Spent $741 to get something fixed, they did it and I could barley drive around the block anymore, so they kept my car from Friday-Tuesday and replaced things that were making my car run bad, spent another $217 on that, and noticed my radio no longer works. They said they found a penny stuck in the lighter piece and removed it but there were still 2 pennies in there when I left. I went back to get my radio fixed and they said they didn’t work on radios and didn’t know what was wrong that caused my radio to stop working. I mean after spending $958 within 2 weeks with them you’d think I left with it working and running better! My car does run better but now my radio doesn’t work so that’s MORE money I have to spend to get it fixed 😒😒 very disappointing honestly

Not only was the staff extremely rude and unprofessional, but they didnt even fix the problem after charging me and my husband over 2000 dollars. Jim refused to communicate about my car and had the nerve to HANG UP ON ME. They lost my front license plate and tried to claim it never came to the shop with one! They left my car completely on empty where I had to bring a gas can up to even drive it home. I waited an extra four days to get my car back and its like they never worked on it at all! This has been the worst shop experience I have had to date. I wouldnt recommend this shop to ANYONE.

Review №21

I had taken my car on Friday to get it checked out, they told me they would call once it was finished. Today I was wondering why it was taking so long to get back to me and called them to inquire about my car. They told me it had been finished after about two hours of work days ago. Very unprofessional and cant let you know when your vehicle is done after requesting they do so (after they told you they would). The person I was speaking with on the phone also had a tone of voice that seemed as if they were annoyed and dealing with me like I was bothering them while they were on the clock.*Update* I had this review at 2 stars but decided to lower it after finding that they didnt even fix the problem in the first place. Would put zero stars if it gave me an option

Review №26

They did not properly install my AC compressor, so now that its getting warm outside I dont have cold air and while they supposed to be fixing it, which took 3 days instead of the couple hours they promised, they removed my cold air intake and did not install it properly. I tried to get in contact with them about this and they still want to make a quick buck rather than fix the piss poor job they did. Find somewhere better to go.

If you want an honest mechanic, that wont RIP you off, try and have you fix things that arent broken, and its crazy, efficient, friendly, and effective. Then this needs to be your mechanic shop! They even stand behind their work! I cannot recommend them enough.Great service and good prices. The owner is very friendly and knows what hes doing. They are my mechanic for life! Try them out for an estimate, youll be amazed.I had them replace the transmission in my Nissan Pathfinder. When I got it back, it worked perfectly. They have done my brakes, and many other things. Im about to have them replace the head gaskets and water pump.

Review №32

One of our cars would not start intermittently. I was able to tinker with the wires to the starter under the vehicle and get it to start every now and then. That stopped working and we didnt know what to do. My wife called Vanzandts and they had it towed to their shop. Initial testing showed the starter had failed, we were quoted a good price and authorized the repairs. About an hour later, we got a call saying the starter was fine and the wiring harness for the starter needed to be replaced. The work was still done on the same day AND it was half of the original estimate. Way to be fair and honest. I will be bringing another vehicle here very soon for other issues. We may have just found our mechanic!!!!

The best experience Ive ever had at a mechanic shop. Jim was very professional and courteous to my mother and I from start to finish!

I went here for auto repairs for a while and they did alright for the most part. Jim is a nice guy. However I won’t be going back since they charged me $30 just to clear a check engine light. If they had told me that’s what they were doing I would have had no problem paying but they told me they had done much more to the car. The light came back in as I pulled out of their lot. It’s also not the most affordable place in town for repairs, even if they say it is.

Have taken cars to be fixed twice and both times have paid twice what was quoted. The second time received no call saying it would be more until the work was done and car was ready to be picked up. They do accept credit/debit cards now but that comes with a fee.

I would rather have taken the $12 I spent at this place and bought two packs of Newport cigarettes and chain-smoked all of them because if Im going to kill 30 minutes of my life I at least want the sweet delicious Taste of mentholated tobacco instead of their poor customer service in my mouth
