Chet & Cliff's Garage

I was broke down after picking my kids up after school. He had my car towed to his garage fixed 100% and very reasonable. The tow alone was under 50$ during prime driving hours in Arden arcade.
My car isn't very expensive not something he was gonna pay rent by doing the job. He treated me fairly and humanly.
As for a honest garage and stand up guys, they are.

I have yet to be disappointed.
I usually arrive w/o an appt, panicked, hurried, broke and pushed for time.
Their ability to calm is zen-like. Their ability to diagnoise and 'make-it-work' approach amazing. The bill . . . let's just say they fo more for LE$$. They kno

Save your time and save your money. I usually take my car to another mechanic but unfortunately he is located an hour away. My car had stalled on me while I was driving on the freeway and I was in need of a VW specialist, I didn't want to go to the dealer so I had it towed to this place. That was probably one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made. It turns out its one of those shops where they make you believe its worse than it really is because they're money hungry. They gave me an estimate for $3000 which I could not afford and politey told them that I had decided not to repair my car and would be having it towed elsewhere. The owner of the shop kept asking me what I was going to do with it, almost insisting on selling it to him for $400 (keep in mind that its 2003 New Beetle with a turbo engine) ridiculous and unprofessional right? When I had spoken to him on the phone a few days prior to this, he had told me that it would be $300 for the labor they had done...which was nothing because the damn car never got repaired. When I got there it was a different story and he was charging me $425 for four hours of labor when they did nothing to the car. I called a few mechanics after I left the shop and was told that it deffinately did not take them four hours to look at my car. The owner lies about how many hours of labor they actually did to rip off thier customers! Also they didn't even have the decency to put the parts back as they were when I first took my car to thier shop which by law they are required to. I never write reviews but I would never want someone else to go thru what I did with this horrible place. Long story short take your car somewhere else, the owner is a money hungry, unprofessional, dishonest person!
