West Bellfort Auto

Awful.\r \r Get to know typical horrible car mechanics that fail to address your problem with an expensive bill? This shop is one of them. Or even worse. Read on.\r \r Long story short. My car's Check Engine Light was on due to random misfire; I need to fix it to pass the state inspection. I chose West Bellfort Complete Auto because most other mechanics around SW 610 do not have online reviews at all. Before I came, I called to ask their service warranty. And they said that their repair has half a year warranty. Okay.\r \r To fix my car, they replaced multiple parts (temperature sensor, thermostat, etc), did some cleaning work, and charged $640. They let me pass the state inspection. Before driving my car away, I confirmed with them the warranty. ***However, they said the half-year warranty only applied to the parts they have installed. Very different from what they said over the phone previously.***\r \r Unfortunately, one month after the repair, the Check Engine Light turned on again and it was still random misfire! I took the car back. This time they told me to replace fuel injectors and decarbonize the engine. ***Basically, their previous $640 repair was useless (of course, they will deny) and now they ask me to spend another multiple thousand dollars.***\r \r ***Poor communication.*** They take forever to call me back. On the first day, they promised to call in a few hours. No call at all. The next day, I had to call them back. Again, they said they would call on the same day. Again, no call at all. I waited for another day and called them back.\r \r ***Arrogant/offensive technician,*** who may appear okay in initial phone calls. This guy sneered and yelled at customers, accusing customers of using 'cheap gas' by saying 'only cheap person use them', and saying 'I wouldn't even use it on my dog' in referring to an OBD tool owned by the customer.\r \r I used to only read online reviews. This time, I felt compelling to contribute one. And I post in multiple places.\r more

Timing belt in my audi was worn out, and the delearship quoted $2,300 just to replace it. Luckily, a friend recommended Bellfort Auto and they were able to do the job for under $600 instead. It's been over a year and I haven't encountered any problems with the repair. Pros: null Cons: null more

VERY GREAT SERVICE, EXCELLENT WORK DONE,HONEST AND FAIR PRICES WAY ABOVE THE REST!!!! Pros: null Cons: null more

This shop is a rare find; the owner is an honest and knowledgeable mechanic who personally supervises all the work done in the shop. His prices are as fair as you will find and his work is top quality. He uses quality parts and only does the work that is required to get your car back on the road. I've been using him for over 10 years and have never had any problem. If you are taking your car to the dealership instead of W Bellfort Auto you are simply wasting your money. more

West Bellfort Auto has performed a variety of work for me ranging from simple inspections to major repairs. I have never been disappointed. He has never been more expensive than his estimate, has always been truthful and uses only quality new parts. \r \r I began using West Belfort because I live in the neighborhood, but now I wouldn't go anywhere else. I have recommend him to many of my female friends as a mechanic that will not take advantage of you b/c you are female or simply unknowledgable about auto mechanics in general. It is hard to find a trustworthy mechanic or lawyer and I can now recommend both. more

I took my jeep to west belfort auto and had my power steering pump assembly replaced for about $150 less then my dealer told me. The owner runs the business himself and although he is very upfront in how he talks he is honest and does great work. My jeep has been fine now for quite some time and if anything happens to it again I will definitly take it back to west belfort auto and not the dealer. more

My family and I have been using this place for over 7 years and we would not go anywhere else. The owner personally deals with customer and he is very honest and knowledgeable. He only recommends what is necessary to be done and does not try to sell any extra things that your car does not need. The prices are very reasonable and the work is great, I have never yet gone back for the same problem. Pros: Great service @ the right price more

This guys can fix anything and do any project you want. But if you're in a hurry you'd better check in up front and make sure he can deliver on your timing needs. He is very straightforward so if you can't deal with opinionated people this guy might not be for you. If you want an honest knowledgeable mechanic and need a fair price w bellfort auto should suit you well. Pros: quality, depth of knowledge, experience, and intelect Cons: Straighforward manner rubs some the wrong way more

This shop is awful! The owner is very rude (yells and argues with customers). Prices are high and repairs are done wrong - plus your car could be there for months - and chances are, even after being there for so long it will probably still be broken when you get it (as my car was). Be warned - do not, do not, do not go here. Cons: bad all around more
