Aluminum coolant connector
Jihoon A.

I have a 2016 BMW 340i and I have been taking it to Eric for all modifications, repairs, and services. I can certainly vouch for Eric's extensive knowledge, transparent service, clean work process and quality of work after taking my car to do the following modifications, repair and service: - M Performance Big Brake Kit, Stoptech Stainless lines. - VAC Motorsports Monoball upper and lower control arms. - M Performance LSD install. - Active Autowerke downpipe. - Rolls Performance full underbody brace kit. - 034 Motorsports LSD and rear subframe inserts. - Oil Filter Housing replacement with Aluminum. - Coolant connector replacement with Aluminum. - Oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, coolant vacuum fill. - Wheel, TPMS and tire change. If you buy the parts and bring them to him, he will install them with care. If certain parts do not fit, or need extra work to make it fit, he will send you pictures and let you know what can be done. Prices are competitive. It is hard to find a good honest shop, especially these days with smaller ones having poor work quality and the popular large shops feeling too much like a 'factory', Mind Automotive is the perfect place to get top quality and personalized service for your baby!

(I'm a very busy person taking care of my dad who is going through stroke recovery and other things I do all on my own. So the fact I let the car go that bad is sort of embarrassing) I took my 2017 Hyundai Elantra to a repair shop close to my home because the car would stop in the middle of the road. They were unable to find out what was wrong and said everything was fine. Sure they got a wheel alignment done and some tires, but I knew that everything wasn't fine. I then went to the dealership thinking that would be best, and they also couldn't figure out what was wrong with the car. I then took my car to Mind Automotive and Tires and Eric was able to figure out what was wrong with the car in 5 minutes or less. They repaired the car and the car was working smoothly again. They pretty much saved the car before other damages would have taken place, if not caught in a timely manner. I am very happy about the repair work of the team there and would recommend anyone to this auto repair shop, to save the hassle of time and money. Thank you so much for your help. I am truly appreciative

Got into car accident. Had to replace my whole trunk and get paint job done. Eric and his team made it to a brand new car again! Eric is always busy because they do phenomenal jobs fixing cars so make sure to make appt before going!!

Puncture of my tire.

Best mechanic ever! This is my favorite place for my cars. I replaced tires, get oil change, check tire pressure, repair tire puncture and installing a hitch. All the works were perfect and the cost is reasonable.

MIND automotive was referred to me by me friend because i was looking for a new shop at the time. It was october of 2020 when I first took my 2013 honda civic for an oil change. Eric is such a cool guy and very knowledgeable and serious about his craft. He even checked everything just to see what was needed to be done to my car. I came back sometime later and brought my wife's car, a 2015 mazda3 for an oil change as well. And today I ordered new set of Hankook Ventus v12 evo2 tires. Balanced and mounted. Very Happy customer right here. Good price and good service! Highly recommended.

These guys are the real deal. Over the course of around half a year I was doing steady upgrades to…read moremy s2000 to make it look more like a Club Racer version. I took this car to this body shop twice for both upgrades; one for the bumper and lip and the other for the trunk and wing. Galaxy Auto Haus did a great job for all aspects of the upgrade, from paint matching to panel fitment. I really can't tell that the paint on the bumper, trunk, and body are not from the same painting run; the color match on these panels is that good. Pricing was pretty fair and Honorio was very meticulous when it came to getting all of the details right. If I have another kind of project for a car like this, I know that these guys will get it done right.

If not you'll have to deal with your car being out almost 3 months just for their horrible paint job to show up 3 years later and you get a sassy response from the owners son that you should get your car detailed more often even though the only affected area is the one that was worked on by them ! Remember yall it's easier to deal with your insurance and future repairs if it ends up being faulty if you go with the recommended repair shop from your insurance , I regret choosing this place because of the good reviews that were bought off discounting the deductible . I will never return back here and let them have hands on my car EVEEERRRRR (yelling) Not even 5 years late and the clearly horrible work they did to my car along with horrible customer service shows exactly how they run their business , they charged my insurance company what I remember over 15k for this work ?? . The paint is only peeling on the side they worked on , getting rusty , and that side is also poppinng off . The rest of my car is fine except for that one part they did SO MUCH work on . They left an obvious lasting negative impression on me and my car !!!!!

I got a few quotes before deciding to bring my 2014 Prius Plug-in here, and I'm really glad I did…read more They weren't the cheapest and they weren't the most expensive, but I felt like they charged what they needed to in order to get the job done I had no idea they even worked on hybrids because I never saw that mentioned anywhere, and I think more people should know. They took the time to explain the repair, confirmed the diagnostic code, and even pointed out a few things I should do to help my Prius last longer. They noticed my hybrid battery cooling fan was missing after I told them I just had it "replaced" at another shop. That's the kind of information you don't usually get from a repair shop. They ended up not needing to drop the subframe, so they adjusted the labor instead of charging me for work they didn't have to do. It still took the amount of time they said it was going to take, but still discounted me a little bit which I thought was cool. I also had them do an oil change while it was there, and even that was less expensive than what I normally pay at places like Jiffy Lube or Valvoline. If you own a Prius or any hybrid, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. More than anything, I left feeling like they genuinely know these cars and took the time to educate me, not just fix it. I'll definitely be bringing my Prius back if I ever need anything else.

I got a second opinion and found out a tensioner in the timing chain had broke, and that was it, they rebuilt the timing system and I'm back on the road for less than $2000. I wouldn't trust them to change my oil.

Bumper Buddies is a solid mobile wheel repair shop. I imagine they offer more services but for me…read morethey repaired to wheels that had been damaged by potholes and curbs. Their tech Esteban did an amazing job and was great and communicating throughout. The wheels came out looking brand new In very please with the final result. The owner Vic stands behind his companies work and is a very reputable and straight forward. There was an issue with Toyota and their warranty and rather than harass or get angry with me they completed the job to perfection. I can't say enough about the integrity of this business and Esteban the tech was 2nd to none. If you need to use Bumper Buddies for and repairs you should choose them without hesitation!

This photo was what I submitted when requesting a mobile repair quote, and the damage is centered…read moreon the reflector itself, along with dents above and below it. The repair quote I received did not specifically exclude the reflector repair, and it included a charge for "additional materials." Because of that, I reasonably believed the visible reflector damage was included as part of the repair. When I called the office before making the appointment, they didn't tell me that the reflector itself will not be fixed. When the technician arrived, he informed me that they could only repair the dents above and below the reflector, and that the damaged reflector itself was not included. When I called Bumper Buddies for clarification, I was told that because I, as the customer, did not specifically request reflector repair, it was not included in the quote even though the dents directly above and below the reflector were included. As a customer, I relied on professionals' expertise to evaluate the photos and provide an accurate estimate. If a major visible part of the damage was not included, that should have been communicated with the customer or clearly stated in the quote rather than assumed to be excluded. It's not unreasonable for customer to expect the communication of "hey, I see your reflector was also damaged, but we cannot fix the reflector itself, but we can fix the dent above and below it". The repair quote may have matched their internal interpretation of the estimate, but it did not match a customer's reasonable expectation based on the photos submitted. During my follow-up call with Nick, he repeatedly stated that it's a "communication error" and the quote did not include reflector replacement because I had not specifically requested it. That explanation raised even more concerns for me. As a customer, I relied on their expertise to identify and quote the visible damage shown in the photos. I should not be expected to name every individual damaged part or anticipate every technical detail in order to receive an accurate quote. If I had the professional knowledge to identify every repair item myself, I likely would not have needed their service in the first place. That is exactly why I turned to them for an estimate. Based on this experience, I would not feel confident on any future estimates from them unless every single item is spelled out in writing beforehand.
