I went in for two separate items, an emissions service that popped up on my dash and some…read morerattling/noise coming from my AC compressor. The customer service, specifically from Cody, was below subpar. He was rude, came off condescending and argumentative. Jay on the other hand, he was a pleasure to deal with. Personable and professional. They initially were going to charge for the diagnostic they had ran the day I dropped off the car, where it clearly stated that it was a thermostat reading in the second page, not just the code that pops up on the first page shown in the diagnostic device. When I mentioned this, Cody stated the "college kid" does not know what he was talking about, and that the diagnostic tool only gave a code reading, despite my standing beside the technician and it clearly read the thermostat. Jay was courteous on the phone when I called after they initially texted my quote for the items asked, along with suggestions from a general inspection. He was professional and accommodating and removed the ~$270 to diagnose the thermostat reading since the diagnostic the day prior was accurate. I was charged $91.38 specifically to diagnose the issue with the noise concern coming from my ac compressor, which still persists after picking up my vehicle. I noticed it the moment i turned my car on when picking it up and let Cody know, as he was standing in the bay of the shop. They did not resolve the issue, and my car is now having a difficult time shifting from first to second gear with the AC running, with the sound increasing with the RPMs, only decreasing in noise once the shift is complete, jolting while trying to engage. It also shakes when Idling with the AC on and is emitting a funky smell along with white smoke coming from my driver side vent for about 1-2 minutes. They claim on the paper work the temperature outlet got down to 43 degrees - the air blowing now is hot with AC on. They charge an additional $237.21 to service my AC system. They did inform me that the noise could be due to early signs of compressor failure. Essentially, they charged me $237 just to add Freon and check the system for leaks, plus the $91 for a diagnostic for a man issue unresolved or identified. I would not go back here. Precision or Tedious Repairs is worth the extra cost to ensure proper and professional service. Overall, they charged me $634.07 to fix the thermostat, the ac diagnostic and ac systems service. I now have a much larger issue at hand.

Quality mechanics. Stand by their work with "Affordable" prices…read more Jim's a good man -highly recommend!
