Recently this car passed 100k miles and threw a code that the manufacturer locked behind a paywall. In short order, Mechanic OC diagnosed this (free of charge) and directed us to the manufacturer. It then took that manufacturer two days to diagnose/clear their own code! Once the car was returned to us, we brought it right back to Mechanic OC to complete the 100k service interval with a smile!

Once he had our car taken apart, he had us trapped. The prices Rob promised kept going up, and the stories became more questionable. He miraculously found a low cost transmission in Sun Valley. He sent us to pick it up, which we see now was a set up. When we delivered it, he found it was damaged. Both he and the parts seller claimed we damaged it. It just got worse from there. Rob is a very charming guy, but a total scam artist. His real goal is to destroy your car and then offer to buy it dirt cheap. STAY AWAY.

I had the car parked for 2-3 weeks after, Massive trans fluid / power steering fluid leak. They worked on both, could have been either. I called back to see if they could readdress the issues that were just worked on. I was then explained that the previous owner had left and there was a new CA BAR number and they had no responsibility to repair it but they would look at it and possibly assist. So I towed it over and they proceeded to quote me 2500 more to fix the things they were supposed to fix previously. I don't know if these guys are working a scheme to get new owners in every couple years so they can't be sued. Its just a shame that they are the reason you have a hard time trusting repair shops.
