I also have to chime in about the price gouging I experienced during my last routine maintenance…read more Lesson learned to ALWAYS get a quote. I neglected to do that bc I figured it couldn't cost that much to basically get a tire rotation and have them spend 15-20 min checking fluid levels and stuff. Not complicated AT ALL. Attached is what's needed. I was charged like $200 and was floored. Esp now that I'm due for my next routine maintenance and other places are quoting me $35 for a rotation. Maybe these guys are fine for actual repairs and serious mechanic work, but I don't appreciate being taken advantage of, which is quite common in this industry against women, which is sad.

I'm shocked. B.s. about OEM Parts! How long it took was 1.5 hrs! $1400.00 bricks and rotors is ridiculous, parts in labor. Parts put on my suv mercedes was Brembo. Price difference. Simon part in labor $1400.00, 1.5 worth at work! Other mechanic parts in labor $700.00, 1.5 worth of work! Always check how long it would take simon to do the work. Check with another shop before taking your car in to simon.To do the work. My mistake! You can make up your own decision. Simon cannot be trusted. I've been going there for I think, 6 or 7 yrs. Simon, why do I have to show the receipt to you? Who are you? I don't need you to be my mechanic anymore. Lol I see how the game is played. You're lucky I don't like fixing cars or getting involved in cars. What I know now I can open a shop next. Door to you and put you out of business. I don't want to waste my time on cars! You're the one that rip off your customers. I'm just telling your customers my experience for being a good customer 6-7 years, with you. I'm not questioning you on the work e for all this. So you're asking me for receipts, why would I give you receipts and give up my contacts. This work has been been done a week ago. I took a picture after having coffee and breakfast. That's why you see two rotors there. The mechanic was so quick. I wasn't going to post, but you keep opening your mouth. This is my third and final reply to u! I've been a good customer of yours. 6-7 years. Not one time I ever haggled about price. I'm a customer that drops off the car and wait for you to tell me how much. It's my fault for getting to comfortable with you. Throughout this experience i've learned where to source out materials on the cheap! Now, I just need to find a couple more shops to keep everyone on there honest. So thank you simon for that! If you really want to find out who it is, I'll give you three hints. 1. He's chinese. 2. He's in oakland. 3. He is honest. You can figure out if it's you or not. This post is going to hurt you more me. You just don't want to accept responsibility Simon. It's hard to justify $1400.00 for 1.5 hours of work part in labor. Thank you, Simon for putting me in this position. I know where the source, the parts now. Have a good rest day for your day. By the way, for your customers, understanding my relationship with Simon. We were friends enough where I gave simon a french bulldog for free for being a a good guy. Never asking for discount, just paying .What simon asked for. Like I said be careful.

He also gave me a few questions to ask just to be safe. That kind of reassurance, from hundreds of miles away, was priceless.

At 1:00 p.m., after waiting two hours, I walked back to check on the status and found that they hadn't even started working on my car. When I told them I was leaving, the employee suddenly asked if I could wait another 10-15 minutes because he could "start it now". So frustrating. My scheduled appointment meant absolutely nothing until I complained and I was not interested in a rushed oil change... If your business can't honor appointment times, don't offer appointments. Respect your customers' time. I would not recommend taking your business here. I certainly won't be back.

Most of the shop was recently stolen CAT victims. Janice at the desk was very patient, clear, and generally pleasant over the phone walking me through next steps when I called Monday. She was more than happy to work with Geico on the claim. You just gotta call when your tow truck is loading up the car so they can make room in the shop in time to receive your vehicle. At the end, I paid my deductible out of pocket with Zelle. They have a QR code. I left with my signed, one page customer copy of the repairs and payment documentation. They quoted me $350 for this added rebar welding service as a theft deterrent. This is a separate charge from your insurance claim. A very welcoming younger man named Vincent (?) lifted up the car and walked me through the undercarriage work and the theory behind the rebar. He was honest and said nothing is a complete solution, but that in the years they have performed this service, only a handful of customer have come back with attempted theft incidents. However, in those cases, the thief only made the cuts and couldn't pull the converter out. So repairs are cheaper in the long run because it's a welding repair, not a full converter replacement. If you go through insurance that is also good news, because he said with tariffs and the war, prices are going up and it's increasingly likely your insurance will deem your car totaled just for the stolen CAT based on their rising repair costs compared to your older car's current value.

Giovanna and her extremely capable team know the ins and outs of insurance negotiations, and they know how to help customers get what they actually need. Some of them have worked on the dark side of insurance, so they know exactly where the pressure points are -- and yes, they know how to wield their lightsabers. When I told people that a bus hit my parked car and kept rolling, after they picked their jaws up off the floor, five different people immediately told me: Go to Giovanna. One of them had just picked up their car from Uptown and said, "Don't even bother shopping around." That recommendation was fresh. My front fender hasn't looked this good since 2012. More importantly, I know the safety features behind the bumper -- the parts I can't see -- were restored properly. They told me I would only have to pay my deductible. That is exactly what happened. Giovanna and Uptown Body & Fender are the real deal: independent, skilled, community-trusted, and absolutely the people you want on your side when insurance is involved. Massive bonus point: Giovanna is an OG trailblazer: a woman owner in the very male-dominated world of auto body repair.
