The most honest repair shop I have been too!
I towed my vehicle to the shop with a no start problem. Its a 95 Chevy Suburban, and they told me that fuel pumps are a known problem with mid 90s chevrolets before I even brought it in. Turns out instead of selling me a $1000 fuel pump it was just that the battery terminals needed to be cleaned. Since then I have refered many people to them and still take my cars there for maintenance. This shop is very trustworthy and the pricing is competitive with other shops. I would recommend this shop to anyone. Thanks again Punks! You have restored my faith in repair shops!!

Horrible experience!!
I towed my daughter's car here twice. The first time they claimed it was a compression problem and charged her close to $100 for a diagnostic that they were supposed to do, however it doesn't appear as if one has been done. (We took it elsewhere, THEY did a diagnostic and found it needed a crank sensor) The second time, they told us the car needed a new distributor, and the part would cost $800. THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE A DISTRIBUTOR!! When I asked them to show me the distributor, he pointed to the coil, told me how a distributor is supposed to work, etc When I asked him if perhaps he meant the ignition coil or crank sensor, he said "no". (crank sensor and ignition coil are both available for less than $70 each and are used in this vehicle INSTEAD OF A DISTRIBUTOR) They refused to give a written estimate of the work they felt needed to be performed, and charged her another $50 for doing absolutely nothing.
I was treated like a stupid woman, even though I apparently knew more about this car than they did! My daughter was robbed in my opinion, and my time and resources were wasted. I wouldn't bring my lawnmower to this place!!!
In all of my years of working on cars, buying cars, and paying others to do the repairs that I didn't want to do myself, I have never been disrespected so completely or treated like an idiot. I felt this was based solely on my gender and am considering the appropriateness of legal action.
