It is always scary when your car stops working the way its supposed to and at least for me the…read morescariest part is not knowing if its going to be $50 or $5000 to fix whatever is wrong. This was the first repair that was needed outside of my warranty and outside of VW. These guys were honest and straightforward about what was wrong and the cost and the recommendations they provided. They were responsive and communicated to me about the timeline in which it would be completed, when the part was delayed a day, they made sure I knew and I never had to call them for an update. Stress of a broken down car was as minimal as it could be and I will definitely return as the need arises. Thanks so much!!!

This is one of the first negative reviews I've ever written for a business, and I'm doing so after…read moremuch careful consideration because although I feel truly wronged, I dont want to make trouble for anyone. That said, having just made the first of many credit card payments for work I never would have had done given the full scope of what my vehicle needed, I feel compelled to prevent this from happening to anyone else. While the actual work done here seems fairly competent, the diagnostic process seems about as accurate as playing darts blindfolded. I brought my car in because it was creaking misfiring, and the check engine light was on. I told them that I believed my engine mounts were worn out and that I also needed a diagnoses for the misfiring. They told me that the cause for the misfiring was likely that my spark plugs and ignition coils were worn out, because that usually happens around 100k miles and my vehicle was past that. I agreed to have them replaced along with new engine mounts, to the tune of $2,600. I was told that after this my vehicle would be like a totally different car. The very next day, my car misfired again and the check engine light came back on. When I brought it back, they informed me that they don't have any way of knowing this fo sure, but I probably actually had a blown head gasket. I brought my car to a different mechanic shop who did a full and complete diagnostic from bumper to bumper and took photos of everything wrong with the car- from a blown head gasket to a leaking transmission to almost completely worn wheel bushings and a host of other problems totaling over $8,200 in addition to the $2,600 I had already paid at Red Rock Auto. Had I known this in the first place, I never would have paid $2,600 on a doomed old van that needed almost $11,000 in work done. I had to buy a new van and that $2,600 would have really helped with the down payment. I'm tempted to say that I feel duped, but I don't think there was any malice or fraud going on- just general laziness or incompetence in the diagnostic process that very negatively affected me.

Why didn't I find Mike Palmer Automotive sooner?? I brought my car here after my current shop was…read moremaking obvious rookie mistakes with repairs to my car. Jessy was so kind and communicative. He broke it to me that the car required more repairs than it was worth, and that my current shop was not doing a good job at maintaining my car. Maybe he felt bad for me, maybe he wanted to make a show of good faith, but he didn't even charge me for the diagnostic in that instance. I ended up selling that car for scrap and eventually buying a new car. I brought the new car in for a pre-purchase inspection and WOW, Jessy and his team really showed their true colors on how thorough they are! They checked absolutely everything. They even checked the cabin air filter because he told me that a rodent had built a nest in it. They found things that other shops had missed. Is there such a thing as being too thorough? Jessy might be! But I'd rather have my auto shop be extremely thorough and triple check everything rather than be sloppy and miss things. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality is obvious, right down to how they require appointments for their shop. They want to make sure that every single car gets the attention it needs. I can't recommend Mike Palmer enough and even though I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, I will make the trek to come back here for my auto repairs and recommend them to all my friends. Jessy is a truly honest mechanic who just wants to help you do your best to maintain your car. How do I know? They're not trying to make money nickel and diming you on easy fixes. He could have fixed the cabin air filter for me without asking and taken the easy win but instead he said, that's an easy fix and I easily figured out how to replace it on my own. He wasn't bothered by the fact that I wanted to change my own oil either. Jessy is your true ally in keeping your car running in tip top condition the best way possible.

It hasn't ran at all since then, obviously because i've been rebuilding it. tried starting it, and it was throwing electrical codes, and it's a crank no start. at this point im just looking for a second opinion. so we towed my truck to this place to get it looked at, ONLY needed the electrical stuff checked. before the truck got there, i called them, expecting them to ask a few questions atleast, but all they asked was the model of the truck and what was wrong. day or so goes by, i call for an update and they say they would've rejected me if they knew what was done to the truck, (but they didn't ask any questions??) and that they had no idea what they're looking at. the owner was a nice guy, good attitude, but the mechanic who was looking at my truck? terrible attitude. questioning me, and testing my knowledge on MY OWN TRUCK. considering i took the entire motor apart and put it back together with my own bare hands, im pretty sure i know what im talking about. moral of the story, if you have a modified vehicle or anything aftermarket at that, do not go here.

At first it was difficult to get on their schedule (which I believe is a good sign for an auto repair specialist). Recently I had been to a local mechanic who did not put the correct oil in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. After driving a couple thousand miles, I decided to get on the schedule at Cole's to have them look things over and change the oil again. Also, I had an annoying check engine light that would come on and then go off right before I was able to get in to have it checked. This time the light was still on at the time of my appointment. I dropped my car off when they first opened at 9:30 am. I heard from them again around lunch time after they were able to run the diagnostics and change the oil. One thing I love about Cole's is they will send you a text with a link to a report. The report includes their necessary and recommended services based on the diagnostics and it includes relevant pictures so you can see for yourself what is being discussed. They found my check engine issue and my car was ready to pick up the same day. A couple months down the road, they sent me a follow up text reminding me of some of the recommendations that I didn't have done before. I had them replace my rear suspension which was noticeably warn while driving. Again, I was in and out the same day. With each visit I have felt their pricing to be more than fair and did not feel pressured to do anything they recommended. On my way out I was explained their warranty which I thought was nice, but hoped I wouldn't need it. The next day I started hearing some noises in the rear suspension that were not there before they worked on it. I called and got back on the schedule. They could not replicate the sound I was hearing at first so I went back in and went on a drive with Brandon. A few yards outside of their parking lot the sound came back and Brandon agreed it was not right. They ordered a new replacement strut for me, got me back in a day or two later and fixed the sound under warranty for me. I don't know of any other auto repair place in town that offers that kind of service and peace of mind. I will be back for sure and I will not hesitate to recommend Cole's to my friends and family.

I met Cole as a friend of a friend so when it was time to do a major maintenance on my car I…read morefigured I would give him my business. I was blown away by the actual service. After giving them the long list of things I wanted done they gave the car a full inspection before starting any service. They emailed me a breakdown of everything that needed to be done with pictures and explanations on why. After the work began they didn't quite have it finished by the end of the day as they had estimated. I wasn't surprised considering they were changing the timing belt, flushing all fluids, doing a tune up, plus some other stuff. It was a ton of work. They ended up staying late and extra hour and a half to finish the car that night. Sadly, I was unable to pick it up that late and had to wait until the next day anyway. The cost is right in line with what I expected. But I don't want cheap, if it's cheap they're taking shortcuts or trying to scam you. I also don't want to pay a premium. I think Cole's has hit the right balance. I'm very impressed with the overall service and will be going back.
