Amber Shine Auto Service

I had my Nissan Maxima brake pads changed here. A few months later, I found the brake pads are dangerous thin, if I ignore it, accident could happen anytime. I went back to them, they explained they could be worn out in a few months depend on personal driving habbit. It is IMPOSSIBLE my brakes pads worn out in such a short time on mostly high way driving. It’s either they used some really bad brake pads or they just forgot to replace them. It most likely the latter. But they did not admit that and refused to fix it for me. Their ignorance put customer’s life in danger. Stay away!

I had my usual services done here, plus other repairs/replacements like the head gasket, some body work, etc. I have known the boss and the people here for over 20 years. Honest and reasonable prices, they only use reliable and/or original parts, and they would not advise a repair or replacement that’s not worthwhile. Just don’t let a new guy work on big repairs it will be fine.

I only come here for routine annual maintenance. They are quick and reasonably priced. They work very fast even on the weekends.

Having an oil change here could cause you an oil pan. I had an oil change here 4 months ago. The mechanic overfilled my engine oil by half a quart and said it was ok. I believed him. 4 months later, when I did my own oil change, I found out there were more problems with the service. They over tightened the oil drain bolt by so much, it took me 10 minutes to just break it loose. There was more, they did not even install a crush washer to the bolt! I had taped a new crush washer on cap of the engine oil bottle I brought in. There was no way he could’ve missed it. Even if he somehow lost it, he could still have re-used my old gasket. Why the hell did he choose not to do either. Instead, he just went with no gasket and over tightened my oil pan (which is aluminum). Now I just pray that my oil pan has not been cracked or stripped and leak oil.

The attitude was extremely bad, I don't recommend going to this car repair shop, The repairman was so nasty,The way he was talked to me is unacceptable
