If I could give this place zero stars I MOST definitely would! I brought my car in LAST MONTH they told me I had to wait 2days for a part services were $200 and to bring it back Monday. On Monday I had my grandmother take it in because I had work I gave her my card then when I checked my statements they had charged me 288.79. I didn’t even complain I understand prices can vary! But here we are a month later having the same issue! I called them to tell them what I was experiencing which resulted in them calling the police on me. After he told me bring the car back in. He had the car for 5 minutes and called telling me it 500+ for the services he recommended when I said I was about to come pick it up he then said “ok $95 for diagnosing the vehicle” when I asked to see the diagnosis he said “pay $75 and just leave????” I refused both offers and he told me he’d call the police if I refused to pay and I sat down and I told him to call them then he said to “just pay $55.” After going back and forth 30 min. My dad convinced me to pay the $55 but when I tried to pay the $55 he spiked it back to $95 because I was “yelling at him” (mind you we were yelling at each other) I told him I’m trying to explain myself and get some understanding. He said I was “trying to tell him how to run his shop” I still refused to pay $95, and told him to call the police. He went and got his workers from the back they all came in. One of them eventually called the police. As he was on the phone with police the owner went back down to $55 while he was on the phone. I paid the $55 then STILL stayed. When the officer arrived they all went back in the shop leaving me to talk to Officer Ruiz who told me this happens at this shop all the time. So, I’m warning you all because I wish someone would have warned me!

Awesome experience with this shop!! They had very fair pricing and quickly were able to repair our car so that we could be on our way! Most definitely will choose them again!

I’m extremely disappointed with the service I received from this shop. We brought in a company vehicle to have the alternator replaced, and just 15 days later, we began experiencing additional issues due to improper grounding of the wiring—something that should have been handled correctly the first time. When we returned to have the problem assessed, Miguel informed us there would be a $400 diagnostic fee, even though the issue stemmed from the original repair. No additional work was performed, yet we were still assessed a charge. This experience has been frustrating and costly, and unfortunately, the vehicle remains unfixed. I cannot recommend this business based on our experience. Proceed with caution. I only gave it 1 review because it was mandatory in order to submit this review! #alleymechanic
