Thank you Joey and the crew at ACE Radiator! You guys came through while we were on vacation at Cruizin the Coast 2023. Joey got my radiator patched up so we could drive our car back home safely. Here s a photo of us returning to Houma.

Like many other users, we were quoted an outrageous price for parts and labor and lied to about the "check out" fee, which mysteriously increased after we told them we weren't going to use their services.They gave us a detailed written quote which included the cost of parts from O'Reilly. When we looked up the exact same parts, we found that they overcharged us for parts for $400. We were told that the "check out" fee was $48 on the phone, but when we showed up an hour later it jumped up to $96 because they said they had to put it on the rack.When we tried to pay the extra cost with a card just to be done with it, they tried to charge us a service charge unless we wanted to run to the ATM and get cash. This is a violation of their credit card merchant agreement. They are not allowed to do that - only certain entities (usually governmental) are allowed to charge service fees for card usage as part of their agreement with the card issuers.Instead of taking any accountability they tried to tell us that we could take our Jeep anywhere else and see if we get a better price. We eventually did - Jerry's Automotive in Hattiesburg. Parts and labor, Jerry charged us $1,000 than this place. ACE is run by crooks.TLDR: They tried to overcharge us by $400, doubled the "check out" fee when we declined to use them, and then tried to ding us with ticky tack service charges.

Charles Davis (Stormy was my cat of 16plus year) , I have been going here since Joey was a kid. Joey's father was an icon, fair, honest , just a very good person. Years later I heard Joey was in his father's business and I began going back. I had extensive brake work last year. Good work, I wanted some more work but I was advised that safety was fine and I was told what was causing the noise issues. Joey's father had done all my AC work and I took it to Joey and they corrected the problem , pleased with the work and with the bill. On Monday I tried to get in and the next avaliable appointment was 8 days away. This kind of tells you that many people trust and believe in this business. I have never visited without them being extremely busy. 4.8 stars really....they are very busy and no free bar while you wait are the only minimal issues i see.Services: Auto brake repair, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Auto brake replacement

I spent $2,441.50 (after I received a written quote of $1,054.35) and my air conditioner is still leaking coolant. It has to be recharged.regularly until I can find another A/C shop where I will have to spend more money. I made multiple trips having people drive me here when I was told I could pick my vehicle up, and each time there was an excuse. I advise that you find someone who knows what they're doing and stands behind their work.

We took our car here on recommendation of a shop we have used for years. They did lots of thorough work. We had an issue after picking it up and took it back in and they checked into it right away and made it right!!

First off Joey was recommended to me from a co-worker said he stands behind his work. And does good work. It shows he is always busy. I ve had a chance to talk to the owner and he is just a good dude. I recommend this shop.

I was on a business trip and I needed my breaks changed and 1 rear caliper fixed on my vehicle I was excited to go here until I started speaking to the owner instead of genuinely helping the customers this shop is absolutely all about the money ! The owner gave me an estimate for 2 calipers new hose , break system 2 rotors and etc for the price of $604!! Which Was outrageous for a minor problem like this one . When I came back and told them I was going to pass on letting them fix my car b cause of the price the owner got so angry you see it in his face the first thing that came out his mouth was well there a 20 dollar check out fee I said sir how come you didn t let me know that and I specifically asked them to no do anything until they say a price he argued witH me and told me he can make it 60 dollars because he had my car lifted in the air THATS ALL ! Worst experience ever what great welcome to Mississippi !!!!!!

Found myself stranded while attending Cruisin' the Coast. This shop was recommended by a local and they were excellent. Got to my car quickly, diagnosed a bad starter, and got me back on the road in under 3 hours.

This is the most awful experience i have ever had in my life!!! Joey the owner quotes me the price of $634 to replace my belt and alternator. He told me the alternator was $320 by itself so after doing my research i realize he lied to me my alternator was $185 so then turn around and tells me if i get the part myself there is no warranty on his work which absolutely makes no sense. At this point im stuck i have no choice but to pay the $634 because he has my car tore apart. Im so disgusted right now. I will never refer anyone here nor will i ever come here again. Oh and thats after he has had my car two days and didn't feel the need to let me know what was going on.

We were driving from Tallahassee to DFW when the Fuel Pump on our Classic 1962 Corvette died. We tried to fix it ourselves in an O'reilly's Parking lot but they did not have the right parts in stock.Joey, the owner of Ace happened to be there and tried to make what they did have work, but it was not to be. He had the car towed to his shop so as to get it off the streets and locked up safely. Then he took us to a Hotel at 10pm for a good night's rest. He call the next morning saying that he had a new Fuel Pump coming from Biloxi and should have it by Noon; and would be by to pick us up at 10:30.The Fuel Pump arrived before noon and we were on the road to Texas by 1:00pm. The total cost? Very Reasonable with NO extra charges for his efforts at O'Reilly's nor the taxiing back and forth to the Hotel.I can truly say if you want a Fair and Honest Repair Shop for your car; take it to Ace Radiator and work with Joey. He is a True Gentleman in a Business known for Rip-offs. You will be treated with Respect, Integrity, and Honesty.
