BEWARE!!

I purchased a Groupon for a synthetic oil change from this shop October 29, 2014. The owner was very pleasant and my car was the only one in the shop that day, although he had tried to reschedule the day before because his schedule was too busy. I waited inside the shop for about 45 minutes chatting with his mother while he worked on my car. When he was finished he pulled my car out of the garage and then informed me that he had changed the oil but not the oil filter because he just didn't have the part. I drive a Saturn and apparently there is a specific part that you need to change the filter, luckily I have this part. I supplied him with the part and he agreed to change my filter. So if he did put new oil in, he then ran it through a dirty filter. I was not aware of how bad this is at the time. He went on to quote me $300 to change my front brake pads. Since that date I have driven my car across country and just went in for my next oil change. The mechanic at this other shop assured me that my oil looked so bad and was so low that it was highly doubtful that the oil was actually changed at the last service (less than 2 months ago).

It makes me sad to see that there are still mechanics out there looking to take advantage of women because of their lack of knowledge of cars. The owner of Teknik was aware that I am a traveling medical professional and I put a large number of miles on my car a year, but he did not care about my safety, wellbeing, or have enough respect for me as a human being to perform a service that I paid for. I am grateful to not have engine damage after the carelessness of this shop. I would highly advise you to find a different service center, it's just not worth the risk.

They did an outstanding job. Very thorough and fair. I had an old car that I had to take on a long trip they made sure that everything was safe for me and did a lot of things that I was not charged for. Then they replaced the headlight in my daughters car free. I can not tell you how much I appreciate everything they did, and they were very nice and personable which coming from another state I find rare in California. Thank you Josh and Rick you were fabulous.
