I spent $555.00 for a major tune-up. I had ' tire pressure low' light on my dashboard and…read more'maintenance due soon' alerts. I get called while they're working in the car to ask if I want an oil change as well, it would cost an additional $75.00 plus. I refused as I asked 5 people in my office and consulted Kelly Blue Book website, all of who said oil change should be part of a major tune-up. I got the car, they did not check the tire pressure and left that light on. They did not fill windshield wiper fluid. They basically changed spark plugs, air and cabin filters, PCV valve, and that was it. ALSO note they advised me to change the spark plugs and their advice was unnecessary and self-serving. I did not request that service, I went in and requested a tune-up. Now, I still need to finish getting the car serviced but at a different garage as I will not return to Millers Corners Garage. 4/8/2023 Update: Went to Lia Honda who charged me $155.00 including tax for 5000 mile maintenance and to change oil and rotate tires, change fluids, etc... They said they were "very sorry" when I showed them the invoice from Millers Corners Garage. They said that you only change spark plugs and do a valve adjust after 100k miles. My car has under 18,500 miles. Millers Corners tole me I needed to change the spark plugs and do a valve adjust. That was untrue. Three techs of Lia Honda looked at the Millers Corners invoice and shook their heads, saying sorry to me. They all said it looks like I was cheated.

The dealer told me I needed to replace a caliper and (basically brand new) brake. I took my car here for a second opinion where they explained why the caliper might be leaking, how it might be affecting the brake, and under what circumstances the brake would have to be replaced. They updated me every step of the way and were able to replace the caliper and avoiding replacing my nearly new brake. I really appreciated that they took the time to check in with me when they looked at the car, when the part came in, and when the work was completed. I don't know much, if anything, about cars but I really appreciated it when they explained everything in great detail so I can better understand what's happening with my own car. Also, it's a little thing, but every time I've interacted with anyone at this garage, they called me by my name and even remembered my partner's name when he went to pick up my car for me. I'm definitely coming here for all my car service from now on.

Since discovering this gentleman and his repair shop not long ago I have been bringing both of my…read morevehicles to him for repairs. This review just reinforces my previous review. Kenta Bond, the owner of this shop is a man of high integrity. He also is a master of customer service. I call him a dinosaur because, even though he is a rather young person, he provides "old time" customer service. His pricing is extremely competitive - better than many - and he truly cares about his customers. The other day he stayed late to make sure my car repair was complete. It was not a simple repair. The car needed an axle. The parts supply house was very late getting him the needed part so Mr. Bond actually got in his car and went to the supply house and picked up the part himself. That pushed the repair completion time back. However, Mr. Bond stayed about an hour past usual closing time to get the job done for me. He does high quality work and is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Please help support this small local business. He needs the support far more than the big chain repair shops in the area and his price markups are far less than theirs!

I really don't like auto dealers. I set out to purchase a Dodge Grand Caravan from a private…read moreparty. While I was waiting for one seller who didn't turn up, I found a car at Driveline Motors on craigslist. It was $1,000 over my budget and 3 years newer than I planned to buy, a 2008. Tony Tote, jr, the 3rd generation owner answered the phone. He was straight with me about the car. He let me drive and look without overselling me. I had him look up the KBB private party sale price and he sold me the car for a bit under. But I got service I would not get in a private party sale. The car was meticulously clean although they did use air freshener in it which I hate. Once I decided, they did all of the paperwork and put my plates on the car while I went to the bank to get the money. I suppose there are some people who would pay a lot more to go to a big dealership with professional salesmen. We bought a new honda recently from a showroom that delivered free cappuccino and espresso. But I bought a great 7 year old car from folks who are well organized, clean, and clearly know that they need to deliver a good value to survive as an independent. And clearly, they do. I really like a small independent who's made their way for 3 generations by offering good service. There's no fancy coffee here, but solid people and a good deal.

All this without sacrificing the integrity of the car, though. It is such a relief to know you are going to receive competent and honest work on one of the major financial investments you make: your vehicle. I can't recommend them highly enough.
