    Final Alignment

    I chose this shop after specifically researching alignment providers with experience working on modified suspension setups, not just stock vehicles. My truck is a 2007 Toyota Tundra equipped with a 2" Niight leveling kit, 33×12.50 Toyo Open Country tires, and factory upper control arms, and I wanted the alignment to reflect those changes rather than default factory settings. At the initial visit, the alignment corrected toe and brought the truck within factory specification ranges. After reviewing the alignment report at home, I realized the setup reflected a baseline OEM alignment rather than one optimized for a leveled truck with oversized tires. I raised my concerns, specifically around caster not being fully optimized for straight-line stability and steering return-to-center. To the shop's credit, management immediately acknowledged the issue, made it clear that high volume is not an excuse, and offered a warranty alignment overseen by the service manager. Communication was prompt, professional, and respectful throughout. At the follow-up visit, the alignment was corrected properly. Caster was increased and balanced side-to-side, camber was set near neutral, and front toe was tightened to a conservative, near-neutral setting appropriate for a leveled truck on 33" tires. The final result is a setup-aware alignment, not just a "green-range" factory correction, and the difference is noticeable. The truck now tracks straight at highway speeds, steering return-to-center is significantly improved, and overall driving feel is exactly what I expected for this configuration. Bottom line: Mistakes can happen, but how a shop handles them matters. This shop owned the issue, corrected it properly, and followed through. I'd confidently recommend them--especially for customers with lifted or leveled vehicles--just be clear about your expectations so the alignment can be tailored to your setup.

    This is my first time to have my car smogged at My Auto Surgeon, it was an overall great experience. -First, this was my first time of really using Yelps project app which sends out several request for quotes on your project. These guys responded quickly and with the price that was standard for the industry. Even told me timeslots that were available that day. It was fast easy to understand so I booked it with them as they had great reviews on Yelp. The thing that struck me the most in the reviews was the manager's responses to customer, concerns or issues, there was compassion and an effort to make it correct. This I have not seen in a lot of the other Smog place that I usually go to so I switched. -Second, was the courteous way in which I was treated by Cameron, front office manager. This is very rare, but you can tell he cares about his job and their company reputation. I even today received a follow up text to make sure everything was OK with my car. -Third, I was very impressed with their waiting room. Typical car places don't spend a lot of time or money in their waiting area. I took some pictures so you can see small but very well laid out and decorated nicely. Also didn't take pictures of this, but the bathrooms which are out in the shop are clean and decorated nicely. Hats off to the decorating person ! Highly recommend this shop and I will be coming back here in the future!

    How much for synthetic oil change? Thx

    May 2024. On-line appointment quote was $88 for my Honda CRV. I got a discount, out the door bill was $66.

    Do you offer new tire installation, and if so how much for 4 tires installed on a 2010 Honda Civic? Thanks-

    Hello James, unfortunately we do not service or replace wheels and tires. We do perform alignments to extend the life of tread wear on tires. We recommend America’s Tire for any wheel or tire needs!

    Do you guys do smogs? How much would it be for a 2003 ford crown Victoria?

    Smog checks are $48.84 with certificate. No pass no pay! European and Diesel vehicle come out to $68.80

    What would be the cost to do a front end alignment for a Honda 2019 Pilot?

    I think it's $99.

Phong, the manager, went above and beyond from the very first phone call. He gave me a incredibly thorough over-the-phone assessment for a basic service and an AC Freon adjustment (something the dealership had never even recommended in the 11 years I've owned the car). In person, Phong was just as engaging, warm, and professional as he was on the phone. The final price came out just slightly over the estimate because they caught another small issue, but Phong took the time to explain exactly what they did and walked through all of his recommendations. Most importantly, Phong noticed that all four of my tires had dangerous cracks on the sidewalls from running into curbs during tight turns, and warned me they could blow out at any moment. I truly believe his sharp eye and honest recommendation saved my life! I already have an appointment at Costco this Saturday to get them replaced. The camaraderie with other customers, the thorough breakdown of my receipt, and the incredibly reasonable pricing make them stand out. Thank you, Phong and team, for the life-saving and excellent service!

The morning after returning my car for the AC issue, I got a call from the owner of Duncan's, his first words were accountable, apologetic, and genuine. He told me he was going to come pick up my car, leaving me a loaner (with functioning AC) because HE was going to make this right! After full diagnostics Jon had figured out what the cause was, I needed to replace my AC Compressor since the clutch was bad. He charged me ONLy for parts. He also threw in an oil change, replaced my cabin filter at no cost. He treated me like a priority and, like my business was important to him. I went from swearing I'd never go back to a business and in less than 24 hours I proclaimed I'll be a customer for life at Duncan's Automotive in Lincoln. Jon, you 100% reclaimed my business by offering me grace and empathy. You went above and beyond by coming to my home to pickup my car and stay with it from start to finish, assuring standards were followed and top service was delivered. Thanks to the team at Duncan that made this right, it changed EVERYTHING! Original Post: Called Duncan's and said my AC stopped working. I told them I also need a new drivers side door handle. I was quoted $800+ to diagnose AC and replace the door handle. I then received their call quoting an additional 1200 to repair blower and other parts for the AC, I agreed. AC worked on the way home, success!! But, then I loaded up my family the next day to get to the Reptile Expo, just ten miles away when the AC stopped working halfway there. My daughter, with a severe seizure disorder cannot handle temps over 80, started to have seizures. A nightmare. Monday morning I called and told them it stopped working and that I could not afford to not have my car for another day but would bring it in if they could get it fixed and prioritize my situation (already had my scheduled appointment and paid!) I heard "standing appointments" are already scheduled, clearly I would not be a priority. I was told they'd be able to get it back but would need me to leave it, again. I said I couldn't afford another Lyft and they said "we'll have someone take you home". I enter the shop and service writer Mike asks me if he can help me, only to seem flustered the moment he realized I was frustrated, as I was sharing the simple facts with him: I brought it in, I picked it up, my daughter was impacted by seizures and he said "you've made your point"! No, "I'm really sorry about that" or any concern/compassion/customer service) then he pointed to the work order from the previous week, and said I "didn't say the aC wasn't blowing cold air". I told him I'm not a technician nor would I know what words to convey beyond "my AC isn't working". He asked "what does that mean to you?" It means my system I use to cool down the interior of the car wasn't functioning and I paid close to $800 for a diagnosis to correct that issue. He said they'd get the car looked at but I may incur further charges, i told him I shouldn't have to pay for anything else since they told me the car was fixed and it wasn't (plus parts totaled $650 and labor was over $1200-they want more labor fees to do correct what they messed up the first time)! That's a great business practice to assure money keeps flowing in but terrible for the customer who paid to get her AC fixed only to be asked to pay more to actually get it done? Ridiculous. They charge premium labor at $210 as if they have master technicians servicing the vehicles. When I mentioned this to Mike he said, "we should've charged you the $260 rate for AC repairs".

I found them to be very honest and fair pricing (not the cheapest, but quality work). What has prompted me to write this review today is the experience I had with Justin on the phone a couple of days ago. My husband and I recently purchased a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. While looking through the owner's manual we noticed that this car specifically recommends spark plug replacement at 40,000 miles. We just hit that and and not wanting to void our warranty we called to arrange a spark plug replacement. To note, I could have done this myself, but again I don't want to give Hyundai any reason to say the engine failed due to improper maintenance. When I called to inquire about pricing, Justin immediately told me I don't need to change them this early. He then proceeded to tell me that Hyundai just recommends this to get people to spend more money. He told me he used to work for them and it isn't the spark plugs that is the problem with their engines but rather a rod. Look, I appreciate someone trying to save me money, but I also believe that when a car is still under warranty manufacturer recommendations should be followed. I probably would not have written this review except I saw Mary K's review and have to agree that Justin seems to have some kind of bias against Hyundai. I know their GDI engines were not great, but this is a newer model and it has a turbo engine and I was just trying to do what was right for the car. I ended up making the appointment with another trusted mechanic.
