Auto Stop

I definitely second the comments made in the previous review about the honesty of this place. I recently had my oil changed when I was in California and was told by the person doing the oil change/​check that the brake pads in the back were down to 15% and direly needed to be changed. He wanted to charge me $ 250 which sounded high to me, so I decided to wait to change them until I got back to Havasu. At this place, they gave me a much more reasonable price estimate, as I expected. Then, 20 mins after I dropped off my car, they gave me a call and told me that actually the brake pads were still at 45−50% and did not need to be replaced. I just came back and got my car, no charge. Additionally, the mechanic (Jeff) explained to me some rules of thumb about how often front vs. back brake pads need to be changed. I really appreciate the honesty. At the front desk, the lady was also very kind and professional. Thumbs up all around. Will come back here in the future!

Wow. An honest mechanic. I took my VW to him to put brake pads on the front. It has 65 000 miles on it and I figured it was due. He called me back an hour later and said they weren’t needed as I still had about 90% left on the pads. The car is 9 years old. I took another car to him as it was running rough (a Sidekick) and he asked if I had recently washed the engine. I said yes and he said to take the spark plug covers off, dry them inside, and see if that cures the problem. I went home and did as he suggested and voila! The only reward he got out of that one was a loyal customer!
