Check engine light after i got home.

Been coming here for over 10 years. Uzed to have pretty decent service but within the last couple of years quality has degraded. My girlfriend brought her car in for a new starter, they put a bad starter on and her car was dead in the drove way nearly immediately and we had to pay out of pocket to get it back. I took my truck in for a break light problem, when i went to pick it up, same problem. The tech forgpt to connect some stuff, sure, things happen. This current experience, i brought my truck in for check a check engine light. Paid about 2 grand fpr the repairs they said it needed. When i went to pick it up, i saw a puddle of oil under my truck. I dont know how bad the seals were when I dropped them off, but it wasnt leaking and leaving marks. This stuffed drained. So i dropped another 2 grand on more repairs. Brought my truck home.and got that beautiful check engine light on again. They told me to bring it back, but i dont wanna keep givong them thousands of dollars to not fix my initial problem. They have lost my trust completely.

Cracked thermostat housing, they changed the water pump

The work they do is well done, they make a habit of not completing requested work. I requested my rocker arms and cams replaced, they only did a partial job. My wife's jeep came back from service with the check engine light still on after we specifically requested it be looked at. I took my work truck in for an inspection, oil change and because I was slowly loosing coolant. They inspected it, diagnosed and replaced the water pump and never did an oil change. I picked it up after hours and found the check engine light on. On the first trip I discovered the cooling issue was not resolved. The problem turned out to be a cracked thermostat housing. West Service Center merely said my guy has been doing this for twenty years and doesn't make mistakes. Just be aware and wary of unnecessary up-charges. We will not be using their services anymore.

I've received great service from Angelo's twice now. Once to replace a tire on my daily driver and…read moreagain to diagnose and fix a squeak on my classic car. From getting me in quickly, to fair pricing, to excellent customer service, Angelo's has been great to work with both times. I can't recommend them highly enough!

About a year ago, I brought my 06 honda civic to this shop because it wouldn't start. They…read morediagnosed the problem as a bad starter and charged me around $700 to replace it. After the repair, the car started and ran fine, so I assumed the issue had been fixed correctly. About a year later (yesterday), after getting off work, my car suddenly wouldn't start again. I had it inspected by two different repair shops. Both shops determined that the starter had not been installed properly. According to the mechanics, one of the starter mounting bolts had been installed crooked, stripping the threads in the transmission and preventing the starter from being properly secured. Knowing this, I am surprised my car didn't run into any issues sooner. One of the mechanics attempted to repair the problem but explained that the damaged threads could not simply be corrected because of the location of the starter. The intake manifold blocks direct access to it, meaning a significant amount of the engine bay now has to be disassembled before the damaged mounting hole can be rethreaded. As a result, the repair has turned into a much more expensive job. I assume Angelo didn't want to take this step (removing the intake and accessing it correctly), tried to install the starter with the manifold in the way, and installed one of the bolts crooked. This stripped the hole and is the reason I have my current problem. I'm now facing about $1,500 in towing, diagnostic fees, and repairs to correct work that should have been done properly the first time. I'm extremely disappointed. It's unfortunate I spent around $700 for an incorrectly installed starter that would end up costing me double the price to fix and several days away from work.

I know that and the car had been running and passing inspection since it was built. This auto repair shop saw a lady with out of state plates and maybe believed I didn't know anything about my car or wasn't instructed about cars, told me my whole passenger side tail light needed replacing. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the housing . Thing is Im aware about scions and I know that if it didn't come from the factory and the car has passed many times in the USA before then it's optional. I just needed to pass inspection in Virginia. I refused the offer, they got argumentative almost offended. I thanked them for their service of changing my other lights that's out and came back to my car to find a rejected sticker inside my windshield. Then I noticed a big scratch on the inside of my trunks plastic where the taillight housing is- hmmm. So basically if I don't let them rake me over the coals I get a rejection sticker huh and damage? I changed my own taillights later on and passed inspection the next day! No thank you.

I highly recommend!!!!!!They are very honest and explain in detail the issue. Most of the time when…read moreI go to auto shops it's intimidating but here they are friendly and welcoming. I bring all my vehicles here.

Brought my car in because I could see oil around the valve cover gasket. Asked them to look it over…read moreand verify. They charged me $30 to look at t and provided an a free vehicle look over on other things. They let me know that it was indeed leaking and found an additional leak. They sent me a quote and I was flabbergasted at the price. The first original leak repair was quoted for $2,700. They did find another leak that would cost me an additional $1500 to repair . Way more than I was planning. I talked to a gearhead at my work and he said absolutely do not pay that. He said they do this to women, unfortunately. I talked to two other local shops who quoted me for everything on the original repair for $800 and $1100. Those quotes were for everything 17th Street was going to do for $2,700. I hate that companies do this. The icing on the cake was that when I drove my car home, I popped the hood and they didn't even attach the cover to the motor. It was just laying cockeyed on the top. It makes me question what else they didn't reinstall after looking over my car.

Completely unacceptable, frustrating experience…read more I paid $1,338 for front brakes and calipers, and within six months I was still having braking issues. When I returned, they replaced only one front rotor under warranty. After a third visit for the same braking noise/vibration, I was told the problem was my rear brakes, even though those had been replaced only three months earlier at another shop. I then went to three independent shops, and all confirmed the real issue was a warped front rotor (the one not replaced the second time I brought it in). This should've been fixed the second or third time I brought it in. Instead they shifted blame to another shop, in which their work was confirmed to be fine. And for the price I paid, I shouldn't have had to bring it in multiple times for the same issue. Still after three visits and over $1,300 spent, my issue was still not properly fixed. The only good thing about this experience was that it was under warranty, and another shop was able to fix my brakes properly. I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before trusting this shop, and if possible save your time and go elsewhere.
