I can't believe this is my first review — I’ve been coming here since I got my car 9 years ago! The team is always friendly, professional, and trustworthy. I’m usually in and out in one day, which I really appreciate. They consistently provide great service and make the whole process easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!

I really wanted this to be my local repair shop. Unfortunately Hugh’s has the best problem a shop can have, too many clients. I made the mistake of attempting to bring in a $10 coolant bleeder to be replaced while I was having some engine issues. I could tell they were annoyed I bought the part myself and didn’t want to deal with me if it had issues down the road, which is understandable. My main issue was when I received the estimate to fix my Q60 issue idling. They quoted me $1900 to replace six injectors, install my provided coolant bleeder, and flush the coolant.The quote had 6 injectors at $160 a piece. A whole set of six on any reputable parts site is only $300. Either they can’t get reasonable parts, which I highly doubt given their workload. Or they decided I wasn’t worth dealing with and they were going to rip me off or get me to leave. Paid a $220 diag fee which included $20 of shop supplies, which I found odd for what was done. I had my car fixed myself in less than an hour with a single $50 OEM Hitachi injector. Including their overpriced diag I spent $280 to fix what they quoted me $1900. I have a good friend that’s used them for years and their prices are fair when I’ve seen his invoices. These guys are clearly good, just hope they like you or they’ll have no qualms about ripping you off. I’ll keep going to my trusted mechanic on the other side of town, worth the drive for honesty.

Had car towed there at 11AM. They took all day to add 2 gallons of water to radiator. They said the assessment was $189. Yet with “taxes” I was charged $250 for 2 gallons of water. They also quoted $1300 for just a water pump. I took it to EJ’s auto which I should have done in the 1st place. Their assessment is $75 and Catalina always gives options for parts pricing. Rick got an attitude when asked just about any question. Overpriced mysoginistic auto care is not something we are into.
