Two stars because they fixed the problem I went in for and did it well, with good pricing. The workers I came into contact with seemed nice enough. However... I had a clutch replaced, everything else was working perfectly when I took my car in. After coming out my AC no longer works and there's a worrying shake that feels engine related sometimes when I start my car. Took them way longer than expected to finish the maintenance, it's a sketchy area filled with junk cars, and my car was left unlocked outside in their parking lot after they finished. Wouldn't recommend.

The worst I have ever experienced in my life they keep your car forever and never answer the phone at all. They will give you the car back and still be broken. When you give it back they will charge you for the repairs that they messed up on . If you refuse they will try to do a mechanic lien and take ownership of your car and sell it for their own benefit. Do not go to this shop if you want to save your own time and month .

Dropped off vehicle in the evening for work. Told it would be done mid day the following. Called and said it would be finished in 30 minutes end of day. Showed up to all the mechanics in the office and waited an 90 minutes longer for them to get up to finish the job. Drive it off the lot and almost crashed in a ditched due to no steering. Very I professional and don't seem to care about the customer. Didn't finish the entire job I requested. Don't go here!

This business is partners with A+ Muffler, as well as sharing space and likely employees.First, as I drove up I found their work area to be filled with junk cars, along with other auto businesses that share portions of a building. This is NOT the place you should send your wife to for a repair.But since i was here, I followed the signs and walked into the business where I noticed a worker, went toward him, and immediatly saw the look of disgust on his face. Hoping for the best, I told him I needed a couple of resonators welded on. He then cut me off in midsentence, raised his voice and told me that I need to turn around, walk back outside and go to the office. Shocked I looked behind me and saw that there was a plywood shack office not 15 feet away. I moved to go toward it when the man got louder and said again to go back outside and come back in.At this point I felt that he was quite willing to force me if necessary. So, I told him he just lost my businesses. He chuckled First, as I drove up I found their work area to be filled with junk cars, along with other auto businesses that share portions of a building.

I'd their attitude is anything like their work, you're vehicle is in danger.After leaving, I called the office and told them part of my pro lem and would write a review.

The only good thing I can say is that the ladies at the front desk were very nice and tried to do what they could. They were the only ones I ever spoke to. My husband may have actually spoke to a mechanic when he called, but no one ever took the initiative to call us, except when they claimed the car was fixed.I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas and my son lives in Killeen. My car broke down in route to Killeen. We knew we needed the engine replaced. My husband and I opted to have the car fixed in Killeen, rather than rent a truck and trailer to haul the car back home. Hindsight is most definitely 20/20.When my husband told me that it would be 5 weeks before the car was done, I thought that was a great deal of time, but I m pretty na�ve about these things, since I rarely have car trouble. I ve since been told by my mechanic brother that 3 weeks would have been pushing it. The car was done after 7 weeks and 5 days. By the time I got to Killeen, it was 8 weeks that I d gone without my car.This story is long and there are so many things to mention, that I will number my grievances, so that it s easier to find where I mentioned something later. I thought about contacting the Better Business Bureau I m serious, if they can t do customers better than this, they really don t need to be in business but decided not to solely on the premise that it would be a legal case and it s just not worth it. I don t want to deal with the back and forth communication to try to get the problem resolved. The only problem that needs resolving is better customer service. When a customer comes to get their car after spending over $5,700 and waiting 8 weeks, they should be able to drive the thing normally and not have to do further repairs. I ve been wondering if I was taken advantage of because of not living there in town. I would have come and got the car and took it elsewhere, had I lived there. I didn t want to trouble my son with it. We decided to just wait it out.Anyway, here s the story in chronological order:1. In the beginning, my husband was told that replacing the engine wouldn t cost more than $5,000. Then, after agreeing to it and having left the car there, we were told $5,700. According to Kelley Blue book, that s a little more than the car is worth, though dealerships are selling cars like mine for $6,000-$7,000. We figured it s still worth it if we had the quirks fixed (mentioned in #3) and the fact that I just really love that car plus the distance from Fayetteville to Killeen.2. My husband was also told that it would take 5 weeks for the car to be repaired, which is really too long. It is a big job, but my husband s transmission went out a few weeks back and it was fixed and ready to be picked up on the Friday of the same week. Looking back, I can t believe we went with this option instead of renting a truck and trailer and just transporting my car home. We know people here and we could have been done quicker and it probably would have cost much less. I just hated the thought of pulling a trailer for 10 hours to get it home.3. I e-mailed C&M about 5 little quirks on my car that I d wanted fixed, if it cost no more than an additional $100. I wish I d been more clear that I d wanted to get whatever I could fixed for $100. I never got a response. More about this listed below in other numbers.4. If I wanted to find out anything, I had to call them. Customers should be given status reports and requests (like my e-mail) should be responded to without the customer having to call about it especially when the customer is without their car for weeks. When a customer is told that the mechanic will call back, the mechanic should call back or at least somebody. That really made me mad. However, I didn t want to gripe at the ladies at the front desk. I bet they hear from a lot of angry customers and it s not even their fault, or at least I hope they did give the message to the mechanic??See Pictures for remainder of reviewService: Engine repair
