Worst mechanic experience I've ever had!! I brought my 2008 Honda Fit to this shop for a…read moretransmission swap. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely frustrating and left me with a damaged vehicle and significant out-of-pocket costs. I was originally told I would have my car back around 5 PM. Instead, I didn't get the car back until around 9 PM. When I picked it up, James the owner told me that the transmission fill bolt had not been properly tightened. During first test drive. and transmission fluid leaked out, he explained and then I got car back but I was also missing the transmission dipstick And had no idea. I drove approximately 40 miles home before realizing there was a serious problem. I ultimately had to have the vehicle towed back using my own AAA coverage. When I brought the car back, the missing dipstick was initially discounted as being the cause of the problem. I was then given an explanation involving another bolt that, according to the shop, had apparently been overlooked. My concern was that if that bolt had actually been loose and allowing transmission fluid to escape, there should have been evidence of that fluid loss at the time. When I picked up the vehicle that night, there was also a liquor bottle sitting next to the computer in the work area. I cannot say whether anyone had been drinking, so I'm not going to make that accusation, but given that my vehicle was being worked on and was returned several hours later than promised, it was concerning to see. Ultimately, I was only given $150 back. I was left with a transmission that had experienced problems after the installation, additional expenses, and the responsibility of getting the vehicle back to a condition I could trust. My biggest issue is that when something went wrong with work performed on my vehicle, I expected the shop to take responsibility and make it right. I don't feel that happened here. I'm posting this review because I want other owners and anyone considering a transmission replacement or for James to work on there car to know exactly what happened in my experience. I strongly recommend documenting everything, asking questions about the work performed, and thoroughly inspecting the vehicle before leaving the shop.

I booked this appointment two days in advance for 1:30 pm wheel alignment had & dropped my car off early at 12:36 pm in case they could start sooner without expectations. From 1 pm till 2:47pm car sat in the parking lot untouched. Around 2 pm someone came over to offer coffee n' water & said thanks for your patience, we've had a tough day, but gave me no timeline. Whenn't even started yet, that I finally went to ask how much longer I was told the it alone takes about an hour, so I was looking at another hour on top of the two I'd already waited and hour from the appointment time. When I raised my concern, the front desk staff told me the appointment time isn't when service starts, it's just your drop-off time. That's not stated anywhere on their website or when booking. After more than two hours with no proactive updates I chose to leave & book with another shop. To the shop: this would've been a completely different experience if someone had simply told me up front that you were running behind & given me the choice to wait or reschedule. I would have rescheduled if that option had been offered honestly & early. Please train your team to flag delays proactively & add a note when booking that appointment times are drop-off windows. That one change would fix everything that went wrong here.

They denied this but my husband being knowledgeable about landscaping asked why there was so much drit like someone went to Lowes or home Depot and picked up either a bunch of plants or soil, found foot prints on the INSIDE of the windshield on the front passenger side like someone was having a good old time, there was oil all over the top of the oil cover, soil threw out the whole car You know i expected a little bit of drit from getting in and out off the car but didnt expect the car needing a full detailed work AGAIN when I brought it in I ONLY had it LESS THAN A WEEK and it was super clean maybe a mico amount of drit from getting in and out of it but #1) I never went and got soil or plants to have that much drit in the trunk #2) I never gave then permission to enter my car and pull out the car seat I was supposed too have gone and get it which I expressed #3) there was no foot prints on the inside of the windshield I would have noticed it since I wipe it down every other day #4) they order the parts and without informing you about the mistake and let it SIT for 2weeks fully knowing it takes 2weeks to get the part to come in so when you call thinking you car is done on time to find out its gonna be another 2-3weeks and then not also informing you that the part is delayed then by 'magic' it shows up the next day Over all if I could i would leave a -5 review They really dropped the ball And ill never come back This happened back in end of February 2026 it took me so long to leave a review because I was so pissed off, distort and had to get it properly cleaned which took longer than it should because thats how bad they left my car It even looked like they loaned my car out and if they did thats illegal They shouldn't have done personal earns and called it "drive test" when I asked where the car is and that I want to look at it and not leaving till after we tested ourselves because at that point we where so done and just wanted to car back (it went from trying to get help to being a total nightmare) they kept saying "it be back in about an hr or so" which translates to "Someone has the car and is doing personal errands with it and they will be back when there back" we waited over an hr had to come back the next day A drive test shouldn't have taken no more than 30mins to an hr not 4hrs not come back tomorrow afternoon my dad did a drive test and was back within 30-40mins THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMERS AND WILL LIE

I live 1,000 miles away, so I couldn't be there -- but this family-run shop went above and beyond.

Despite being promised it would be covered under warranty, they completely changed the terms without authorization. ​The first clutch job cost $977. For the warranty repair, they "refunded" $933 for parts but then tacked on over $800 in unauthorized labor charges. They waited 2 months just to diagnose the car as needing a fork replacement--never mentioning a clutch. They waited another month to order the part, then replaced the clutch anyway and billed us. They even wrote a page-long narrative into the invoice to try and cover their tracks, and refused to provide part numbers or let us inspect the replaced parts. ​Communication was non-existent; they called my son exactly twice in 4 months.
