Car battery installation service near Fort Lauderdale, FL

I recently had a battery delivered to my home 8/2015.This company was recommended to me by a very trustworthy person. I have used this company in the past twice. However me nor my family and friends will be using this company again.The owner of the company and the employees he has answering the phones information do not match.The owner made the issue right but his employees that answer the phones where extremely unprofessional and lied to me to cover up what had transpired. I called on a Friday, on or about 5:30pm when my car battery originally died. No one answered and the answering machine said their hours are from 7:30am to 6:00pm.So I decided to call back at least to ask some questions. A woman answered and told me they were closed and the answering machine was incorrect. I asked if they still do deliveries, she said yes and that they open at 8:00am and it was $25 to come out and install. I asked if they take credit cards she said yes he would just call it in. I called 8:09am the next Saturday morning. No one answered so I called back. A woman answered and said that no one was there yet for me to call back a little later. I called back later and again got the run around. I called the person that referred me to them. She called and the owner called me from his cell phone.He took my make and model, the year and told me he would be there in a while and will call me with a price.He also mentioned that it would be cheaper if I came out because it was an extra $25 for him to come out. I told him I would pay because I had no other way to get a battery at this point. I asked again if they will take my card he said yes and he only had one other worker this day. No one called me back. So I called and called and called. I ended up getting a hold of another woman. By this time I was frustrated and I told the woman this was bad business. I told her I have been very patient and respectful (mainly because of the person that referred me to them) and I needed to go to the grocery store because I had a hungry child at home. I told her they close in an hour and a half and I was the first customer to call that morning. She said this is a business I apologize and I will call the supervisor again. I stood outside and as some time went by I saw a marked truck pull into my apartment complex and blow the horn. I later found out that he did not have his cell phone on him so in reality if I wasn't standing outside I may have missed him as in the owner. He got out of the truck and told me he was sorry that he just got out of the hospital. Because I was so frustrated at this point he could tell my sympathy was not where it should have been. He placed in the battery and wrote up the ticket. Up until this point I still was never told a price when I asked on one of the previous phone calls I was told the supervisor will give me a price. He wrote the ticket for $124 I paid it and went to the grocery store. Also too he didn't have his phone so he wrote my credit card number on the receipt which I felt extremely uneasy about. I asked if my credit card number would be scratched out back at his office he said yes ma'am we don't do those types of things. The next day I noticed the ticket was written for $94 for the battery and $30 to come out and install I assumed. This made me angry because after all the run around I was seemingly charged extra.I also assumed that when he took my old battery I was never compensated for it so I accused them of stealing from me in which I later found out I was wrong about just that. I called and left a message and I also emailed the company. I called twice the next day now Monday no answer. I was then called back by the owner on his cell phone again. I asked about my concerns. He explained that the extra fees were taxes and a $2 credit card charge which I was never told about the credit card charge when I asked twice if they take it. He said you know what I will give you the managers special and I will give you $10 out my own pocket if you feel like that. I said ok I will be there Saturday. Add't emails were exchanged. The woman responding to the emails was so unprofessional that I let my friend/there customer read them and she decided she will not use them any longer.

I had taken my car to the dealer and they told me I needed about $2,000 work on my Mercedes. I took the car to Euro Auto Performance after a friend recommended them. I am so happy that I did. I needed something completely different that was less than half of what was told to me. I am a single woman and I really appreciate the honesty of Euro Auto Performance. Thanks, Sotos and Diane.

They did a great job in taking care of my vehicle challenges. The manager, Jesus was friendly and super helpful in explaining the problems and solutions. Definitely recommend this place for vehicle repairs! Edward M. Pompano Beach, FL

Wow! What a great shop! I needed some work done on my Audi and I didn't want to take it to the dealership, so I Googled shops in my area and The V Shop had nothing but great reviews. Now I see why. Roger and his team run a very clean shop. Professional. Knowledgable. Fair. My car went in for an ignition coil and came out with a full courtesy inspection and a small list of things that I was not aware of, but no pressure from them to "get these fixed right away" as a sales pitch to make more money. AND, my car was detailed when I came to pick it up! I mean detailed, not just washed. Tires shined, vacuumed...EVERYTHING! If you're looking for an honest shop and want o avoid the dealership, this is your place. They service ALL makes too! Thanks Roger!

Wonderful service

European cars are my passion therefore I am meticulous about my car. It took me over a year to find my Audi A6 4.2 quattro and I have up until this point done the work on my own car. I currently am working at a car dealership and have witnessed the absurd prices that “stealerships” charge for the most basic repairs and parts. The people at Davie Motors really are European Specialists. They let me store my car in the garage for almost 2 months! The fans for my car cost 1200 dollars I ordered salvaged fans and they turned out not to work. Davie Motors ended up being able to fix the brushes on my old fans so i wouldn't have to buy new ones thus saving me 1200 dollars. About a week later a hose blew on my power steering and Skip fixed it for free. I have taken used cars from the dealership here and referred multiple people. DAVIE MOTORS MAKES OWNING EUROPEAN CARS WORTH IT! This place is the best I wouldn't go anywhere else! REPAIRS COMPLETED: radiator, a/c condenser, a/c compressor, crankshaft seals, valve cover gaskets, radiator fan, auxiliary belt ECU update, transmission update, motor mount, not to mention radiator fluid, power steering fluid, oil change (Liqui Moly). Then they charged the whole system plus a vacuum test and dye-test.

This place is a scam, stay away. They are unprofessional and unreliable. I would bet money they are unlicensed. They will take your money and not preform the service!

I was due for my 60K check-in for my 2102 KIA Rio (Rubee) and I was not prepared to pay what my dealership offered. So I took my little, Rubee, to Callahan Auto today. I met him in person and liked him immediately. He’s really sweet. He took the time to listen to my concerns, take a test drive with me and he did not treat me like a girl who knows nada about cars (which I am). He did the work and the bill was really reasonable. I was so happy and Rubee has a lot of pep in her step again. Can’t wait to hit the highway! I am totally going to recommend Callahan Auto to anyone who needs any auto repairs. They are great!

Claudio, I have to say you've done a fabulous job with my 1998 Saturn. He's running like a brand new Saturn you are . Also thank you again for bringing back to life my Jaguar, I thought I was going to sell it, there's no need. You will always have my business. Good luck Gregory Lind

Excellent service, great customer service, honest people, fairly priced. Have been a customer for 4 years now. Very happy! High trust relationship.

I had a frustrating experience with Auto Repair Pros and Walter, the repair advisor. It's unacceptable that he failed to fix my car noise issue despite multiple visits and charges. I’m gonna explain now everything to make it clear! My issue was with some noise coming from engine, my repair advisor was Walter. I dropped off my car for the service, and in the end of the day Walter asked me to leave the car for another day, I said ok. The next day car wasn’t fixed. I rented a car. Eventually car was staying there for 6 days. I spent money for car rent which Walter promised me to cover because kept the car too for their fault and didn’t do. They changed so many things and eventually when I picked up my car I realized that the noise is still there. Walter told me that it can’t be fixed because it’s Nissan car and the mileage is already 120K. I have my warranty for my car, I paid my deductible which I have to pay and also Walter charged me taxes which I shouldn’t pay. I was ok, paid it and got my car back thinking let’s see what’s going on. Next days I was checking my car and after few days I realized that that the problem was with motor mount which auto shop didn’t find and didn’t fixed. I sent car again to that shop and explain the issue to Walter again, he agreed with me and took my car again for the service. In the end of the day when I was picking up my car Walter said me they changed the motor mount but the noise was still there, Walter said there’s nothing they can do with that. Again I paid deductible and taxes and left the shop. I was very disappointed and upset about the service. A week later I decided to go to the official Nissan dealership service and after diagnostic they told me that the issue is with motor mount which is never been charged. They changed the motor mount and the issue was resolved and I never hear the noise again! So I’m very disappointed with service and Walter, who was lying me about everything, he charged me for taxes which I shouldn’t pay, according my agreement I’m only paying for deductible 100$. He promised me to cover my rental which wasn’t covered( I realized this when I called to warranty company and calculated everything, however invoice that Walter gave me says he deducted 200$ for rental) and eventually he didn’t fix my car! I’m thinking about to talk to my attorney about this case, because its not appropriate to lye customers like this.

this is a mickey mouse company! the Micky mouse that came to help me on the road did a damage to a brand new car! he came with a sedan to help a transit! with flip flop and tank! ridicules! if you care about your car dont call, dont walk, RUN

I want second opinion, and repair or used replacement

First they forgot the two appointments I had made. One on a Sunday they forgot, then the Monday lunchtime for an oil change. After two apologies they did the oil change and filter on Tuesday. They kept stressing how I required, "a full car checkup for only $25". I declined. I drove home and checked the oil. A good portion of it was over the engine, as they had not screwed the oil filler cap down enough. 2 days later I went back and told them and also mentioned that the transmission was shifting erratically and they stressed how important a full car checkup would be at this point and how they could do a full service on the transmission, although I had had NO problems till this point. I went elsewhere and the vacuum hose leading to the shifter actuator on the side of the transmission had been removed and neatly coiled up on the side of the engine. I thought about going in swinging to the mental midget who runs the place, but realised it would not do anything. These jokers should not be allowed to be in business. Please avoid them at all costs.
