“A quick-lube chain said all four brakes were gone. Tomas sent gauge photos: fronts at 2mm, rears still at 5mm. We paid for the fronts.”
Driver reviews
Second opinions that saved real money.
Plenty of our regulars first came to Juniper Avenue for a second opinion on a four-figure estimate from somewhere else.
“The dealer quoted $2,100 for a catalytic converter. Renee smoke-tested it and found a split exhaust gasket instead. Total: $240.”
“My Prius at 120,000 miles needed coolant, plugs and fluid. About 35% less than the dealer, with photos of every part pulled.”
“Two balances elsewhere and still a shimmy at 65 mph. Tomas showed me torn control-arm bushings on the lift. It drives straight now.”
“Keys in the drop box before work, a free ride to the office, UV dye photos of a leaking condenser seam by lunch. Cold air that evening.”
“The CR-V looked spotless. The $155 inspection found cleared transmission codes and a rotted subframe under fresh paint. We walked away.”
