Brought the car there because the brakes are pulsating when depressed.... read more Brought the car there because the brakes are pulsating when depressed. Dropped the car off the night before. They called me in the morning saying they are checking the car. An hour later needs rotors (warped) and the front wheels balanced. They said that was the cause. $550 I said fine. I get there around 1230. The bill was 25 dollars more, no call to advise. Fine I paid. I leave and within 6 minutes call them back to advise the problem persist and now the front brakes are smoking heavy. I bring the car back, I was there 40 minutes without anyone saying a fucking word about what was going on. Unprofessional AF! I asked what the status was, " waiting on parts" did not say what parts. 2 hours later I get my car back. "Should be good now the first rotors I guess were bad" i take the car and the problem still fucking persist. I have to wait to speak to someone AGAIN! $575 dollars for a fucking nightmare. Don't go there!
I went to Ron's because my nextdoor neighbor recomended them to me. ... read more I went to Ron's because my nextdoor neighbor recomended them to me. WOW, I AM SO IMPRESSED!!!! I came in for 4 new tires and an alignment. I asked them to give the car a quick check out. Dimitry found a split axle boot and a bad ball joint. I was prepared to leave it for a day or two to have it repaired, but instead they ordered the parts and got me done same day. I am very impressed!!! THANK YOU RON'S... YOU SAVED THE DAY!!!
DON’T GET RIPPED OFF... TAKE YOUR CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE... read more DON’T GET RIPPED OFF... TAKE YOUR CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE I took my wife's 10 year old Mazda to Campanella's to diagnose check engine light. I explained to them, "I just paid you $1,000 for work on the car 2 months ago and I don't want to put more money into it if I don't have to. The car is too old for that." I asked and was told that diagnosis would be $95 if I chose not to have repair done. Figured I might as well get the work done. Boy, was I wrong ! I should have just paid the $95 for dignosis and left. Bill was itemized as follows: PARTS $121.75 for air intake hose FP47-13-220A that Mazda sells for $60.95 list. (on-line list prices ranged from $33.38 to $48.25) $ 20.05 "Shop Supplies" (when I asked I was told, "We add that to all bills"). LABOR $ 95.00 Diagnosis (no skill, just plug it in, get the code, look up the code). $ 32.96 Labor (easy access / right on top, all you need is a screw driver and pliers, remove 4 clamps, insert hose, replace clamps) 10 min. tops. This was in addition to the $95 diagnosis charge. $ 3.00 "Hazardous Materials" (dispose of a 3" diameter x 18" long hose) _______ $272.76 TOTAL I'LL NEVER TAKE ANY VEHICLE TO PAUL CAMPANELLA'S AGAIN ! They may suck you in by doing flat repairs for free... But when you give them a shot at real service they act like pigs.
