Bolt Mechanics

AVOID- picked up my friends car for her since she works full time. It started missing while driving in a heavy rainstorm and had to be towed. She was describing what the shop said to her; ie: could be the transmission, doing compression checks, etc. blah, blah. The final bill: 1,300 dollars.. cash.give me a break! So an ignition coil failed. OK. Then WHY replace all four coils? And with AFTERMARKET parts at 2.5 times the actual OEM parts? Whatever. When I picked up the car ALL the warning lights were on. Adam shrugged and said I didnt work on it. Thats his answer? Really? Its YOUR shop. So now I had to drive 120 miles with unknown issues. Those warning lights should have been observed, the owner notified and issue rectified as part of this repair. Although in hindsight I am glad he didnt as this simple repair would have likely been another thousand. A local shop checked it out the next day. A bad ABS sensor in the wheel. His genius mechanic couldnt find this? Didnt look? Took no responsibility AVOID. overpriced, incompetent.

My 2002 4Runner's check engine light came on when driving upstate and it started to limp along. I take great care of this car but it does have 143,000 on it and things come up. Poughkeepsie is not my home so I could not go to my regular mechanic. I searched reviews and came across Bolt. I called and was immediately impressed with the professionalism of how they answered my questions so I made a same day appointment and went. When I arrived, I was greeted and was impressed by the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the garage. They got the car right in and diagnosed the problem. Two sensors were the issue under the manifold which was a complicated and labor intensive repair. While they had the manifold apart they found a few other items that needed attention that would have cost me far more to have to reopen the manifold later when the parts failed. I told them to take care of it all and they did. The car was done in less than 24 hours and it is running better than ever. The repair was not inexpensive but very fair for what they did. They also guaranteed the work in writing and told me to contact them asap if anything came up. I would highly recommend the shop and Adam, Justin and their crew were tremendous.
