Lighthouse Automotive

I would not recommend this outfit. On the phone they state they have experience with this make and model, but in person they rely upon reference sites for troubleshooting, and make illogical suggestions based upon their inexperience. After patiently waiting 1−½ hours — of which a minimum of ½ hour of was spent waiting upon the desk man as he visited with a local transient… and requesting updates on my car and being given meaningless answers — they collected $ 116.50 for nothing except the suggestion of another appt. to spend hours to find answers.

Owner will try and get every dollar from you that he can. They lied about my vehicle on multiple occasions and do not return phone calls. You’re better off going to jiffy lube.

Rylan is a wonderful guy, and his crew are all very kind individuals. I just want to say that before I go into anything else.
On a big trip from PEI, Canada to Yucca Valley, California, my car experienced some exhaust problems, we took it to Lighthouse automotive to get the pipe fixed, and since the car needed some fluid work done we got a lot changed and topped up. Rylan lets me know that there is a crack in my cars transmission, which is unfortunate as we are putting a trailer for the last part of the journey. Now, I had been checking fluid levels and keeping the car in running order, and when the cars tranny fluid went too low I called a transmission shop to get a quote on fixing it. Once the car was on the lift I was able to look under it and see the supposed crack that would be the end of my car. I look, I see nothing, they clean the transmission, still nothing, then they check the crush ring which looks a little unusual. After getting the drain plug out we all found out that the old crush ring had been left on the car, and the new crush ring forced onto the old one leaving a space for fluid to leak from. There was no crack.
The people are great to talk to, just make sure you look at anything they say is wrong with the car.
