| - The guys at ADS are true professionals when it comes to automotive maintenance and repair, but not only are they good, but they are honest as well.
And the story goes...
I had a problem with my Land rover seeming to run a little rough, so I hooked up my code scanner to see if i got any fault codes, which I immediately did and found out I had a bad o2 sensor (probably form having to o much fun in my truck). I normally do most of my own maintenance on my Rover , simply for the fact I enjoy it and do not trust many to handle it in a professional and none up-sale manner.
BACK STORY:
I called a local Indie Rover mechanic in chandler (will remain nameless) and right off the bat he is trying to tell me that my Rover may this or that, even after I explained to him I had pulled the fault code with my scanner and know what the issue is. After going back and forth he says "yeah i can do it" I said great and asked when, becasue I already had the premium Bosch replacement part.
This is when the fun starts and the end of my ever dealing with this guy: He begins to tell me how I shouldn't trust just any part, which I don't, and goes on-and-on about how if I get the part through him he can warranty it and blah blah blah. For fun I ask how much for part and how much for installation. He quotes me $250.00 total, with $100 of that price being the instal!!! I shot back with the fact I had purchased the BEST factory suggested replacement already for $40.00 and have it in hand.
This makes him upset or something, as he continues down the path of suggesting I cannot trust such a part, and that he'll throw it in without diagnosing for a 100.00, but he wouldn't warranty anything (which is fine, as I am supplying the part) ... this goes on for another five minutes and i finally let the guy know I ain't buying what he's selling, and go about my day.
So....
I call ADS after reading reviews and with them being close to my home in Ahwatukee, I figure why not. I instantly get service writer "Adam" on the phone, I explain the situation, just like before to the rip off artist and get this reply,"bring it in and we will swap it out, no problem" that's it, that's all, nothing more. He literally did not try to sell me, or shoot down my part in any way. I was blown away by that and knew I had found my place, but the best part is he was going to do it for $70 total!!!! WOW!
In shock and almost not believing it; I said alright, then proceeded to take my truck down, and sure as the sun will shine he called a few hours later, problem fixed for $70. An honest mechanic and fantastic shop right in my own backyard.
ADS has, and will continue to earn my business and my recommendation as a go to shop for automotive needs.
Oh, my diagnosis was right and my part fixed the problem, so the indie mechanic dude just sounds more and more like a rip off artist.
