The showed me the Car Fax because all dealerships are supposed to write what type of services they have done to a vehicle. My dealership put schedule maintenance on my car, but never went into a detail what type of schedule maintenance. So it's very vague. However, Luke King put in every single detail of work that done in my car, not a blanket statement. I appreciate Danny and Chris!

I stopped by today to ask if Angels worked on RV's.

I am grateful for his courteous service and will stop by the other shop. I am very impressed by how neat and tidy Angels is and will definitely bring my cars here if need be! Thank you Ricardo!

Ricardo was recommended to me by Mitch at AstroMotive; this was my second time taking my 1994 Chevy…read moreAstro to them - this time for some major work: New air conditioning system, shorted horn and indicators, and check engine light. The day before I was to pick up my van, Ricardo called to let me know that the radiator shroud (see my other reviews to learn what shop replaced my radiator) was not only completely unbolted, but was cracked in half! This isn't the normal type of work that Angel's does, but Ricardo sourced and installed a replacement shroud, which required a trip to Pick A Part. He also found a cracked hose connector that was causing a vacuum leak and replaced that as well. This was absolutely an above-and-beyond experience. Expect and receive outstanding service here!

The service here is very fast, quality and attention to detail to my car in their care was lovely …read more I dropped off at 8am on a Saturday and it was ready by 1130am and that was after having to order parts to install. Communication was clear and direct and they even showed me the horrible state my breaks and rotors had been. My only complaint was the exspensive cost I had to pay because I used a card for my method of payment. I was qouted $899 however because I didnt have cash I had to pay a processing fee which was a ridiculous amount bringing my total to $932. A person not being told that prior to service is very upsetting to shell out extra money because I didnt pay in cash seems unfair. Please explain to your patrons the difference or give the rates for cash vs card up front as this would help people decide if it is financially doable. Regardless I feel minus the extra fees on my car I will continue to return but will only pay cash .

You have no idea how impressed I am with these guys!! Brought in my '98 4Runner with 290k miles…read morethinking I needed a rebuild after so many miles. Calvin gave me a fair price for the rebuild. Jimmy called asking me to describe the symptoms and asked a lot of questions, which I really appreciated. Sounded like he wanted to clearly identify the issue. Ultimately, rather than just go for the rebuild, they both said that the transmission is still surprisingly strong and they recommend not to touch it, but if I do experience a problem, take note of the situation and what I was doing, so they can try to replicate it. Now that was GREAT service. A transmission shop that didn't just go for the money, but gave me sound advice instead. Thank you Calvin and Jimmy! You know I'll be back when the trans does finally give up the ghost.

I was told by another transmission shop that does auto repair and transmission that my transmission…read morewas failing , most places don't want to work on my car because it is a problem car. I was surprised at the time it took to repair, they said a week, and once the work was started it was a week. The repair bill was far less than the other shop and I don't know how long I would have been without a car. The car gave me trouble after I got it, so I took it back. The mechanic looked at it and told me it was an air flow problem. I am very familiar with that term. The part was cleaned and I was told it might work, and it did for 2 days. I found a repair shop that was fair and the car seems to be running fine now. I don't blame the repair shops, my car is a problem car, but its the comfort and ease of getting into it that has me going to repair shops ,very few cars are senior sensitive.

I liked the automated texts that provided appointment reminders, a link to show the details of services performed along with pics, estimate, and ability to pay online.

The service was done quicker than expected. I will definitely be back for my regular maintenance.

I hope Rick has a good attorney! We pull into the shop and…read morehe's literally working on my car and we could see him before we turned into the driveway. I truly came being open, honest, and calm...he immediately skips pleasantries and just like other reviews mention, he was so upset about my review. He takes us to the car and blames me, talks down to me, mansplains to me about the amount of oil in my car! I checked it 3 times before it went to his lil shop and so did my boyfriend and there was hardly any oil on the dipstick! He checks the oil in front of us and there's suddenly a generous amount on the dipstick and he claimed to not have touched it! We literally saw you all up under the hood Rick! Are you okay?? With your handkerchief in hand...like please...just...stop. I kept my composure still and let him make a case for me. He hauls up my Mustang and her starter was just hanging down from the car! I immediately ask what that's about and he's like "oh I wanted you to see it". It's covered in oil and looks horrible and I doubt it the brightest idea to be lifting my car up and down like his personal elevator with the starter hanging like that! Is this some secret horror reality show?? Am I being punked? Is he Ashton Kutcher in disguise? Like this is madness and it gets worse! So there's a bunch of oil all over the undercarriage dripping still! It only took 3 trips for them to finally say there's a rear main seal leak!! $1,500! I ask for an estimate on the starter and he said it's totally fine! how?? I'm literally fighting back tears and ask him why he didn't he listen to what me and my boyfriend said about this exact leak from day 1?? He then gets so defensive and condescending to me and my poor mother! He blamed my mom after I had to take a moment aside to not lose my sh**. He gets on my mom, "what did you say to her??" All aggressive. He literally watched me walk away from where the three of us were standing! Why would he ask her that when he was standing right there and I walked away? When did she have a chance to "say something" to me? At this point we both are feeling uncomfortable and honestly unsafe with how he was acting. Car had issues on my way home. Mind you Rick said my car is safe to drive! He also told my mom that he has lots of other customers who are driving around all the time with oil leaks! But are they asthmatics with serious health problems breathing in emissions that could cause long term damage to them, the public, and the environment? I truly hope not. That's so dangerous. Rick calls me as I'm driving home to say something about him talking to his tech about the undercarriage and I asked to clarify if it was cleaned off at all or not and he said no so I hung up on him. He kept calling me and I didn't answer, I just was so disturbed by all this. He then sends 2 texts that contradict each other and don't even make sense! He also says he doesn't know 100% if there a rear seal oil leak!!! The next morning then claims there is a leak! I'll attach these texts. He also called my boyfriend who has no ownership over my car that I own the title to! What do they call men who disrespect women and force their will on them by not respecting clear boundaries of not wanting to communicate when I hung up on him?? Rick will do anything to avoid taking accountability for ANYTHING, he shifts blame on to customers, is defensive, aggressive, dishonest, gaslights, and as you see in the texts plays the victim. Classic traits of a narcissist so he definitely will not be able to prioritize the well being of his own business by taking care of his customers. I wish I had read these reviews before taking my car here. I will be making more reviews anywhere I can to warn people and I will update this again after my car is thoroughly inspected by an actual expert this week and further action started being taken before my car even left Rick's shop. My bf and inspected the car after all that and he went and cleaned the fresh pools of oils all over the transmission and above the starter. For my specific vehicle, a brake vacuum pump is the number one cause for oil in the starter and rear main seal leak is the last our 4 main causes for that happening. He only cleaned where the oil STILL leaking would be their fault from a poor repair and the timeline of new symptoms match that as well. He lied repeatedly and so defensively about not seeing the oil in those areas I mentioned and he even cleaned that all up! Then lied about cleaning it up! My bf and I found a chunk of wood lodged in to the exact part he wanted to over charge me on! I sent him a picture of it too and he conveniently didn't acknowledge it. Was that because you get so bitter about reviews Rick? Did you want to cause my car to have problems and put my safety in danger? It's so apparent in your loooong review responses to any bit of criticism or dissatisfied customers, hearing the uncomfortable truths bothers you. Just not enough to actually change sadly.
