Said they just got the parts for my car at 1 and the guy went on lunch break mind you I made this appointment a week ago so they should of had my parts for my appointment at 8am since they knew I was coming to get my brakes changed ... I just went and picked my car up because that was very unprofessional.. when I got there to pick my car up at 230 all bays were full of cars getting worked on that got there after me ! I don't understand how they have those part ready for those car appointments but not mine ... do not recommend at all no sense of time or having the proper tools/parts available even when they been given advance notice you were coming .. I can see if I just showed up and they had to squeeze me in but that's was not the case and when they didn't have the parts they could explained that and called me back to drop my car off when the parts got there it's not hard to have common courtesy especially to a paying customer.. any other shop would have called when they didn't have the parts or had the parts ready for my appointment .. this is just ridiculous

United Mechanics…read more When it comes to the people, they're generally friendly. Currently, there are two mechanics who are fluent in English. However, there's some uncertainty about how long they'll stick around, given the owner's stance towards differing opinions. The shop has seen a fair bit of turnover in staff since it started. I was the seventh Service Advisor, and from what I've gathered, about twenty mechanics have come and gone. Unfortunately, the owner isn't particularly skilled at building professional relationships, mechanics, business, and doesn't seem to have much confidence in the American staff. There have been instances of dismissals, like one involving a mechanic who needed to attend to a family matter. Additionally, mechanics have been let go for minor slip-ups, like an oil cap incident, even when they promptly fixed the issue. On the flip side, some mechanics who've caused significant damage to customer vehicles have been kept on because they're more budget-friendly and speak the right language. It's important to note that everyone at United Mechanics seems to be good-hearted. However, when things don't align with the owner's thoughts, personnel changes tend to happen. The owner believes he provides top-notch service and charges $163.89 in labor while providing barely adequate service to all customers. There have been instances where staff have inadvertently caused damage to vehicles. In these cases, Service Advisors are instructed to manage customer expectations by attributing delays to unforeseen circumstances. It's worth noting that there's only one mechanic with advanced diagnostic skills, and he often gets pulled away from his work to fix the mistakes of another mechanic he struggles to communicate with. In addition to these personnel matters, there's a noteworthy issue with the equipment in the shop. There's a noticeable lack of specialized machinery, like transmission flush units, which affects their ability to carry out thorough transmission maintenance. This could potentially impact the overall quality of service. Moreover, there's a crucial shortage in a proper lift system designed for accurate wheel alignments. This shortage not only hampers the shop's ability to carry out precise alignment procedures, but it also raises concerns about the effectiveness of their services in ensuring optimal vehicle performance. Lastly, they're using subpar yellow hard plastic air lines. While they're cost-effective, they carry the risk of accidentally scratching and damaging customer vehicles during service. This falls short of the level of care and attention to detail expected in a professional automotive shop. These equipment limitations, combined with the personnel challenges, highlight potential difficulties in maintaining the highest standards of service quality and precision at United Mechanics. Addressing these issues is crucial for the long-term success and reputation of the establishment. The owner wonders why his business is slow yet consistently does not take the advice he asks for from his staff. I wish him the best of luck in building his business and hopefully he understands how to treat people and do quality work for his customers. However I would not bring my vehicles to this location for work. I tried to battle the inadequate service from the inside. And I provided the best customer service that I could in my short time at this establishment. If you need anything as far as transmission work goes I would use Superior Transmissions, Trans Tech, or Advance Transmissions.
