Scott B.

Rather than re-type my entire horror story out again, I'm going to copy and paste my Google review I left for the shop, and modify as applicable. Dishonest, disorganized, and disrespectful. That's the short summary of my experience. I am going to highlight a few of the most important problems I experienced: On two separate occasions, they installed parts from my engine onto other customer's vehicles. First the alternator mount, second the clutch pressure plate. They also took several pulleys and wires that I had to insist he replace. Twice Bruce assured me that my engine was completed and ready for pickup. Two times I drove from Santa Rosa to Daly City, and both times, my engine was still disassembled. On the first occasion, several days after I attempted to pick it up, he started texting me that my pistons were scoring their cylinders because the engine was overheating, and that my fan was faulty. Again, this was after the thing was "already repaired." He refused to tell me which pistons were having the problem, and refused to provide pictures to confirm what was wrong. On the second occasion, after confirming multiple times that the engine was complete and ready for pick up, it was disassembled when I arrived - actually, more disassembled than the first time. As you can see, it's half-assembled and the remaining parts were given to me in a jumbled mess in a box. It wasn't until AFTER I forced him to reassemble the engine - by literally following him around the shop shouting at him I wasn't leaving until he finished the job - that he informed me that my pressure plate was missing and he had a replacement part on its way. I was also missing the pulley and wheel for my alternator and had to insist on getting that back as well. I still don't know for sure if I have all the parts I need. The shop is a disgusting, disheveled mess. There is a blatant disregard for spilling oil, spraying paint, and leaving trash and spare parts all over the shop, parking lot, and street. Customer vehicles are parked in a jumbled mess, often blocking at least one of the two lanes of traffic. Bruce assured me that the work would be completed within a week. It took almost three months, and I only got it back - disassembled - when I did because I had to resort to texting and/or calling him every day to get updates. He never once apologized for all of the stress, all of the lies, all of the mistakes, nor the two trips down to discover a disassembled engine. I had the car at the shop because he did the original rebuild. I was getting lots of metal flakes in my engine oil. It's been nearly a year, and I still can't get the engine to run properly to confirm whether this original problem was ever even addressed. I've had a friend who rebuilds VWs help me, and he can't solve it either - our best guess at this point is that the cam or crank was installed incorrectly, because when TDC is set correctly, it won't fire... but when it's off by about 60-90 degrees, it will run, if poorly. Obviously, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you never work with these incompetent and untrustworthy people. If you, like two of the clients who witnessed my debacle while picking up the engine the second time insisted, have no alternative other than to go to Tassi, I would recommend the following: Take everything off or out of your vehicle that does not have to be in it, because it's unlikely you're going to get everything back. Take detailed pictures of everything that you do take to the shop, so you have records of what you left, because obviously, it's clear that you're not getting your vehicle or engine back with all the parts it needs. Your car will be "stored" on the street. Allow Tassi to work on your vehicle at your own risk. I deeply regret choosing to work with him.

Gave Tassi a second chance and they did me right, my car was running rough and getting horrible gas mileage. After self diagnose I believed it to be bad valves. So after ordering all the parts I needed I took my 73 to Tassi and talked to Bruce who gave me estimates on labor and any parts I might need. After all said and done my car running good again, just took back for post maintenance on top end rebuild. I usually try and do things myself but no lift and being busy at my workplace I needed help, and Bruce did his best to keep me in budget.

This is my go-to local auto parts store! They have everything I need, and a big check-out counter…read moreat the back with knowledgeable staff ready to answer any of my questions. This store also accepts any auto oil you don't need. This morning I dropped off some unopened oil bottles since my new car doesn't take the older grade I had. They also have good deals on gallon-sized bottles of windshield washer fluid, which I come here exclusively to buy. So glad this store is right in my neighborhood and I'll continue coming back as long as I live here in Daly City!

How many O'Reilly Employees does it take to change a headlight bulb?…read more Seem this one technician needed to lie to me as he was finishing the alternator tester with another customer in the parking lot. I asked him nicely... Can I use the battery tester since I'm right here and I want to return the core of the test passes. He lied and said, a customer was ahead of me and was waiting in the store to do the Free Battery, Alternator, Starter test. So I went in the store and didn't find anybody needing the tester. Instead I found the one lady waiting for somebody to help her change her headlight bulb. I said, you just twist the back. But this same technician took it upon himself to leave me in the store while he helped this lady change her lightbulb. After four(4) other customers received help and left the store. I looked at the Manager and told him I'll be back, seems your technician needs more time to change one lightbulb. The manager walked outside and there was the technician still changing the one lightbulb. So I went to the next O'Rileys. Seems the first store called the next store, because I got the same treatment with the next guy. He told me after he didn't look up for 10 minutes and finished his paperwork and then took several phone calls while I waited. Then he said... they can do a bench test of my alternator. Bring it in and I'll test it in the back. I said.... You want me to pull my alternator, starter and battery so you can test it on your bench? Or can you just bring your alternator test machine and connect the positive and negative leads to my battery and run a test.... I wanted to make sure the alternator core I JUST Installed and make sure you didn't sell me a defective alternator. Finally I got pushed to the manager for help. The manager took him a long time to come out and he was helping another customer while I waited. but once he connected the two leads to my battery. He said.... It passed. So 90 minutes later after two different stores, two different reps, and two different managers. I was able to return my old alternator core and get my $40 back which should have taken 5 minutes. Bunch of idiots working there, best to just buy online or go to another parts store.

Whenever I am missing or forgetting a part or in a rush for a replacement, this AutoZone location…read morein Daly City never failed me. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly, as they always help me find what I need quickly, especially during my DIY car repair projects. The employees usually recognize me, as I come here often for auto parts, car wash supplies, and other car items, which makes the experiences feel more personal. Just keep in mind the staff aren't mechanics, so don't expect them to diagnose, fix, or install items on your car, they're experts to sell parts, loan tools, and offer advice to help you do it yourself. The staff are usually going out of their way to help customers work on their cars in rare occasions. The store is well-organized and stocked, they tend to be on the pricier side and don't price match online stores with the exception of O'Reilly, which is usually the same price. That's pretty expected at auto parts stores, though when you're paying for the convenience of getting parts immediately. If you need to get back on the road in an emergency, I would definitely pay extra to get the part right away. I also bring my used motor oil and oil filters here for recycling. While many reviewers complain about customer service and taking empty motor containers is not their responsibility. If you want reliable parts fast with helpful staff and don't mind doing the work yourself, this is a solid spot in Daly City to buy auto parts. There is also plenty of parking available in their private lot.
