Went in to get a starter replaced. Great fair price and amazing mechanics. I used to own a mechanic shop that i sold and these people know what they are doing A++

Completely ripped off. Just going to keep it short. I came in here with my 2001 Volkswagen Beetle on February 9, 2015 and asked for them to look at the vehicle to see what was wrong with it because the car was jerking upon acceleration. A day later they tell me it needs a completely new transmission. Costing me a whopping $ 1602.51 for a used transmission. Being desperate for a car to stop jerking my fiancé offered to help me out and we put down $ 895 to get the work started.
After 3 weeks of a headache with them not keeping me updated on anything and I constantly calling and being told I would be called back but never was, the car was finally ready to be picked up on February 25, 2015. After driving off the lot and taking it for a test run the car shows signs of jerking still! I immediately called them to let them know and was told that the car has a lot of issues and needs 3 other recommended fixtures. I decided to do some research on this.
This same night not only did I find out that they were over charging for parts and charging labor costs up the butt I contacted them back and was told to bring the car back to test it together. Of course on our test run the jerking is still there. After going back and fourth with the mechanic getting no resolution I decided to just assume maybe it need his «recommended fixtures» so i paid $ 185 to change the boost valves.
Just today March 2, 2015 I just kept having a hard time swallowing the fact that I paid $ 1602.51 to replace a transmission and it didn’t fix the jerking issue. So I reached out to a Volkswagen Specialist and found Full Throttle on google.
Not only did Full Throttle fix the jerking in just 10 minutes but they didn’t charge me a dime. They also told me real issues wrong with the car such as bad spark plugs and strut mounts all of which is only going to cost me a little over $ 200 bucks which is muchhhh less than $ 1602 and I don’t even know if I really needed a new transmission. Wish I would have gone to Full Throttle to begin with but now I’m leaving this for the Better Business Bureau to look into and hope to get some of money back or old transmission and a full refund. This was a crazy ride, please consider another mechanic. Feel free to read another review on google that had the same issue 4 months ago from them.

I am a regular, they do a great job with my car and try to find the best prices for the parts.
The staff is very friendly and I can use their desktop while I wait, so I don’t waste any time at all.
Thank you guys.

Pretty good service aside from the price jumping. $ 200 then $ 600 then $ 1,050! Yes they kept finding stuff that was wrong. But the didn’t do the best job of explaining to me what exactly was wrong. I do think I will go back but only cause the offer many deals and discounts!

10 out of 10. Period. I will not take my car anywhere else. I drive a newish lexus SUV so I don’t trust a lot of people with it. After reading google+ reviews I took the drive to get some serious work done. These guys were about $ 600 less than what I was quoted at other places not even the authorized Lexus dealership. The moment I walked in the door I was greeted with a smile. Air conditioned comfortable waiting area with coffee/​water and a computer. Giovanni is the MAN! Absolutely first rate service. I’m speechless that I received such great service/​attention from what I thought would be a typical run of the mill shop.
PROS: Service, prices, staff!!!
CONS: Nothing!

Got my car aligned here. Service was great and very professional. Did a great job and at an awesome price. Will recommend
