You have to consider yourself really lucky to run into people they can eyeball your car and know exactly what to do and speak real genuine English to you about your car. They normally teach you about it but they help you and they give you the best possible suggestions that’s why I came here had issues with my rear tires. They were able to hook me up with Samir, but give me some helpful suggestions. Check my brakes and let me know in less than 10 minutes. What I needed to do. This is the place to come to. You can get smog checked here you can do alignment you can do all kinds of things break tuneups and they could even hook you up for a diagnostic.
Came in to get an alignment they told me that I needed a new ball joint and both uper and lower controll arm. He them charged me for the diagnostic so I asked him what peace or what part was broken and if he can show me. Since he had told me my vehicle was in dier need ASAP. Otherwise he couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't be aline. Anyways he refused to elaborate his diagnostic to me I payed him and I took the car to a mechanic that I know and he showed me that the tire rod had a little bit damage but it would stop someone from a tire alignment. I ended taking it to another tire shop and they did the alignment and ended up telling me that one rod was bad. This shop wanted to charge me $2,600 for a peace that was completed fine and would cost at most $100
Honestly, this place was a complete disappointment. I’m 18 and went in to get my brakes changed — the guy told me it would cost $240 total, and I agreed. My mom and I waited for three hours, and they only had about three cars being worked on, so it’s not like they were super busy. We thought my car was being serviced, but then the guy came back and said he was just checking the car and hadn’t even replaced the brakes. What made it worse is that he still charged me $130 for something I never asked for or authorized. On top of that, he suddenly tried to say that changing the brakes would cost $700, even though he first said $240 — basically trying to add an extra $500 out of nowhere. It really feels like they take advantage of people, especially when they see someone young. They overcharge,
Avoid this place at all costs whatsoever. Around this time last year, the flywheel went out on my Porsche 944 turbo (951). Unable to find any mechanic whatsoever in a 45 miles radius who would work on the car, I decided to take a gamble on eddy and boys here. At first they looked like an honest small mechanic shop, however that couldn’t be further from the truth. After doing a full inspection on the vehicle, I was quoted for around $15,000 in various repairs. These included -new clutch kit -new engine mounts -new water pump -new timing belt -new fuel pump -new cam housing gasket -new alternator and power steering belts Now most of this list seemed correct as regular maintenance for this vehicle every decade or so and was all soon to be due anyway. Nothing raised any alarms at all. Howev
Hahaha what a joke of an experience wasted time and money at brake and stop.. icalled to see if they can help me eddie said yea ill check it out right now , I waited 4 hours to get diagnosed on leaking coolant which i was charged 80 bucks for. "Repair" would of been 350 the parts are way less than 100 bucks more like 50 bucks. I go home eddie didnt even put the radiator cap back on, my cars smoking from coolant all over the hot engine..last time they get any money from me, what a shame but i got the bad mechanic vibe at first sight though so its my fault..i would rate 0 stars if i could..dont waste TIME OR MONEY at brake n stop..they should just stop..NO I DONT FEEL BAD POSTING THIS
