Would give this company zero stars if I could. We were in Myrtle beach KOA campground Monday till Sunday. I needed to replace pads in my brakes in RV. So I called ABC mobile and auto repair company and asked if they could fix my brakes. They said that they can, and I happily made and appointment for Wednesday. I made sure we have an extra time, in case they will need to order some parts. I waited for them the whole Wednesday, but they didn't show up. When we called, they said that technician got stuck on another job. Thursday they didn't come either. At the end of Thursday, when we called, they said that they will come for sure Friday 8am. 10:05 they still didn't come and my husband gave them a call.. they said that someone will come out shortly. Around 10:30 am 2 guys di show up. They removed both front wheels, said that we need new pads. So I asked them if they have pads with them , they said no, and no one has it today, they will have to order it, a d maybe they will be able to change it either Saturday or Sunday. Then they put our wheels back and said that the have to pay them $400 for the service. I was shocked! I said that I will pay as soon as my brakes will be fixed. When they realized that I am not paying them until they will finish their job, they started calling someone. 10 min later another guy(probably owner), showed up. He started screaming at me and told me that since I refuse to pay, he is calling police and they will arrest me :) And he did! 16 min later police arrived. 3 cars! Police officer first spoke to the guys from ABC repair company and the approached us. They asked me to tell them the while story. Also they asked if I was notified that regardless of if they will do the job or now, I ill have to pay a service call fee. I said that I never heard about it. After that police officers disappeared. 15 min later they came back with Myrtle beach KOA campground manager. This lady was very rude, saying, that since I don't want to pay to this repair company, I have to leave her campground immediately. If within hours we will not leave the campground, we will get arrested, and KOA will not reimburse us for the rest of the stay, and on top of the we cannot come back to this park for 1 year. When I asked police officers if that's legal, they said that it is private property and they don't have any jurisdiction here. If they want to kick us out, police cannot stop them. So bottom line, not only we didn't get our brakes fixed, we also lost $250, which paid till Sunday, and we had to find another park to stay for a weekend and pay for the days we already paid. We are RVing for more then 10 years, and never had such experience before. PLEASE, for your own sake, do t even get close to this company, don't let them touch your RV!

I called before I arrived and he was able to fit me into his schedule the same day. This is the only thing good about this experience besides his location being impeccable but his services being fruitful of arrogance. When I walked into his shop I had my mask on for safety precautions and obeying the law; Tad told me, "Ah you can take that off" and decided to discuss how he is not being played by the government. Tad looked at my motor and continued to rev up the motor and tell me I had a broken motor mount. He further went to say that this is what the problem is. Afterwards, he continued to downgrade me as a person for asking questions and trying to understand what he was talking about. Tad then decided his "computer" which was a SOLUS Ultra by Snap On could solve the problem. He stated, "If it works I will charge you $100 and if it doesn't I will charge you $50." I may not know much about a vehicle, but I do have common sense that a computer will not fix a "broken motor mount". Keep in mind I went to this guy over a transmission problem. Tad further discussed how I called him a liar for not believing this device would fix my car and that if I come back Monday it will cost $150 and Tuesday it would be $200. Tad was unpleasant, unprofessional and a disgrace to all mechanics. If you want to get ripped off, degraded, and be at the mercy of this guy then he is the right one for you. If you actually have ANY car problems TAD IS NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB.

After calling 12 different businesses, I was directed to call Tad's. He said he could repair an Allison Automatic transmission and had it towed directly to him. He immediately ordered the part and had it installed the next day. He also didn't have an issue with me staying in it while he repaired it, which was very helpful. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone. He was extremely helpful in a time of need with such short notice. Thanks Tad!
