I called to get a quote for replacing a front axle on a 2018 Toyota CHR. The diagnostic charge would be $150 and total cost would be $750. Since I had both front axles replaced on a Honda odyssey at AMMCO for $850 total I know it's too much and decided to tackle it myself after watching a YouTube video. Turned out it only took me 30mins to remove and less than an hour to install a new one I bought at O'Reilly for $203. I don't think it would take a professional mechanic with shop tools more than 30mins to do the job! Saved myself over $500!

Highly recommend them. They're honest and care about their customers more than their pockets, which is really hard to find. After the Beaverton Nissan dealership fully inspected my vehicle, they told me that both front lower control arm bushings are torn, and they quoted me for $1085.56 to replace both front lower control arms and alignment. I texted and emailed about 15 auto repair shops and they all quoted me around $950-$1000. Even worse, On Site Tire did a suspension inspection, and confirmed that both front lower control arm bushings are torn and told me that they would also need to replace both front tires even though I still have around 5k miles more on them. On the other hand, Bill quoted me $873.28 and gave me a $40 discount. I left the vehicle with them. They did their inspection. Hours later, Bill called me telling me that there was nothing wrong with the control arm bushings and that he wouldn't charge me for it. They're good people, and you can trust them with your vehicle and wallet. I'm glad I found them and got to meet them.
