2 /5 Jason watkins: Before this visit, I use them three other times. For plugging a tire, front alignment, and to diagnose why my Acura was smoking a little. It was $150 for him to diagnose I have a small oil leak. I paid the $150. I had my vehicle towed there and It was fairly obvious that my battery and or alternator was bad because the battery would not stay charged. I asked Miguel if he could simply test my battery and my alternator, he said it will cost me $150 to do a diagnostic test. I asked him again, would he simply test my battery and alternator, because when I jump the vehicle off it would not stay started, which any mechanic knows that probably is a battery or alternator issue. He told me theres no guarantee it would be the battery or alternator therefore he had to charge me $150. If Miguel would have simply said I will test your battery and your alternator, but if thats not the problem and I have to look further I have to charge you $150, cool, Or charge me $75 to test the battery and alternator but if you have to go further it will be the full $150. Long story short, because I had my vehicle towed there, because I trusted Miguel to give me a little break. I went ahead and had him to do a diagnostic test which guess what, it came back a dead battery and alternator. He came back with a price of $1,300 for an alternator and battery. I dont think I need to say anymore. Im not bad-mouthing Miguel and his business Im simply saying that when a person tries to come back to you for repeat business, and you refuse to simply test a battery and an alternator for leass than $150 bucks. Then come up with a figure of $1,300 for a battery and alternator. He says he does use top of the line parts.
All in all they are probably a very good and reliable shop. His prices are just a little bit too high and no room for negotiation or anyting.
