| - Finding a good mechanic is a hard thing. Especially when you're 350 miles from home. I was in Arizona on a trip when my car began to overheat within minutes of driving. Well, it was Sunday evening and everything was closed. I found myself panicked, as I was supposed to be starting my trek back to San Diego, and instead I would have to stay over another night and hope my car could be fixed in the morning. Needless to say, a cloud of gloom was hanging over me.
After a quick yelp search, I found Compu-Tech and the reviews were good. So I managed to get my car to the shop and parked it with a note that I would return in the morning.
I was there at 7:30am when they opened, and the shop was already in the swing of things. David greeted me when I walked in and, when I explained my plight, made sure my car was looked at immediately. He mentioned it might be an hour before they had a diagnostic. I was pleasantly surprised when 40 minutes later, the diagnostic was done, they could order the part right away and have me on the road in just a few hours. I was very much set at ease, and the gloom-cloud had lifted. As an additional perk, the waiting chairs were also comfortable. Which is nice, as I had to wait in the shop while my car was being worked fixed.
There was never any nonsense of trying to sell me extra parts or services. Just a clear non-sugar-coated explanation of what needed to be fixed and how much it would be. I appreciated this greatly as I have been given the stereo-typical female treatment at other places.
David was great. He was genuinely friendly, honest and helpful. While I was waiting, the owner, Sam, even came out and talked to me to see how I was doing. The service was quick, reasonably priced, and I was back on the road before noon. My car is running great and the problem was fixed completely.
Compu-Tech Automotive has earned every bit of the 5-star rating. I would happily make this shop my regular shop if I didn't live 350 miles away.
Thanks for the great service, guys!
