Desert Crank & Engine

Big fan of this place. This place gets 5 stars because of one thing, honesty. I have an older model Mercedes that I brought over from California and this place was recommended to me. In the beginning they offered to take the car to a Mercedes specialist (which they did, and I wrote a review on that place too) because their guys aren’t too familiar with older German cars. Side note: If you have a newer European car I would take it to them too, as I saw plenty of newer euro cars there too. Long story short, I have brought the car back to them to continue the work. The prices are fair, but what really gets me is how they don’t try to oversell to you. There is a problem with the fuel system and they said the problem could be 5 different things. Those things ranged from about $ 100-​$ 1500 to fix and they said they recommended that we start with the cheapest fix to see if that solves the issue. That really got to me, because they’re trying to get the job done the right way without compromising their reputation, the safety of the job and my money. I’m going to keep going to this place because it isn’t about the money is about the values and business ethics this place has.

we have two older cars in our household, so having a good, honest mechanic is something we don’t take for granted. rod and his employees are friendly and accomodating and their work is top notch. they can easily identify the problem and correct it — many times within the same day. the shop is welcoming, with bar stools around the service counter, two or three vending machines, and the best part, a big, comfy leather couch and tv to keep you occupied if you’re waiting. call ahead to make sure they can get you in. you won’t be disappointed! they are open on saturdays.
