1.0 star rating 5/12/2017 BEWARE , Customers with no mechanical background !!!!!!! I came here to get a Brake Lamp & Brake inspection on my car I owned for 9 years. Now due to salvage title , its a requirement to have a brake and light Cert. I put on a couple new tail light lens due to hair line cracks before showing up. Also I checked all brakes pads and rotors before showing up. Took 45 mins to due inspection. They said I passed lamp inspecion 100% But said front caliper is leaking, rear wheel cylinders leaking, Front upper Ball joints are bad, and outer tie rods and sway bar bushings. I know theyre 98% False, There trying to lie to add to the cost of repairs to make extra money! They wanted $950.00 to due repairs. I told them to take car down off rack , Iam leaving ! i went home , took off all wheels and looked for myself. Yes front tie rod & ball joint dust boots are bad and thats it. Went o local auto parts store and purchased dust boots and sway bar bushings for $10.00. installed myself. For the Rest I took brake cleaner and simple Green and cleaned all brake dust off rotors , calipers and rear drum brake assembly. I put wheels back on , Brakes feel great, very firm just like they always have. No spongie pedal that would in indicate air in lines or leaks. I drive 5 miles and go back home and check to make sure brakes are not leaking. After some hard braking while test driving, Still NO LEAKS !!!! So I drive to work 4 days . After 4 days I take off wheels again. Still No Leaks like they said. So I go back to Unitech for Re-inspection $40.00 fee. They see everything in cleaned like someone has obviously worked on the brakes. But No, not worked on, just cleaned and triple checked for leaks. Passed , $4.00 can of brake cleaner and simple green. But they tried to fail me again for dirty tie rods, said theyre bad, so I now get very unset, and say B.S. I am a Mechanic, there not bad! Another guy walks over and looks with his flashlight and then looks at the tie rods, then looks at me for a few seconds. Very odd I must say. I say well ??? He says, "oh its fine" They know they have been caught lieing now! I am not done yet , I am taking this to the B.A.R. By the by people my brakes are working the same as they did before going to the shop. I wasted $40.00 for re-inspection and tons of wasted time cleaning and triple checking when it truely wasnt needed. I am more upset on the lies and thinking of how many more people there doing this too!

I have 2 vehicles, 2005 Durango and 2001 Jetta to my unfortunate luck they both broke down at the same time. I previously took my Jetta to another well known tire shop (F1restone) only to be charged $400.00 and overheating issue still continued. After returning a 2nd day to be given another false diagnose the issue still persisted. Needless to say I did not want to take my Durango there or continue with another false repair. I happen to see Unitech on my way home from my 2nd tow home one late evening. I called the next morning and the service tech. Kamal was able to confirm an appointment for both vehicles that same day. After only a few hours (not long at all) service and repairs done to both cars, I can happily say I will be a long time customer of Unitech they were fast,reasonable and most of all HONEST!!!

Any work that I need to have done on my truck gets done at Unitech. Ive been a customer of theirs for about two years now and have not had a single unsatisfactory experience. After practically having my truck fully rebuilt (they installed a new engine!), I have learned that they produce quality work at a COMPETITIVE price. They just fixed my alternator today that failed last night coming home from work, and I was back on the road within an hour! Of course its always cheaper to do the work yourself, but if you can afford to pay for the peace of mind of having trained mechanics with the right tools for the job who produce quality work EVERY TIME, this is the place you want to go. Whenever anyone I know from this area asks for recommendations for car work, these guys get the nod without hesitation.

TOTAL RIPOFF ...i went to get car fixed at this place. The cars coolant kept on finishing in the radiator and eventually the engine overheated. I went to this place and the guys could not even figure out what the issue is and then eventually said that the thermostat gasket needs to be replaced. I ended up paying $128.00 and waited 3 hours. After getting my car back I drove around and the car was still doing the same thing and the issue was not fixed. I looked up the price of the gasket and it was $3.99 and i ended up paying $128.00. What a rip off... I will never recommend this place to anyone. ..STAY AWAY..and the only way you see all these good reviews is because Unitech Auto Repair is giving them discounts to their customers so they can write good reviews for them. !!!

Ive been going to Unitech for over 2 years now and always recieve consistent service with myself, and more importantly, my 2003 Avalon. Just recently I got a smog and oil change in no time at all, and now just had Unitech replace all my shocks/struts. It never amazes me how intuative and knowledgeable the staff is, and the owners are the friendliest guys youll ever meet!!! You cant beat the deals for the quality work that they do, and the shop is always CLEAN!!! More importantly, if you dont believe what they say, theyll show you your problem so you dont have to second guess their diognostic skills! So, dont wait till its too late when you have access to honest people who will take good care of you! Carlos

Every time I go to Unitech for service they really take care of me with lots of personal attention. As a woman, I appreciate their honesty about what my vehicle needs. They are honest about what servicing my vehicle needs and never try to upsell me. They are also very concerned about safety. I recently had my front brake pads changed. Though they use very good quality parts, I asked for genuine Honda brakes. They ordered them and I had my new brakes the next day. I was also offered a free cup of coffee. I have had new tires from Unitech and they are great. I have been going to them for over 2 years and continue returning for my Honda repair needs. Thank you Unitech for keeping my vehicle safe for the road.

I worked very closely with Kamal, one of the owners, who made me feel very comfortable while I awaited the verdict of my cars problems. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He was definitely customer service driven to make sure I knew everything up front of what was going on. Unitech also offers Flex Pay, which is a way to get credit and pay off your debt in three months with no additional charges. I was fortunate to be eligible for this service and as a result, I only had to come up with a small down payment for a bill that was approximately $400. Ultimately, I was very pleased with the service and not seeing my engine light on again. Good work Kamal and the Unitech staff. :o)
