Physically threatened!

I just had a really weird experience at Beacon. I had a slight disagreement with the mechanic, and he went ballistic, and basically chased me out of the shop wielding a padlock like he was going to bash me with it. I almost called the police, but frankly, Beacon knows my address, which has me a bit scared. Steer clear!

Change of ownership, not for the better

This place used to be great when Pat was here. Unfortunately, it appears that the trustworthiness of the shop has gone downhill.

Went to get a diagnostic check and was quoted at $900!! Called the dealer and they quoted me at $300! WOW is all I can say! So all I`m saying is that you should be careful when going to this place.

I am extremely disappointed. Try Dr. Don`s down the street under the Ba... view morellard Bridge. Better choice!

Great service

They have great service. Dave is a really nice guy. He gave me a quote on how much the job would be and he was pretty damn close when the final bill came. He finished the job withing the time frame he said he would. He was able to answer all my questions too. I will definetly be coming back for all of my automotive service needs.
