is 2. He then said he could do 11. We said we thought you had a morning event. He said, ok...I can do 10. It was lie after lie after lie. When we finally determined a time, he asked for cash. We said "no" (IRS may want to look into this dude). He asked for a picture of the check and said "it may be more"...we said "no" once again (as he told us it was and additional $730 balance numerous times). When we arrived, the place looks sketch (as an understatement). My husband (the step-dad) asked if he could take it for a drive around the block to make sure things were ok and so it would make it the 3:15 hour drive home. He refused until he had the check in hand. As I was waiting for my husband return, he said to his friend, "I need to go to the bank to deposit this before they make a big purchase. Good thing I verified this with the bank to make sure they had the funds". BEYOND disrespectful (considering it already was taken from the account). He also said the car wouldn't pass PA inspection and he saw other issues that he did not fix. We honestly didn't want him to, as a 4 hour job took him over 6.5 weeks to finish. My question is, if there was so much wrong with her vehicle and it isn't all fixed yet and it is not "reliable" to drive since the accident, why did he tell insurance it was "fixable" and why didn't he total the car? Why did he take on a job he was not capable of doing in a timely manner. It cost almost $1000 in Ubers during this time for my daughter (on top of the repair costs) and God knows how much more (because we need to take it to a MD mechanic that we trust). BEYOND DISAPPOINTED AND DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN WITH ANYTHING!!!! He will be reported to BBB and will also be getting reported to the insurance commission. Worst experience ever...like being in an accident isn't traumatizing enough. This made the experience even worse. I know I left out numerous details...but am hoping to save others from this hell of an experience.

I took a chance and checked out Express as it is a new business and the owner is one of the nicest people you could meet. First impression, the shop is clean organized, and welcoming. Fresh popcorn and coffee are available for the snacking enthusiasts. The waiting room is comfortable and clean. Beyond all of that I can't rave enough about the owner, the staff, and the work they do. Clint takes the time to make sure you understand the work you need and the work you can wait on. Aside from that, across the board you wont find better pricing. Such great values for services. This shop stands behind it's work and executes to the highest standards. If you want big box professionalism while benefitting a new small business Express should be your first choice. I have never felt better about spending money on my car or the services I am receiving. From my experience the shop showed up in a big way, and if its important to you that places live their values I would agree and explain how they met that expectation for me., Honesty, Clint and his team were open and honest about the work they had to do and how long it would take. If I had a single question or was otherwise unsure about what we were talking about Clint took the time to explain and even drew up a diagram (I don't know anything about cars so I was impressed he took the time even though the shop was so busy! Integrity, while I was in the shop I watched as the team priced out parts for other customers diligently working to get the best prices when ordering parts passing on the savings to the customers. Efficiency, If you have had problems in the past with shops trying to take advantage I want to tell you how express was different. I never felt pressured or pushed into services I didn't ask for or need. The service was fast and done well. I honestly don't think I will ever need to consult another mechanic. Express has completely earned my business and deserves a chance to earn yours! Check them out!

Seriously? Well, we thought it might be the transmission because we had been experiencing some "slipping", so we tried to find one of those big-name places to take a look for us. The Aamco that showed up here on Yelp was not where the address said it was (of course) so we looked again and found Mistech in a Google search. I called to make sure they were actually there and told the gentleman on the phone what had happened. I asked if he had time to take a look and do a diagnostic. He said sure, bring it around 1:00. We showed up and the worker (Jay, I think) came over and plugged his computer into the car. A code came up that said it was the O2 sensor. Now, I had brought this car to "my guy" about three times in regards to the problem with the slipping and the light and he kept telling me it was damp wires. -__- Not only did Jay tell us what it was, he showed us the codes and then proceeded to tell us we could probably fix it ourselves. When I asked how much for the diagnostic, he said, "Nothing." We went to an Advanced Auto Parts store and got the part for $75. My husband replaced it in about five minutes and the light went off and the car suddenly runs like it did when I first got it. Mistech was honest, friendly, and helpful (said we could call later and come back if need be) all for nothing for people who didn't even live in the area! If we EVER have a real problem with our transmission, we will CERTAINLY go back!!!

We had watched the warning light stay on and then go off for a while and then come back on. We had another 340 miles to go on Monday but our son advised us not to go before getting it checked since it appeared to be the alternator and the car could stall on our way if we tried. We were expecting a snowstorm on Tuesday at home in NH so we were searching for a place that could take care of us on Monday. We settled on Key Ford as our only chance. We ended up dealing with Service Advisor, Brian Kozuck, and he indicated they would do their best to get us on the road by the end of the day. Brian kept us informed as they diagnosed the problem (it was the alternator which was bench tested and failed) and worked on replacing it. All looked like it would be finished by 5pm closing but at the last minute things were not checking out. The replacement alternator was not putting out the required amperage. It was 5pm and looking like another 2 nights at the hotel so we could drive home after the storm. Brian offered to drive me back to the hotel and we started out. About 5 minutes into the drive he got a call from his mechanic who indicated he had found that a ground wire had burnt out and they could take care of it. He thought this would take care of the problem so we turned around and went back. They continued to work, making new ground wire and putting things back together. Almost an hour and a half later (well past the 5pm closing time for the shop) the car was fixed. We were able to drive home Monday night and beat the storm that dumped 8" of snow on Tuesday. We can't thank Brian and the mechanics at Key Ford enough for working beyond closing time and helping us get home ahead of the snow!! THANK YOU BRIAN AND YOUR TEAM!!

ECM "programming" upsell factory. Brought my 2014 GMC…read moreTerrain in. Quoted ~$1,300 for ECM + install + programming after a $212 diagnostic (supposed to roll into the repair). I supplied a pre-programmed, VIN-matched ECM to keep it simple and cheap. They still tried to tack on a $200-$300 "programming" fee, claiming "your key won't work without it." Reality check: after they installed the ECM, the car started immediately with my original key. No special programming needed. When I asked for the standard GM SPS/TIS programming session log to prove anything was actually flashed, they wouldn't provide it. If programming was necessary or performed, producing that log takes 30 seconds. They couldn't--because the upsell wasn't real. Other gotchas: the diagnostic "credit" only applies if you buy their parts (not disclosed up front), and they hide behind "Global A requires SPS" as a blanket excuse to sell full reflash even when a VIN-matched module starts the car just fine. Post-install, they tried to keep the narrative going; I removed the vehicle to stop the billing creep. Bottom line: they tried to turn a $400-$600 ECM swap into $1,300 with invented "programming" and zero documentation. If you go here, demand itemized labor and the SPS session report before paying for any programming. If they can't show it, walk. I won't be back.
