I Will never go back to this shop. After having the same part changed out 2x due to the cheap parts and (not OEM parts as promised) as well as not thouroghly bleeding the lines it took another mechanic shop to fix the problem correctly (costing in-addition to what I paid Paradise) another $400. + $100. in towing having been stranded on freeway. The owner of Paradise Auto (Charlie) would only refund me $100. In parts and verbally told me he didn't care what happened nor the fact that i had to pay another mechanic to fix his work and then told me to take him to court because he loves court for he was not covering any additional cost I incurred nor refunding the total amount i paid him. Horrible experience to be treated like that by the owner on top of the fact that he doesnt have any respect for a repeat customer!
That is not what happened at all. On 7/24/15 you came in and said your clutch wasn't working and you have been on the internet and told us to change out your clutch slave cylinder. We told you that you should change the clutch master cylinder at the same time and you said no. We charged you a total of $131.69. You returned on 10/14/2015 and said your clutch wasn't working and wanted us to replace the clutch slave cylinder again under warranty and we did at no charge but I explained the the clutch master need to be replaced and you said no. You called me on 10/16/2015 and told me you were stuck at home and your clutch didn't work. Myself and a mechanic went to your home and installed a new clutch master cylinder, the part I told you to replace all along, and it fixed the problem. I charged you $36.00. On 8/31/16 you came to my shop demanding hundreds of dollars because some other shop replaced parts on your car. My warranty states that repairs need to be made here unless other arrangements are made by me in advance. I was not informed you were having the car repaired at another shop nor did I speak with them or you nor did I approve any outside repairs nor did I see any invoices or explaination from the other shop. I reimbursed you for the parts you returned. Thank you for the positive feedback. It helps us be a better shop.

We had such a wonderful experience here, as we did last year, too! The woman who helped us choose new frames for my daughter was great- objective, took her time, thoughtful in her feedback on fit, and informative about what the best options and pricing would be, especially when trying to combine blue light lenses, transitions lenses, cute frames, durability, and insurance considerations. Thank You!!Read More …
