I don't need good, honest service. Will be recommending Brownies to my friends and family and will definitely go back if I need transmission work.

Bob, I'm sure you appreciate the review but I don't see you doing anything to improve your service!…read more A transmission should not go bad after a year not when most of them last 50, 60 70,000 miles I don't think you got the point! i'm stuck with a piece of shit car that I don't wanna put any more money into. I thought the transmission I bought from you guys was going to last week to 150,000 miles. Where is your compassion? It's business as usual You know what I'm talking about! The bottom line! I think the point of my message was to tell people not to even go to your business! Shame on you!

I brought my 15 year old Toyota Prius in to analyze whether or not I should keep the vehicle or…read morereplace it. The apparent extensive diagnostic was impressive. My "brakes" "traction control" & "ABS" lights were on! They told me it was not my ABS unit & told me $2,600 would fix the brakes & I thought "I'll keep the car" because that wasn't too much! Less than 12 hours after picking up the car all the lights were back as well as the grinding noise! They bled the brakes several times but again less than 24 hours the lights & grinding were back! Now they thought the ABS might be going bad??!! But they said the brakes were safe. After taking it back the 3rd time they said the accumulator was bad & it would be $3,500 to fix it! This was exactly the position I want ed to avoid! $6,100 and I shouldn't have kept the car! I was referred to the owner who I told this was exactly the "good money after bad" position I was trying to avoid! The extremely unprofessional owner hung up on me intentionally 3 times! I wasn't yelling (or screaming obscenities) like I wanted to but the owning said he wouldn't help at all & hung up on me! One of his other employees thought he would help too by the way! Maybe this place is good for oil changes or wider blade installations but anything more complicated than that you want to avoid wasting your time & money. My UNSAFE (verified by another better auto shop) Prius still has all the lights & the grinding noise it originally did! That supposed 36 month warranty didn't last even 36 hours!

Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L has been running great and tire were a real value in the heavy rains we hit on the way back.

After a frustrating experience with a previous shop that failed to fix my car (2011 BMW 328xi), I…read moredecided to take it to Specialty Motorwerkes. From the moment my car was dropped off, the staff was professional, helpful, and friendly. They took the time to explain what was wrong with my car, what needed to be done, and why. I really appreciated their transparency and communication throughout the entire process. Not only were they easy to work with, but they also completed the repairs quickly and efficiently. Now, my car is back on the road and running well. I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Update: It's now been about 2 weeks since I got my car back and everything had been working fine, no lights on my dash whatsoever. Unfortunately ,my car broke down (went into limp mode) again. So, they fixed general issues, just not the issue causing it to breakdown. I thought about taking my car back but when my father called the first thing out of their mouths was talking about a charge for looking at it again. This being the 2nd shop I had taken it to and the 2nd time I was failed by a shop, I didn't really have the means to spend another few thousand on it. Very upsetting, I was considering this shop to be a go to for me.

Perhaps the new 'Specialty' is trying to rob customers instead of doing a fair service at a decent…read moreprice? DO NOT look at reviews older than a year; that's apparently the prior owners who actually worked with honesty and integrity. My van went in with what I already confirmed was 2 bad relays, a bad fuel pump, a leaking power steering pump (Toyota used ATF back then, which is highly corrosive) and a dead alternator from the PS leak. Unless you supply external power, it was key dead. With power, all primary safety items such as, lights, front wipers, signals, blowers front and rear, power windows & locks, buzzer, horn, and the radio work. The cruise control does not work due to an illuminated BRAKE on the gauge cluster disabling this for safety. I believe it's the emergency brake lever needing tightened, and a weak brake cable that might need replaced soon. On a bottle the van cranked started ran and held idle without issue. I- like many- assumed this was the same shop as it used to be. RUN! AVOID!! Dalton called a week after it was dropped off (and the van NEVER moved, the tires aren't marked by chalk but I confirmed their drop off position visually) and proposed orally $1197, (I repeated it twice and wrote it down) to replace the fuel pump, fix the AC (provided it didn't need an evaporator, oil to convert to R134- a common and uncomplicated process if the a/c system leaks have been remedied). I was highly concerned they didn't see the obvious ATF coating everything stemming from the PS leak, but Dalton said they'll go ahead and do the fuel pump and adjacent electrical, with the PS leak and full A/C cost TBD. Not unrealistic with a 40 year old vehicle, I figured if it needed converted to R134, they would need to replace the accumulator, need a conversion kit, have to replace any leaks in the AC system... this section was indeed left open. However... he NEVER gave the quotes in writing at this point and by law I should have been entitled to those to see what he was saying on the phone. There is ZERO POINT putting another new alternator on without actually fixing the issue. NONE! He assured me on that 8/29 that he would be directly in contact when the PS issue was verified and quoted out. Nothing for nearly another week, so on 9/3 the van again was visually confirmed as not moved. I call for a status update. No mention of the supposedly 'approved' additional charges at that time. Nothing in writing... 9/4 he calls back and the 'initial' cost somehow went up to $1917 (again- nothing was provided or agreed to in writing at this point) and now we're looking at upwards of $3200 with no guarantee of the scope or scale of repairs- saying it may end up more. What was NEVER agreed to was the fuel system costs that only NOW SUDDENLY appeared after I rejected the $3200 quote. In their system he is able to manipulate what I supposedly agreed to, to show as "agreed" and checked off. That's right- his own software gives him the ability to back up his lies!!! PROFESSIONAL CON ARTISTS!! There are zero part numbers in their supposed 'estimate.' No labor times; no credits for overlapping operations (such as if you take of an alternator, the belts already have to come off). An honest and transparent shop will always be up front with you and disclose these things. Good techs make more money by being accurate and efficient with diagnostics and repairs... So just to recap: he is demanding $685.01 for a van that has NEVER had a wrench turned. He checked off without my authorization a $467.56 charge for "additional time you approved last we spoke." Dead lie here... So I proposed 2 hours plus tax to be done as-is where-is; there was a mutual expectation up until today that I'd have a van running, starting and stopping, and at least a full picture of A/C costs estimated for somewhere in the neighborhood of $1200 plus some shop fees taxes etc. Nope! Now he says I have to pay in cash (knowing this is EVIL!) AVOID AVOID AVOID DISHONEST PEOPLE

Sometimes it would remain in third after a stop and wouldn't move until I manually shifted it to first gear. When it downshifted to passing gear, it slipped some befor engaging. After I brought it back under warranty, it still slipped in passing gear. While doing some work on the engine, I discovered that the transmission was covered with dried up oil residue like it was never removed or rebuilt. When I contacted them, they said it had been rebuilt. After my lawyer contacted them for parts receipts, they didn't comply. They aren't the original owners and appear to be operating on the former owner's good reputation. I would not recommend them for anything beyond putting air in your tires. They also damaged my newly painted hood and didn't even pay for the repair.

WARNING!!!! Do NOT USE THIS MAN!!!!…read more Lorenz came to my home and told me I had a simple oil leak and towed my car to the "shop" on a Friday. We had some bad weather and he stated that they needed until Wednesday to complete the job. I paid him $40 for diagnostics and then $150 for the tow. Then sent $550 for parts. I also got a rental for 5 days through budget rent a car which cost me 500$ Wednesday came and it wasn't done. He said it would be done Thursday. I got the rental another day. Another $68 and $15 extension fee. Friday came and he said it's still not done. So after a week I have paid over 1k and it's not done. He promised it would be done the following Tuesday by 8pm. I returned rental that morning. At 9pm when he didn't show up he texted that he was done but there was still an oil leak. WHAT!!!!! He said he had parts and needed until Monday. Monday morning I asked him if it was going to be completed as promised and he said no. He needed til Wednesday. So 13 days he has had my car and it's in the same condition. I just had enough and sent a tow truck to their shop to get my car. When tow truck arrived it was at someone's house. They told me it was a mechanic shop. It's a random house on a sketchy neighborhood and my car sitting in front untouched with snow covering it still. He misled me as he had a shop. He just paid google bc he was the first to pop up. I trusted him and he lied several times. I am now at a mechanic shop hats legit and have had to get ANOTHER rental car for the week. This guy has lied and set me back almost 1500 and my car is in the same condition as it was 13 days ago. Do not trust him
