I told the attendents at the store that I had to leave the vehicle overnight, left them my number. Husband told me Janda was good. I called and spoke with Jim. He was actually nice. As a chick, I am not used to nice auto dealers. Usually the are patronising or annoyed. I'm sure its my lack of term knowledge. Either way, Jim was nice and helpful. He quoted the max price of what sounded like the problem over the phone. He recommended a very reasonable tow company (Big Al's), and called me when the the car was done. I had my car back the same day. Janda has the parts in house and the price was 1/3 of the quote. SO Great!!!!!!!

I was visiting Chattanooga from out of state and while driving my car started making some noises in…read morethe engine compartment. I was extremely annoyed because I really dont know anyone in the area and dont know any mechanics. I looked at 5 mechanics and when I called 3 answered but no one could get me in until a couple days except Rivermont. It was my 2nd choice overall since it was out of the way from the hotel I was staying at, but I managed to limp the car over there with a combination of throttling and letting it coast. I let the guys know that I needed the car back ASAP and they had it ready at the end of the same day. Turns out it was a sensor or something like that causing knocking and hesitation. They diagnosed, got the part and fixed it all within 5 hours. I picked it up before rush hour and made it back to hotel and continued my stay in Chattanooga. I don't remember the guys name, but I think he was the owner of teh shop. He was 100% honest with me about what was wrong, he didnt try to upsell me crap I didnt need like other shops do where I live. Since I was from out of town he could have easily taken advantage of my situation and tried to overcharge or screw me, but he has integrity, honesty and respects people and their hard earned dollars. Not just a good mechanic , a good man. He just found out what was wrong and fixed it. I wish I could find an honest shop like this back where I live. I would have them do all maintenance on my vehicles and any repair. Hands down I would go here again, if you are looking for HONEST and TRUSTWORTHY mechanics this is your shop. Thanks guys for being kind to an out of towner and making it to where I could continue to enjoy Chattanooga with minimal interruption.

Then I brought the car to Paul at North Shore Auto Collision, he quoted me a tenth of their price, reaffixed the fog light which needed to be clipped back in and pointed out that all the little scrapes were under the bumper which would not be visible, so I saved on paint. He was pleasant, polite and professional. The work was completed in a just a few hours and my car was good as new, they even removed some of the scuffs which was very nice of them.

I visited Highland Tire and Auto Service on Hixson Pike on Thursday, August 20, because I was…read morehaving trouble with my car air conditioner. When I came in, I was immediately served (which I know is a rarity at busy car repair places). Jeremy Mayweather and the team looked over my car and found that the AC compressor relay needed replacing, so they quickly switched that out. He and his team took care of me, and even did a complimentary check/top of off my fluids. They were incredibly patient and kind, and it seems like my AC is now working properly. I know there are a lot of people out there who try to take advantage of customers, and I so appreciated the job that their team did, especially in the precarious time of COVID. I teach public relations and spend a lot of time telling my students about the value of good employees to represent a company. Their employees, especially Jeremy, were incredible brand ambassadors and have earned my future business. I look forward to working with them all again for all my car maintenance needs.

Charged $330.90 for a simple 'heater hose replacement' I was stranded without a choice, use to be a…read moregood shop, not anymore! I called the second they opened, said bays are clear get you right in, car ready at 11.30 that is not my biggest issue, the bill is, and telling me how long and difficult finding a leaking heater hose when steam was spewing out and water pouring from the hose that I pointed at??? Despite an upfront, exact diagnosis of a visible fluid leak, the facility conducted billing practices that violate standard market rates: 1. Duplicated Labor Charges: The invoice shows a clear double-charge for a single repair. I was billed $87.50 for "Labor - Cooling System" and an additional $105.00 for "Labor - Heating & Cooling." Billing separate labor lines totaling $192.50 to replace a single, standard heater hose is a flagrant duplication of labor hours. 2.Exorbitant Parts Markup: The facility billed $72.99 for a standard molded rubber heater hose. The local retail price for this exact component down the street at O'Reilly Auto Parts is $35.00. Knowing corporate commercial wholesale pricing dictates a shop cost of under $20.00, a markup to $72.99 represents predatory price-gouging targeting a stranded customer who had no safe option to drive elsewhere. 3. Deceptive Staff Explanations: When I questioned the final $330.90 total, the service manager verbally claimed it took an excessive amount of time to "figure out which hose it was due to the complexity of the engine bay." This explanation is fraudulent. A pressurized cooling system leak requires zero extensive diagnostic time to locate visually. Furthermore, local competitors within the immediate Hixson area (including JAK-D Automotive on Hixson Pike) quote the exact same heater hose replacement, parts, coolant, and labor at $170.00 total 4.Plaza Tire Service used my emergency breakdown to pad their labor logs and double the price of basic retail materials, inflating a standard $170.00 job to $330.90.

It was slow, and I didn't really begin to notice it until I had to drive to Memphis in May with my fans only blowing hot air. So I bought a fan and a sunshade, grit my teeth, and kept driving. It was fine... for about a month. Then June rolled around and I couldn't do it anymore. I started looking for someone that could repair it and stumbled across this shop. I went to their website - great reviews, and they even specialize in Toyotas... bingo! I made the appointment and came in on my day off. They performed a test, found out my condenser had a hole in it, ordered the part, and repaired it all in the same day! I spent less than 4 hours when I was fully prepared to have to come back another day. They were incredibly nice and easy to understand, and I felt comfortable leaving my car with the shop. There was a small coffee bar, clean bathrooms, and a comfortable waiting room. The mechanic working on my car even drove me to the nearby McDonald's while they were waiting for the part to come in so I could grab some breakfast. Overall, he made the originally daunting experience much simpler and more pleasant than I expected. It's been about a week since I got it fixed, and my AC is still as cold as ice. I had no idea how bad it had gotten until it was working properly again. I'll definitely be stopping by again for my 80k mile service!
