They declared the car a loss as the amount of repairs were more that the car was worth. So I called Viking Auto Electric and Air after reading others positive reviews. They were very helpful and listened as I explained the situation. They asked me to have the car brought to their facitily and they would perform a diagnostic on the car and determine which essential components needed repaired. I was pleasently surprised, but also upset with our insurance company and their repair company. The only main item that needed repaired were the clutch fan and front cooling fans. Not the radiator, AC compressor and several other expensive parts. They were able to install a replacement clutch fan quickly and get the car back to him right away. They also told us which other parts should be replaced and helped source used parts to keep my sons repair costs lower. I would highly recommend them as an honest shop that will also work with you to help keep your repair costs low and not spend money you do not need to.

They called and told me that I needed a replacement evaporator coil and that was behind the dashboard and that would be $2000. I was hesitant and really needed help from family if I was going to pay that. We agreed to it, because, Florida gets hot. Believe me I get it, but I have to question going in there for the first time and this happens. I've been screwed over too many times with my cars to trust anyone. While I do appreciate that they were that thorough if that really needed to be done, and now I have a working AC. There's scratches on my stereo/GPS screen that I know were not there before I took it in. That could however be bad memory but I know I didn't do it.

I struggled with writing this review due to everyone being so nice here but, it is best for…read moreeveryone to read and make their own judgement. My truck was driving loose so I figured the tie rods needed to be replaced. I called up on a Monday, they said they were busy but, to bring my truck in on Tuesday and they would be able to finish the work on Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday afternoon , and no call. I didn't worry too much about it because they were slammed with cars. I received a call on Wednesday stating that the tie rods did need replacing and I have a defective tire that was "out of round". No problem, I informed them to go ahead and fix it. They told me it would be finished Thursday afternoon. Thursday mid day comes around and now I receive another call stating that I need to replace the hubs/bearings on both tires and my estimate climbed from under $700 originally to $1,600. (Now, the crazy part is... that I have to drive by the shop everyday / multiple times and my truck never moved an inch! I can tell you , they never looked at it!!!) I informed them that I would come and pick up my truck due to this and take it to a master mechanic for another opinion. My new mechanic called me up and informed me that it only needed tie rods and my tire was not defective and my hubs/bearings were in great shape. I called up and they were apologetic and couldn't even justify why this happened. Unfortunately, I would not trust this business at all.

Needless to say after they replaced said pads and rotors the brakes continued to squeal. They suggested it would go away "shortly after driving a bit", but if not, they'd return and "oil them". When the squealing continued "after a bit", I contacted them again and heard nothing back. I tried again and was told they'd been sick, but promised to stop by that evening. They never showed. I contacted them again, but did not receive the courtesy of a response. Now I question the money I paid that did not solve the problem and their lack of responsiveness or accountability for stopping my brakes from squealing and following through with what they promised to do to make it right.

I had a good overall experience here after a vehicle breakdown, which is never a fun time…read more I used AAA to have my high-mileage crossover SUV towed on a Friday night after the steering locked up and the vehicle wouldn't start. I suspected the alternator due to those and other issues. This RPM Automotive (owned by Pep Boys) was nearby and listed on the AAA site, so I went with it -- and had had an OK experience at this location many years ago. I called that Friday night and left a message explaining what had happened and what I'd noticed. The next morning (a Saturday morning), I got an automated text with a link to a site saying that someone had been assigned to begin servicing my vehicle. I still hadn't heard anything by that afternoon, so I gave the shop a call. The man who answered the phone told me that no one would be working on my vehicle until Monday, which I sort of understood but would have appreciated being told about. Monday rolled around, and before 8 AM, I got a text inviting me to go to a website and view my vehicle inspection report. I looked it over and saw that the alternator was listed as the issue and also observing that I had a caution light on my dashboard on (which I knew about but am glad to see was observed). However, a few things that I knew were minor existing issues with my vehicle weren't mentioned, and I'd have expected them to come up on any report. But again, they were minor. I didn't see any updates or receive a phone call for a couple hours, so I called the shop. Someone answered the phone and I explained I was looking to see if an update and quote were available for my vehicle. He put me on hold and another man picked up. That man asked why I was calling, I explained, and then he was silent for about 15 seconds. He then asked rather rudely if I had even brought my car in yet, to which I paused for a moment because I couldn't figure out how the response to "My car was diagnosed with an alternator issue there this morning, so I'm calling to find out when it'll be ready and what the cost estimate is" was "Well, is your car here?" And I'm always a bit concerned when someone who has my car doesn't know that they have my car, y'know? Anyway, he paused again and eventually told me that the inspection wasn't even done yet and that someone would call me. So I thanked him and hung up. About 45 minutes later, I got a call from a lovely woman who discussed the vehicle inspection findings, gave me the price, and told me my car would be ready that day. She proactively noted that I'd be getting a discount as a AAA member, too -- huge points to any business that gives the discounts they claim without you having to ask for it. I got a text three hours later that my vehicle was ready (earlier than expected, yay!) and went to pick it up a bit after that. The gentleman at the front desk was also friendly, and payment was quick and simple. The price wasn't cheap, but as someone who always researches the upper and lower ranges for automotive parts and labor, I found the cost to be smack dab in the middle of those two ends, which I was OK with. My vehicle is running without any of the major issues I encountered, I don't feel like I was lied to or take advantage of, and there was no attempt to add in unnecessary stuff. Outside of a few missed communication opportunities and one unpleasant phone call, things were nice, smooth, and fast, leaving me to have RPM Automotive on my list of shops I'll consider in the future.
