I originally had given a 5 star rating. The first time I took my vehicle in they charged a $110 diagnostic. Hoping they will actually diagnose my leak and of course the check engine light. I got my van back after the first "repair" and paid for the amount of the repair just to have my vehicle leaking more fluid than before and the check engine light came back on. I took it back. They notice they over filled my transmission fluid and they had to drain some of the fluid and then reset the check engine light "assuming" (their words not mine) that draining that and making it the correct level to fix the check engine light. They did an oil change which now my car keeps showing I need to change my oil still so they never reset that. Well surprise surprise my check engine light came back on. I came in for a 3rd time to be told I would be charged again but they were going to flush my coolant system and check something else out with the transmission. I call and get told they had to run tests and didn't do any work but strangely the invoice amount was still the $231 they quoted for a coolant flush and other stuff for the transmission. I go pick up my van and they charged 2 testing fees of $110 and some material fee. Kinda weird that the first diagnose test they should have checked fully so I wouldn't have to come back 3 times and have to pay 3 diagnose fees just because they dont know how to do it the first time. Sadly they lost all my trust along with some others close to me that had done business with them and will no longer. I dont feel anyone should have to pay these fees over and over of they didnt do it correctly the first time as they should have. I should have charged fees for each time I had to miss work for their lazy diagnostic testing that caused me to go without a vehicle.
I apologize for the frustration Jenn, 1st diagnostic fee was to figure out what was leaking so badly. 2nd was to figure out why the vehicle computer believes the vehicle is not reaching operating temperature. The third was to determine what the internal transmission problem was. As I stated I was hoping the fluid leak problem would solve the internal transmission problem, but it did not. Testing is currently the hardest part of the automotive industry right now. As for not resetting the maintenance light, that is inexcusable and I will do that if you bring it back.
