First time here. They replaced the front two motor mounts on my Diesel Ram and replaced the transmission line.Their communication was excellent, prices were about what I expected, and turnaround time was very quick. Took them 2 days from diagnostic to finish.I will definitely be back.

I want to thank Dad’s Automotive Services for their excellent customer service and for all of the help. Everyone at the shop is so kind and caring and willing to help you out in anyway they possibly can. My husband and I had to leave our vehicle for a couple of hours and we were going to walk home but these amazing men offered us a ride. WOW!! I definitely will recommend this shop to all of my family and friends! Thank you again guys!!!! You’re the BEST! Special thanks to Richie and Angel!

Long story short: take your tough jobs to Dad's. They are not the cheapest around but they are honest and they get it done when other shops can't or won't.I bought a '99 Silverado 1500 from my cousin that has some sentimental value since it has been in the family for years, and is somewhat rare being a single cab short bed Z71. I knew it was rough shape when I got it but didn't know how bad it actually was until I brought it to Dad's. I should mention that I took it to four other shops before this. All of them charged good money and told me different things, but didn't solve the main problems of overheating and not passing smog.The job turned out to be much tougher and take longer than any of us expected. The truck itself basically needed the engine rebuilt above the trans, head gaskets, lifters and all plus new cat converters, radiator, fan, and a bunch more. The guys ran into trouble just about every step of the way but stuck with it. Robert gave me a call every week to let me know what was going on, good and bad. I appreciated that.In the end I know the guys spent more time and money on this job than expected but they stuck by their original estimate. I believe they actually put in more hours than they even charged me for overall. I picked the truck up last week, got it registered the same day and since then have been testing it by driving it on the freeway and up the mountain to the dump, which is where it had a lot of problems before. The truck is running like an absolute champion now.I couldn't be happier with how it turned out and even though it was a tough job, I appreciate how Robert and Richie and the rest of the gang over there handled it as professionals. I recommend them to anybody who has a vehicle that is important to them.Services: Exhaust

I had my brakes worked on at Dad's. They did a nice job repairing my front and rear brakes. They were pleasant to work with and appear to have done a nice job. I'll be back when I need further work.

Took my suburban in for service about 5 months ago. Met Robert and explain the problems I was having. He took care of me and found exactly what was wrong. I then took my Malibu last week and Robert remembered me and got me going again. Robert and Julia were very helpful.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

NegativesTook 27 daysRemoved a dealer installed option, did not reinstallTire pressure was 50 PSI low on one tire when I picked it upThey bought and installed a part from the dealer onto my vehicle, before asking approvalVehicle is now throwing codes that seem to relate to installed partNo repair should take a month. Before taking your car there, drive by at night and see how many are parked in there. Do you really want to leave your car downtown for a month? Can you be without your car for a month. It’s not like you can get a rental, because for me they just kept expanding the time it would take.Removing and not putting back a dealer installed option is just wrong. It is going to cost me a lot of money to get it back at the dealer. Inventory and write down all possessions and settings on your car before leaving with them.Letting a car sit for a month, and not checking that the tire pressure is safe to drive is sloppy at best. At worst, check out the review by Amara W. over on yelp. This could have easily caused me to be in an accident as soon as I hit the freeway.Please notice how they respond to negative reviews. A lot of them are just plain victim blaming of their customers. Please also read their yelp negative reviews. I wish I hadThey do ask you to leave a review here, with the caveat “If you were satisfied”. Probably one reason that their rating is higher here than on yelp.Be sure to search the public records as well. Here is what I found after the fact searching for Dad's Automotive.

Why is this repair shop so expensive? Diagnostic: $277. Hourly rate: $175.00 an hour. Longs is $125, Top Tech $125.00 an hour. If dads needs to charge that much then they should just go out of business. Outrageous crazy prices!!. Don't pay this price, go to another repair shop.
