First they charged me $1400 for a brake job that glitched two days later I had to get a $500 tow from Oakland. when they were done working on the truck, they informed me that they had to disable the emergency brakes and recommended I buy a wedge. A couple years later, my truck broke down just a mile from their shop so I had it towed there. Again, the charge was $1400 for a new water pump. the work did not hold. A screw came off, water flooded the engine, and this time they informed me I needed a new engine and returned the truck to me (with a $100 diagnostic fee). he kept saying the numbers don't lie when honestly their numbers did not align with what Cortez auto showed me. Since a new engine would be $6000 plus, I bought a new truck instead. Don't trust these guys. They do not know what they're doing. They wrecked my truck.

But in the recent heat wave, we discovered that the CR-V's air conditioning wasn't working, and made an appointment. Bottom line, they found an unusual wire break, and also found several other problems (rear brakes, yikes!). Resulting service was great, as we expected. We so appreciate Lisa (owner) and her deep knowledge and trouble-shooting skills.

My mother was charged $1700 and not long after the engine light came on with codes for misfire and would drive very rough. Ended up taking it to Square Deal in Pinole to find out that the coils put on at K & L were very low quality, three were not seated correctly, and the screw on one was so cross threaded that it couldn't be removed. I believe K&L can do great work on older cars, but since all my family's cars are newer, we will have to find a new mechanic.

I could have driven an extra mile if it meant better service. My spark plug misfired, and I needed one ignition coil replaced. The cost for materials was $80, which already sounded off. Then, when I got the full quote, it was $200. That's a service fee of $120 per hour. Why would it cost $120 to unplug and plug something? They also did an extra diagnostic test that was unnecessary, which added to the cost. Don't go here. It is hard to find honest mechanics these days, and they are, unfortunately, not honest. They'll take advantage of you.

I'm so late in reviewing Square Deal Garage. We've been bringing our cars to square deal garage for…read more25+ years. This is probably one of the best repair shops in the area. They do top quality repair work. They are honest and upfront on what needs to be done. Back in January, we noticed that our car was leaking some type of fluids, and over heating. In a panic, we stopped by Square Deal, and they were to take us even though they were super busy that day. A few days later we had our car back with all the necessary repairs done. Fast forward to last Friday, I noticed some fluids leaking under the front of the car again. I took my car to Square Deal, and they ran all the necessary diagnostics and found nothing leaking or any broken hoses. It turned out to be condensation from the AC. The pricing is competitive and if they see something else that needs to be done other than the original issues, they would call and let me know before proceeding with the repairs. They are a family owned and local and conveniently located in downtown Pinole. Brian and Paunch(sp?) are super nice, helpful and knowledgeable. I can't say enough about Square Deal Garage. I highly recommend for your car repair needs. You will not be disappointed. Give them a try.
