Cleary Automotive

We had a VERY bad experience. We brought our car in wed. Was told it would be done either that night or Thurs by 1pm, he didn't call us, we had to call him and he said it was almost don't, he asked if we needed our car that night, we said yes cause we need if for Fri for an appt. He said ok and never called us back, we went over there around 3pm and his shop was closed and he wouldn't answer the phone. So we went over fri and it was done, so we paid and took the car. 5 miles later the car starts beeping and we stopped and there was so much smoke coming from the engine. It was squirting oil everywhere and all on the road. We called and he said, life happens, and told my fiance to jump in and fix it. We said we would get it towed there for him to fix it and he said. I'm leaving by 5 cause I got a game to go to. I said I'd wait and was told again, get here by 5 or wait till mon. So he didn't wasn't to help us. So my friend went to the shop to make sure he would be there when we got there and he was already gone right when we hung up. So we had to have it towed to our house cause he wouldn't send a tow at all or help up help us till mon. He just said, life happens. He was very as if about the whole thing. So we got it home and my fiance had to look at it and fix it. Turns out Chuck didn't finish the job and left a bolt out and messed up everything. So it took us more money and hours of time to find, buy stuff and fix it. AAA told us if we would've tried to move the car at all it would've ceased the engine. I just don't understand if you have your own business, why wouldn't want to do right by your customers. Needles to say, we won't be using him anymore and come to find out after reporting him to the BBB that he isn't even Accredited by the BBB. Do your selves a favor and take your car somewhere Accredited. We have ready reported him to the BBB. Thank you for reading our review.

I thought I needed a new turbo for my 6.0 powerstroke. But Chuck fixed the problem for a fraction of what a new turbo would of cost. FINALLY... A HONEST MACHANIC!!!!! Will be taking all my vehicles here from now on.

Mike knows what he is doing but the price will probably be higher and possibly much higher than at the dealer. Just be sure you get an estimate for what is being done. Even if it's just a diagnostic, get a price before having anything done.
