They are always genuinely concerned for the well-being of the customers. They take pride in what they do and it shows in the work that they provide for their customers and their vehicles. I would recommend them to anybody 100%. They are good Christian people. I Love them. I consider them

They kept my car for about a week, and during that time I had to spend a significant amount of money on Ubers and Lyfts because I had no vehicle. I was repeatedly told they were waiting on a part that hadn't arrived. Eventually, they called to say my car was finished. I paid approximately $2,000 and was waiting for them to bring my car around. After about 20 minutes, they came back and told me they actually needed to order another part but I could drive my car for now. The check engine light was still on. It took about another week for that part to arrive. Then I was told it would cost around another $2,000. At that point, I tried to work out some kind of solution or discount with them because of everything that happened. As of the time I'm writing this review, I have not received a response despite attempts to follow up. What disappointed me most was the communication throughout the process. Being told my car was finished, paying for the repair, and then finding out more repair parts were needed. Combined with the delays, additional transportation costs, and the lack of follow-up afterward, this was not the level of service I expected. This review reflects my personal experience. I hope the shop is able to improve its communication and customer service going forward.

    WARNING: Avoid This Shop - Dishonest, Incompetent, and Costly…read moreRating: (0/5 Stars if I could) Do not trust Bob, the owner of this shop. He presents himself as an honest, family-oriented Christian man, but his business practices are entirely deceptive. I ended up spending $600 with him for repairs that never actually happened, plus hundreds more in towing, rentals, Ubers, and hotel fees. The First "Repair" (1 Week, $350) I left my car with Bob for a whole week to fix a piston rethreading issue. When I picked it up, the check engine light was still on. Bob assured me it would go away the next day. It didn't. On my way to work, the piston popped right back out and the engine started rattling again. The Second "Repair" (4 Weeks, $250) I brought the car back and it sat there for four weeks with absolutely no timeline, just a string of weekly excuses: Week 1: Claims the parts shop didn't have the right part. Week 2: Claims they sent the wrong part. Week 3: Bob left early for his daughter's rehearsal instead of having a mechanic stay to receive the part and finish the job. Because of his selfishness, I missed my Memorial Day weekend trip to see my son. Week 4: I arrived and the car still wasn't ready. The "Fix" and Gross Negligence When he finally "worked" on it, he didn't even open the head gasket. All he did was put a little bit of glue, rethread the piston, and made me wait for two hours in his moldy shop while it sat. Within two hours of leaving, the piston popped again and the engine was rattling. To make matters worse, Bob told me it was "perfectly fine to drive the car running on only two cylinders." When I finally got the car to a real mechanic back home, they laughed in disbelief and told me the car could have literally caught on fire if I had listened to Bob. The Reality & Financial Damage Paid Bob: $600 total ($350 the first time for a 1-day fix; $250 the second time for a 1-hour fix). Extra Expenses: Uber rides to work, gas money for coworkers helping me out, a rental vehicle, tow trucks, and multiple hotel stays because I was stranded away from home. The Resolution: A real mechanic took off the head gasket, re-soldered, re-drilled, and tapped it correctly. It took them 5 days (not a whole month), and the car now runs perfectly with zero check engine lights. Message to IES and Meta Technicians I previously recommended Bob to all my coworkers at IES. I am officially taking that back: stay far away from this shop unless you just need a parking lot. If you are a Meta technician, do not bring your vehicle here. He will overcharge you, hold your car hostage, ignore your texts when you ask for a well-deserved refund, and lie to your face every week. There is nothing Christian about lying, stealing people's money for unfinished work, and leaving them stranded without a care for how they get home to their families. Do not trust this man.
