TLDR: avoid this place at all costs!! Incompetent mechanics that don't know what they're doing will damage your car!! Never going back to this place!! 1. I went to replace my front struts and links early August. 2 weeks after the service I started hearing loud clunking noises while I drive. Took it back to them and Mavis said all parts were tight. Had to take it to another shop and this shop said Mavis didn't tighten the parts correctly and it became loose over time. This shop merely tightened the parts and problem solved. How ridiculous that Mavis charged $150/hr for such incompetent workmanship?? Tightening parts correctly is the BASIC skill a mechanics should have. 2. Recently discovered that they threw away my engine splash guard after an oil change late July and I requested they replace it. Yesterday after calling me in to put the new guard on, they said they had the wrong part and it didn't fit when they tried putting it on. Asked me to come back later. On my way home, I started hearing loud scraping noises. Took it back immediately and the mechanics fastened the skid plate. That DID NOT work. This morning on my way to work I still heard it and when I parked and looked underneath, this plastic part in the photo was already bent and damaged. Again, I simply don't understand how the employees here can be so incompetent?? Like they have no idea what they're doing and receive no training before getting the job. AVOID at all cost!

Ryan and his team are phenomenal! Hubby and I have been dealing with this brake issue on our truck for almost 2 months. Took it back to original mechanic 3 times with no improvement. Decided to take it to Mavis and Ryan's inspection of the new rotors and brake pads showed that the previous mechanic did a piss poor job! $1100 of wasted time and money to this previous mechanic! Ryan showed me what had been done (no grease where it should've been grease, dust from old pads, etc) AND the lug nuts were swollen and had been tightened beyond the limit. 90% of them wouldn't even come off!! I was dumbfounded!! So Ryan's team spent an hour removing the old lug nuts, cleaning the rotors and greasing where needed. After test driving it was discovered that the squealing is still present and must be something going on with the wear of the pads/rotors or something. So, we will be taking the truck back to the previous mechanic to get this matter resolved ASAP! But that's all they will be doing because needless to say, Mavis will be getting our future business.

My wheels are straight, but my steering wheel was not.

I strongly recommend anyone considering using this mechanic BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS…read more I hired him to repair a leaking pinion seal on the rear differential of my BMW. He appeared knowledgeable about the repair and explained that the driveshaft would need to be removed. I supplied the proper differential fluid myself. What I was NOT given beforehand was an agreed-upon $500 price. After completing the work, he told me I owed approximately $500. When I questioned the amount because we had never agreed to that price beforehand, he tried to get aggressive with me repeatedly started yelling, "Just pay my money!" I had to make him wait before paying him until he stopped all the hollering Later, while I was in another state, I took my BMW to an actual BMW dealership for some totally different and was informed that my rear differential was still leaking. This was the exact issue I had just paid him hundreds of dollars to repair. I contacted him immediately. He initially told me he was going to "handle it." After that, he stopped responding to me completely. Since he would not resolve the situation, I disputed the payment through my bank. After investigating the claim, my bank credited me and closed the dispute in my favor. Based on my experience, I would be extremely careful dealing with this mechanic. Get the FULL PRICE in writing before he touches your vehicle. Get exactly what work he is supposed to perform in writing. Keep your receipts, messages, pictures, and any professional inspection or diagnosis afterward. And if you pay for a repair that you believe was not properly completed and the mechanic refuses to make it right, know that you may have options through your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction. Provide them with your documentation and let them investigate it. I'm leaving this review because I wish I had researched his reviews more thoroughly before hiring him. Hopefully my experience helps someone else avoid going through the same thing. LIL DUDE A GOOFY ALL THAT WORK INA HOT SUN LIKE U SAID & YOU STILL W/O THAT 500$!!

That couldn't be further from the truth. They called me around 2 AM saying the job was complete and asked me to send the remaining balance. Just minutes later, my driver reported that the truck was shaking extremely bad. When I called them back, they told my driver to meet them about 10 miles away--only to then say there was nothing they could do. Since then, I have been calling them all morning with no answer. On top of that, my toolbox was stolen off my truck while it was in their possession. This entire experience has been unprofessional, dishonest, and unacceptable. I paid $4,000 for work that was clearly not done correctly, and now I'm left dealing with additional damage and missing property. If they do not communicate with me ASAP, I will be filing a civil suit and taking this matter to court. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere.

We got the estimate and it was ridiculous. I know how to work on cars for the most part, but since Im in Maryland I was kind of stuck either paying the ridiculous prices or going to fix it myself 6 hours away. Justin agreed to do the work for an extremely reasonable and fair price, and did it the same day. I ordered the part from the local auto store and he picked it up and put it in withing an hour or so. He sent me videos of what he was doing as well as constant updates along the way. There is NO REASON to find anyone else to work on this car for me anymore, as I know he knows what hes doing and is reliable and reasonably priced. Very Satisfied

I was glad to see my MotorCoach was rolling on Michelin Tires when I made the purchase, in my…read moreopinion the Michelin brand has always been synonymous with quality and are the market leaders. When I was looking to purchase a spare tire being these big rigs come without one) I certainly couldn't settle for anything less than what came on my rig. After speaking with a number of my fellow RVers who's opinions differ than mine, being it's just a spare and there are much cheaper options and it's likely that once you get to a service center you can have the original tire with the issue repaired or replaced so a spare is just a spare so save some money - to each his own I guess my mind doesn't work like that. I'll carry this tire unmounted being I would never attempt to change a tire of this size anyways, for one I don't have the equipment to do the work even if I wanted too and this spare tire can be mounted on any axel by the roadside assistance technician. This 275/80R 22.5 weighs about 114 pound off the rim and is about 40" in diameter and holds up to 120 psi (pounds per square inch) of compressed air, I run about 36 psi in my Jeep tires, these big rig tires requirement a professional. These tire aren't inexpensive but it's all relative - with Michelin's 700,000 mile or 7 year tread warranty it likely these tires will date code out long before they show much wear, at least in this application. There are lots of options out there but in my experience these guys are the industry's leader so I'll save my money and when it come time to replace all of my rig's tires I'll ante up and buy these again - for me it's all about trust, confidence and most importantly it's about safety and I'm not prepared to put a price on that...
