    Let me start by saying I do not like adding apps to my phone but I put this Yelp app on my phone…read morejust so I can post this review. The staff was nice. Unfortunately that can't make up for the dishonest act they tried to pull on me. I spent roughly $2,800 to get a new transmission put in my truck and while I had it in there I asked them to do my inspection. And they got back to me a couple days later and they didn't even start the transmission. They called me to tell me that my truck needed a bunch of work in order to pass inspection. They told me my brake system was essentially garbage. They said I needed a new calipers, rotors, brake pads all around the vehicle, and that I needed backing plates on the front. And they wanted to charge me $1,900 to do it. So I told them I would do it myself and bring it in later. Out of all of the things they told me I "needed", The real kicker is that you don't need backing plates to pass inspection. In other words, my truck could have been inspected and passed that day they called me and told me I needed to pay $1,900 in order for my truck to be good enough to pass inspection. I will attach pictures that show you my rotor thickness and my brake pad thickness. Again, these are things they told me I needed to replace. My rotors we're almost new. My front brake pads we're still above 8 mm. A my rear brake pads were just above 5 mm. Which is low. But still passing for inspection. I replaced them anyway. But I could have gone another couple months without replacing them if I wanted to. I realize this could be an isolated incident with one mechanic out of the many that work there. Like I said I've dealt with polite staff members. And they seem knowledgeable. Unfortunately this act was a bit too dishonest to overlook. And to be completely honest, it makes me question whether or not my transmission was done right. How do I know that my transmission was not a small cheap fix but they charged me for the most expensive fix possible? This is something I have to live with now. And it makes me pretty pissed off. Because of that I will not trust ever going there again. In this day and age were you have a bunch of do-it-yourselfers especially with YouTube video showing you how to do everything. The only thing keeping the mechanic industry alive is honesty. I will honestly say I would rather overpay for an honest mechanic then get work done by dishonest a cheap mechanic. But these guys were expensive AND dishonest. it's unfortunate because they do seem like nice people. Especially the lady at the counter. And I have spoken to other people who have had half-decent experiences with them. But in the past week, as I have shared my story with other people. I've also found out there's a lot more people that have had extremely disappointing interactions with them. Calling them, con artists and thieves. I hope this review help someone. My transmission seems to be working fine. And that's the main reason I went there. I will keep you posted if anything happens. The only good thing to come out of this is my transmission came with a 2-year 24000 mile warranty. So luckily if anything does go wrong, I can get it fixed for free in that time frame. But I promise you I am going to another ACDelco dealer and not sawchuk's when that happens. Thank you for reading this.
