Straight up service with high quality standards. For peace of mind, go to Southend auto. Because of price, in particular the fact I was charged an hour of labor, $105.00 for an inspection that I had already performed and removed trunk lining and interior panels (which I re-installed) for a severed tail light wire. I told John all this prior to any service. I told him the fuse was good. I told him there was no power to the sockets, and that I suspected a severed wire at the trunk hinge, which according to 5 mins of research on google, is a common problem on many toyota sedan models, I told him I inspected the wire but didnt fully unwrap the harness and inspect, I felt that part should be left to a professional like Jorge. Jorge did a good job, I can see it was done right. But I paid $100 for an inspection i didnt need, $5 on an extended warranty for light bulbs I didnt ask for that also cost $5. Southend Auto milked an extra $100 out of me when they could have maintained an acceptable profit margin by just doing the work I needed done. Unfortunately that $100 lost them a potential return customer as a straight up mechanic is hard to find and resulted in this negative review and a negative google review. Hopefully that $100 bucks got your sales manager over the mark for bonus this week!!
Lucas, I'm glad we were able to reach a happy resolution on the phone about your concerns. Thank you very much for your business; it was good meeting you.
