Communication throughout the process was poor, and I often felt like I had to keep following up just to get basic information about my car. What made the experience worse was the customer service. When I asked reasonable questions about the cost and timeline, the staff was not helpful and came across as rude and dismissive. If you decide to use this shop, make sure you get every price, repair item, and estimated completion date in writing before authorizing anything.

I clearly told them I would buy all the parts myself, including the lower ball joints, oil, and oil filter, and I did. I was only paying for labor. When I arrived, the price was changed and I was told it would be $250, even though that was not what we agreed on. I understand prices can go up or down, but once a price is agreed on, especially after I canceled a different auto body shop, it should be honored. I also have an audio record of the original conversation. The person who did my oil change was very nice and professional, and I appreciate that. However, changing the price after an agreement was disappointing. I came here based on good reviews and recommendations. Keeping your word matters if you want returning customers.

The next day, they called me saying they fixed the radiator, but there was an internal leaking issue that the mechanic couldn't figure out and that I should immediately go trade in the car before the engine fails. He gave me zero plausible or any technical explanation for what the origin of the issue was and added another 100 dollars to my service fee. I decided to take my car to a mechanic who is more accustomed to dealing with Subarus with the incredibly vague explanation I received from the mechanic rather than go sell or trade in the car because one person told me he can't fix it. The next day, I received an actual explanation of what the issue was, which was a cross contamination issue with the coolant and engine oil that can happen with the specific engine that Subarus are equipped with and he was able to give me an actual quote to fix the issue rather than telling me to trade in or sell the car. Furthermore, he said that changing the radiator should have only cost me a couple hundred dollars max and that the issue with the engine could have been prevented if I went to an experienced mechanic in the first place! I was overcharged by more than double the actual price of parts and service and literally told to go trade in the car after paying $880 dollars, which I had to haggle down from $900 after the price increased overnight. Please don't come here for any repairs as they are not qualified to provide proper service, yet will overcharge you without any agreement. The mechanic also demanded cash only or he would charge me even more with a credit card, which was extremely inconsiderate of the customer's financial situation in a tough economy. 차를 수리하러 왔다가 비싸봐야 3-400불 (다른곳에 350이면 충분하다고 하였습니다) 하는 서비스에 900 불 뜯어내면서 차를 고치지 못했고 무슨 이슈인지 전혀 모르겠으니까 임시적으로 굴러다닐때 빨리 다른 차로 바꾸라는 황당한 답변 받았습니다. 무책임 한 일처리가 더 화가 나는지 무능력한 수리이후 나몰라하는 태도가 더 화가 나는지 모르겠는데 엄청나게 큰 금액을 지불하고 또 다시 큰 금액내면서 다시 수리를 맞겨야하는 다른 피해자 생길까봐 리뷰를 남깁니다. 이것만 해도 너무 화가나는데 카드는 안된다고 현금 결재를 요구하였습니다. 다른 피해자 생기지 않도록 제 경험을 올리니 제발 다른곳을 알아보세요.

However, I took my car "that I've always taken to the dealer for an oil change" here. And the next day it was leaking oil everywhere. Unfortunately, I wasn't in town to bring it right away, and had to bring it back to the shop about 2 weeks later . (Still leaking btw) they said it was the "gasKeT" and I would have to pay another $48 to get this repaired. They said I should have brought it the day after i got the oil changed. Later after all the back and forth they offered to cover the costs for labor ,but I would have to pay for the part. Which was $3. I did not expect for them to charge me at all considering i had returned literally about 2 weeks later. (And called them over the phone twice to advise what was going on" They said i was "taking advantage" and told me god was watching. They said there was no way of knowing the part was damaged or defective . In my opinion they should have checked the gasket while doing the oil change . I ended up paying $10 which I didn't feel was fair but; at least they could pay off their $3 part they replaced. Next day after the lecture and "repair" ITS LEAKING AGAIN! haaaahahah now I have to go to the dealer and figure out what they broke on my car. I'm glad I didn't pay the $48 the second time around considering I came in with a car that was perfectly fine and left with a leaking car .

Pretty sure I just got gaslighted…read more I brought my 2019 Honda HR-V here for a simple oil change last week, and within a week, part of my splash guard was hanging off. I brought the car back today because I'm fairly certain the panel was not fastened properly after the oil change. This has actually happened to me before at a Honda dealership about two years ago. The same splash guard started hanging within a week of an oil change, and the dealership repaired it. So I don't think it's a coincidence that the same thing happened again shortly after having my oil changed. I originally wanted to give this place a shot because they have so many good reviews. The oil change itself was very efficient, probably the most efficient oil change I've ever had, and everyone I interacted with was nice. Unfortunately, that efficiency may have come at the expense of properly securing the splash guard. When I brought the car back today, I was told that the panel came loose because I must have "hit a bump," and that they don't need to open or remove the panel to access the oil filter. I'm not a mechanic, so I don't claim to know more about cars than they do. However, everything I've found regarding the 2019 Honda HR-V indicates that the lower engine splash shield/undercover panel needs to be loosened or removed to access the oil filter and drain plug during an oil change. Given the timing and the fact that this happened previously after an oil change, I would have appreciated at least having the undercarriage inspected before being told it was unrelated. What was most frustrating is that they didn't take responsibility or even inspect the underside of the car to see what damage may have occurred from me driving with the panel hanging down. I was essentially sent on my way and told to find a body shop to fix it myself. I understand that things can happen during service, but I would have appreciated honesty and an effort to actually investigate the issue rather than immediately attributing it to me hitting a bump. For now, I've had to secure the panel myself with some small zip ties (pictured) just to keep it from dragging until I can find somewhere to repair it.
