The boss was apparently away, which might explain this, might not…read more So the vehicle ends up with one of those advertising border things around the rear license plate. If we wanted to rent out ad space to them, we'd have informed them in advance, and set a fee for doing so. But a bolt was snapped, so the unforgivable thing was to get the advertising bolted on, they drilled FOUR NEW HOLES through the body of the car. Photos taken just in case. As we don't want to deal with an insurance deductible, I'm going to seal up those four holes myself. As for the snapped-off bolt? I, an amateur with home tools, was able to drill it out using an ordinary drill and some cutting fluid in about 10 minutes, how is this beyond the skill of a professional mechanic? A closer look at the bill reveals they charged $44 to do this on top of the things that were actually asked for. $5 was for parts... the ad itself maybe?! Or was it for the 4 masonry screws they punched through the body of the car. Addendum: They admit fault, will even pay up (but only after the reviews come down), but won't offer an explanation for how it happened, nor any guarantee that they won't do it to someone else. He even gave some song and dance about how the ads are normal business practice (which they sort of are for the more desperate outfits, but they really should ask first since there's an actual dollar value to advertising - doubly so if they have to put holes through your car to do it). Zero explanation for why auto mechanics couldn't drill out a snapped bolt, had they had this skill we wouldn't even be talking about this, I'd have just quietly removed the ad that had been screwed into the official mounts. So the bad reviews stay up unless they can come up with some explanation and guarantee, that's the whole point of reviews, to spare future customers the aggravation.

Horrible Shop! Shop owner is total "used car" salesman not a mechanic! Took my vehicle here for a…read morefew years. Kept needing the same thing done over and over again. So instead of finding the problem and fixing it, they put a band aid on the problem till the next time... They will always find something to fix. The owner also likes to belittle people in his shop. Saying things like, let me put this in terms "you might understand". Very inappropriate. I see other reviews mentioning that they put a ad plate around license plates (without permission), that are almost impossible to remove. I have vowed to tell anyone that needs car work done, not to go here.

The truck went 193 miles before the transmission seized. From what I know now I'm so thankful it was not towed back to the shop we had the transmission repaired and it ended up in the hands of Mark and Owen at L&D transmission. I must say Mark and Owen were very professional and upfront with us what to expect and genuinely concerned for us in the situation we were in. I felt very at ease knowing they were doing the repairs to rebuild our transmission the way it should have been done from the beginning. THANK YOU, THANK YOU Mark and Owen I can't thank you enough for your honesty, professionalism and kindness. Gina Proctor and Wilfred Letourneau

They're friendly, helpful and honest! If we didn't live in Richmond these guys would be our mechanic.
