defiantly deserves these five stars

I bought a used car that turned out to be a lemon and couldn`t get my money back. It was a nightmare until i brought it over to sola motor works and they saved the day. Javier was very nice and gave me a great deal.

Good Service

Sola Motorworks was a great place to take my car, Javier was very helpfull and knew his stuff thoroughly. Luie Is one of the best mechanics around and can fix almost any car, type/year dosn`t matter. I reccomend Sola motorworks because they give Quality service at an affordable price.

I thought this was a good place.

I took my 1962 Jaguar E-Type to sola motorworks because i was having numerious issues with my car. The owner Javier had found the problems with my car, quoted me and fixed them. They also did me some favors like some rewireing that needed to be done and some extra parts that needed to be found. Also reccomended me to a good body not far away.

Never again!

Javier - your service is a joke. You should learn some manners and business skills. I came to that place twice and was unhappy both times (don`t know why I came second time). Unreliable and overpriced service. Same as others, I paid $126 for an oil change, using my oil. Needed to do a small job - they kept my car for entire day and never got the parts.

do not use sola

Javier Sola is not a man of his word. Two days after paying over $200 for a repair my vehicle returned to the broken state. I called and was told I would be refunded my money on Monday. Instead on Monday morning I received a call from Javier yelling at me telling me he would do no such refund and that I was trying to extort him. I only want my car to run properly and it is not. By calling and starting a conversation ... view morewith harsh words and no chance at resolution, they have lost a customer who was loyal for many years. The customer is not a concern at Sola - only that they make a buck regardless of what the repair is. DO NOT USE SOLA MOTOR WORKS!

THIS PLACE IS A TOTAL RIP OFF!!!!!!!

I took my Lincoln there for an oil change. When I picked it up I was told the charge ws $131.00. When I complained the bill was reduced to $83.00. After leaving I discovered that my right front bumper had a really bad scratch and dent that had bee caused by something with rust red paint. When i went back I discovered that their lift racks were the same color as the paint on my bumper. I wonder what happened ther... view moree???? I called back to speak to the owner who very rudly stated that his people did not dent my car and that the additional charge was for checking the car out for safety concerns. I called two local Lincoln dealerships and was advised that an oil change was $29.95 at both and both did safety inspections as a service to their customers. They find additional repairs by doing this. Javier Sola was very rude to me on the phone and told me he would refund the overcharging for the oil change and never to bring my care in there again. Not to worry that won`t happen. So in closing if you need your car dented and feel you really need to pay 3 times the dealership rate for service then by all means this the place you have been looking for. Me I think I will go back to the dealership and pay full retail. It`s a lot cheaper and you don`t have to take your car to the body shop afterwards.

Not My Jag, You Won`t

Well, after reading all the shining reviews, I took my car here. Biggest mistake ever. The tow truck that brought my car in, scratched the underside of the nose of my Jaguar XK8 to shreds trying to get up the steep, narrow drive. The owner told me it should have been a flatbed - after the fact, of course.

They had it for almost a week and he had me convinced the engine needed replacing, but I would have to pa... view morey of it prior to the warranty company paying for it. Since it would be such a big job an would be covered by my extended warranty, I took it to Jaguar (on a flatbed this time). When we got it there, they opened up the hood to find that the engine had been totally dismantled and the bulk of it was in the trunk.

Turns out the engine was merely flooded and my car will be ready tomorrow.

Javier Sola and His Crew Are the Best!

I can`t say enough kind words about Javier Sola and his crew. They are polite, respectful and great mechanics. I brought them my rare 1992 Subaru SVX and he has worked with it to make it come back to life. Many shops would not touch the car, but Javier looks forward to the challenge. Their prices are reasonable and they are usually able to complete repairs the day I drop off the car.

The only downside is ... view morethe space is very limited and tight and parking is nonexistent
