Have taken my old European car there, esp. after the dealer told me it "wasn't leaking coolant"…read morealthough I saw coolant drips on the driveway, and had to keep adding coolant. Twice at the dealer, and they basically told me there wasn't a problem. Peter B worked on it, and said the issue is the hose size -- metric vs. US. If someone uses a US hose, it will be not be exactly right, and will leak once the car heats up and everything is at pressure. No more problems after Peter B worked on it. Also took my older Camry there, and asked about my newer Camry. Peter B (ie, the phone staff) was upfront about things they can work on, and things they don't. They are very busy, and I prefer to know this information before booking an appointment for 6 weeks in the future. So, I think is a time saver to have a thorough discussion on the phone at Peter B. (I hate these webforms dealers are using now -- there's a) no place to record specific issues, they basically only want a simple job, like a 40k checkover, etc. and b) dealer service intake staff never read the webform anyway. So what's the point?) The phone staff at Peter B is very knowledgeable, too.

I had called around town for estimates, but four other places were either unable or unwilling to look under the carpet for water. The estimate I was given at Long's for detailing alone was about 30% higher than all the other places I called. However, everyone I spoke to there was very friendly, and focused on providing the best service possible. They were all willing to take the time to listen to me, to ask questions, and to explain exactly what they would do to determine the location of the problem, and to resolve it. I ended up leaving my car at the shop for three days, but Rudy explained all the reasons for this, and I trusted his judgment. When I went to pick up my car, it looked fantastic and smelled great. They took the trouble to explain to me the efforts that they had made to locate the source of the leak on the roof, and the fact that they had had to remove more than four gallons of water and ice from under the floorboards. They removed all the water, dried the padding, cleaned the carpet, and sealed the leak. They actually undercharged me for all this work and when I told them this, they said, "We want the customer to be happy." Because of their conscientious attention to detail, their expertise, and their exemplary work ethic, they basically saved me thousands of dollars in future repairs and rust damage treatment. I am very grateful to this establishment. I can highly recommend the services of Long's Garage to everyone without reservation.

Odd, never heard a sound from the rear as is symptomatic. Went to my usual mechanic for this & another issue. We looked together (as ever) & both bushings are in fine working order. Maybe the mechanic meant a different part? Or someone else's bushings are failing? Research shows women pay ~$5k more than men over the life of their cars. Add the amount men are overcharged & hoodwinked out of, etc.. & that comes to more than a few boat payments. *** UPDATE I was called in the morning, saving me a trip & they refunded my money. I expect remaining vouchers like mine will be honored without challenge through 12/13/24. I appreciate the kind prompt, fair, kind, response greatly, and am reassured all is back to normal @ Kirby Firestone. I like to frequent small local family owned businesses, with the hope they thrive better when not working for THE MAN, and bonus, they often have friendly helpful employees with low turnover who occasionally remember you ;-) I write reviews primarily in hopes of ameliorating the issue and making sure nothing of the sort should happen again. Only as a desperate measure, are my reviews meant to warn others, so at least they don't have to go through what I have. I keep trying to lower my expectations so I'm not disappointed, but I can't seem to get them low enough :-/ *** I have no issue with the mechanics, or with Josh behind the counter, but today, there was a different guy @ the counter. I've been coming here for years w/ oil change coupons & always been satisfied with the service. I even bought oil changes for friends the last time they went on sale. Today, I came in for an oil change and diagnostics- both covered by the voucher (see photo), as seen on their website. Upon my return, I was offered a bill (see photo) that took $25 off an oil change and charged $153.69 for the diagnostic. He said he saved me $ by only charging 1 hour. I expected to pay a $3 oil disposal fee and apparently was also responsible for the cost of the oil filter (reminder: ask their $ and maybe bring one next time). I was told there was ONLY a coupon for $25 off an oil change, despite presenting the voucher for the oil change, tire rotation, full inspection and diagnostic on paper and online, exp. 12/13/24. He then said my 2008 Prius takes 0w30 oil, which is not stock oil and per the fine print is $20 off. I found this surprising because no one has ever mentioned non-stock oil or 0w30 to me in my years of owning this car. He shrugged and bilked me. Upon returning to my car, I thought 0w30, that's VERY odd, and then noticed on the invoice, 5w30 was billed. Back to the counter. Oh, he says he only charged me for 5w30, (so generous). Then why was I charged $24.95 for the oil change (do their oil filters cost $21.95)? He walks me to my car giving me a lesson on different kinds of oil, as I'm telling him, the owner's manual says to use 5w30, he's still talking about viscosity and lighter vs. darker color. Under the hood he goes, comes out with the dipstick, shows it to me, yep, looks darker than 0w30, and hey, btw they write RIGHT ON the OIL CAP 5W30. He starts to walks back to the building, when I ask, wait, but, if I received stock oil (5w30 is stock, right?) why was I charged for more than the disposal fee and filter for the oil change? I already paid for the oil change voucher, I didn't feel like paying twice. His response: Talk to Josh tomorrow. Sounds GREAT! I know Josh, he's always been helpful. Never had any trouble with coupons with him. So, fingers crossed, I get to invest more time and effort and frustration to try and settle a simple oil change and diagnostic I'm being billed for twice. How many oil changes could have been done in the time I'm spending fixing this SNAFU? Hmm... the guy behind the counter didn't even mention the mechanics's note that the RR trailing arm bushing is coming apart and LR starting as well. OR that the fender distortion was damaging the tire! THAT information actually would have been HELPFUL new info, compared to what he said about the car (explained the diagnostic codes they could do nothing about), especially since I PROVIDED the diagnostic codes & had already both been told what they meant & I researched them. What ELSE WASN'T passed to me from the mechanic?!

I brought my BMW in because it was losing coolant, and I ended up having to bring the car back three separate times for the same issue. On my first visit, they told me the Heat Management Module (HMM) was the problem and needed to be replaced. I paid around $1,100, and they had my car for about two weeks. The part that really confused me was what happened right after I picked it up. I live only about 3 miles away from the shop. I drove straight home, parked the car, and noticed it was already leaking coolant again. Actually, the leak looked significantly worse than it did before I brought the car in. This made me question how the car was tested after the repair. I understand that not every problem is easy to diagnose, but I only drove about 3 miles after picking it up. If it was already leaking that badly when I got home, I don't understand how this wasn't noticed before the car was returned to me. So I brought it back a second time. This time they told me the coolant reservoir cap was the problem and replaced it for around $70. The coolant loss still continued. I brought it back for a third time, and this time they finally found a physical leak/hole in a coolant pipe. But while they were diagnosing the car, another coolant line broke during their inspection. They explained to me that the line was brittle and that it broke while they were checking the area with a mirror. I understand that older parts can become brittle, but what really bothered me was that I was still expected to pay around $200 to repair a line that broke while they were inspecting my car. They also recommended replacing the water pump for roughly $1,000. Just to be clear, I did NOT have the water pump replaced at this shop. Another thing that concerned me was the coolant itself. Different colored coolants were added to my car at different times. When I asked about mixing different coolants, I was basically told, "coolant is coolant" and that mixing them was fine. I also later asked about the diagnosis for the original $1,100 HMM replacement. I wanted to see the diagnostic code or some documentation showing why the HMM was determined to be the cause of the coolant loss, but I was never provided with a clear code or evidence showing that it was actually causing the leak. I'm not writing this because I expect car repairs to be cheap. My problem is that I paid around $1,100 for the first repair, drove only 3 miles home and found the car leaking even worse, brought it back multiple times for the same problem, and then had another coolant line break during their inspection and was still expected to pay around $200 for that repair. I understand that diagnosing coolant problems can sometimes be difficult and that older parts can be brittle. But after my experience, I would definitely recommend getting a second opinion before approving an expensive repair here. I would also ask for the actual diagnostic codes or test results and make sure the car was properly tested before taking it back. For reference, I attached pictures. The first picture shows the relatively small coolant leak I had before bringing the car to the shop. The second picture was taken after their first $1,100 repair, when I drove about 3 miles home and found a much larger amount of coolant leaking underneath the car. I'm just sharing what happened with my car and what I was told during these visits.
