Left my car in pieces!!!
Took my Mitsubishi eclipse in and told me it was the timing chain that broke and bent the valves the cylinder head would need to be machined. They kept repeating themselves over and over about “how nice of a car I had” to the point it felt fake and just trying to juice me up. I felt a bit lured to pay for a $4500 job that I reluctantly agreed only on terms they would have it fixed within the next week. Turns out the whole engine was blown and they tried to charge me almost $700 to get my car back without them fixing it while also telling me they couldn’t find an engine for me. I told them I’d write a review about their service if they charged me for that so they just cut the price in half, which I was still unhappy about. The guy I was talking to told me I had time (a couple days or so) to figure out what moves I wanted to make next with the vehicle. The very next morning, I believe it was the owner or someone else not so nice, telling me I had to get the car out that day or they will start charging me because they were tired of looking at it. The next shop I took it to told me they left my car a total hack job by leaving it in pieces, making it harder for them to work on. The new shop I took it to was adament that it was a total sign of disrespect and bad service for them to leave it like that. Do not go to them unless you want to be overcharged and quite possibly a total waste of time and money

Do not trust them!!
I had a terrible experience with them. They told me I had a blown head gasket and told me they had a very expensive machine that tells them how many hydrocarbons there are in my engine. $4000+ to fix it. I wanted a second opinion so I took it to a different shop and they had the same expensive machine and told me there was absolutely no way it was the head gasket. I had a bad water pump. Fixed the issue right away. I also had southend auto change my oil and they over filled it with ½-1 quart extra oil. They were trying to blow my head gasket so they can be right with me having a head gasket problem. These guys will create more problems for you in the future rather then fixing the problem. The owner don't care about the customers. All he cares about is money money money. They ripped me off for THOUSANDS of dollars and my van still has problems til this day. DO NOT GO THERE! THEY WILL OVER CHARGE YOU AND DO A VERY VERY BAD JOB. NEVER EVER TAKING MY VEHICLES HERE EVER AGAIN! THEY CAN'T EVEN DO AN OIL CHANGE RIGHT. If the other shop I took it to didn't catch the overfill of oil, I would've had a blown head gasket. They were trying to make my head gasket go bad on purpose so they don't look stupid telling me I had a blown head gasket. BUNCH OF CROOKS! HOPE THEY HAVE GOOD LAWYERS.

Oil Change
When dropping my car off Sam is very friendly, asked when I needed my car and stated 12:30 or earlier he said great. I got a call at 12:30 stating they were short handed and my car wouldn't be ready until 2PM. A call sooner would have been nice since I need to be somewhere no later then 12:30. However Sam state the service would be free due to the inconvenience and timing of the call update.

Thank you for coming in. I'm sorry for the extended time it took us to complete the service on your vehicle, and for the less than convenient notice of this. We will make our best effort to make sure this doesn't repeat itself. It was good to meet you. Take care. Mark Hanson, owner Southend Auto Care.

Good Experiences
This was the third time me going through Southend to get my car looked at and they always are quick to schedule unlike waiting months for dealerships, reasonable pricing, and as a female they don’t make me feel like they are trying to get over! Always open honest and keep you updated every part of the process .

Consistent service
They have provided a through inspection of my cars over the years to the point that I have never had a breakdown even though my cars are older. Excellent preventive maintenance for over 40 years!

BMW Headlight Help
I CANNOT say enough GREAT things about the guys here. They are hands down the best, no questions asked. They’re currently helping me out with my headlight issues and they’ve been nothing short of helpful.

Trust them with my geriatric car :)
Brought my 1998 Altima in for an oil change and asked about my super dim lights. They gave me some options for that as well as some options to fix some oil leaks. I declined the oil leaks since they explained they weren't a safety issue and had my lights fixed up. I always get prompt, friendly, communicative service here. I've been coming here for about a million years and can't imagine where the bad reviews come from. I feel 100% confident coming here and having them help me make decisions about which work is critical and which jobs can wait.
