Took car in to get struts assembly and sway bar link replaced and alignment. The shop called later in the evening and said they couldn’t do alignment because drivers side tie rod outer was rusted really bad. We had just had both replaced not too long ago so I didn’t believe him. Went in the morning and he was still charging for an alignment that he said couldn’t be completed because of the tie rod. I told him it was just done not too long ago. I called O Reilly and the part was still under warranty so we just had him replace it. Later in the day went and picked it up and got the old part to take back to O Reillys so I wouldn’t get charged. The part still looks brand new. The boot was damaged, it looks like when they took the tool to take the tie rod off when changing struts the guy ripped

Took my vehicle in for a failed smog inspection. Check engine light on. Took two weeks. The vehicle was a 2001 Mercedes 320 SLK. They kept increasing the price as the vehicle remained at the shop. The things they said they did I don’t believe after just leaving the Mercedes dealership. My final cost was $1600 . Intake manifold Gasket, hoses, and cracked some other B.S. they claimed. Passed smog. I think they used it as an excuse to rob me. I will never go back to this place for any type of service. Please beware of these money hungry crooks. They Gerryrigged my vehicle to pass smog. Now the check engine light is back on. Now I am in the same predicament that I was in before I started. They changed me $1590 to pass smog with repairing the actual problem. No good criminals. Please do not tru

The care and careful checking of all parts of my car was greatly appreciated. Johnny, the manager, made sure that I was fully aware of all that needed to be done to keep my car safe(l drive a 1990 Miata) and on the road. He was very thoughtful and helped make a long time more bearable. I would strongly recommend Hal's for all of your auto needs.

Johnny was amazing, he gave me quick AND competitive quotes over the phone! A tremendous help, I would highly recommend asking for him if you have questions or if youre looking for budget friendly quotes.
