THEY TOLD ME TO "BE CAREFUL" WHEN I PICKED MY DURANGO UP (AND PAID CLOSE TO $900) I ASSUME THAT TO "BE CAREFUL" MEANT IF I WASNT CAREFUL, THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. THEY DID NOT TELL ME THAT THE CAR WAS A DEATH TRAP. THEIR REPAIR BROKE WHILE I WAS ON THE 52 WEST, COMING HOME FROM WORK. I WAS GOING 55 MPH ON A STRAIGHT PATH IN DRY WEATHER WHEN MY RIGHT FRONT END SUDDENLY DROPPED, CAUSING ME TO ROLL 2 1/2 TIMES ACROSS ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC, ONLY STOPPING WHEN I HIT THE EMBANKMENT. I WAS TRAPPED IN MY DURANGO, UPSIDE DOWN, SEAT BELT STUCK AND AIR BAG DEPLOYED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY CAR WAS TOTALLED. THANKFULLY, THIS ROLLOVER ACCIDENT DIDN'T RESULT IN MULTIPLE DEATHS. I HAVE INJURIES I AM STILL BEING TREATED FOR 10 MONTHS LATER AND I LOST MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T HAVE FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE BECAUSE IT WAS AN OLDER VEHICLE. CLAIREMONT AUTO CARE REFUSED TO REFUND THE MONEY I SPENT FOR THE REPAIR --ALMOST $900. LIKEWISE, THEY WOULDN'T REIMBURSE ME FOR THE LOSS OF MY VEHICLE WHICH I HAD ONLY PURCHASED 9 MONTHS EARLIER FOR 2K. THEY DID OFFER TO GIVE ME A DISCOUNT TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR BILL, IF I PURCHASED A CAR FROM THEM. I WOULD NEVER KNOWINGLY DRIVE ANY CAR THEY HAVE WORKED ON AGAIN. GUESS WE WILL BE GOING TO COURT. BY THE WAY.... THE ACCIDENT WAS SO TERRIFYING, I DIDN'T DRIVE AGAIN FOR SIX MONTHS. I DONT KNOW IF I WILL EVER DRIVE COMFORTABLY AGAIN.

Showed them the paperwork for the registration, they quickly looked over the car and I already knew it needed a tune up because it ran pretty bad. Andy jumped on the phone to get me a new cap and rotor, plug wires, plugs and some other small things. Up in the air it went for the oil change, 15 minutes went by, oil change done and up pulled a little hybrid delivery car with all the parts for the tune up, to my surprise they were OEM, can't beat that. The 2 mechanic team jumped on the tuneup, 30 minutes and Andy was on a test drive. Before I even knew it I heard a humming noise and I looked out the sliding glass door to see my car on the smog dyno machine. Honestly I was not there for more than 75 minutes and was out the door with my passed smog for under $250.00 I told Andy simply amazing turnaround, quality and work and most important I still have money for food!!! Andy told me that they were rarely have repairs that are not completed the day the car comes in. You can't go wrong with Andy and his team! A++++++++++++++++

I recently moved from LA and have used the same mechanic for 15yrs on my Acura's, so I was hesitant to find a new one in SD. I was so pleased to find Ryan, b/c his approach was very similar to Jay my previous mechanic. He was able to fix my brakes, change the oil, replace the door locking mechanism, and have Hertz pick me up and get me a rental car: all for a reasonable price.
