C & C Auto Repair

This is a continuance review of my original Midas review as my adventures of finding an honest mechanic comes to an end. After leaving George’s Shell Repair shop, I gave a friend a ride over to the «candy shop» in the area and ended up walking across the lot to inquire about pricing on getting my truck repaired. First off, let me say that with the representatives at Midas, Pep Boys, and George’s Shell Repair, none were straight forward or even seemed to care after they were dismissed with their outrageous prices, but the owner (seen in the photo) got right to the point after stopping what he was doing and checking out the sounds my truck was making. He gave me a straight answer getting right to the point, said it could be one of three things regarding my coil. When I asked how much he would charge me for the diagnostic’s test, he said $ 25…did you get that? T.W.E.N.T.Y.-F.I.V.E-D.O.L.L.A.R.S!!! Not only is that less than Midas ($ 54), Pep Boys ($ 90), and George’s Shell ($ 129), but he said he’d waive it if I chose to go on with the repairs. W.O.W…are you in awe yet?
Well since my truck is my only source of transportation, I knew I planned on getting it fix, I’m just really glad that I took a chance and walked over. In the end, he pulled out all six of my coils to illustrate his findings, he pointed out exactly what the problem was and which ones needed to be replaced. In case, your curiosity is like mines, I ended up needing to replace 2. The best part about this situation was how nice and honest he was. Not too many mechanics are considerate towards females, I can tell by the way they talk to me or their body language as if being dismissed based solely on my sex. It didn’t take long after the parts arrived and he only charged me for parts plus $ 75 for labor… not too many places would do that.
I’m a straight forward type of person and I expect it from who I come in contact with. If mechanics are dismissive in the beginning, like the vibes I picked up from the other three repair shops, and the prices are high, yet they’re not willing to meet you half way, than I’m glad I didn’t just settle because I’d hate to see what they would charge for parts and labor, especially if their diagnostic’s test cost more than what I ended up paying to get my truck to be repaired! It pays to do your homework… lol I’ll definitely be coming back, hopefully my next experience will be a 5 star review. This review only got 4 stars because it was late and I’m grumpy like that!

Went in to check my back right tire. It was making a really bad clanking sound. Turns out my caliber was going out and my brakes were moving around freely. NOT GOOD. Owner of the business fixed everything that was wrong in less than 2 hours and also fixed my cigarete lighter and sunroof in a matter of minutes. Very knowledgeable and know exactly what they were doing. Family owned business, very friendly people and will definatly go back whenever I have mechanical problems. Highly recommended !

I came in to do check engine lights on and so I can smog check the car. Spends $ 500 on changing 3 sensors, tune up, clean air intake and lights still on and can’t pass smog check. I left the car for one day to be fixed and an empty promise all I got. The engine light is on again! Left the place and I went to another place, I had another mechanic work on the car, another diagnostic, change catalytic converter and another tune up. Pass the smog check and no engine lights on. What a wasted time and money to spend on. Never coming back and NOT recommended.

I highly recommend this mechanic. Very honest, Very chill, and very knowledgable. I showed up towards closing time and he was able to help me and have my car fix and running in no time!!!
