I'm a do-it-yourself-er on everything with my vehicles. However as I learned here in VA, State…read moresafety inspections is something you are unable to perform yourself, and need to trust a certified shop with the keys to your vehicle to perform the inspection for you. So I took on my girlfriends Chevy Sonic for the State-Inspection. Granted this place is about two minutes from where I live. I'm giving them a five star rating due to the awesome customer service. They even brought me home as they were a bit booked and would be a few hours before getting to the car for inspection. The only down vote I would give, is the up-sell attempt of a cabin air-filter replacement for $59.99. Most filters are about $20 and take less then twenty seconds to install. But I suppose they are just trying to make a profit to keep the lights on. So I will not penalize a star from them. Over all great and quick experience. Will likely bring my tires to mount on my wheels when needed.

Update: 4 months later and during my state inspection, the mechanic found my coolant was extremely…read morelow. After a pressure test, the issue was the exact hose Firestone replaced... Come to find out, the heater hose that had been replaced wasn't even on correctly!! It was sliding on and off and would not click into place. I don't know if the gave me the wrong size hose, a faulty hose, or just didn't care enough to do it correctly, but there's no reason why it should break within 4 months. The reason I didn't fully dump coolant was because the hose expands when the car runs, so it creates a good seal. When it cools, since it wasn't on right, my car slowly leaked coolant over several months. I'm so glad that I ended up only paying 220 for this hose, because the original quote was over $600. If I had paid over 600 to get a hose that would break in less than a year, I'd be furious. I am still pretty upset because my mechanic thinks that Firestone just forced the hose to fit on there when it shouldn't have been. I will not take my car here again, that's for sure!

First I will concede that 98% of what occurred was my fault because I broke my cardinal rule of…read moregetting on the road without doing my maintenance. My MINI, just shy of 130K, inhales oil these days so the 8000-10000k recommended interval between oil changes is LAUGH OUT LOUD hysterical. I'm getting 4K at best. At. Best. We had some last minute business to take care of in VA Wednesday morning and my Tuesday was swamped. There was no way I could get the car to my trusted mechanic for an oil change. I was miffed about this since the maintenance countdown was at around 800 miles when I left. Still, I reasoned that I could just take care of it in VA (and secretly prayed I wouldn't get the low oil warning while on the highway). We made it into town fine. Last night on a 4th meal run the dang low oil light came on (3,000 miles since my last oil change mind you smh) and I said welp I'll just get an oil change anyway instead of topping it off. Now, I've only had dealer changes under maintenance plan or at my actual mechanic so living like the proletariat and going to a quickie lube service did not bring me joy. The $15 off full synthetic coupon did. As did the fact that I could sit in the car in my jammies. Ahem. I pulled up and was in the service bay within 10-15 minutes. This is when the fun started. No one could get my hood open. It's basically just a double tap on the hood once I pop it from inside. At one point there were 5 people trying to get it open. Hello - doesn't anyone YouTube??? During this roundabout the mulberry bush that was the bonnet, someone else asked where is the brake fluid? Like--- I was asked about all the services that don't actually need to be done and declined natch. Then I was told my front wipers were fine (they aren't, they're shredded like cheese) but the back one was "a little flat." It's actually perfect. I bet if I did a price comparison on front vs back wipers id fine something interesting... Again, I declined. Oil change is complete and I roll off only to see that the service light wasn't reset. So then I rolled back around lol. At one point my brother texted me "dude just get the hell out of there." That said, the employees were nice. I don't see too many MINIs in this rural town and experience is the best teacher so I guess they were learning on the fly. I was hype about the total $104 price for a full synthetic oil change. MINI and my guy typically take me behind the woodshed for $130-$140. But they also know where the brake fluid is sooooo. The real test will be if I make it the 500 miles back home unscathed. I will say though it rides like butter now, so something went right.

Stay away. I went in for a simple muffler replacement (verified by 2 other shops). They quoted me…read more$250 & said they had the muffler in stock. When I arrived, Steve said he had it put on a lift and they "discovered" that all of the pipes and joints were so rusty, that he was afraid that when he started cutting into it, that basically the entire undercarriage would have to be replaced : large rear muffler, large front muffler, the small muffler we spoke about, ALL the piping and "probably more". I asked how much and was told "at least $1200". They said they'd order the parts for the next day. When I left, I could hear odd knocking on the bottom and the smell of exhaust in the front cabin that wasn't there before, or ever. I called back the next day to report this and was blown off with "ma'am, you have an exhaust leak and the knocking you are hearing is because you probably drove over something". I knew then they were not on the up and up, so I played along and asked if my parts came in. They said yes, all but one. I asked what they were missing and was told "a part". He kept saying "just a part" but would not tell me WHAT part. Finally I was forceful and told him I needed the name of "the part". . Steve finally said, the Catalytic Converter. Horses***!. He said I needed that too. Tack on another several hundred dollars, plus labor. Scammers! I took it somewhere else the next morning, and the only thing it needed was the muffler, parts & labor $95. I've heard of stories like this, but, wow, the level of deception was criminal.

great guys, and reasonable prices and upfront and honest…read moreFixed a problem that I was left with from another local memchanic
