Called the in the morning and spoke to Mano the station owner. Told me that that car needed 4 parts to repair the damage. Had a call into Volvo for parts. Later he informed me it would cost $1500 to repair the car. Seemed too high so I called AAA to have car towed to a mechanic who had done work on the car previously. Mano would not release my car to AAA till I paid a $189 diagnostic fee. Car was towed after payment to other shop. As they are towing car Mano tries to bargain. Will do job for $1000. Tell him no thanks. End result. Part to repair car cost $24. Crack blind by the base of the shifter. Repair cost $150 with labor and diagnostic. Please stay far away from this station. They lie right to your face with no hesitation. I went back to station to question his high cost and he had no response. Nick told me the diagnostic was so high because they spent 1.41 hours to figure out what was wrong. Also told me that they spent time on the phone with Volvo to get prices on the parts. Stay away

When I called, their banner man, Mano, yelled at me saying that the repair was hard and refused to explain why my repair, which was a very simple welding job, no new parts cost so much. The car was taken without me and it was done all over the phone. I don't believe the fact that I could not see their posted hourly price was a reason to charge me more than if I had driven to the shop myself.

I came in for a quick oil change, they did it wrong, and I had to call the police over to get my car back. My experience: - They advertise an $19.95 Oil Change Special for 4 cylinder cars. - They demanded $35 after the service and claimed that the Oil Change Special does not include the oil filter, and that they topped off my washer and brake fluids. - I said I could pay them the $20, like they advertise. - They refused, and would not release my car. - I called the non-emergency police line to have the cops provide an objective view on our disagreement. - The owner agreed to honor his advertised price once the police talked to him. I go the car back and found out: 1) They lied. They never topped of any fluids, for which they tried to charge me. 2) They put in the wrong oil. My car is specified for 5W-20. They used 10W-30 If they cannot even do a simple oil change right, then I have no confidence in their ability to do anything more complicated.
