    Thank you card
    Rick C.

    How often do you find a business that truly cares about their customers, go above and beyond to help them out in an emergency and take the time to send you a 'Thank You' card after they've completed the work. That is exactly what Marty and his staff at Moonlight Motors do everyday and did I mention they do exceptional work too... they do! Thank you Marty and your team, you are all stars!!

We've been…read morecoming to Julio and his family for a few years now for our everyday cars and once to rebuild our family's classic car. He did a quick preliminary diagnosis and gave me a fair quote for the alternator parts and labor. A few hours later, instead of just doing the expensive repair, he called me and explained that the alternator was actually fine -- the real problem was a wire that was shorting out and causing the symptoms. The repair ended up costing significantly less than expected because they were honest enough to fix the actual issue instead of replacing parts I didn't need. I also had them change the fluids and filters while it was there. He said it looked like my spark plugs needed changing as well. Everything was completed quickly and professionally. It's hard to find shops that are this honest and transparent these days. Highly recommend Total Care Transmissions for their integrity, communication, and quality work.

    OVERCHARGING - I brought my 2005 Jeep Wrangler here as a new customer to replace the driver-side…read moreseatbelt buckle. I supplied the part myself because Jeep no longer makes it, and I asked for an estimate for labor only. I was quoted $480 and was explicitly told this was a high estimate and that the final cost would likely be lower unless the job turned out to be unusually difficult. This repair is very straightforward and, based on standard repair information and widely available tutorials, should take about one hour. This is not a complex or labor-intensive process. There are four bolts to remove the seat and one other bolt to remove the receptacle for the seatbelt. When I picked up my car, I was charged the full $480 with no explanation. The invoice did not include an itemized breakdown of labor hours, labor rate, or how the charge was calculated. After I questioned the charge and pointed out that this is typically a one-hour job, they reduced the price by $50, bringing it to $430, which is still extremely high for this type of work. They later offered $100 off as store credit if I brought my car back, but I'm not comfortable returning, since my concern is being overcharged in the first place. This shop had an opportunity to fix the issue by issuing a fair refund, and they chose not to. I was hoping this would be an honest, reliable shop for all of my future repairs, but they have lost my business. If you're a woman, I'd recommend coming here with a man so you're not overcharged based on assumptions. After reading other reviews, I noticed that another woman described a very similar experience of being overcharged, which makes this feel like a pattern rather than a one-off mistake. I left feeling like I was taken advantage of. Once I pushed back, the cost suddenly dropped, though still not to a reasonable amount. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop. Transparency and fair labor practices matter.

EDIT #1: This truck passed the smog check in December, 2024, for a title transfer. This shop failed the smog check because there were no CARB EO numbers, but in order for the truck to have passed last time, those numbers had to have been on the catalytic converters. If they couldn't find the numbers it was either because there was dirt obscuring them or because the numbers were positioned so that a mirror (which all shops have) could display them. Once we get the truck checked again, I'm going to file a complaint with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. EDIT #2: Now that I think about it, this guy should never have run the smog check and charged us if he couldn't see CARB EO numbers. I'm filing a CBAR complaint right now. EDIT #3: California Bureau of Automotive Repair complaint number 661D-5NXDZV has been filed.
