    The name is appropriate they were honest about what they recommended and didn't attempt to inflate the bill with unnecessary probing.

    My mechanic recommended these guys several years ago for tire service. They are simply the best. I…read morewill never buy tires from the big name stores or clubs ever again. Jake and his team provide competitive pricing, great workmanship and excellent customer service. No up selling. No pressure. Just honest service. Today my wife got a flat on the way home around lunchtime. A screw very close to the sidewall. Not repairable. A quick look at the other tires. She needs all four. So I called Freedman and spoke with Tony. He provided a competitve quote when I asked when could she bring the car in, he said anytime. Today is good. She got there around 1:30 and was on her way home about an hour later. Doesnt get any better than that. Wife super happy. Me too. Happy wife, happy life!

    DO NOT GO HERE. I dropped off my car with a check engine…read morelight on. I had already done a diagnosis myself for free at AutoZone and even supplied Freedman with the printout of the diagnostic. He joked that he'd have it done in one hour on a Saturday -- which they close at 1:00, something he did not tell me. I left and called two hours later to check on my car. He said he wouldn't have time to work on it today and asked if I could walk there because "it should be time enough since they close in 20 minutes." I rushed over. He said I owed $80 and that it would go toward my final bill for the "diagnosis." I paid, and we made an agreement that I'd drop my car off the next week. He promised it would only take a short time. I let him know I needed the car for work and that I'd be using a family member's car in the meantime. He once again joked about how easy of a fix it would be and told me not to worry -- it would be done before the week was out (this was Thursday). I dropped the car off. Saturday came, and the car still had not been fixed. I let them know I had to come get it. When I arrived, I asked if I owe anything? They responded, "Nothing, today." They asked me to bring the car back the following week because they were waiting on a part. I never brought the car back because I was displeased with the constant joking about how fast it would be, yet no work was done besides the "diagnostic" -- which I had already supplied to them upon arrival, and paid for. I am still driving around with a check engine light on, and they continue to bill me OVER $300. FOR WHAT?? When I call, they constantly say "they're busy right now and can't talk." My family has used them for many years, and I was told to go here. They have witnessed what Jake and his team of scammers have tried to pull on me. He will not be receiving any of our business again, and I hope people take this as a warning. If you want to get scammed and still have a broken car, this is your place.

    RSW Euro - This was the ACTUAL issue (hole in the low-temp radiator). Not the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and high-temp expansion tank...

    RSW Euro

    (42 reviews)

    RSW Sets the Standard for European Auto Repair…read more I can't say enough great things about RSW! They did an outstanding job repairing my BMW -- truly first-class service from start to finish. The entire team is attentive, professional, and quick to respond. Derek kept me updated every step of the way with clear, thorough communication and accurate estimates (no surprises, which I really appreciated). Their guest lounge is also the nicest I've ever experienced at any auto repair shop -- spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. RSW sets the bar high for quality, integrity, and customer care. Highly recommend them to any European car owner!

    Horrible, awful experience with RSW! This is a long review, but I wanted to provide enough details…read moreto show how bad of a business this is. I went in for an AC fix (no cold air). I told them upfront that I had already recharged the refrigerant. They charged me $400 to diagnose the AC issue by vacuuming and recharging the refrigerant, despite me telling them I had already done so. Their "master technician" said that the AC compressor had melted on the inside, and that I needed the compressor, condenser, and evaporator all replaced for almost $5000. They said they also found a coolant leak, and replaced the coolant expansion tank for the high-temperature circuit. After replacing that expansion tank, they say they ran a pressure test, which showed a new leak that is, and I quote, "gushing coolant". They wanted to charge $1600 now to replace the radiator. I tell them not to do any more work (they had only recharged the AC system and replaced the coolant expansion tank at this point), and that I would be taking the car home as-is. I was warned that I "wouldn't be able to make it down the road without overheating and potentially destroying my engine". They made me sign an "unsafe vehicle" waiver. I turned the car on, saw no leak, and drove home just fine. The temperature did not deviate from normal. At home, I saw that not only was the high-temp expansion tank full of coolant, but they overfilled it. I drained it to the appropriate level, ran the car for a bit, and again found no temperature issues. However, I noticed the low-temp expansion tank had no coolant in it. I filled it, then saw coolant leaking from the low-temp radiator and where the coolant hose meets the expansion tank. I took both expansion tanks out, and re-installed. This fixed the leak between the expansion tank and the connecting tube (obviously didn't fix the leak in the low-temp radiator). I replaced the low-temp radiator myself, which resulted in the low-temp coolant circuit now holding coolant properly. Tada, my AC works perfectly! Turns out that when the low-temp coolant circuit runs dry, the compressor won't turn on (to protect itself). To put the cherry on top, I did a pressure test on the high-temp expansion tank that they replaced (I made sure to get the replaced part back). It did not leak, meaning it never needed to be replaced at all. So to recap, I paid $1300 for them to replace a completely functional part, recharge a just-charged AC line, and not solve anything. Meanwhile, they tried to charge me an additional $6300+ to replace the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and high-temperature radiator, when in reality, NONE of those parts where faulty. All of the above is purely fact-based. The following is my analysis. It seems there are two possibilities: either they repeatedly failed to correctly diagnose and address the issues, opting instead to replace parts indiscriminately, or they deliberately attempted to exploit the situation for financial gain. Here are things that just don't add up: - How did they come to the conclusion that my compressor was broken, and destroyed the entirety of the AC system with it? (it hadn't) - Why did they replace parts in the high-temp coolant system, which had zero relation to the AC system and low-temp coolant circuit? - I believe when they replaced the high-temp expansion tank, they pulled on the low-temp expansion tank connecting tube, which created an additional leak (I fixed by just re-attaching). - Why did they believe there was an issue with the high-temp coolant circuit to begin with? Anybody with two eyes would be able to open the high-temp expansion tank cap, and see it was full and not decreasing. - If they replaced the high-temp expansion tank and then ran a pressure test, how did that result in a pressure-induced leak in the low-temp radiator? Those systems aren't connected. All I can say is that I would never, ever give RSW my business again. I attached a picture of the overfilled high-temp coolant tank, and the hole in the low-temp radiator.
