AUTOMOTIVE AUTHORITY REVIEW This shop was personally…read morerecommended to me; I really wanted to like them. However, bottom line: the issue I took my car in for was NEVER FIXED - across several visits. Nick & Tim are very nice and seemingly easy to work with; however, if the issue is never fixed, and new issues keep showing up, what's the point? VISIT 1: On 01/26/2026, I took my 2014 Subaru Outback (200k mi) because the engine was shuddering upon braking, the car then stalling itself off while driving. They test drove it and did a diagnostic, telling me what I already knew: the catalytic converter (CAT) was due to be replaced. I was not ready to commit to that repair at the time; the current issue was something new that hadn't happened previously. They couldn't find anything else wrong. They insisted fixing the CAT would surely take care of this NEW PROBLEM and offered to use an aftermarket part to lower the price. The codes were reset and I left. Less than a week later, all lights on dash turned back on. VISIT 2: Forced to make a decision between the pricey CAT repair and having to start over elsewhere, I begrudgingly agreed to the CAT replacement BELIEVING that it would, indeed, fix the problem, as I'd been told. However, within 72 hrs of this 'repair', the engine shuddering (original complaint) happened again AND it turned all the engine lights associated with the catalytic converter back on. VERY CLEARLY, the problem I brought the car in for had NOT BEEN FIXED. VISIT 3: I was told to bring it back in on a Friday evening (01/30/2026), so they could drive it cold in am to better diagnose it. They FORGOT to test drive it cold. They ran the diagnostic but still didn't know what the problem was. They cleaned out the air manifold, a GUESS as to what may help, then reset the codes. 2 weeks later: HUGE engine shudder causing a stall in traffic; all warning lights back on. Also: violent shaking on the freeway; an entirely new problem. VISIT 4 (2/20/2026): After running another diagnostic, they told me they still had no idea what was causing the initial engine shuddering/stalling issue; they literally said "It ain't broke enough yet!" for them to fix it! They said the highway shaking was caused by 2 control arms needing to be replaced, a safety issue that should be fixed immediately but that I had not been alerted to at any previous visit. Every time I picked up my car, I was assured that it had been vigorously test-driven before it was approved to leave, yet new problems showed themselves each time I had it back. After having the control arms replaced, I was again assured that the car was ready to go, no visible/diagnosable problems present, (save the ORIGINAL COMPLAINT which was 'not broken enough to fix'). I had given them about $3000 of my money at this point; the ORIGINAL COMPLAINT yet to be fixed! Here, I vowed that I would go elsewhere should the original problem repeat itself again. Clearly, Automotive Authority had no intention of actually fixing the original complaint! Immediately upon leaving that time, I knew something was VERY WRONG with the brakes. I thought "No way would they let me leave the shop with brakes about to fail; I must be mistaken". I KNOW the brakes were not in that condition when I dropped the car off. There was a tactile and audible grinding of the brakes from the moment I left that shop after the 3rd unnecessary repair. On March 3, 2026, the brakes completely cut out WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I had to use the paddle shifters on my Subaru to get home safely. What had they done to my brakes?!? I dropped the car off with normal brakes, lots of wear left, and after picking it up from an unrelated repair, the brakes were worn to the point of failing. I have no answers. But, they certainly didn't test drive it before giving it back to me; there was no way they could have missed it! After $3000 already paid for unnecessary repairs, I was not going to pay AA to fix it again. I reached out one last time to tell AA the brakes had died while driving and to ask if they would take any parts back that they sold to me and I didn't need. I never heard from them again. I got ONLY $900 trade for that Subaru and had to buy a new car in the end. My advice: never trust these guys without a 2nd opinion...or, just don't bother at all.

The next day they had my vehicle and they diagnosed it. The engine was blown or at least had a major defect and needed to be replaced. They didn't try to upsell me just to get money. I'm coming to these guys for five years and was recommended this company by my brother-in-law who's been coming to them for a minimum of 10 years. Respectful, trustful and honest in an industry that is not always that way. I've been a mechanic since the 80s and I would recommend this company to anybody.

I would recommend this facility 50 times plus!!!!

I recently had my vehicle serviced here. While the repair itself was completed, I was very…read moredisappointed with the communication and customer service throughout the process. A straightforward question about arranging service turned into an unnecessarily confrontational and combative interaction on more than one occasion. I later contacted the owner to address my concerns. His response focused on the timing of the vehicle's arrival and the impact on the technicians, as well as the possibility that there had been a misunderstanding regarding the towing company's guidelines, which was not the case. My concerns about the way I was treated during the interaction were never addressed, nor was my subsequent follow-up acknowledged at all. Since that interaction, I have received two additional messages in less than 24 hours regarding pickup of my vehicle, both requesting a callback. This level of repeated contact was not part of my prior interactions with the shop and was completely unnecessary. One call providing the repair information, estimated cost, and pickup details should have been sufficient. Good automotive service isn't just about completing the repair. Customers should also be treated with courtesy and professionalism. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this business. If you value courtesy, professionalism, respect and restraint, then choose another shop.

So I paid nearly $7000 to have half the components on my engine that they SWAPPED OVER from the last engine, go out. in the pictures your looking at my receipt for the engine shop, some of the half butt work they've done, breaking multiple clips and just zip tie them to the engine which ended up causing a misfire because the ignition coil was fkn zip tied down.

What was great was that he allowed me to buy the parts and he'd only charge for installation. I appreciated that very much. He told me the job would take 3--4 days. It ended up being about two weeks. He would be straight up when I would call or text. Hey, I'm having some programming issues, but I'm trying. Unfortunately, I had to get a rental car and all that. However, when I finally got the car back there was no jerking. No more hesitation. Mike figured it out. I had to let him cook. So, if you have the time and want it done right... go to Mike. Make sure he has a slot available too. He has earned my business.

I first called another shop, but they didn't really seem to care--they just told me to "bring it in whenever and we'll get to it when we can." When I called Pointe Auto Tech, Mike answered and immediately treated my situation like it mattered. He told me to bring the truck straight in and not shut it off, making sure I'd get there without getting stranded. He really cared about helping me, and it showed. Even better, they had the starter replaced and my truck back to me in less than 24 hours. That's incredible, especially since I don't have another vehicle to fall back on. Mike truly went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, and I can't thank him enough. The price point was amazing too! Looking around and his prices are lower for sure! So excellent customer service and great prices! Highly recommend Pointe Auto Tech--and especially Mike--if you want a shop that actually looks out for you, gets the job done right, and doesn't try to overcharge you!
