I…read moreunexpectedly had to leave town, which was super convenient since my car had just started giving me some problems. After calling multiple shops, Bion's was the only place that could fit me in on such short notice. Not only was the staff very helpful and friendly, but they also fixed the problems with my car very quickly. Cost ended up being far less than I expected. Fair prices and a reputable, honest company that won't take advantage of you by draining your wallet. I would definitely recommend.

I was extremely dissatisfied with my service and do not suggest anyone go here…read more A friend of mine was in La Crosse with my car. I was camping in North Carolina. Unfortunately, my car took this moment to have a transmission failure. My friend towed my car to Bion's because they were a Mom and Pop kinda shop and she trusted them more. The diagnoses was that my transmission had leaked dry possibly due to a gasket or cap leak. Inspection, replacement, and flush were all quoted at $900 by Randy. I had always been told that transmission flushes are slightly dangerous for transmissions because they may jar sediment or impurities lose, only to get that sediment stuck somewhere else in the mechanism resulting in damage. Randy assured me that this would not be an issue and that I "would be taken care of." The next morning, the repairs were inexplicably jacked up to $1,300. The transmission was sticking in 4th and my new mechanic, Mike, didn't know why. He examined my transmission fluid and noted there was a lot of "metal fragments" in it and he didn't know why. Mike also said that if I wanted him to find the problem it would be at least 6 hours of labor for him to inspect my transmission. I want to take the time here to explain I could have ordered a used transmission for less than $1,300. The next day Mike said my car was running fine, and that I should probably replace the transmission. I requested an invoice of the service, and Mike said that he nor Randy new how to scan anything to email me. Here are my concerns: Shouldn't your mechanic accurately diagnose a problem before pouring your money into costly repairs? Shouldn't that mechanic also accurately quote his price? If the inaccuracy of service and failure to meet expectations results in a 45% cost increase, would you prefer the service representative offered to rectify the situation or at least talk to you again? Shouldn't these master mechanics, these tamers of technology, these wielders of wrenches, these kings of combustion... know how to scan a piece of paper into a PDF? TLDR; Cost me $1,300 to get my car to my regular mechanic for further repairs. Expectations not met. I was extremely dissatisfied with my service and do not suggest anyone go here.

It just never shifted right after the transmission was replaced. I thought it was a fluke. Shame on me! The second one was not even needed. I found out later at a different repair shop that the fix was a $100 fix, not a $5,000 fix. And Don's Repair was HORRIBLE to deal with. The price they gave me on the phone was $500 less than what they charged me. Of course they said there were extra costs once they got into the process. In the end, it would have been cheaper to have the dealer replace my transmission (but I didn't even need a replacement). Total fraud. DO NOT GO HERE.

As a young female, I am always nervous about taking my car in for repairs because I feel like I have a target on my back to be screwed over by auto repair people- completely not the case here. They fixed exactly what was wrong with my car at a reasonable price and didn't try to sell me anything extra. Not to mention that the staff, from the receptionist to the mechanics, were incredibly warm and friendly. I would definitely take my car to Bob's again.

The brakes made a squealing sound after the install. They said that's just dirt on the pads, wouldn't damage anything and would go away with use. It's my wife's car, so I seldom drive it. Drove it the other day and the squealing was really loud. Brake jobs are expensive. Since this is their fault for doing a sloppy, unprofessional job, you would think they'd had me bring it back in to inspect and repair it to make the job right. Unfortunately, this is not how they do business here. More or less told me it was my problem. I used to take this vehicle here for oil changes also. After two oil changes, had warning lights come on before even getting home after each one. Seems they forgot to hook some wires back up from doing the oil change. Not exactly a confidence builder. Quality of work here is obviously not a priority. I could mention a few other problems I have had with this place, but I think you get the picture.

From the courtesy inspection they told me I had an oil leak from timing case in addition to a bunch of other things . i opted to have the oil leak fixed as I felt that was likely to get worse and could lead to a bigger problem down the road. About 3 months later , I bring the car back for an oil change and they again do this courtesy inspection. In addition to about $3500 in repairs that I felt were fairly common for the age of the car- they recommended that I get the oil leak on the timing case repaired. I advised that it should not be leaking as they had just repaired. They had me bring it back to have it looked at, where they determined that nothing was leaking. My concern is of course- did it ever need to be repaired in the first place? My trust in this shop is now gone , and I find it very annoying to be given an inspection for $5500 in repairs everyone I bring my 14 year old car in for a damn oil change. If you have an older car , I would think twice about bringing it to this shop.
