They determined that would take a few days to fix it and to fit it into their schedule between other customers. They saved me by giving me a loaner car which was so much appreciated since I don't know anyone in the area who could help out. I really like how they would call and update me daily and sent pictures on the issues and descriptions in an email. I don't know about you but I can never remember when they rattle off a bunch of issues. It was nice to be able to reference back to that email. The price was also reasonable. I would recommend them. They were also humble enough to point out that they don't have alignment available right now but recommended another shop. That speaks volumes. Very helpful front counter person as well.

I'm midway through a complete MGB restoration, and have been working with BMC to incorporate a…read more3.4L GM V6 into the project. The knowledge base and experience that Brian brings to this effort is truly amazing. BMC has developed many of the specialized parts for this conversion, which is really essential to getting to the endpoint- a serious performance improvement over the rather lame 4 cyl this car came with originally. ( all 75 hp!) BMC is responsive and extremely helpful, they've done this before, and know what works best. Per their suggestion, I'm using a 1995 Camaro 3.4L, with sequential fuel injection, and a T5 trans. They've developed electrical and mechanical solutions for virtually every aspect of this project.

Both vehicles are back on the road with all the issues worked out. I highly recommend A&W Auto Repair and will use them again when needed!!!

I have a 17 yr old vehicle thats rear left brake caliper was sticking. Upon further inspection, the…read morerear left brake pad had worn down to the metal because of the sticking caliper. So I brought it here to get repaired. The good: They do an inspection with photos and put it online for you to see. The service writer was patient and helpful in figuring out what work to get done and was upfront about costs. They offer free loaner cars, which I did not use. The are ASE certified mechanics. The bad: The original inspection addressed everything else they wanted to replace and did not address what caused the sticking caliper - the reason I was there. They did go back and look at it though once I asked, and said the pins probably rusted. They wanted to replace a strut, front brakes and rear brakes, secure a heat shield better, degrease the engine to pinpoint a leak, and do an oil change. It's good to know about that stuff but the rear left brake was the pressing issue. Was originally quoted $1,175 to replace just the rear brakes: new calipers, new rotors, new pads on both the rear left and rear right (but not the front.) The car is only worth $1500, it's a Scion/Toyota not a Mercedes or BMW and it's old. I had been quoted $850 to do all that somewhere else with 3 yr warranty, new parts etc. So I asked what's the minimum they could do to get all 4 brakes working and they said they could replace just the rear left caliper and rear left brake pads for $450. The brake pads come in sets for both rear wheels but the mechanic wouldn't put the rear pads on the right side because he wouldn't work with the rear right caliper - it's too old and rusty, might break (though I would've taken that risk.) He would want to replace it instead. Well if I replaced every old rusty part of my car that still works I'd have a new car, and they charge $300+ to put a new caliper in. And they don't machine resurface rotors even if they're thick enough to. They said they want to warranty the rotors for 3 years instead. Well my car might not last another 3 years. So I chose the $450 option. When I picked it up they gave me the breakdown of the work: $192 for a remanufactured caliper sold at NAPA a few blocks away from the shop for less than $100. $50 for brake pads sold at NAPA for $25. $178 for the labor to install a new caliper and pads on just the rear left wheel. The brakes vibrate because they don't resurface rotors. They gave me the extra set of brake pads that came in the box they wouldn't put on the right side without replacing the caliper. I see a lot of good reviews here but nobody is saying what they paid. And they don't want to work with old rusty parts, just replace them all. Maybe that's typical, but 4 or 5 stars would be going above typical. And the shop is only open until 5pm. It took a week to get me in. All that said, this isn't a negative review. I'm just saying this may be a small, honest family owned shop in Corcoran with just a few mechanics and service people, but it isn't a thrifty one. Far from it. But I do now know all the work my car needs done in the near future and how to tackle it with a more thrifty shop and a probably a parts dealer/service locator like Tirerack.
