Kirkpatrick’s Serv

My old review was five stars. I cannot recommend the new ownership for older cars. After being told I needed two thousand dollars of repairs on a car worth roughly that, I went elsewhere where the car passed inspection with flying colors. But because I had trusted them so much, I sold the car and purchased a newer used car with very low mileage. Bringing that in, I was told that I needed over a thousand dollars of repairs. This was a car that had just passed inspection elsewhere. So with great regret I cannot recommend them.
Here is my old review, explaining what has changed so much:
Having seen him for years, I know that he will make right anything he can’t fix initially and that he’ll tell you straight what is likely to be wrong. I’ve also gone to the dealer for my Toyota, and they just roll me through without any interaction. If you want someone who will tell you what you need to hear, do the work well or make it right, and who’ll treat you like a human being, then go to Kirkpatrick’s.

Owner is a condescending j-​off. You’re better off bringing your VW to the dealership. He’ll overcharge and won’t get job done.
