I just had my rear brakes and a differential service done - I couldn’t be happier with the work or the very reasonable price that was charged…even less than the original estimate! Plus, the guys couldn’t have been nicer. Definitely a new and happy customer.
I have been taking my vehicles to A-1 Auto Repair for the last 10 years. Singh is honest, does professional work, has the the most reasonable prices in our area. I highly recommend Singh for all of your auto mechanic needs.
Told him $20 cash regular while holding a$20 bill out the window pumped $35 in second time in a week they use their inability to speak English to rip off customers AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!!!!
This is a recommended AAA location. AAA has been advised of my experience.
The job: I needed to have my brake lines flushed after doing the brake pads and rotors myself. The brakes were barely responsive when I was done. So AAA towed me to A-1 Auto.
The problem: They flushed my brakes in less than 12 hours which I thought was great. Upon leaving, I noticed the brakes grabbed but felt incredibly spongy. Nowhere near how they felt OEM. So I brought the issue up to the mechanic. He replied by saying I needed to drive it around for a bit. Which seemed reasonable. What do I know right?! Wrong. I got home and I couldn't let the concern go. It just didn't "feel right". So I popped open the hood and noticed the brake master cylinder lid hadn't been shut all the way and there was brake fluid all over that section of the engine bay.
So I went to another mechanic, recommended to me by my family, and they found that the lines had a lot of air in them still, which is what A-1 should have discovered and corrected. So they did the job and, for a fraction of the cost. But more importantly, my brakes were finally working OEM.
I returned to A-1 and explained the issue and my experience. He replied by saying, "Did the brakes works better or worse than before?" I'm sorry but brakes, the thing that stops your whole car, should not be a question of "better or worse." I expressed my frustration again saying that I informed you that the brakes felt wrong on the day he intitially did the job and he refused to look at them again. He preferred I try my luck on the road.
A-1's mechanic ultimately refunded me the price of the other mechanic's job, $40 but not the full about of $100 that he charged me to put my life at risk with a shotty brake job. Upon leaving, he yelled "F@#$ you!"
Moral of the story: Stay Away from A-1 Auto.
They don't take accountability for their poor work and will gift you with an expletive on the way out.
