good shop, but disagree with some charges

We brought in our Protege when it didn't start and after Firestone said it was a bad alternator. I don't trust firestone so I thought I'd try out a new shop. I read good reviews about JC Automotive and decided...

The BEST Mechanic in Round Rock

If your looking for an Honest, Reliable, Reasonably priced mechanic then go to JC Automotive Specialist in Round Rock. They are the best--I thought for sure that my Toyota was not going to be worth fixing--but they now have it running better than ever and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg!! They treated me with respect and explained everything to me and even gave me a warranty!!!
