I must strongly advise you to avoid trusting or doing business with Bruce European Auto Repair. My personal experience with this establishment has been nothing short of a nightmare. I brought my car in for transmission repairs, and it has been a never-ending saga of lies, incompetence, and broken promises. Here's a detailed account of the ordeal I've endured over the past several months, and I feel compelled to share it with others to prevent them from going through a similar ordeal. I have also included screenshots to substantiate my claims. Lie #1: When I inquired about the status of my car, I was told they had "ordered a Solenoid from Jack's Transmission." However, when I followed up with Jack's Transmission, they had no record of any parts being ordered. This was the first indication of dishonesty and deception. Lie #2: The car sat in front of the shop for over a month before they even started diagnosing the issue. They constantly assured me that the car was being worked on, but over two months had passed without any substantial progress. Lie #3: On August 23rd, they claimed to be "working on getting it back together," yet no work had been completed. Lie #4: I was told that the blinker was fixed and that they were addressing the airbag issue. However, the blinker was not fixed when I picked up the car in October, and the airbag issue remained unaddressed. Lie #5: On August 24th, they informed me that a "flushing procedure for the solenoid" was necessary, even though they hadn't replaced the broken part in the transmission. This was clearly an unnecessary step. Lie #6: In early September, I visited the shop to see the car's progress. I observed the transmission pan in the car, and when I excitedly asked if the transmission was fixed, they lied, assuring me it was good to go. This was a missed opportunity to be honest about their inability to fix the car. Lie #7: On September 12th, they claimed that their "buddy, the GTR god," was coming to take the valve body back to his shop. This never happened, and it was clear they were making excuses to buy more time. Lie #8: On September 22nd, they stated that they were working on putting the car back together but were missing a special bolt from Nissan. However, they failed to ensure the right parts were ordered and installed properly. Lie #9: On September 25th, they claimed the correct bolts had arrived, but when I had the car taken to another shop, I discovered they had used subpar bolts instead of the appropriate ones. Lie #10: On September 26th, they promised that I would get my car back that day, but it was just another empty promise. This individual even bizarrely alluded to the possibility of physical confrontation, indicating that he knew his lies were catching up with him. Lie #11: When I asked for an invoice for the part replaced in the transmission, they claimed their system was down and couldn't provide it. This further reinforced their pattern of dishonesty. Lie #12: Even after the truth had been exposed through text messages, they made empty promises of compensation through their attorney but have failed to deliver on these promises. This entire experience has been a nightmare, filled with deception and broken commitments. I strongly advise against entrusting your vehicle or finances to Bruce European Auto Repair. As of October 14th, there has been no attempt from their end to resolve this situation, and it has been an agonizing and costly ordeal. Please learn from my experience and avoid this establishment at all costs.

I travel for work and she has been sitting for the past 2 years. I had her brought in, they diagnosed her needs and provided a written estimate and made recommendations for what was needed. The communication between Richard and I was through phone calls and e-mails as I was out of state the entire time. What a wonderful group of people who take amazing pride in their work. I was so happy when I picked her up and she was road and performance ready! I can’t thank you all enough for the amazing job you did! I highly recommend Richard and his team for anyone needing attention for their MB. Kelly Osborn

Rocky and the mechanics are fair and truthful, jobs are always done correctly and with attention to detail. I have NEVER been disappointed here, they are so knowledgeable and have tons of experience. Hanna and Cindy in the office are amazing and a wealth of knowledge themselves! I am in good hands with them and would never trust my Jaguar to anyone else.
