Engine repair service near Stockton, CA

Got my 1995 Dodge caravan worked on after I had taken it to so many places and there was no change on it.

place is a joke, no competent mechanics----they don't know anything about high end cars.

I restored a 1970 BMW. This shop disassembled the transmission and reassembled it. I asked them to replace seals, fluids and let me know if there were issues. They I paid them to install the transmission as we had issues connecting it to the engine. I was charged about $1500 for the work. We got the engine working a few months ago and took it for a ride. The transmission leaks and the car will not go to second gear. I talked to Bud about it and he refused to work on it or refund money for the work. He blamed it on me and my car for some reason. I paid him what he asked. He told me to sue him if I wanted to get the money back. Worst car repair transaction I have ever experienced.

I will stay out of these stores. I went to a Napa Auto Parts, It was like heaven from Kragen

Terry is very helpful & definitely has the best prices in town. I will be taking my business there & will definitely refer anyone I know in need of auto services there as well.

The most honest auto shop in Modesto. I highly recommend this shop to EVERYONE!!! They got my car up and running within 24 hours.

1 - very bad accuracy with completion time. We called earlier last week and made an appointment to drop off the vehicle on Wednesday, they told us it would be completed by Friday with confidence. So we expected the vehicle to be done 2 days later, vehicle ended up being done the following week on Wednesday, 7 days later. Not the biggest issue, things happen, but the events to follow with such a remarkable delay in comparison is very bad, also considering every following day we were unable to get an accurate statement when vehicle would be done, which altered are scheduled day by day. 2 - apparently they have only one main mechanic to work on vehicles, they told us the mechanic is out for injury, and is part of the reason why our vehicle work was so delayed. If I knew we were going to get a shitty substitute of work, I would have asked for a refund since the mechanic was out unexpectedly with everyone. 3 - my wife called at least a dozen mechanics, in Modesto and the surrounding areas. This place wasn't the cheapest, but they gave us their time and trust during our phone inquiry. One thing they told my wife was the job was going to be a flat given rate, that included taxes. I had my wife call them back to schedule an appointment, and to ask again about the flat price, and the person she spoke to said "yes tell your husband do not worry, that given price includes taxes and the following work". 7 days later, after 5 days late with job completion my wife went to pick up the car, and they ended up charging close to a couple hundred dollars in taxes on top of the flat rate that we were given the previous week. 4 - last but not least, they fucked up our car, and they denied all of the damages done to the vehicle. http://imgur.com/a/7B1aMrj At the moment our insurance company is currently investigating it, to determine if the work they done could have caused this damage. There is other scuff marks not in these pictures, marks that look like they used improper tools to pry off vehicle body parts. To be very honest, besides being very furious and frustrated, I am very concerned of the engine work they have done with my vehicle too. So far it seems good, but I don't feel secure about it at all for the long run.

Do use this shop!!! cost me over 4,000 dollars,and when I got my car back, I had them pull the motor and put it back in. the motor never had any power for a new motor.I pulled it out took it to a machine shop in colfax, ca BOUTRY'S ENGINES, he was supposed to find the problem and fix it.
