Unlike the review before me, this person in no way shape or form occurs as a hothead or a person that would talk down or inappropriately to anyone.

After learning the neighboring business couldn't fix it, I showed up to swap my wheels myself as the car was not drivable. I had mistakenly had the car dropped 2 spaces to far over, putting myself just barely in front of Vern's business. He came outside and flipped out, telling me it "isn't your personal f***** workspace". If he treats random people this way, I can only imagine how poorly he treats his customers.

After calling several places, Nordgren impressed me with their clear upfront explanations for what they'd be doing and how much it'd cost. When I brought my car in, they confirmed the earlier pricing and then let me know that it'd be done by the end of the day, which it was. They also suggested some other service items, but didn't try to hard-sell me on anything. It's been a couple weeks and the brakes have been fine and my car runs great. I'll be bringing my car back here in the future for more service.

Their staff is so fast but, most importantly, not pushy about getting your car in and out for more customers which has been my experience at other repair places. They find the problem (or all the problems if you ignore the little squeaks and rattles your car makes for way too long), send a list of what they can fix, and you select what you want to be fixed at that time. All at your timing. Nordgren is affordable and convenient and will definitely be having myself and my family as customers for a long time. I highly recommend their fast and honest service!

Well....... I was a customer of "Walt's Garage" for 30…read moreyears. Loved those guys; fair, honest, frugal---spent MY money as though it were theirs. When ARVU took over the property, I very much looked forward to establishing a relationship with them. However, so far, they are nothing like Tom and the boys at Walt's. What should have been a $400+ repair blossomed into a $950 tab. Mostly it was because of a 'diagnosis' charge. Walt's used to charge the diagnosis if work was not performed, but waived it if work was performed. In this case, ARVU maintained the charge........and added a SECOND charge. Therefore, I was charged $172.50 TWICE. That's $350 not even counting the work. When I questioned it, no equivocation or negotiation. Then, when I wrote two emails with concern, NO answer back. Not cool. Not sure how everyone else feels about this, but I find it difficult to ever patronize them again.

I have a 17 yr old vehicle thats rear left brake caliper was sticking. Upon further inspection, the…read morerear left brake pad had worn down to the metal because of the sticking caliper. So I brought it here to get repaired. The good: They do an inspection with photos and put it online for you to see. The service writer was patient and helpful in figuring out what work to get done and was upfront about costs. They offer free loaner cars, which I did not use. The are ASE certified mechanics. The bad: The original inspection addressed everything else they wanted to replace and did not address what caused the sticking caliper - the reason I was there. They did go back and look at it though once I asked, and said the pins probably rusted. They wanted to replace a strut, front brakes and rear brakes, secure a heat shield better, degrease the engine to pinpoint a leak, and do an oil change. It's good to know about that stuff but the rear left brake was the pressing issue. Was originally quoted $1,175 to replace just the rear brakes: new calipers, new rotors, new pads on both the rear left and rear right (but not the front.) The car is only worth $1500, it's a Scion/Toyota not a Mercedes or BMW and it's old. I had been quoted $850 to do all that somewhere else with 3 yr warranty, new parts etc. So I asked what's the minimum they could do to get all 4 brakes working and they said they could replace just the rear left caliper and rear left brake pads for $450. The brake pads come in sets for both rear wheels but the mechanic wouldn't put the rear pads on the right side because he wouldn't work with the rear right caliper - it's too old and rusty, might break (though I would've taken that risk.) He would want to replace it instead. Well if I replaced every old rusty part of my car that still works I'd have a new car, and they charge $300+ to put a new caliper in. And they don't machine resurface rotors even if they're thick enough to. They said they want to warranty the rotors for 3 years instead. Well my car might not last another 3 years. So I chose the $450 option. When I picked it up they gave me the breakdown of the work: $192 for a remanufactured caliper sold at NAPA a few blocks away from the shop for less than $100. $50 for brake pads sold at NAPA for $25. $178 for the labor to install a new caliper and pads on just the rear left wheel. The brakes vibrate because they don't resurface rotors. They gave me the extra set of brake pads that came in the box they wouldn't put on the right side without replacing the caliper. I see a lot of good reviews here but nobody is saying what they paid. And they don't want to work with old rusty parts, just replace them all. Maybe that's typical, but 4 or 5 stars would be going above typical. And the shop is only open until 5pm. It took a week to get me in. All that said, this isn't a negative review. I'm just saying this may be a small, honest family owned shop in Corcoran with just a few mechanics and service people, but it isn't a thrifty one. Far from it. But I do now know all the work my car needs done in the near future and how to tackle it with a more thrifty shop and a probably a parts dealer/service locator like Tirerack.

They were honest about an error in research they made, and made it up for me in ways I never expected a car shop to do. Being a woman, it's tricky finding an honest shop. But the owner takes care of my car like it's his own daughters and it's so refreshing. I'll bring my car only to them from now on. I needed them to look at my axle before driving to the east coast the next day, they found that I needed a repair and pushed my car to the front of the line so I didn't drive it across the country in disrepair.
