I had the timing belt, water pump, and antifreeze replaced on my Honda today. The price was fair,…read morethe service was fast and best of all they were honest. I was not asked to purchase any additional items and after asking advice on future maintenance I was given a straight answer and quick estimates. I recommend Playground Auto Service as they were hundreds of dollars cheaper compared to the dealership and much more friendly. There are no appointments either, just drive right up and they will take it from there. Replacing a timing belt and water pump is a big job on a Honda and they were able to knock it out in about 5 hours.

After a few days machenic George advised would not be worth fixing & what issue was. Well after charging my son over $420 dollars & towing car back. It was discovered they tore out door runner, under desk & steering wheel area & because he choose not to spend well over a $1,000 plus they did not put it back together. I contacted play ground & spoke to George. First everybody who answer phone was rude & George was a cry baby. I explained my son was only 19 & they took advantage of him. Also find out that play ground charges to put your vehicle bAck together after they tear it all apart & get upset if you choose not to let them fix it. Was suppose to be put back to original state. I would not recommend them, they try to blame customers, take advantage of young adults & I'm sure would do it to women also . Nothing more then another greedy & unethical local business.

I recently bought a 2009 Smart Fortwo Passion Cabrio (convertible) as a beach car for my wife and…read moreme. I called Steinhardt Imports in Valparaiso, spoke with the owner, John, and scheduled an oil change. Chris, the mechanic and John's son, took care of it on the spot and at a fair price. I also had a yellow warning light on. It turned out to be a tire-pressure sensor issue. A previous dealer had set the computer to 26 psi front and 26 psi rear, even though the door sticker called for 26 front and 32 rear. Chris recalibrated it correctly and walked me through everything he was doing. That kind of transparency builds trust. Two days later, John called about a Mercedes-Benz safety recall on the car: #2018060010, Smart Fortwo Model 451, 2008-2009, requiring replacement of the damping in the rear engine compartment. Because Smart cars have not been sold in the U.S. since 2017, he was told a free recall repair was unlikely. He quoted about $400. I said I would schedule soon do to the fact my wife was traveling. Several days later, John called again. He had spent hours over three days, unpaid, looking for a better answer. He found that Mercedes-Benz of Jacksonville, a former authorized Smart dealer that still works on these cars, could perform the recall at no cost. I cannot think of many shops that would ever invest that kind of time just to save a customer money. I told John I used to own many German cars over 15-years in Los Angeles before moving to Florida and that I never used dealerships because of the cost. He laughed and told me about a BMW customer who recently came in after a dealer quoted him $4,000 to replace an oil pan. Once the car was on the lift, they cleaned the pan and found a loose bolt that only needed a turn with a torque wrench. That customer avoided a $4,000 bill. John and Chris treated me with honesty, integrity, and respect. That is rare. If you own an import, skip the dealer markup and take it to Steinhardt Imports.

John and Chris got my active handling sorted, fixed my AC and buttoned up a few fluid leaks for 1/2 what I had read was possible. They will honestly let you know what needs replacing and your full range of options. If you want reliable and honest work, check out Stinehardt. The dealership may be faster, but you will pay 2-3x for it.

He does the work requested to correct the issue and also brings up anything else that may need attention for future reference. Would highly recommend.
