$14,000 quote to fix a 13 year old car. Totally unreasonable. Will never go back. Manager didn't return calls and saw no problem with such an outrageous quote. Are they just trying to s More

I am sorry if we did not offer a shuttle ride at any point during the day. We have a part time and full time shuttle driver as well as a partnership with Lyft to get our customers to and from where ever they need to go throughout the day. We are usually very diligent about asking each customer if they need a ride at the time of their appointment as well as an option when scheduling online for a shuttle. We will continue to make sure we offer it to everyone.

2 weeks to fix an oil leak. Over $2500 Spent on first two "leaks" but would have been much more if I didn't argue price. They claim they found a 3rd oil leak. Yeah sure guys. More
