Told me 6 to 8 weeks but after 8 months he was still putting new clients in front of me. He doesn't answer the phone very much, and never returns my voice mail messages.

Told me 6 to 8 weeks but after 8 months he was still putting new clients in front of me. He doesn't answer the phone very much, and never returns my voice mail messages. And my car was left next to sticker bushes, it has some damages that were not there when I dropped it off.

Took Hundreds From Me
I took an older van here after hearing good reviews of this place. My van was slow to start and sometimes wouldn’t start at all. I was told it would be a $500 fix. I paid him for the work and got my van back to find it still slow to start. I took my van back in and was told I needed another $500 in repairs - this time to replace the alternator. I asked why, if it was doing the exact same thing before, his previous repairs hadn’t fixed the problem. He said both things were wrong with my van. I couldn’t afford another $500 so I walked and rode a bus for months. When I had enough money to pay for the repairs, my van wouldn’t start, not even with a jump start. I removed the battery, which was less than a year old, and walked it over to the auto parts store I had purchased it from and asked them to charge it. They said my battery was faulty and couldn’t hold a charge. They replaced my battery for free. After that, my van was fixed. This shop took $500 from me and was prepared to take another $500 when the only repair my van needed was to have the battery replaced!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
This was the worst experience I have ever had with a car repair! My vehicle went in for a $60 fix, and $850 later it was still not right. And the owner refused to make it right. Be warned, that this is a complete rip off as far as automotive repair goes. I was taken advantage of.

Only for old cars from what I see
I wish I could write a positive review but my truck came out of his shop in worse condition that it went in. Good news is that "I" and only I fixed it. He quoted my repair to be $1200 and that it would be 10 days to repair. It ended up being over 6 weeks and the problem was still not fixed. My truck lost power after I got it back and the gas mileage dropped by 2/3. I was getting 16 mpg. It came out of the shop getting 5 mpg. If you don't have time to spare and don't want to pay double the price, find another place. I got a bill of a little over $2200 in the end. This was before it even worked. I put in the coil packs correctly and solved the worst problem. I was getting misfires on #8. I opened it up and the coil was simply sitting there and not even connected to the spark plugs. I ended up doing a lot more work such as replacing the fuel filter, catalytic converters, TCS, fuel injectors, changing the oil, and put in steering fluid. Not all of this was included in his quote but some of it was and none of it was completed. I hope he changes his business strategies but I would get things in writing before you let him touch your vehicle. Make sure price, description of work, and a timeline is included. Put the clause in that all additional parts, that he will charge a pretty penny on, are at his cost if he doesn't run it by you. Overall, it would just be easier to find another shop. Don't lose your skin. I would be happy to change my review if you can make right what you messed up on. To those who want to work on an old car. Mike did have some pretty cool old cars in his shop and he seemed to have very happy clients with those I saw. Just stay away if your car in the mid 2000s.
