After taking my Montero sometime in October 2020 for just Solenoid gear issue and 650$ in charges for a replacement. I end up with a leak on my transmission. went back to fix it which I had no problem to bring it back but turned out to be a bad solenoid so waited another week for a replacement and even now December 2020 still leaks. Note: he fixed the gear issue which he didn't know it was working but I didn't have a leak problem all this time I had my montero.
I feel sorry for the guy with so many things to do on his plate. but he can't keep up what his employees are doing right or wrong Unfortunately I moved out of the state and I can't no longer bring the car for the 3 time to fix the issue. Who would! I wouldn't recommend it /: this is all on my personal experience. Attention to detail it's important to me.

Update 11/2020: Took my car to Tom's again for a few concerns, and another great experience! My car is no longer under warranty, so I have to pay for everything out of pocket, including rental cars, so Brian was flexible and I was able to take my car while we waited for parts to come in, to reduce how much I was spending on a rental cars and a rideshare. Really appreciate Brian being flexible and understanding about my situation.
I went to Tom's after having a horrible experience elsewhere. From my first conversation with Brian, the owner, over the phone, I knew that he was friendly and trustworthy. They were able to diagnose my car sooner than I expected, and provided much relief after I assumed I'd need a whole new transmission. Turns out it was just one part that was very inexpensive and they were able to repair it quickly and get my car back to me within a few days.
I read some reviews prior to going there, and Brian lives up to all of them. This will be my go-to place for all future needs. They have earned my business for life by being honest, trustworthy, and following through on their word.

I called about a clutch job Real simple remove and replace, a few hours max. The guy Brian that answered the phone showed no interest in helping me from the very beginning of the call. Apparently my my business and money wasn't good enough for their shop. and it got worse after I mentioned I wanted to supply some parts for the job. The customer service was awful even if they were a big franchise shop.
For a customer to get that treatment from a family owned business is appalling. I can understand if you don't want to use my supplied parts but. you don't have to be a self-righteous jerk about it. Thank a lot for showing me why most the people I know have started going to the San Fernando Valley for car service.
