S & R Service Center

I’ve been bringing my car here for several years now and can only say great things about the gentlemen running the shop. He’s checked things many times without charging anything, and even replaced a light bulb free of charge. He helped me make decisions about what service is worth investing in and what to do with high maintenance vehicles (like my old Acura RDX). I highly recommend this mechanic for any Honda/​Acura car.

We’ve been bringing our cars to Richard for 7 years now… We enjoy his small shop and trust his judgement. Thanks Richard for your faithful service over the years!

This business seemed to be pretty good when I first brought my Honda Accord to them. However, on a subsequent visit, the battery they put in did not last very long. I did get a replacement when I brought my Honda back to him when I finally realized it was the faulty battery that kept making my car not start. He seemed to have an attitude about it. I can take the attitude, but the kicker is that it was time for my smog check. The business next door does smogs and I asked the S&R owner to let them do the check after he installed the new battery.
Well, that is not supposed to happen. When you have any problem with your battery, you should not get a smog check until the battery is ran for a while. I did not know that. I firmly believe the S&R owner knew that, but still sent my car next door for spite because he had to replace my battery. It failed the test, causing me to have pay for the test, bring it back again after I drove the car for a while, and pay for a retest. The smog shop gave me a reduced price because he felt my pain. He said he didn’t realize that a new battery is why I had my vehicle next door or he wouldn’t have tested it.
I highly recommend the smog test station next door, but no longer will I bring my Honda to S&R.
