Claude’s Auto Center

For the record, Claude doesn’t own or run this garage anymore. The guy who does, Fred, is a piece of work.
I had my transmission replaced, AC assessed and repaired and clutch assessed and replaced.
The initial service was fine. It was when I got my car back when it all started. It begin idling rough and losing power at random times while driving. Made it very aggravating to commute from here to there. So I called Fred to take it back in to be sorted out. Next available appointment was for a week later. When I called him before my appointment to check-​in with him, he complained that he was too busy. Wow! Great customer service, right? He had zero empathy when I expressed that I wasn’t happy with the work done. Long story short, I drove to the garage to discuss the situation. He finally said I could leave it over night to be looked at.
He never called during the day to update me on the status and almost closed the garage without telling me my car was «ready». He told me that he idled the engine for hours while running the AC. Told me there were no problems. He didn’t even drive it!
Surprise surprise, my AC hasn’t worked since 2 weeks after I got it back. My car is still awful to drive! I owe it all to Fred and his garage! «Thanks!»
I’m so aggravated with Fred and his garage that I will never ever take my car back to them to be «repaired». I’d rather just avoid the idiot all together and chalk this one up as a loss.

Best car shop in town. I’ve been going to this shop for service for years. Honest and competitive priced.

I love my car. It is my first and my baby. So when it had an electrical issue I shopped around so many places and was given ridiculous quotes. I was so bothered because the diagnostics were inconsistent and overpriced for what seemed to be the issue. So I passed by this shop and gave it a try. It took him 2 minutes to connect a loose wire. That was it. He did not even charge me. He just looked at me with a sweet you-are-so-car-dumb-it’s-cute look and wished me a good day. That was how I finally found a good honest auto electrical mechanic. He doesn’t only fix loose wires. I have been back and his diagnostics and repairs are quick and fair priced.
You can trust this guy.
