1 /5 Brittany Schrink: I had the worst experience with Avenue Garage, and I cannot stress enough how much I regret bringing my car here. It started when they quoted me $2,000 to fix my car. I picked it up after the initial repair, and within moments of driving off, the car started overheating. I returned, and they told me it would be another $2,000 to fix something else. I paid it- again and decided to give them another chance, picked up the car again, and guess what? It overheated once more as soon as I left the shop. I brought it back a third time, only for them to tell me I needed a whole new engine, at a cost of $8,000. Which is insanely overpriced. By this point, I had completely lost trust in them, so I left the car there for a few days and eventually posted it for sale online because i had no other choice. It barely drove without overheating. The car itself was worth only 7k.
When I came back to pick it up, I found that they had torn apart the dash to get a part number for another vehicle. They didn’t even bother to tell me about it. I watched them drive my car into the garage to put it back together but i had my kids with me and they were getting impatient after sitting for 30 mins in the car so we left. The next day, I brought a buyer to finalize the sale, and now the car wouldn’t even start after it just ran the day prior when they unnecessarily drove it into the garage to put the dash back together. The buyer left after being furious it didn’t start after i told them it did. I eventually found a buyer to take the car for $1900 when it was worth so much for than that and i was $4000 in at the shop. I asked the guy to message me after he fixed the vehicle and tell me what was wrong with it. He told me it was a plug that needed to be secured – nothing related to the engine, just incompetence and poor work on Avenue Garage’s part.
This place should be embarrassed about the services they’re offering. The staff was completely rude to me as well. Super unprofessional, dishonest, and overpriced. I will never return, and I highly recommend you avoid this place and never take anything here. This shop cost me to lose $4000 on their crappy work, and sell my $7000 vehicle for $1900. Taking a total loss of $9000!!! The person who bought it off me turned around and sold it and made a huge profit.
NEVER TAKE ANYTHING HERE AND DONT TRUST ANYTHING THEY SAY.
