My last experience with them happened when I took my car to another place to have valve cover gaskets replaced. It was botched so badly. A $250 price turned to $450 then it was going to need more parts and labor so it shot to $1250. Using only necessary parts and eating a lot of labor to fix someone elses mess, Maidens fixed it in a day for $550.

Also, he has to get someone else to calibrate the replacement transmission. After getting the vehicle back a month later, it starts making a whining noise. I read up and it says it possibly low transmission fluid. I check the dip stick and it doesn't even show up on the dip stick. I have to add 3 quarts of transmission fluid. A few days later, my AC does not work. I take it to another shop and they tell me carrier bearing housing is missing. Likely from when they replaced the transmission, they didn't put this back on. I would highly suggest not using this place.

What really was the last straw for me today was I got in my car to go to the doctor and there was a lot of mist on my windshield and dirt so I hit the stalk to spray the windshield fluid and the wipers went on but guess what there was still fluid so I went to manually turn the wipers on to clear the windshield again and guess what it didn't work so now I had to order a whole new windshield stalk assembly with the relay and sensor which alone is $165 not to mention that I have to pay someone to install it. And remember, he is the one that did the pre-inspection before I bought the car and what mechanic doesn't check the windshield wiper function to see that it works as part of this inspection? So, I also have found a handful of other things that need to be done on the car that he didn't bring to my attention. I absolutely cannot afford to go to a shop now with all of these issues, let alone to a crook like this. I found someone that is going to do it on site where I live and for $75 an hour but quite frankly I can barely afford that on my income with all of the parts that I had to buy. So in short, this guy is a liar and a thief. Stay far away from him and his shop!!!

I would like to start by saying we are loyal customers of BRTA, we have referred several family and…read morefriends to this location. Up until this last visit, we have been nothing but pleased. We brought our car in for a brake issue. While working on the brakes, they told us it needed a steering repair and new tires. We picked up the car and scheduled a time for the steering repair. The repair was supposed to take a coupls of days, they had the car for several weeks. I left a message for them to quote me tires while they had it, so we could possibly get they done while it was there. There seems to have been a change in front desk staff, the previous guy was also super friendly and helpful. The new person acts like he's miserable every time you call. He stated he didn't get my message but could work up a quote for tires. I didn't get the quote until I called to pay for the steering repair. We found cheaper tires somewhere else, had them delivered to the shop and scheduled a third visit in a month. The front desk person told us to bring it back the following Monday at 11 and they would put the tires on. While I was on the pone with him I told him the brake light has been on ever since they fixed the brakes, the power washing fluid container has also been leaking since they repared the steering. My husband took it in at 11, as requested and was told they thought we were going to drop it off. The front desk guy went to the back and talk to the garage staff, my husband could hear him cursing and complaining about us bringing the car in and not dropping it off. Then, my husband mentioned the brake light and he said we'd have to make another appointment. Our car has been in the garage for nearly a month and still is not completely fix. Every time we call to ask a questions, the guy at the front desk has an attitude of he doesn't want to speack to anyone, and our questions are not answered. I have never experienced this at this garage, but it is enough that we are considering a new gagrage.
