Noise that was coming from the power steering system was solved and at a much cheaper rate than was given by the dealership. I have since used Convoy again for other services and have been very pleased.

As we arrived in San Diego, driving from Phoenix, our A/C quit. We located Convoy Auto Repair through Angie's list. They worked us into their schedule for the next day. They couldn't find the cause, but they re-charged the coolant and it appeared to be working fine. Cost was about $140. Shortly after picking up my car the A/C quit, again. The problem was some sort of intermittent. This is one of the worst types of problems to fix, simply because you need the item to fail in order to fix it. Otherwise, you're guessing. Convoy arranged to work on the car again. They spent another full day on it and experienced the A/C failure only once, for a brief period of time. They recommended changing a relay (cost less than $40). They didn't charge any labor costs for the second day of work. During the rest of our stay in San Diego the A/C worked well and Convoy even called us to confirm that everything was still working. I've been back in Phoenix's desert heat for 2 weeks, and we've had no problems.

The cabin filter is like ten to fifteen dollars and yet they charged me $58 for the part and to install it.  The brake fluid flush I guess it's comparable.  The drive belt was a little pricey at $142 for two belts.  I'm checking that there doing it and so far my car is running fine.  Since then I did return and have a second oil change but I'm not having there other recommended  work done such as transmission service, or fuel injection service, which I looked up and that's really not that necessary.  The struts, it was $1500, just under 1500 dollars $1498 and that might be comparable and so I asked them if they could drive me to work and they said they only have a three mile radius and my work is just 5 miles.  I thought very poorly of them, I thought you're losing a 1500 dollar job because you won't go out of your radius.

The a/c does not work as well as it used to.  It is better than it was before the repairs but it takes a long time to get cool and does not blow very cold even after it has been running a long time at full blast.  I expected much more for such a high price tag.

Better than anticipated. We called and asked for a 50,000 mile service and tune up. Most places will not take my Audi as they are apparently difficult to service. The cost was approx $385. They told us that they were able to accommodate a Saturday service, which we are very appreciate of. They called us and said we needed to replace our power steering fluid and fuel filter, which was at a great price. The tech's and service reps were all very professional and respectful. They offered to give me a ride home, which I didn't need. 
When I went to pick the car up a couple hours later they gave us the $50 dollar off coupon from Angies list and told us all repairs were guaranteed for 2 years. 
I will be a repeat customer for sure. Price was fair and service was great! 
Thank you Convoy Auto!!!!

Amazing!  For the price of getting the car checked out and getting a service report at a typical dealership, we were able to have out 10 year old Volvo fixed for safety items.  The car was rarely used in recent years and we needed to find out what work was needed.  Convoy Auto Repair made the diagnosis and repaired - all on a Saturday!  We have a few more items to get done, but we are able to use the car without worrying if there are immediate safety issues!  Thank you!
Response from CONVOY AUTO REPAIR

"Happy to hear the Volvo is back on the road again. Our Saturday hours are very convenient for many of our clients and we are happy we were able to accommodate your needs. Many happy years of driving ahead for your Volvo"

Found them through AAA as a recommended mechanic and couldn't be happier with the overall experience of doing business with them. Needed to fix a check engine light, a recent issue with one of my gauges, and get a smog check. I set up a time to take my car in and after I dropped it off in the morning their shuttle van took me back to work (I work in Kearny Mesa). They called me a few hours later and clearly explained what they found and what they believe needed to be done. Their estimate for the part, labor, and smog check was fair so I had them do the work. The replacement part fixed my check engine light and gauge issue, and my car passed smog with flying colors. When I picked up my car we reviewed everything again on paper, which I appreciated. They also did a follow up call a few days later. Car runs great and feel like I just did business with a legitimate company who values their customers. Way to go guys, keep up the great work!

A $300 dollar estimate turned into a $2000 dollar estimate.
Response from CONVOY AUTO REPAIR

"That you for your time to review. When we preform a maintenance mileage interval service such as yours at 118,000 part of that service is to inspect the entire vehicle and report its overall condition/s. This is they only way to properly make decisions on repairs and goals in either keeping the vehicle or making the decision of replacing the vehicle. Many vehicles such as your 2002 Lincoln Navigator need repairs such as your rear main oil seal which is actively leaking oil repaired . The job is a very time consuming to remove the transmission to access the seal and its $749 repair estimate. Quality gas filled shocks for all four are $710. These shocks will prevent further deterioration of front-end parts saving addition expenses and enhance tire life and ride. If this is a vehicle which is intended to keep the recommendations of $ 1,459 sure seem better than the price to replace as most of these vehicle will deliver 150,000 miles or more if maintained."

They were excellent, they were able to take me in very quickly, it feel like they did not took advantage of me financially, it was a fair price, they were timely, it didn't take them very long at all to change my breaks. I would recommend that they would actually use this company, I'll go back to them for everything.
Response from CONVOY AUTO REPAIR

"Thank you for your comments and welcome to our family. Our goals are to provide the best automotive experience, use only quality parts and provide excellent service. Glad we were able to assist."
