If you're looking for PARTS CHANGERS , you have found the right place . I took my truck into their shop after having my check engine light come on. After paying them over $ 500. In labor and spending over $ 600 in parts . The check engine light is still coming on and putting the same codes as it was previously doing. Not only that but while it was in their shop I was told the EGR valve wasn't working and while they were attempting to remove it and the pipe attached to the valve they twisted and damaged the pipe. Now the engine is NO GOOD because the pipe they damaged is no longer available and they REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGING IT. I asked the owner AL to fix their da…
Quoted me 120. To press a bearing, as I’m walking away he says, “ don’t hold me to it though.” meaning it might go up. I told him, if you can’t do it for 120, don’t do it. I’m not an idiot but I had no choice. My daughter needed her car. I’m mechanically inclined and know how to do repairs. I was just in a hard spot. All other people were closed or their press was broken. They charge 40.00 to do the job. While Lorenzo likes to overcharge . Go elsewhere, you’ll save money. I’m not saying they’re not good mechanics, I’m saying he over charges by a long shot
Just finished up getting help from Al's shop! They helped me out when I was going to attempt to change my car's spark plugs and ignition coils! I am so so happy Al jumped in to help!
Dispite the bad reviews, this automotive shop does good and honest work, it’s not a performance shop so don’t expect too high but for simply fixing problems it is a good mechanic shop. I’ve taken both my cars and almost always manage to make it out the shop with a good running car. Ps. Some people fail to realize that there 💩box will have regular ware and tare and 90 percent of the time will just blame the mechanics.
So I brought it in to have the gaskets removed and replaced which would need for them to take off the valve covers timing cover then the heads. I broke it down to them before I left so they know what to do aside from the work I’ve already done to it. I explained to them it heated up on me and I bypassed the heater core with a hose and had pointed it out then they asked me where the bypass and what did it do? Red flag number 1 ! Later that day they call to ask what size motor I had in the vehicle red flag number 2 ! They hid the head gaskets from me and never checked to see where the real problem was coming from. The heads or the block Red Flag number 3 ! I told them I didn’t want to replace…
