This was my first experience with SAC, but it wont be the last. Mike and Brent were both very thorough and professional. They let me know what was needed now and what could wait until a little later. My old minivan drives better now. Work was done in a reasonable amount of time and at a fair price. Thanks SAC.
After 15 years of being a loyal and satisfied costumer, that all came to an end over $15. And please understand, this is not about me having to pay $15, its how I was treated by on of the mechanics (Brett). I was unaware nor relayed to that I would be charged $15 to replace an headlight that I had already purchased. He was very condescending saying things like tools are expensive and that a job like that cost close to $50 so I was getting a deal. Where is your dang costumer service respect. Ok, it was a misunderstanding or non communication I get that but thats how you treat a long time customer. He could of just told me that they value me as a long time customer so $15 would be credited towards my next visit and just inform me that next time it would be a cost associated with that service and I would be pleased. But over the years and 1000s of dollars spent he choose $15 over a valued customer. So sorry but got to take by business elsewhere.
Hello, I have came to SAC a few times and every time I call the lady is always nice when answering the phones and listening to my issue and quickly getting one of their top mechanics on the phone to talk to me.When I come in, it’s ALWAY CLEAN AND SMELLS GOOD, AND COFFEE available to customers as well as BOWLS OF PEPPERMINTS EVERYWHERE. To be honest, they are pretty awesome and I don’t understand negative reviews. They have worked on my 73 Chevelle. If I had questions, they were answered.
Brent and his team have been such a blessing to us in the maintenance and repairs on our vehicles. They treat you with respect and your car as though it were their own. They are professional, courteous, and experienced. They are the best and worth the drive for anyone across town that values piece of mind when it comes to car repairs. Thank you for serving us so well all these years!
SAC is a trusted automotive and repair business. They diagnosed, explained, and repaired my vehicle in a timely manner. They are professional and provide great customer service. I will keep coming back for my automotive maintenance and repairs.
SAC provides a nostalgic experience...a time when trust and transperncy existed with the neighborhood mechanic. The mechanics are always professional, friendly, and thorough with services needed on your vehicle. Love this place.
The is company does good work. I will tell our people who good you are work . I have all ready. Chuck
I appreciated the honest, affordable and quality service they gave me for work on my Kia Sorento. Another company recommended new front & rear brakes and rotors, as well as some other services for a astronomical fee. Thanks to Snellville Auto Center, not only did I not need brakes, but the other work they did was for less than a third of the price!
Needed a 65k service for my 2013 Charger. They couldve told me it needed everything done, but instead, only did the necessary maintenance and let me know everything else looked good. Went in expecting a bill for hundreds, left with a bill below 100$. Honesty like that has gained them a customer for life. Cant recommend SAC enough!
Always great service. Never any issues, been going for 5+ years and will continue to.
Snellville Auto Center has always done good work for me. Mike has always been honest with me and I trust him and his advice.
I have been sending my 3 activity buses to SAC for years! Great service every time. They also provide references for other services I have needed such as windshield replacement. The waiting area is a fun space highlighting old auto parts, maps, free wifi and charging stations and a bench made of a truck tailgate. Clean restrooms. Free refreshments too!
I have used these guys a couple of times now and found them to be great.
The staff is very professional and friendly. The work is very acceptable and the timeframe is excellent. Work is done in a timely manner and communication is active throughout the work process. Thanks
We appreciate the honesty and integrity of SAC. They continue to give excellent service at a fair price. The owner is present and attentive to our every need.
Went for oil change, but they discovered that the battery had started to get weak, but was still in warranty so they replaced it too. What more could you ask.
This is a family owned/operated establishment that offers pretty much every repair and service. The lobby is absolutely comfortable and clean and always has a pleasant customer service representative at the reception area. Weve had an ample of work performed by this place and have never been disappointed. The mechanics are absolutely thorough and treat the vehicles like its their own. Pricing is always within common costs and very clear to understand. This place will have my loyalty for all future auto mechanical needs.
The team was courteous on the phone. They called to confirm the work they were doing. The work done was very reasonably priced.
They delivered as quoted, I felt as if they cared about me.
I really enjoyed my experience. The host made me feel welcomed and made sure that the right maintenance was being done to my car. The inside of the shop is really neat and they got me in and out in an efficient manner. Will definitely recommend to anyone!
Great customer service. Very honest and good workmanship. I will definitely return for future auto repair needs.
Ive been coming here since 1992. And its now almost 2021. That should tell you how I feel about this place.
I love Snellville Auto Center! We started taking our vehicles to them about 6 months ago. We have had a variety of repairs and maintenance work done over the past 6 months. They have been awesome! A good (and honest) auto center is extremely hard to find. These folks take great care of their customers and we appreciate the professional and always friendly service they provide!
This is the best auto repair shop in Snellville! The people are friendly, they take their time and discuss your car issues and keep you informed throughout the process. A major plus is that if you live locally and need to just drop your car, they will take you home and pick you back up when the job is complete. As long as I reside in this area, I will use them for my car repairs.
I found great reccomendations on Nextdoor. I needed my brakes done and was unsure about going to the dealership. They got me in a day after calling. My brakes were done within 4 hours. They also inspected and made sure I didnt need anything else done. They changed out my back wiper blade and rotated my tires as well. The price was affordable. Not to mention the lady at the front desk was friendly and knowledgeable. I will be using them again!
Brent and the crew recently worked on my 1983 CJ7 and did a fantastic job! Very friendly, family owned business and great workmanship. We will be doing all future maintenance on all of our vehicles at Snellville Auto Center.
Normally, I dont get along with car repair places. The repairers did an excellent job, they actually cared for me as a person and not just another person. they were kind and super nice. Did the job well. the facility was cleaner than most places.
I moved in this area from PA.Now I found a good reliable repair shop.
Always fair price and reliable
Took my car here because they had good reviews and a trustworthy mechanic is hard to find. The receptionist was very nice. They called me very shortly after me leaving my car with my options. I felt like he was being honest because I knew I needed brakes and he gave me several options that didn’t break the bank. My car was done a couple hours later. They gave quotes for a couple other things I needed which was very helpful. I will be a returning customer.
They treat customers like family! Fair prices and do what they can to save you money instead of take it! Waiting area is comfortable and has personality and is inviting. Staff is so friendly and considerate. And you see the same faces when you come back unlike the turnover at giant overpriced chains. Im so glad I found them!
I was the tool dealer for all 3 of their shops for over 8 years, seeing them ever single week. I have never personally used them because I service my own vehicles. However, I can attest to the quality and professionalism of the management and all of the staff as well as mechanics. The mechanics are top notch and very knowledgeable. They all have a wealth of knowledge and great attitudes. They have always had great retention of employees because they treat the staff right. Even though I have not seen or spoken to them in a few years, I still consider them all friends.
A car is crucial in the Atlanta Culture and as important as it is you would think my review would be about the expert way Snellville Automotive Center handles my car and they do an excellent job, but doing an excellent job is only two stars it is expected. They have a very clean and comfortable waiting Area that’s good for half a star. Their mechanics keep an organized work area ( I was a military nuclear tech) and I know that means you can work faster, another half star. So why do I give them five stars + 5? Well there is “act like you care” and there is that SAC thing when you know THEY really care about you being safe and traveling well. The SAC family does their work with passion that includes our safety and comfort. They get another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seven stars for THAT! So yeah that’s ten stars!Just try them and you will understand.Just one of many satisfied customers who feel like family.
Always a great job!!
Great!!! Will use again for my auto needs!!
Had a major oil leak which I did not recognize because my carport was clear of oil, but my oil tank would run dry! Ben figured it out and, after he said a prayer (that made me nervous, wouldn’t it make you!), he went on to fix it just perfect.MOS*: Just trust these guys.PS: *moral of story
As always the visit was great rewarding and fair price. Snellville autohas taken care of my cars since 1987. The service is still great. the time spent there pleasant and with great results. Everything was explained and the price mentioned was right on the money. Their is no one any better than these people. Love them.
My son-in-law just bought his first car and he took it here for our pre-purchase inspection. They gave hime a very thorough description of all issues and what needed to be addressed and helped him really understand the vehicle before he bought it.
I just moved to Snellville and my Van needed maintenance check. I called SAC because I of a referral. I’m so glad I did. They were so nice and I felt at ease with their work. Price was very reasonable and I will continue to take my car there for future service.
Snellville Auto Center fixed my vehicle as promised and the price was reasonable. They were able to drop me off at my house while they worked on my vehicle. Very good service.
Absolutely outstanding! I have been a customer of Snellville Auto for almost twenty years. In all that time I have never had a complaint about a repair, parts, labor or the bill. Every employee, without exception, is cheerful, anxious to please and enthusiastic. You wont find a better auto repair shop, better mechanics, technicians or service writers anywhere. If you are looking for a helpful,reliable staff, coffee while you wait, work done once, done right, this is the place.
Snellville Auto Center ALWAYS responds promptly. They provide great auto repair service and are friendly and attentive to detail. I recommend them for your car repair.
The best experience ever. Felt like I was at home. The customer service was impeccable. The mechanics were honest and knowledgeable. I have loads of bad experiences with mechanics. You wont go wrong with them. Im a happy camper.
I’ve known Ben for years in the auto industry. Always shoots you straight and SAC only fixes what’s wrong with your car. Thought it was a big thing for them to actually show me the problem on my truck and why I needed the repairs. Very patient with me and I’ll always come back! Also the ladies up front were very friendly and were constantly cleaning the doors and counters to make sure I was in a clean and germ free environment!
I never right reviews, but I just had to. I read raving reviews about this place. I was having issues with my air conditioner. It would shut off periodically and a weird noise could be heard, but otherwise the car was driving fine. So I figured I would give them a chance. I just wanted a diagnosis run to confirm that the issue was the compressor as my father who typically deals with cars suspected. They told me it was probably electrical at one point. It wasnt it was mechanical as my father had originally suggested to them. During their service ( i was there from 2:00pm to 5:00pm) they left my car running for several hours which could have ultimately lead to the pressure cap on my compressor to completely split, the Freon in my car spilled out, they charged me to replace it ( which is fine until what followed shortly). They ran the diagnostics again told me the compressor had to be replaced. Marked me up for 1,000 to 2,000 dollars . I told them I could not afford that at the moment and they were very understanding, I asked the guy who was working on my car TWICE if I could drive my car home safely and he said yes. I did not make it past the first light before my car started pouring smoke. I took it back immediately the guy working on my car told me it was the freon they had JUST CHARGED ME TO PUT IN THAT THEY ARE NOW GOING TO REMOVE. Then they returned to tell me that the compressors cap had melded shut, and that I can not move my car (which was still inaccurate information I later found out ).The belt was now necessary to replace because it has burned down in the two seconds I drove off. I called a friend who was waiting on me to finish up and updated her (rather upset at this point) and an employee from across the room told me that “ That is not what is happening and that there is clearly a misunderstanding” Which is extremely unprofessional given that I was having a private conversation. I gave him a chance to explain it to me again. In which he taught me nothing new and I realized I completely understood what happened. They just did not want to take any fault or admit that they had no idea what they were looking at. I wouldn’t let them touch my car after that so I towed it home and had another mechanic come check on it for me. In an hour he told me the compressor cap had completely split the car should not have been left on or driven (at this point) and that the issue was very obvious, but could be fixed with some replacements. If they hadn’t let me drive it out of there I would have saved a good chunk of money, because now I have to replace my belt and the entire compressor. (This was told to me by the second unassociated mechanic).Most of the employees are friendly people and are just trying to do their jobs, but there’s clearly something wrong here. I had high hopes given that they are rated one of the best shops in the county, but I will never be using their services again. Extremely disappointed and would ask for my money back if I could.
Been going to Snellville Auto for over thirty years, through two moves (one theirs, one ours) and seven vehicles and have every intention ofkeeping it up. Excellent service and wonderful people.
The folks there are always helpful with your auto needs. Have always worked with us in getting the best results for our car issues. Repairs are made in a timely manner so you are not left without your vehicle too long. Very trustworthy.
Customer service was A+++. I brought in my car for last minute repairs and the lady at the front desk worked me in as quickly as possible. I got regular phone updates from the tech working on my car. He was familiar with the repair needed for my Nissan-- he told me it was common issue. The cost to repair my car was quite reasonable. I would like to add that the waiting area was very relaxing and nicely decorated.
I bought my car to them on Thursday, was told that is was the gear shift assembly and that the part should be in by Monday. Well Friday afternoon I received a call that the part came in and they have installed it and I am ready to go!! They were very professional, knowledgeable and they work quickly and efficiently!! I will be back whenever I need repairs! Thanks Snellville Auto Center!!
I had previously brought my F-150 here for maintenance and loved the service. I recently purchased a 4Runner and needed service. They were fast, knowledgeable, and super courteous!!!! I cant say thanks enough!
I chose Snellville Auto Center to repair my tire because of their great reviews. And now I can add hospitality, and honesty as to why I recommend them and will go back.Snellville Auto Center removed a nail from my tire and because it did not actually puncture the tire, they did not have to repair it and therefore did not charge me.
My whole family has been using this shop for over a decade. These guys are the only truly honest mechanics that I have ever found. They do excellent work, never sell you parts/repairs that you do not need, and always have a quick turnaround time. Also, the sweet lady at the front office is a SAINT!
The lady at the front desk is nice and understanding. But paying the diagnosis fee seems pricey. In lieu of that, I will continue support the auto service (not SAC) that has serviced my vehicle with superb work for years. Because they are an AAA Auto Center I do believe they do good work. Also with good reports they have received it shows they are decent. And even with dissatisfied customers they have given a good response, again showing great courtesy.
These guys always get the repairs done in a timely manner. The mechanics do good work as I never have any return visits for the same issues. Great service center
Personalized service, very friendly staff. Price very reasonable.
I had a great experience with Snellville Auto Center. First off their decor is awesome, it gives you the feel of a mechanic shop but with class and style . I can tell thought was put into company. Its a veeerrry clean place. Will definitely recommend this company. My service technician Cole was simply the best. Very knowable, professional and courteous. Gail, Angela and Cole you guys rock. I will be back. SUPERB SERVICE AT ITS FINEST!!!
They do good quality work. They explain things in detail. Excellent professional mechanics!
I have used Snellville Auto for years and have always had excellent service.I would use no one else. Very Satisfied.
My family has been going to Snellville Auto for years, since I was a teenager. Now that Im an adult, I take my family vehicles there for all maintenance. They are always honest, wont nickel and dime you, and Mrs. Gail at the front desk is always such a sweetheart. If youre looking for a great Auto shop, this is the place for you. Keep being awesome!
Family Focused. Always Pleasant. Service with a Smile. They are professional. The waiting room is cozy (fresh coffee always). They translate automotive stuff in girl language so women go in peace that you can trust them and they will treat you fairly as if you were their sister. I LOVE EVERYONE THERE. The service is IMPECCABLE. The patience is a learned expertise that should be modeled! This store needs more recognition for a job EXCELLENTLY done!I am additionally impressed with their organizational culture of the staff. The fairness and communication as a team is a morale booster that keeps consistency in all they do. I cant say enough good things about them.Its the kind of service that makes me want to buy more cars so that I have more reasons to go visit. Be well.
I had a prior estimate to repair a headlight problem and was quoted a sum of $666.70. The nice people at Snellville Auto center did the repair for the sum of $55.83. Need I say more? Everybody I had contact with were verycordial and professional and I am so happy to have found a honest repair shop that is qualified. Oh, and a special thank you to Gail. She is a gem.
My wife and I have been getting our vehicles serviced at SAC for the past couple of years and they are GREAT. Terrific customer service with honest employees and highly trained mechanics. Highly recommend them!
Best Place and People around, they know what they are doing and you can always trust their opinion. Brent is Awesome 😎
Excellent service!!! Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. The price was affordable and I received honest recommendations. First time customer, will be going back.
Great service from friendly, knowledgeable people. Fixed it right the first time and advised of other repairs that may be needed soon (with a cost estimate).
Ive been going to Snellville Auto Center for over 14 years now. They are the BEST auto repair shop i have ever used. They are honest and their prices are fair and best of all they stand behind their products. I have recommended dozens of friends and family and they use and love them as well.
Weve been very satisfied customers of this shop for nearly 30 years. Brent, Gail and the great team at Snellville Auto have always treated us fairly and their service always comes with a smile. Their family is like extended family!! Highly recommend this shop for your automotive repair needs.
Had to have my sons car towed ...their preferred tow company was great and his truck was extremely clean. Service at SAC was professional and fast. We will certainly use them again.
I went to Snellville Auto Center to have a car checked out before buying a used car and they were extremely helpful. Ms. Gail helped me with what I needed to know before buying a car and they saved me from buying a car that had more than a handful of maintenance problems. Thank you and would recommend this place to anyone!
This place is first rate....excellent service and honest!!
Always a great experience! Very friendly and always looking out to keep my vehicles in good shape. Thanks Much!
Many thanks to Brent and his staff for diagnosing our car debacle that led us to the decision to put our 2011 VW GTI to RIP after serious engine problems. Thanks Brent for buying our car, so we could have closure on this unfortunate event, rent another car, and head back home to Florida.Gail, you are a very special woman and I am glad to gave met youand I am grateful my friend Lisa told us to come to you.Many thanks for giving us a break on the diagnostics during this nightmare.
Best auto place around!I have been coming here for three years now and the pride the staff takes in serving you is amazing. They genuinely care about helping you preserve the life of your vehicle and not just trying to take your money.I definitely recommend snellville auto center for your car needs.
I had a great experience when I needed my break lights changed. I will definitely come back!
I can always count on excellent service at a fair price. I love Gails warmth and the professionalism of everyone. Wouldnt take my car anywhere else!
The culture of integrity is why my family has and will continue to choose to do business with this company. Brent and team always give an honest assessment of repairs/maintenance and a fair price for the service received (small or large repair).The experience is more consultative rather than pressure driven. We drive past many other places to do business with people we can trust, you should too. We have also used their Loganville location, the same applies!!
Great customer serviceFastGets job doneGreat affordable priceActually picks up the phone, unlike Pep boysToo bad theyre not open on sundaysBut yeah definitely worth checking out
I wouldnt trust anyone else with my car. The staff and service is impeccable! Very honest and upfront.
DO NOT!!!! I repeat DO NOT!!!! bring your car here, a total rip-off I brought my car in for clutch repair they told me after diagnosis on car my price was 1023.00 I agreed to that, later that day they call me to tack on another $200 Telling me something in my clutch cracked and that needed to be fixed in order to continue fixing car. So next day I pick my car up and drive for about 3hrs it was ok except for the extremely slow start up which was never a problem until I brought it there, I called to let them know immediately that my car is having a lot of trouble starting up that it was not having before prior to me bringing it in and the lady immediately tries to offer me to buy a battery.. NO! NO! NO! I think not, so by this time they were getting ready to close. Later on shortly after I made that phone call my car breaks down after picking it up from the shop paying 1210.00 the same day (completely unacceptable) I had to get it towed in AGAIN! the next morning which was a big inconvenience for my whole day. After paying 1210.00 I should not be back the very next day on a tow truck back at that shop. So from there they look at the car and tell me my coil went out causing my car to run on only 2cylinders which I’m not buying because I should’ve been notified about all problems when they did the diagnosis test, so from there they charge me another 266.00 to fix that the very next day (ripoff) didn’t even offer a discount or anything to accommodate me in my situation with them. I was referred to this shop by AAA with my membership and I am so DISAPPOINTED! and DISPLEASED! With my time there that i also filed a complaint to AAA to have them removed from the referral list. I hope this review can help someone out there having car issues be carful where you take your car people look at reviews as well before you take your car somewhere, well I hope my story can help somebody out there and save them some money by not bringing your car to SAC unless you want to be ripped off DO NOT!!!! I repeat DO NOT!!!! Bring your car here..
I usually get great service there but the last time I went was awful. Took my car in a couple weeks ago cause it had been driving odd and the lights were shutting off. They did a diagnostic but didnt tell me there was a fee for it but ended up charging me. They had taken all my wheels off and it sat in the shop for hours. They gave me a long list of repairs I needed and since that day the car hasnt run the same. Whoever the mechanic is who checked my car out this go round is clearly a con artist and needs to be fired immediately!
We were in a bind and out of town needing to leave. Ben really helped us out and didnt take advantage of us. Excellent and timely service and friendly people. Would use them all the time if we were from the area.
Oil pan gasket and spark plugs replaced!
Good service. Trustworthy and honest. You cant ask for more than that.
The staff is kind and all around just great to do business with. They run their business with integrity and always stand behind their work. I would recommend Snellville Auto Center for anyone looking to have work done on their vehicle in the Snellville area. Their Centerville and Loganville locations are great too! Would recommend over and over again!
Fast, responsive complete service completed in a timely manner great job guys.
DONT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE! They are rude mainly the mechanic (Ben is his name i believe.) Not even worth the time or prices they charge. I was only comings here because triple A suggested i go because they were close. I would NEVER recommend this place to family and friends.
I first happened into Snellville Auto Center nearly 20 years ago. I was a young, single female who had been badly taken advantage of by other car repair establishments and was very jaded. I went in initially for a second opinion. Another place had tried to sell me new brakes which I couldnt really afford. SAC looked my car over, tightened a bolt (at no charge) and sent me on my way with no brakes needed. Turned out mine were fine!! I was astonished and so grateful to have finally found an honest, helpful, friendly car repair shop and now Im a customer for life!!
You will not folks better than these. I totaly trust them working on my 1981 GMC.They are professional and very honest.They have a life time customer.I highly recommend them.
I moved to Snellville Ga in April. I moved from Summerville SC. In Summerville I always took my car to Geralds Tires, I really trust them. Moving here, I was looking for a Geralds. I had a brake problem and took my car to a auto place in Snellville [ big mistake ]. I left there with a bill for $454.38 and the same brake problem. I called Snellville Auto to make an appointment to bring my car in for my brakes. I told the gentleman on the phone my story and I had called Corp. He told me to take my car back to the other place and let them do the work. I told him I did not trust them. He told me they will do the job right, because they didnt want a law suit. I thanked him, because he could have told me to bring my car in. I took my car back to the other place and the brake work was done - Free. I went to Snellville Auto a week later for an oil change. Can I say I found my Geralds in Snellville. I trust them, awesome costume service and the price is fair. I was told I needed two filters. I didnt question it. I said do it because I trust them.
Professional, fast, friendly and reasonably priced. Love this place.
I have used them for about 20 years now. First when we lived in Snellville and ever since we moved out to Grayson. I think they are one of most ethical bunks of folks in the automotive business. Ive taken 6 different cars to them, including a couple of old classic restored cars. They always call me to ask how things are going? If youre looking for the cheapest around, go somewhere else. If youre looking for someone that you can trust what they are saying, go here.
Snellville Auto Center.... I am highly recommending them... Competent technicians and outstanding customer service make for a great combination. Check them out!p.s. and no I was not compensated for this review....LOL
Very poor customer service. Called to inform them of something that was not done properly, etc. It was handled extremely unprofessionally. I was screamed at and mocked because I said the trunk of the car instead of the engine. I spent over $400 with them, they misplaced a $30 dollar item and did not even offer to replace or asked me to come in. Instead they were rude. They definitely lacked common courtesy, decency and regard.
I have been using this company for years. I have never been disappointed with the service. The personnel are honest, kind, and the prices are resonable.
Less than quality parts and service were used in a clutch replacement in 2012. Although I have the receipt stating that they used new parts, I had to get my clutch replaced again after just 37k miles on it in 2014. The place that did the second replacement stated that grease was used in a dry socket and caused the premature wear. I also discovered that I need to replace the shifter ring because their mechanics stripped the screws and broke some of the parts which held it in place. Partner these with an initial misdiagnosis thats caused me to spend a significant amount on another, less critical repair just prior to the clutch and it makes for a horrific experience. Not recommended in the slightest.
Honest Great Repair HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Snellville Auto, wow I have so much to say but I will try and make this simple..Ben was great he broke every detail down that my 2005 Dodge Durango needed with no pressure..I had been riding around with a annoying noise in my right wheel since March..Turned out I needed upper/lower blood joints.. I let another shop put them on or so I thought..The noise cont. to get worse after supp. being fixed...So finally when it was time my oil change took my truck to Snellville Auto to have noise checked out etc...Guess what the upper ball joints had been changed but not the lower lower ball joints despite having paid another mechanic to do so...Needless to say I was furious..Snellville got me safe and riding the next morning.. thought I would have to rent a car. .They were mindful that I had to go to work and got everything done in a timely fashion..Also with a 12 month% 12,000 mile warranty..Lemme not forget the sweet ladies @ the front desk that are always kind ..Thank you that my daughter and I are ridiculous get safe thru the streets of the Atl.Snellville auto rocks!!!
We had some problems with our air conditioner not blowing cold. My wife called and spoke to Cole who recommended we bring it in so they could do an evaluation of the A/C system. I figured we were in the market for a new compressor since this problem had been sporadic for awhile, but never this bad. After they looked at it, they determined we were low on refrigerant, but there were no leaks and nothing wrong with the system. They test drove it for a bit and it blew cold the entire time. So instead of my imagined $1k repair, the final cost turned out to be about a tenth of that! Everyone there was very nice and the service was excellent. Ill be bringing our cars back if anything else goes wrong!
They charge you shop supplies wether they use them or not. In my case, they had to program the throttle body via a scan tool. There were NO shop supplies used, yet $8 and change appeared on my bill. When I asked why, I was told it was for the thousands of dollars of equipment the shop has to have. I pointed out that I had already paid for that in the bill. Wasnt about the $8, it was about the principle of charging for service not provided, which makes me distrust the operation as a whole.
