Corky’s Auto Repair

I saw some of the negative reviews before coming here. Not justified. Very clean shop, Kenny triaged my brake problem before sending me to the office, reasonably priced fix, reasonable time-​to-​fix and a ride home. The only negative is that the coffee pot had clicked off an hour or so before I got there. Thanksgiving is next week — I will add the team at Corky’s to my list of things to be thankful for.

Honest, professional repairs for a fraction of the cost and time from the local dealership I had gone to previously.

I always use this shop when ever I have something I can’t fix on my own. They always take good care of me I highly recommend this shop.

Today I went to Corky’s! I never trust mechanics and I was so scared to go to one now. My dad and I have always worked on our own cars but every once in a while something goes wrong that is beyond our abilities. My family goes to Corky’s and I have heard good things about them all around town. So this morning my dad and I brought my baby to Corky’s They were so nice to me and immediately started looking at my car. They plugged it up to the code reader and figured out the problem right away, I bought a new battery because mine as 5+ years old and new connections for the battery. They didn’t charge me for the diagnostics, the labor, or for fixing my heater and when I told Dave I worked for JLC Air, Inc. they even offered to let bring in business cards to hand out. They were wonderful and gave my a new opinion of mechanics. Dave and Joe are great guys in my book!

We used to be proud customers of Corky’s but things changed. I went to get a 100 000 work then my cruise control stopped working, but most Neon’s cruise control fail after 100K. But becuase their receptionist Marsha got very ill they hired a new one, and she acts like she owns the place. She was so rude to my son and me, they not only lost my business, but my son and my mother in law. Dave you need to take control of your place. One pissed off customer equals three former clients

This is the first time Unilocal has ever steered me wrong.
To begin, the mechanics/​personnel were VERY rude. We paid $ 55 for a diagnostic and estimate (power steering fluid leak). This resulted in an over $ 200 quote to replace a hose. I remembered these reviews and didn’t hesitate to approve this repair.
I COMPLETELY regret not going elsewhere. Long story short: we got the car back with a loud screeching, when they looked at it they said it was the belt. They told us it was because we drove it without the power steering fluid for so long.
We got 3 other opinions:
1. Whoever did the repair allowed fluid to get on it. They should have told you and if you take it back they shouldn’t charge you labor.
2. They knew whether this belt needed to be replaced and would have been able to do it they same time they replaced the hose.
3. It’s the belt. It was obviously wet somehow and allowed to dry, your only option is to get it replaced.
I called them and (quite frankly) endured one of the most idiotic conversations I have had.
«Well the belt was fine»
«Okay, everyone I spoke with said it got wet and it happened during the repair»
«Well…no, the belt was saturated and there’s no way we could have known it would make that noise»
«wouldn’t a wet belt need to be replaced»
«well, yeah, but there’s no way we could have predicted it would dry and make the noise»
«so the belt was WET and you didn’t know it would dry»
«there’s just no way we could have predicted it»
They wanted to charge materials & LABOR. We ended up going to Elite car care on Palmdale Blvd and they gave us a good deal (under the circumstances, but still over $ 100).
More than one belt got «saturated», and Corky’s only offered to replace one.
If you’d like to take your car to a mechanic that will lie to you and make your car worse off than it already is… take it here. :)

The AAA dude did his test on my battery, starter and alternator. Apparently it was all good except my alternator wasn’t charging.
Asked my BIL if he knew of any reputable mechanics.
Corky’s was on the shortlist.
They’re honest. Tested my alternator twice and couldn’t find anything wrong with it! Just when I was going to have it replaced based on the AAA dude’s recommendation.
Hourly rate for labor is $ 75 — super reasonable.

I took my car here for a tune up, transmission check and battery oh and also brakes. Found the owner to be VERY honest and friendly. All the guys in the shop were all working very hard.
The only thing I would change is the lady in the office blah blah blah.
if you don’t like your job then go find another one. Just because someone comes in there, does not mean they are there to see you.
