Great job - again
I brought the car in for an oil change. Panacea took care of that but also discovered a soft tire because it had a staple in it. I was able to get that fixed at Cisco under warranty at no cost. With a long trip coming up I appreciate having four safe tires to drive on! Excellent work like this is routine at Panacea.

Duane said the owner fixed his vehicle and did not charge him anything because it was to repair the work of a previous service. He liked that the business was local and that the owner was honest. He was glad he went there.

Quick & honest
I went in assuming it was going to be a much bigger repair. I shared what I thought so if he had agreed I would be none the wiser. I was of course wrong. Happily so.

Sydney said they were kind and polite. The staff gave his wife a ride to and from the business. He was surprised they charged him $136 to give him a quote for a service that he wasn't there for. He actually received 2 different quotes, for 2 different things. One, he did not ask for. He stated he didn't think they needed to take apart the exhaust system to find the noise, and he was thinking he won't ever use the place again. It was really expensive. He said maybe this visit was just a fluke.

Steve H. from The Panacea Automotive Repair responded on 06/25/2018
We are sorry you feel like you didn't get your moneys worth. It should be noted that your noise was isolated to the exhaust manifold area which is coved by heat shields that would need to be removed in order to isolate exactly where it was coming from. Even gettng to the point where we could isolate it as far as we did required removal of the upper body brace, lifting of the vehicle and two techs (one to get noise to occur and the other to listen with a shethoscope). The estimate you were given was based on what we expected to find when shields were removed and was a worst case scenario. This was explained to the person that picked up the vehicle. As far as the estimate you didn't ask for, we consider our duty to let people know of issues we observe while inspecting their vehicle to avoid future more expensive repairs. I apologize if you did not want to know about these things.
