DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE - THEY DO NOT CHECK FLUIDS! I looked at the website before hand and…read moredecided to come into Costa for the first time (website says how they are so ethics, most educated customer will choose them, and a bunch of other BS). I was initially intrigued as you stay inside your vehicle and the guy does everything right there in front of you. I thought "Oh wow, this way you can see him checking everything" and I paid close attention to the tech doing the car next to mine. However my initial optimism quickly turned sour, as I was horrified to see the other tech did not check ANY fluids, let alone belts and hoses. I thought "Oh No, please tell me mine isn't about to do the same" - so now I was paying extra close attention. My own tech filled the washer fluid, oil, and "seemed" to check the tire air pressure - but that IS IT! Sure enough, he did not inspect belts or hoses or check any other fluids, which I already knew I had at least one low which is why I came in. He did not even open the air filter box to check the air filter! So he closes the hood, comes over and says "All Done." to which I said "What about my fluids?" And this guy had the audacity to say "I checked them all, you're good!" I said sarcastically "You checked them all!?" And he said "Pop the hood and have a look!" I'll give him this, he had some serious balls to tell a bold faced lie just like that! Well, I guess this jerkoff wasn't expecting me to call his bluff because that's exactly what I did! I popped the hood and got out of my car, and he just stood there dumbfounded. So I lifted the hood myself, put up the bar, and waited for him to say something else stupid. After a brief awkward-for-him silence I realized, okay so I guess I have to take the lead here, fine. So I said "There's barely any coolant in that reservoir dude (as I open the cap), look at it!" And this guy, this f*ing guy, says "Well we charge extra to add coolant." So I just stood there saying nothing, until he finally says "Sooo...you want me to add coolant? Because it's four dollars." YES, YES, I WOULD PRETTY PLEASE LIKE TO HAVE COOLANT IN MY ENGINE! Then I said, "So what about power steering - look at it, its below the minimum line?" and he says "We don't carry power steering." Okay, well APPARENTLY you don't CHECK power steering fluid either! I watched him the whole time, he didn't check a damn thing and neither did his partner! So it's clearly not an isolated incident, that's how they do every customer every time. The worst part is, there was a giant sign right next to him saying all the things they allegedy check. I drove off in a rage and later sent a text message to the owner/manager but received no response.

I didn't get notified of the diagnosis until 4pm and couldn't get my car back until the next day. The humming noise could not be identified and suggested I change a tie rod. I thought this was the issue. I called on Tuesday morning to get an estimated time to pick up my car I was told 3pm. I arrived on time at 3pm since I had to get to work that evening, I was charged for the tie rod and sent on my way. Driving back home, I noticed the humming sound was still there and even louder. I looked at the repair bill and it stayed that the humming sound was possibly from the rear differential and could cost upwards of 2k dollars, I was shocked they didn't tell me this in person when I picked up the car. I called to get more information on this and they told me they could not exactly point out the source of the humming sound and that they were only 70% sure it was the rear differential. For 2k I wasn't sure if I could trust them to do the repairs given my experience so far. I'm very disappointed with the lack of communication and lack of solution finding to the problem I walked in with. About an hour later, I didn't feel safe with the car driving as is and called back asking to go ahead with the rear differential repair. They told me that they will shop around for parts and give me a call back. It is now Thursday and have not heard back from the shop. Terrible service. Go somewhere else
