    I booked Instant Car Fix to replace both front and rear brakes on my VW Tiguan. I was very clear…read morewhen I told the rep I needed parts and labor included. I was quoted $520.40, and the invoice even said OEM -- which implies they'd be supplying the original parts. But when the mechanic finally showed up two hours late, he asked me if I had the parts. I told him no, because I paid for everything up front. Turns out, they sent him a completely different invoice that said I was supplying the parts, which I NEVER agreed to. I asked for a refund and was told no -- just because the mechanic showed up, even though no work was done. They then tried to charge me $1,500 for a new quote with parts and labor. I refused. Since then, I've been calling and emailing -- no one replies. They keep saying they'll call me back and never do. And here's where it gets worse... The mechanic gave me a screenshot of their internal messages. One of their reps actually called me a "crazy customer" after admitting I paid for labor without parts -- which was their miscommunication. I was insulted and dismissed, even after calmly trying to resolve it. The mechanic even told me he's leaving the company because they don't pay him on time and treat customers like this all the time. This was a complete scam, and I'm sharing screenshots to prove it. Avoid this company at all costs -- they lie, gaslight, and hide behind fake reviews.

    I contacted Instant Car Fix on a Saturday when I experienced car troubles while in a city 2 hours…read morefrom my home with 2 of my kids. I was staying at a hotel for the weekend when my alternator went out. I did not want to pay the $200 fee to get a mechanic dispatched the same day and there was an option for an appointment between 11AM-3PM the next day (Sunday). Since we were going to be there most of the day on Sunday anyway, I selected this option. Instant Car Fix was supposed to call me 30 minutes prior to the mechanic arriving. Since I had not received a call by 2:30, I called the company who told me the mechanic had indicated that he would be there at 4pm and someone should have reached out to me. I informed them that no one reached out. When no one showed up by 4, I called back. They said the mechanic was stuck on another job and they were wondering if I could reschedule for the next day. I was really frustrated because I would have to pay for another night in the hotel and my kids and I would need to miss school/work on Monday, but I didn't see that I had much of an option. The appointment time on Monday was the same window of 11AM to 3PM, but having learned my lesson the day prior, I started calling them early to find out when the mechanic would arrive. I got the run around from every person I spoke with. I was told they would contact the mechanic and call me back (no callback ever came), that they had to reissue my ticket (even though the situation had not changed since the first person I spoke with on Saturday), and finally that the mechanic wasn't available so they were looking for a back-up mechanic for me. At this point, I gave up on them and started making plans to have the vehicle towed to a local shop to be fixed the following day and rented a car to drive my family home. When arrangements were made, I called Instant Car Fix back to say that since they didn't come by 3PM, I didn't need their service any longer. They said they had assigned a mechanic who would be there between 5:30-6:30PM, and if I was going to cancel, I would have to pay a cancellation fee. I informed them that they didn't meet the terms of our agreement and they would not be charging me anything. They said it would be sent to the cancellations department who would deal with the matter. It's now Tuesday, and while I haven't had a charge on my card yet, I am watching for it. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY TO DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL DO or you could be like me hanging out in a hotel lobby with two kids for two days waiting for a company to make good on their promises. Now that I've more carefully read others' reviews on the shotty workmanship, I guess I should be grateful that the mechanic didn't show. On the other hand, the customer service folks were nice even though they were unhelpful. I got at least 200 apologies over the last 2 days.
