I RECENTLY HAD A ISSUE WITH MY AUDI OVERHEATING AND I CALLED THIS MECHANIC SINCE HE HAD GOOD REVIEWS. SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH HIM HE SEEMED VERY NICE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE, SO I TRUSTED HIM AND LET HIM REPLACE THE SENSOR AND A DAY LATER HE CALLS ME AND QUOTES ME 300 DOLLARS AND CHANGE FOR THE WORK AND SENSOR AND I SPOKE WITH HIM A DAY LATER AND HE RECOMMENDED ME TO GET A OIL CHANGE WHICH I ALWAYS DO AT AUDI BUT I LET HIM DO IT HE DIDNT QUOTE ME A PRICE FOR THE OIL CHANGE BUT I FIGURED IT WOULD BE LESS THAN THE DEALERSHIP BUT NO HIS OIL CHANGE COST ME ALMOST 200 DOLLARS AND HE DID NOTHING SPECIAL. UNLESS YOU LIKE THROWING MONEY AWAY ON SOMEONE WHO WILL OVERCHARGE YOU TO *NOT FIX* YOUR CAR I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND THIS MECHANIC. AND HE REQUEST YOU SIGN A PAPER AT THE BEGINNING SO IF HE WANTS TO ADD TO THE BILL HE CAN PUT AS MUCH AS HE WANTS!!!

Had the car towed in and left the key in the drop-box. When contacted inthe morning they were courteous and prompt. initial repairs were completed but there was a concern about more substantial engine damage. The owner, Todd, was very- very helpful, helping describe options and pros and cons of each. They were very patient as we weighed the options. I needed to make several follow-up calls, they always made time to answer our questions. It is hard to imagine being able to say car repairs are a pleasant experience but I have to say, our experience with Todd and the staff was as pleasant and painless as could be imagined. I will return fo all of my future car repair needs,

And so far we have spent over $2000 on repairs and the dealership just left her hanging! I, for one will never refer them to anyone. You just can't get good service anymore. The ignition system is constantly messing up and there are no good mechanics in Florence that won't rob you blind. And the KIA Dealership there says they are booked up for 2 to 3 weeks. That's ridiculous. I have also heard other horror stories about that Stealership, and wanted to pass this info along. They don't stand behind what they sell. And they sell cars that are not going to last. And at almost new car prices.
