Flash Automotive

2 days and $ 130 to «diagnose» a disconnected line and fill with transmission fluid. That’s ok. When I asked to have it explained why it took so long and cost so much I was told to «do it myself and not bring it in if I thought I could do better». That is not ok. It was towed by AAA and this was their recommended shop. Next time I’ll take the guys advice and have it taken anywhere else but Flash.

A friend recommended Flash Auto. She brings her Subaru there because they do «excellent, honest work and treat women with respect.» Flash Auto took good care of my vintage Toyota pick up. Chris used simple language to explain options and charges to me. Jerry encouraged me to be proactive, showing me something to keep watch on. I felt informed. I notice a bad Unilocal review by a woman complaining of «condescending attitude» and how they got her on the road faster than expected. I read some of the reviewers other Unilocal comments, you know how the annoying squeaky hinge gets the oil first? True, Flash Auto is not the cheapest mechanic in town, but I believe you get what you pay for. Maintaining a safe vehicle is important to me and I will pay good money when customer service and quality are excellent. I know several women besides myself who take our vehicles to Flash Auto and have consistently good experiences.

Are you a woman who wants to be overcharged??? Even for some parts and labor you don’t need???
Well then this is the place for you! Condescending attitude is free of charge.
Only redeeming factor — they got to my car earlier than expected.
Hope to NEVER go back.

Most females I know cringe at the thought of taking their car to a mechanic and getting ripped off especially with A/​C problems which can be costly.
I went here based on web reviews and was not disappointed. Chris, the service manager, was friendly and explained everything. They examined my car and explained recommendations. Charges were reasonable and service prompt. They have a waiting room with wi-​fi. I highly recommend them for auto maintenance and repairs knowing you won’t get ripped off.
