My experience here has been truly frustrating from start to finish.
WARNING: Advice for Anyone Considering This Shop (ask for the first item and see it for yourself):
- Always ask for parts receipts. If they refuse, consider it a RED FLAG.
- Don’t rely entirely on their diagnosis if you’re unfamiliar with mechanics; get a second opinion.
- Ask to keep old parts and inspect them.
- Document everything, including photos and notes.
- Request scans with time stamps to verify their timeline.

My experience here has been truly frustrating from start to finish. The shop has been untrustworthy, created unnecessary problems, and refuses to honor its own warranties.

In May, I brought my truck in for a rack and pinion replacement. By the end of the day, they claimed one of my CV axle shafts was leaking and offered to replace it the next morning. I agreed. When I inspected the old part, I noticed the boot had a suspiciously clean cut—something I’ve never seen before, as if made with a sharp tool. While I let this slide, it was only the beginning of the problems.

After picking up my truck, the traction control light was on. The shop claimed it was already on. How would you feel hearing that about a vehicle you drive daily? Research showed rack and pinion replacements can sometimes trigger this issue, and another mechanic confirmed their work likely caused it. Yet, the shop denied responsibility, claiming their scans—done late in the day—showed a pre-existing code. This didn't align with their timeline, as the rack and pinion job was supposedly completed earlier in the day.

Adding to the frustration, they overlooked critical tie rod wear but were quick to suggest replacing the CV axle, prioritizing less critical issues.

When I asked them for receipts for the parts they used during the May service, they refused, saying the receipts contained 'private shop information.' Instead, they assured me their warranty would cover parts and labor. That response seemed extremely sketchy to me. Why not provide basic transparency? I have records of all invoices and scans, including their timelines, which further highlight their inconsistencies.

Fast forward to December: the CV axle they replaced began sitting oddly on the differential. When I went there to claim the warranty on December 9th, I discovered they had listed the wrong side for the replaced axle on their paperwork (I have the original document and the one they added to the second invoice). They were clearly insisting it wasn’t the side they had changed. When I asked them to verify the part using its serial number, they gave me an absurd excuse: "All CV axles have the same serial number."

Instead of resolving the issue, they blamed the differential seal and wanted to charge me for replacing it. Then they also "discovered" a transmission fluid pan leak. When I asked to see the supposed leak, they refused, claiming the truck was off the lift. However, I found no evidence of a leak after inspecting it myself, and I regularly check my driveway for leaks.

Additionally, in May, they serviced my AC without asking, even though I had only requested a quote. Their invoices were inconsistent: one didn’t specify which side of the CV axle was replaced, and later they incorrectly added 'right side'. This change happened within minutes after I complained about the extra charge of $145 (I have the documents) —yet another questionable practice.

Timeline Concerns:

- May 22: They claimed the truck was ready except for the CV axle, but the scan was performed at 4:57 PM, just before closing. - How did they finish all rack and pinion work in 33 minutes?
- May 23: The alignment was done at 2:42 PM.
- May 24: I picked up the truck.

I’ve spent a significant amount of money at this shop and received nothing but poor service, excuses, and headaches. Professionals are supposed to offer honesty, competency, and accountability. Save yourself the possible trouble and find a reliable mechanic.

Tip for this shop: If you can’t control your parts, don’t offer a warranty.

* I have records of all invoices and scans with their respective timelines. *

Not the best experience
First, I would like to start off that it has taken over a week for me to decide to write a review.

The first time taking my truck there was for a simple tire mounting. Seemed to be good so I decided to have them look at my truck for a oil leak. Dropped my truck off and after a few hours I got a call telling me my oil pan gasket needed to be changed. Well, wanted it fixed decided to go ahead and have them do this which was a $750 charge. They had the truck for another day to get it completed. Once I picked up my truck and brought it home the leak was still there, if not worse. I called them back and they told me to bring it down. Well I was then told that the employee who fixed it had to be let go, due to shoddy work. I completely get sometimes we can't control those that work for us, so I gave them the benefit of doubt. They inspected the truck and said the leak was coming from the front main seal, which was going to be another $300 charge. I said it didn't seem right that I was paying for something that should have been fixed in the first place. I explained while waiting on my tires to be mounted, that a lady couldn't afford brakes to be done on her van so I paid for them as I try to do good things in the community. The individual I was dealing with was the same person I paid for the brakes. So, they knocked it down $50. Still didn't think it was right, but I just wanted my truck fixed.

Well I figured the last time would be a one time deal and that they deserved another shot. A year later I had a coolant leak and couldn't find where it was coming from and decided to try them again, second chance and had no one else I knew of to use. After dropping it off they had decided it was coming from the radiator and it needed to be replaced. Which would be $1,000 charge. Drove it home that night to wake up to it still leaking and even worse. I called them back the next day and they told me to bring it down. So three hours later they said it was just the lower radiator hose and needed a different hose clamp, which is the only work they performed at that time, due to older hose possibly not able to get it in the same spot to create a good seal Low and behold I get it home and it is STILL leaking, so I figured it was easy enough and decided to get a new lower radiator hose and new clamps, I mounted them, put new fluid in and was still leaking. I called them and explained that it was leaking and something just wasn't right. I was directed to bring it down the next day. After another day of them having it I went to pick it up and was told that the leak was actually coming from the heater core line that was loose. They put a clamp on it and it stopped the leak. I explained, please don't tell me I didn't just pay for a new radiator when it was just a $2 clamp. He said he didn't know because he didn't do the first diagnostic. I tried to give them every chance to make it right but they charged me $1750 for repairs on my truck that didn't have to happen. I am disappointed in the service and the ownership of how it was handled.

If it wasn't for the first situation and then taking it back to them this time for the radiator leak and them telling me there was something else wrong when it wasn't the issue just tells me there is a disconnect in their knowledge. Also, to not make it right and offer to refund me some of the money is unacceptable. They were completely non cholent about the whole thing. I hate writing these negative reviews, but at this point I think it is necessary.

Good service
I found out the front end of my truck needed some attentions, so I looked around (called around) and found the best price in the area to be at Quality Alignment, They did the work that was needed in the time specified, and the guarantee was more than I had in mind, and they give a good military discount. which is always nice, Thank you again for fixing my front end

Excellent
My car had a strange sound from the back tire(?). I left it with Royce Monday morning and received a call of what needed to be done later that day, I gave a go ahead expecting it to take a day or so for the repair. Not the case, I received a call later the same day they we able to replace the needed parts and my car was ready to go at a very affordable price. THANK YOU (also thank you Discount tire for recommending Quality Alignment and Mechanical)

Terrific Auto Alignment Shop
I have a classic 69 Mach 1 Mustang that needed a new set of upper control arms that would allow better alignment of the front wheels. Having moved here from Nebraska, I was unsure who I could trust with this car. I was very impressed with the guys at this shop. They were professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. I would trust them completely with any work on my vehicles. They went the extra mile to make the car work correctly.
