It still wasn't ready even though in stock, so my husband complained and the guy said well it's July 4th weekend as if that was an excuse. Then I went over to talk to them 4 days early August 13 because I needed my inspection done and I needed a new tire and wanted to make sure they ordered it before I came for my inspection. I even told the guy about what happened to my husband earlier and how rude the guy was before. So I wait 4 days, go to trouble to drop my car off, get my husband to drive me and I get a call that they forgot to order the tire 4 days ago. Let's say I was not happy. When I went to get my car back the older gray haired guy wouldn't even listen to my complaint. I've been taking whatever car I owned there for 15 years. Something major has changed there and they don't care to apologize ever and they are not thorough. Their whole attitude is different. I will never go back there again.

It was great actually dealing with a business who really stresses personal customer service. Apart from business, he was truly a great person to talk with.

If you want a true professional who provides great customer service, Mr, Berrys business is the place to be.

My car had a whole bunch of other issues that was never addressed to me, and went ahead to do mini fixes that ended up making it worse. For example after I got it back my motor mounts started to go (they already were) but they tightened the bolts so much to try and keep my engine from shaking it ended up tearing the metal away effecting the other side. I dumped 700 dollars just for my car to get more problems and not even know about it. They were nice but I would rather know the truth than someone to be nice to me. Don't go here just because you hear good things, it's a waste of money and I wish I knew better by listening to the reviews about this place. Note: I have a German car, not sure how well they work on American cars like Fords but it's better to take your foreign car to somewhere in VA.

AVOID THIS SHOP! Extremely dangerous work, hidden fees, and unprofessional behavior…read more I brought my 1997 Suzuki Marauder 800 to Mannkaniks Automotive & Towing for carburetor repair. They kept my bike for over 45 days and charged me $613.28--over $80 more than the originally agreed estimate of $528 without my authorization. When I picked up the bike, it was completely unrideable and extremely unsafe: 1. Stuck Throttle: The accelerator jammed completely open while riding, creating a massive safety hazard. The mechanic tried to excuse it by falsely claiming my 1997 bike had "cruise control" (it does not). 2. Active Fuel Leak: A severe gasoline leak was dripping directly onto the hot engine from the carburetors, posing an immediate fire hazard. 3. Unjustified Charges: They charged extra for shop supplies and fuel without providing any purchase receipts for parts or gas. When I confronted the mechanic on-site and refused to sign the delivery invoice due to these dangerous defects, he became aggressive. He even admitted in text messages that the throttle was sticking and wrote textually, "I've done all I can do." I had to tow my motorcycle home for safety, and a certified diagnostic at another repair shop confirmed the active fuel leak and dangerous throttle issue. Instead of taking responsibility, the owner has resorted to harassing me for cash after I filed a bank dispute. Take your vehicle elsewhere if you value your safety and money!

I had 3 vehicles…read morewith them and they have been doing the maintenance on my company vehicles. 3 of my vehicles have been in their yard for weeks with no parts ordered and nothing started to repair. These vehicles are company vehicles and very important that they be repaired in a responible amount of time. This morning i had a 4th vehicle go down and dropped it off at Kelly's. I waited around for someone to show up as they open at 8am. Kelly showed up and i began to tell him what was wrong with the 4th vehicle. I then started to ask when the other vehicles were going to be completed as i needed them to do work. He stated it will be several weeks before he could even look at them. Now remember they have already been sitting onsite for several weeks at this time. So i mentioned if he still wanted to do my work. At this time Kelly blow up and started cussing at me and screaming to get my sh@# out of his car lot. He charged me $1,000.00 to tear down a truck that i drove into his shop that i now have to pay to have towed off his lot. 1 of my vans gas tanks was crushed from when he put it on the lift wrong and doesnt want to take responiblity for it. He said he replaced the motor mounts on one of my other vans which is a lie as they have not been replaced, but i paid him for this. I paid him to fix the fan on one of my vans and it still does not work. I will be taken Kelly to court once i get all this information together and find out everything he was supposed to fix and didnt.

The main technician there that day, Paul, was able to fit me in at the time I requested, fairly late in the day. When I arrived, he was very professional and courteous. He had one of the mechanics there immediately start work on my car. The mechanic was fairly young, but clearly took pride in his work. Although it was past the time he was supposed to be off, he took his time and made sure he did it right. He also checked the tire pressure, at my request. An oil change is not that big of a deal and it is not a glamorous set-up at their shop, but I had a very good experience with them, which is more important to me than anything. I recommend trying their services, if you need work done on your car.
