they had the car for 1 week. I was called and told the caR     was fixed. I picked it up and took it home. the next morning I got in the car to run some earns. the car stalled 4 times.when I got them on  the  phone they sounded annoyed that I was calling and giving me a bunch of excuses. they told me to drop the car off but weren't sure when they would get to it,.I could not go another week without my car so I had to take it some place else.
Response from BRENN AUTOMOTIVE INC
"The customer purchased the vehicle months prior to the repair and had it towed to my shop from another facility. The customer stated that the vehicle had been sitting for a period of years from the previous owner before he purchased it. He also explained that the vehicle had running problems with the fuel and gas tank and stated that he wanted the oil pump replaced. When we looked at the car, we found that it actually needed an oil change and an oil pressure switch. We also road tested the vehicle and noticed vibrations, which we explained to the customer and noted on the R/O. When the customer picked up the vehicle, he stated, "Will this correct my stalling problem?" However, the customer did not discuss a stalling issue during the original consultation. During the road test the vehicle did not stall. Therefore, we were not under the impression that the customer had an issue with the vehicle stalling. After the vehicle was picked up (that same day) the customer called back two weeks later complaining about the vehicle stalling. We explained that we do not have the needed software to address this issue for him, and recommended that he find someone who works on classic GM vehicles. Despite this, we still offered to look at the vehicle a second time, if this would satisfy the customer. Unfortunately, when the customer called back, we were already two weeks out in booked appointments. Therefore, we could not schedule him right away. Again, we respectfully explained that bringing the vehicle back to the shop would not benefit the customer. This is because we no longer have the software to diagnose older GM digital fuel injection systems. However, we assured him that someone who works on classic cars would have the correct software to help him. It is unfortunate that the customer feels this way."

Fantastic! I took the car in at 8am and was driven home by one of the mechanics by 8:30am once i had gone over with Darryl what I needed to have done, etc. They called me at 3:00pm, letting me know that one of the mechanics was on his way to pick me up, and a brief discussion of what work was done on the car. When I got there, Darryl went over the invoice and also told me what needed to be monitored for future repair/replacement. They changed the oil, replaced a burned-out fog light, changed the spark plugs, pcv valve, air filter and topped off all the fluids and checked tire pressure, belts and hoses.
As per my request, Darryl went over things on the car that needed to be dealt with in the future, and what should be done soon, and what could wait. I have scheduled the next phase in 3 weeks of getting the transmission pan, seal and fluid replaced for as well as getting a front strut replaced, brakes and rotors, front and back.
I can't say enough good things about Brenn Automotive. I need my car to run as long as it can, and they have been very helpful in giving me a plan to address all the issues before I have a major problem or breakdown. I feel that they are fair in their assessment of what needs to be done on the car and when. This gives me piece of mind that I won't be stranded somewhere due to bad advice or shoddy service (which I have had in the past year due to not having a good mechanic to trust).

they were able to service my car the same day.They were professional and their price was fair.They did not perform any service that was not required. This was the third time I have used them. My car mechanic of 40 years recently died, so it was difficult for me choosing another mechanic.I am pleased with their service and will continue to use them.ngston

Bad, mostly due to tires not being the best of the line for my car as they said they would and slow response/service.

My 97 Honda Civic was due for an oil change. I was wary of going a Jiffy Lube based on the local reviews. I also needed a safety check to make sure the car would be okay during a trip from NY to VA I had to make on a day the temperatures in VA were predicted to hit 106. Based on the reviews, I decided to try Brenn's. Though my trip was coming up in only a few days and Brenn's schedule was busy when I called, I told them I'd be willing to wait at the bakery/coffee shop next door to them as long as needed while they did the work (and honestly, I would have waited 5 hours to make sure my car was ready for the trip), so they fit me into the schedule. I had an excellent lunch at the adorable bakery and Brenn's finished in only about 2 hours. I was so glad they didn't find anything requiring major repair. On my trip, the car ran beautifully despite the heat and bad traffic tie-ups. The safety check made me much more confident about this trip with my 15-year-old car in hotter weather than I had ever driven it in. Overall, my experience with Brenn's was great and I'll go there again.

Dealer performed work courteously and professionally. I was driven home after leaving my car and picked up after it was completed. All work was done as promised and I was given a complete invoice covering the serviced preformed. This dealer specializes in foreign cars, and I was comfortable with him working on my Honda Civic. Overall, It was a positive experience.

It took a couple of days to get an appointment, but since the situation was not an emergency, so I did not push for an earlier appointment.  They took my car immediately when I brought it in for my appointment.  They called me quickly to report what they found, which required getting one of the parts and that took another day.  They completed their work right when scheduled.  They explained to me everything they'd done, and it was all documented clearly on my receipt.
