They reviewed all the work needed with me, and then gave an accurate estimate that matched the final price, plus they gave me a senior discount.
Fixed the alternator at a good price, and pointed out that the battery was testing bad as well, but they understood that I preferred to replace my own battery from Costco, since the price would be less.
They were very honest in telling me that the vibration I had when braking was not currently a safety issue and could go a bit longer on the pads that I had, and I could then replace the rotors when doing that, since due to the type and age of vehicle, the replacement was more expensive than on most other vehicles. I decided to go ahead with the replacement at this time as the vibration when braking bothered me.
They were very easy to work with and I believe very capable as well as honest auto mechanics.
When my water pump was leaking and I noticed a clicking sound under the hood whenever it was running, and also some belt squealing, I returned to Devine for this repair. While I was waiting for the repair, I noticed that they greeted probably 4 out of 4 customers on a first name basis as they came through the door, and I overheard them on the phone with several more customers, reviewing their past service records with each customer and troubleshooting what the trouble might be based on their cars' histories. Lots of repeat business means that there must be lots of happy customers.
While I was waiting, they came over several times to let me know their progress: what they found was the problem, how they were going to repair it, and when it would be ready for me. They told me about a slight exhaust leak that I should keep an eye on, but again, not a crisis item right now, and I asked them to see if I needed new brakes, as I noticed some slight pulsing when I put my foot on the brake pedal. They let me know that my brakes were still in pretty good shape for now, and that I had 60% and 80% of the braking capacity left in the front and rear brakes. They gave me quotes for brake replacement, for future reference.
The folks at Devine have an appreciation for their customer's pocketbook and work to keep costs reasonable, not simply replacing stuff just in case. Very professional attitude and atmosphere throughout. I will return!
They even gave me a ride home while they were working on this for 2.5 hours, and they came and picked me up.
It's really hard to find a reasonably priced honest mechanic. Tadd and Trevor are that. Atmosphere was clean and professional and they have many bays and mechanics.
I have used them once before just for an oil change, which also was just fine. Of course they look over your whole car when doing that to make sure everything is looking fine.
Thank you Tadd and Trevor!
Surprise when I picked up the car, it was EXACTLY what Tadd had told me in every way!
It was refreshing to know that both owners are there when you walk in and what they say is what I got!. These days of consumer rip-offs, that is a total SURPRISE!.
I would recommend my entire family to take their vehicle's to Devine Automotive. I know I WILL continue to go there.
