For tires and an oil change, this place, OK. Anything else, beware... February 22, 2012, I brought my 2004 Hyundai Sonata for an oil leak and engine hesitation. Place repaired the valve cover gasket for the oil leak, sent me on my way, could not find any reason for hesitation. The car stalled one block from place, they pushed it back into the shop. Stayed overnight. Next day shop found oil leak had made it into the timing belt and had messed up a sensor. They cleaned everything up and the car worked fine, they recommended I change timing belt which I did not. I complained of a power steering leak, but they advised all was fine, or that it wasn't so bad to make a repair, or something to that effect. Fast forward to last week June, 2012. Car has been hesitating for a while, plus I smelled an oil leak. I only took the car for an oil change, somewhere else, where a terrible oil leak was identified from the valve cover gasket. They identified as well that the power steering pump was leaking so bad it had ruined the rack and pinion (estimate to repair around $1,200) A second shop concurred and found that the lower control arm bushing was all worn out and also needed replacing. Second shop estimate, including replace the timing belt, was $3,900. This Goodyear shop said they valve cover gasket was warranted (as if I should have taken the vehicle there) and when asked about the stalling issue, first they said the oil damaged a sensor and when I pointed out that the oil from their failed repair damaged the sensor, he backtracked saying the sensor failure was unrelated to the oil... not much of a surprise there. I also told the manager that the repair they did not do, brake lights not working in the 1997 Blazer, where they also told me that I had to go to the dealer to fix the ABS switch (light was on) that would cost $600-800 was fixed by going in the internet and seeing the common problem of the hazard light switch sticking. The problem was fixed by spraying some WD-40 and working the switch in/out. The shop charged me $50 to tell me the light bulbs were fine and that they couldn't do more because they had no electrician there... guess the bulbs were checked by a concierge... when I asked why didn't he tell me that's all they would do -I had already told him the brake lights were intermittent- he said they had to pay someone to do the "diagnostic" Do yourself a favor, if you need a mechanic, don't go to this place!
