I drove my 2000 Volvo S80 to get it diagnosed because the engine kept missing even after new parts were replaced. This took place on October 16th of 2019 and all I've been getting about this problem is the runaround from a mechanic named Rich. Initially I was told that the engine may need to be replaced with a price tag of $2700.00. I went out to the shop to put half of the deposit for the engine and then was told that the engine was fine, but it was the engine control module that was in need of repairs. Instead of Rich contacting me of the status of the module, I've had to keep calling and then Rich never calls back when he says. It's been over a month of waiting and this is unacceptable as my wife needs to be cared for and taken to her oncologist for cancer treatments at U of M hospital. At this point and right now, I want my car back with the original module and my $500.00 since nothing but waste time has been done. I caution anyone considering this place for repairs as they are just monkeying around and wasting people's time and money.

I have to start off by saying that I usually don't leave negative reviews because most of the time it doesn't do any good but this time I feel like i have to. I took my car in on August 19, 2016 because my car was making a funny noise. They said my compressor was bad & I had to replace it. So I did, invoice # 160819007, & it cost $876.21 for parts and labor. About a month later I was checking my oil and saw that the bolts securing my refrigerant lines were missing so I took it back and they found some and secured the lines. Now, I have moved to Florida for work and my car is again making the same noise and my ac is blowing hot. I took it in to a local auto ac shop & they said the compressor, that I had Auto-Lab replace, was very old & had failed and not only that, one of the mounting screws was not all the way in because it was stripped. So I need a new compressor. I contacted Auto-Lab corporate office since I'm not in Michigan anymore three times over the period of one month and no one returned my emails. Very, very disappointed in both the quality of the work and the outcome. Will never do business with this franchise again.

To my greatest surprise and shock, I just found out that they are frauds, cheats and liars and have deceived my family and friends that I have over the years sent to them. I sent a vehicle to them for repair this month, Sam, one of the owners called me back and said it was going to cost $2200.00 parts and labor. I was taken aback at that quote. I would have agreed, but something in me this time said NO!. I went back the next day and picked up my car from them and gave it to another mechanic that I hardly knew. They charged me $900.00 with the same parts and labor including two brand new tires. Please be careful with these guys, they fooled me for years. Always seek for a second opinion. Do not be another victim! Cole
