      Went to get my O2 sensors checked and after I left they called me 15 mins later after I drove my car that they forgot to reattach the O2 sensors. The owner, ****, had me drive it back there to reconnect them, then simply said its just one of those ****** up things, leave a bad review and that he had other cars to work on. They did not do anything to compensate me for my time or the damage to my car. They dont do enough to avoid mistakes on simple work and ***** attitude about it was even worse. Would definitely avoid going to them.

      The worst experience I have ever had with a mechanic.****** at Mechanics Pride told me they could inspect the vehicle. We had insurance, so he told me they would charge an Admin fee of $135 (one shop hour) to deal with insurance.He told me I needed new tires, the metal was showing, a new battery, and the brakes were almost due to be replaced with only 20% left. I told him to not address any of these issues. The exposed metal tread was concerning. However, ****** blatantly lied about the exposed metal tread. We disagree, but Mechanics Pride exaggerated how dire this additional work was, I think to add to the cost of the repair bill. When discussing pricing with Mechanics Pride, ****** threatened to add an additional Admin Fee. I felt I wasnt allowed to discuss pricing with this threat. ****** also threatened the Insurance Specialist with the Admin Fee. I was willing to take our business to an entirely new shop, but at that point ****** called me and told me work had already begun. I did NOT authorize repairs. I felt my car was being held hostage at that point. I considered consulting an attorney but decided to just pay the ****** and get my vehicle back. After I picked up the vehicle, it made a rattling noise whenever I accelerated, and a window had a sensor issue where it would open after being closed. They took the car back, fixed the motor mount and tried to fix the window sensor for a 2nd time. The window still did not work. I chose not to let them try a 3rd time. The steering is sloppier now, and there is still minor noise. I rate the repair as mediocre to adequate. I feel that management of Mechanics Pride has a false veneer of customer service. In my opinion, ******************************************* ****************************** is a shop that contributes to the negative stereotype of mechanics. So, for a used rack and pinion, and 1 used wheel I paid $2,576.13 for a 2018 ******* decide for yourself if this was a fair price.
