"Total ripoff. Start a repair with $115 part plus labor. I ended up paying $1450. They keep adding to charges with or without talking to you. Same repair somewhere else is less than half . Total ripoff."

"Run don’t walk away from this place. Took my Jeep in to fix oil leak. Said to replace head gasket too. Took over 5 months to do the job, left my car out in the elements to get rust, worst part, they put the wrong oil in it. Oil pressure went to zero on the drive home only 3 miles away. I took it back. After paying over $4,000!!! For just a head gasket and rear mail seal, they told me the oil pump was bad and would take care of me. Another over $600 and it was worse. I had to pay another company to rebuild the entire engine as they wouldn’t stand behind the work. Full rebuild, machine, and correct work was less than the $4000 these guys took me for. You will see the same cars in the kit over and over again for the same reason . Run, don’t walk to another establishment."

"Not a good experience. Diagnostic was check at chevy. Once they looked over the car the estimated was very high. Palm Harbor was recommended so I took my car there only to be told the catalytic converter wasn't the problem but valves were bad. $1200 which was not surprising. 2 weeks later light was back on and diagnostic read the same as earlier. After a song and dance why the light came back on turns out the catalytic converter did need replacing at a whopping $1200 for the part only. No thanks."

"I contacted Palm Harbor Auto Service about replacing a front CV axle on my daughter's car. I spoke to the owner's son, Matt who quoted $300-$350. I made an appointment to take it in. While checking in for my appointment, I was asked to sign a form that included questions about the cost. I checked the box stating I wanted a written estimate if costs were above $350.00. About an hour later I got a call from Matt saying the cost would be higher than $350, instead it would be $465. I understand that things can change after looking at the car so I said okay. Later in the day, Matt contacted me to say car was done but the cost was over $600. When I arrived at the shop to pick up car I told Matt I should have been notified about the increase before the work was done. After arguing with him, he finally reduced the bill to $570, still over $100 higher than what I had agreed to. I believe this practice is unethical and I would not recommend this shop"
