We dropped our car off on Thursday morning, telling them that the engine code was P0017 and that it…read morewas an issue with the timing chain. We actually called them on Tuesday. So, called on Tuesday, told them about the code, and dropped the car off on Thursday. Thursday afternoon at 4, after hearing nothing, we call them. They say they won't be able to get to it until Monday because they aren't open on Fridays (no info on this on the website). Monday morning, "Ron," the "owner and manager" and also idiot, calls me to tell me that it will cost $10,000. He doesn't tell me what they diagnosed or provide any details. He tells me they called our warranty company, but that the warranty company probably wouldn't cover it. (The warranty company disagreed) I asked for a list of the repairs needed and how they knew it would cost 10,000 dollars. He could not and would not provide it. I asked him if they did an actual diagnosis or just looked at the codes. He said they "did a full diagnosis". The more I pushed back, the more stupefied Ron got (not a hard task to complete, stupefying Ron). When I asked him how he knew what a cam phaser was, he said they wouldn't do any work. Then he told me they actually had done no diagnosis and just looked at the codes. So, for 4 days, they had a vehicle, they performed no diagnosis, they had no idea if the P0017 code was a cam phaser or a solenoid. Ron said, "This is a common issue, and we always replace all parts." By Ron's admission, they gave me a 10,000-dollar estimate with no work done or assessment performed, just going off Ron's big gut. He did send pictures to my girlfriend when i had her call of the parts list (no verification it relates to my vehicle). Though there is a bigger problem that iin 2026. Ron doesn't know how to use an email. So, Ron (505-474-6515) is a scammy, garbage mechanic who takes advantage of people and lies to them. Do not trust them, do not bring your car here. Taking it to an abandoned parking lot will be a better use of your money than coming to this swamp pit. Anywhere would be better than Ron and his merry band of misfits.

It was a tricky issue, and Mike's Garage only caught part of it at first. But when I brought it back the next day, they were determined to solve it, and they did! Turns out there was a weird issue with my compressor that only showed up at high temps, which is why they missed it the first time. I was incredibly impressed. I was expecting to wait around all day for the compressor swap, and was shocked when they had it back to me, ready to go, within 2 hours and only charging me for the compressor since they'd missed the issue the day before.

I'm sure this shop is good at the basics, but my experience with my Jetta was an absolute fail…read more After a friend and longtime customer raved about the quick and thorough service, I thought I'd give them a try. I was going to go to the dealer because it was a bit more complicated issue - the EPC light. But the owner assured me she could check this for me. She told me to have my car there the next morning by 9:00am and they'd check it out. Almost two days passed without any info regarding my car. I made 4 or 5 calls to inquire, each time the person that answered said he'd check with the owner and call me back. No call back ever happened. Finally, late afternoon the second day I called again, got the owner who said she was just getting ready to call me(?!). She said she "ran the codes" and the car needed spark plugs, an oil change, new coil and an oil separator. Not really what I had read were common issues when the EPC light comes on... So with this quote, I was concerned; I had recently had the spark plugs replaced and my oil changed. She admittedly didn't even check the oil in this diagnostic appointment for which I was charged nearly $100. And to boot she kept saying "ESP" light, instead of "EPC." It was even in the written quote. Didn't make me feel very confident that 1) they would be able to address the EPC light issue and 2) they really knew what my car needed when two items had recently been done (plus she didn't even check my oil). She quoted me something over a $1,000 to do this work. I told her I needed my car (I never expected to not have transportation for two days) and I would get back to her at which point I had to pay a diagnostic fee for something done hastily upon my 4th or 5th call and wasn't even accurate. Thank goodness I rescheduled my previous appointment with the dealership. They looked at my car, called me within an hour and it turned out it was my cooling fan, it had broken causing the car to not be able to cool and thus making the EPC light come on. I paid little more at the dealer than the crazy erroneous quote from Autocare 2000. I think they didn't know what the problem was and decided to just throw out the most basic common issues hoping that would bandaid the problem. I tell you this so you think twice before going there if it's something more complicated, because chances are you'll have to pay for something that's not even the problem and then pay again to actually fix the issue elsewhere.
