I brought my 2017 Subaru Impreza in for a blinking engine temperature/ coolant light issue and they quoted me 800 bucks for a new radiator. 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.

Proof of damage, denial of security footage. And the fact that the cops had to come out.

I went in for an oil change, and the employee who serviced my vehicle backed up my car into another clients car. I didn't get upset, and I asked Jonathan for 200 dollars of compensation. He wouldn't do that so I asked for his insurance, he wouldn't provide that either. I ended up having to call the police to file a report to get his insurance, and he wasted 4 hours of my time. He wouldn't provide the police with security footage, and the other car that his employee hit isn't even aware it happened. Claims has called me and I will update this post soon. In the update I'll provide the police case number, insurance incident number, damages, settlement, proof of denying security footage, and any further litigation. PS: It has been settled, he asked his insurance company to settle with me outside of insurance since he's worried about his rates going up. I told his insurance I won't since he wasted my time and was a complete asshole. I'm going to get an estimate now. RESPONSE TO OWNER: When I initially offered you 200 to settle, you looked me in the eyes and told me to fuck off. I told you I'll call the cops to get a report, and you laughed. I want people to read all of this, and I don't know if you do some weird black market shit, but, if something happens to me it's because of you.

Tightening the serpentine belt.

Great care, was very upfront about the costs and what needed to be done, and they finished the work much faster than was estimated.

Had a very pleasant and confidence building experience dealing with Don today at Western Automatic…read moreTransmission. Don was great on the phone (I called ahead first to be sure they also work on manual transmissions). Invited mento bring my truck by for a look, after which he would tell me what he thinks needs to be addressed. He isn't far from my Apt. so I headed right over. Upon arrival the shop might not impress most people positively. The place is full of mechanic bays, has a pothole-laden drive, and there's characters of all sorts milling around. ...I loved all of that. :) I was immediately greeted by Victor, a charming and chatty gentleman who might be latin or might be cajun. All I know for sure is he loves two things: people and cars. There was another guy standing nearby. An older white guy, quiet and studying a pallet with discarded transmissions on it. The way he was eyeing them quietly reminded me of how my dad behaves in mechanics shops. I thought he was a customer. Eventually he started soft-spokenly talking to me about my truck. Turned out this guy was Don! We talked through the possible things going on. Then we took a test drive, a fairly long one too, and talked the whole time about everyday life. I really lile Don, the busiest, happiest 82 yr old I've met in a long time. In the end it was decided the transmission is great. I'm going to come back later in the week for them to change the pinion gear seal on my rear differential. If you're looking for a drivetrain specialist you can feel good about and trust, I suggest you at least come out to speak with Don. I'm sure glad I did.

They called me two days later and said it's ready, come pick it up! I asked Francisco if he test…read moredrove it and he said yes. He lied because, he didn't test drive it because if he had, he would've felt the shaking and rattling under the car!
