You know he's pretty special when you walk into a shop with a fireplace and are greeted by 3 gorgeous dogs. Cory treats me just like family.

He took it in for an oil leak, ac to get fixed, and a knocking noise. When they finally brought it in they told him it needed a completely new exhaust, car had an all new exhaust on it before he brought it in. They told him a aftermarket thermostat house was installed and that should be replaced as well with oem mini part. Nothing was said about the knocking noise, and allegedly there was no oil leak yet there was a rather large oil spot in the driveway. They "fixed" the ac and that was it. The other day I go to start digging into the mini, ac doesn't blow cold, was in a heated shop, the brake caliper bracket was finger tight, the sway bar end link was loose with a stripped nut, caps are missing from ac ends, oil all over. For the amount of time that car was at the shop and all they got "fixed" was the ac to not blow cold now. My father is in his 70s and was treated like this is ridiculous.

They say "well let you know" Take a whole 34 hours to get my "quote" They tell me a dozen other things "wrong" with the car, then give me a "quote" of $3250. Mark up the price of parts by about 3x.

Worst experience ever! Zero communication! The service I…read morerequested was to have the battery replaced and oil changed in my 2005 Honda Civic. It took 3 hours and cost me $428.00. My appointment was for 1pm. My car wasn't moved from where I parked it until 1:25. I thought once they had my car in the garage and had a look at it that they would come out to the waiting room to give me my options. Instead, they installed a $254 battery; they thought this was ok for a 20yo car. There was no communication with me regarding anything until 2:45 when Brian came to the waiting room to inform me of $2000 worth of work that my car needed, which included $761 for 2 rear struts. I never asked for a full car inspection. I thought I would not be able to leave, but I was informed the battery was not yet installed. I didn't get out of there until 4 pm. Once I arrived home I took a closer look at my receipt and saw that I was billed $85 for a "charging system test" which I did not ask for, nor was it necessary. I then looked under the hood and saw that even though they had my car for 3 hours, they couldn't take a minute to do a courtesy top-off to the power steering fluid and brake fluid, but instead left them at below the low mark. The AAA battery they installed had a black date sticker of 6/24; a one-year old battery.
