Im surprised that this business has 4+ stars, because I certainly had a 1-star experience. The owner, Mr. Tony, was downright HOSTILE toward me, and even YELLED and CURSED at me. Never in my life have I been so POORLY TREATED and DISRESPECTED as a customer of what is supposed to be a reputable business. Mr. Tony quoted me $306.00 to install an air compressor and dryer on my car. When I returned to pick it up, the total was more than $120.00 more than what he originally quoted. He said he had to do additional work to ensure the A/C was working properly. I dont mind this, but he or someone from his office should have called me BEFOREHAND to notify me in advance that they were doing additional work on my car that would raise the cost. Its not only the courteous thing to do, but also the most honest. When I told them this, he agreed to take off the tax, about $30.00, which means I still paid $90 more than originally quoted. When I went outside to leave, I noticed that there was a footprint on the side of my car and fresh scratches at the bottom of the drivers side door. When I asked Mr. Tony about them, he denied responsibility and told me that I should use wax to buff out the scratches. I am certain that they were not there when I dropped off the car. When I proceeded to take photos of the scratches for my records, Mr. Tony began to YELL AT ME and CURSE ME, using words such as D**N and even F**K. Never have I been so disrespected as a customer of what is supposed to be a reputable business. No one showed remorse or offered an apology for Mr. Tonys hostile and unprofessional behavior, and I can assure you that I was respectful at every turn. Needless to say, I will never patronize this establishment again, and I would caution anyone else who is considering them. Now, I always strive to be fair and honest, so I will end by saying that I believe the company provides quality work; however, if you question said work or the cost or see damages to your vehicle, you may have a hostile encounter such as mine. No customer deserves to be mistreated this way. I noticed that in response to other negative Google reviews, the company tends to simply apologize for the “misunderstanding.” I can assure you that this was no simple “misunderstanding.” It was an intentionally hostile encounter for which Mr. Tony was expressly unapologetic. I hope Mr. Tony and his team will do some serious soul searching and learn to treat their customers with more respect, even when disagreements arise. That is the mark of an upstanding business, and honestly, the mark of a good person.

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE. They ripped my son off for almost 600$ when he brought them the car for a generator problem. First off, they were not even sure of the problem, but still said they were able to fix it. A couple hours later, my sons car starts having electrical problems so we bring it back. Again they act like they aren’t sure what the problem is but decide to take a look. When my son picks up his car, this man tells him he ran the car 14 MILES to “test drive” it. He did not fix the problem, instead put miles into the car and wasted my sons gas. They are unprofessional, if you don’t know the problem to a car just say that! Don’t waste peoples time and money!

Omg so I went and got an oil change, inspection, and tires on 08/12/20 today is 08/20/2020 my car oil light is on and there is no oil in my car I have a brand new 2015 Jetta Volkswagen. He aint have no oil for my car no filter! Had to wait went early am open time waited an hour for them to bring the stuff. Told me it was gone be a while. I left called me 2 hours later for pick up. I thought they was going to so me right. Taking my car back to my machine who I normally let do my oil chamge. Pray to God no damage was done. Called Mr. Tony trying to explain the situation he hung up on me I called back he continued to blame the problem on me. I was treated poorly with my car service when I got there and they began to work on my car. He told me to leave because me standing was making him nervous. I cant sit for a long period of time but I will not be taking my car back to them for nothing. Im very disappointed and upset I want my oil change refunded!!

I went to get a alignment he told me I needed my tire rods need to be fix as well. He charge me $300 for the service only to find out he never fixed neither one of them. While driving on highway my car broke down I had take to AAA to only find out my alignment,tire rods, control arms were all messed up I had to pay 1300 dollars. I will never go to Mr Tony shop again.

They had my car for months.... I paid 150 for a diagnosis and was told what was needed to fix it.... paid for parts and labor.... a month later my head gasket is blown which I dont understand how.... maybe because he was trying to run it even after I told them the oil has spilled out of it..... or when they drove it around the block... Mr Tony gave me a special time to come to come get a refund and my car and when it was time to do it he was not there....

The experience at Mr. Hendersons garage was awful. Mr. Henderson himself was rude and disrespectful towards me and my mother who also came with me. His employee also came into the front area and was just as rude. Mr. Henderson himself had told my mother that she needed to Hush for she was giving him a headache.
