    Brake light off before me stepping on it.
    Kenneth B.

    Careful with your uber inspections here. I recently had service done at a dealership but they couldn't do my uber inspection. Uber recommended this location and the front desk person was very nice, but the tech who reviewed my vehicle stated I had a drivers side brake light out, and no tread on one tire. I let the technician know I just drove my vehicle last night and my tail lights work. He just goes yeah and gives me a smug look. As I leave I decide to check what he stated, and I have tread on my tire which Toyota also showed my tread on paperwork and can be seen if you walk up to it, and my drivers side brake light works. I even showed the front desk that my lights work. Becareful of the technicians here. Photo shows me with my foot on and off the brake and my light turns on.

    When did the policy change and they no longer offer free car wash ? I was told new owner?

    Hi Frances, thank you so much for your inquiry. We had some issues with the Free Car wash because some people did not want a car wash and felt like they should be paying less if they don't get one. We have now lowered our prices on the oil changes…

    Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this business. My…read moredaughter brought her 2015 Honda Civic here for a second opinion regarding a warning light on her dashboard. The estimate she received was extremely overpriced (they later called her back and reduced the quote) but even after lowering it, their price was still about $200 MORE than the first estimate she had received elsewhere. What happened when she went to pick up her car is what really upset me. She arrived approximately 15 minutes before closing, and her car was completely dead. ALL the warning lights on the dashboard came on, and the steering wheel was completely locked. When she went back to ask them for help (10m before closing time), conveniently, they had already closed and the doors were locked. We returned the next morning to ask what had happened. They completely denied any responsibility and told us that because the part was already going bad, maybe it just happened to fail at that exact time. Suspicious? Absolutely. What frustrated me even more was their complete lack of concern. They didn't offer to check the car to see what had happened. They didn't show concern, They didn't suggest alternatives or even make an effort to keep our business. Instead, they just kept aggressively repeating that the part was already going bad and was going to stop working anyway! We ended up having to TOW her vehicle from their shop! What happened to loyal, honest, trustworthy mechanics who actually care about their customers? It is incredibly frustrating to feel that people who don't know a lot about cars, especially women can be taken advantage of or simply dismissed when they question something. I cannot say exactly what happened to my daughter's car while it was at this shop, but I can say that it was extremely disappointing how this situation was handled by this company and how little effort was made to help us. We will definitely NOT be returning to this shop, and I will NOT recommend this business to my friends or family. BE AWARE and ask questions before approving any work or estimates.

Even though I have kept up with the proper maintenance service for its transmission it began to fail at 145K miles. I did the 3X3 fluid changes, cleaned all solenoid screens, cleaned and tested all solenoids and replaced pressure switches. I have also replaced the external spin on transmission filter. There is an internal filter that cannot be replaced unless the transmission is taken down and disassembled. I did my research 2 years ago for the eventual replacement of my original transmission. H&A came up, with some reviews here and from the Acurazine forum that I follow. Those guys recommend the AV6 swap, which also worked. I was more interested in keeping an all parts original car. I contacted H&A directly to get more information about the remanufacturing process. Andrea and Debbie from customer service provided me information on highly rated installer near me. I also spoke to Freddie who is the shop foreman. He answered my questions regarding clutch pack materials, the oil jet cooler that was installed in the 2004 recall. He went on to explain the machining process, and the addition of a metal sleeve on the case. They also agreed to use my original core which I preferred. H&A picked up my core, and delivered the remanufactured unit a few days later. I had Acura of Glendale do the take down and re-installation. Everything went as planned. On schedule, and no surprises. I had them replace the 2 transmission mounts and the rear main seal as well. The car drives as I remember it when new! All the shift point are spot on. The grip on each gear was firm. No leaks. I had the service manager take pictures of the remanufactured unit prior to install. It was clean. I can actually see all the pen markings on the bolt heads, meaning those were properly torqued. I wish I can add those pictures to this post. It has been 3 months since the repair. We have taken the car on long road trips out of town. I am confident to drive it anywhere. We are so happy with the outcome. Kudos to H&A for a job well done. Albert
