Auto Repair at The Hive

Took my vehicle here to have transmission fluid changed along with winter tires. They changed the tires and fluid but never changed the filter, it was too time consuming they said. When I got the bill, it was 2.5 hours to change the transmission fluid and they billed me $21 a quart for transmission fluid X 5 quarts! I looked up the same exact product at the local parts store for $9 dollars a quart. My total bill was $472. Then they said my front end was dangerous to drive, I shouldn’t even drive it across town...it would be another $1050. To repair front struts, and they cautioned...who knows what else we will find when we take it apart! I took the estimate home to look up the part number to find they were over charging me again on the parts by atleast $150 per strut/$300. I paid the bill, had my car towed to another place and the struts were repaired for $580, drives like a charm! The Hive guys were nice but they are slick! When I questioned the price of things they passed the buck around to each other before I got an answer, that’s what it costs us....hey, I don’t mind you guys making a little profit on parts but jeez, just reach in my pocket and steel money? If you go here, ask for an estimate, check the prices elsewhere because they price gouge!

We got the oil changed for both of our vehicles here and the service was great! We really appreciated the “first responders” discount, what a deal! They also gave me a very reasonable quote for replacing my serpentine belt, which I will definitely be getting done there soon. They were timely, professional, and it was quite apparent they weren’t digging around under the hood looking to find problems that didn’t exist.

I love that these guys explain what is needed and why. They are very transparent with the process and all around good people. It’s nice to be confident in the work being done every time I take a vehicle in.

They get the work done quickly and it is a high quality. Their prices are very fair. Would highly recommend them for anyone who is having car issues.

I took in my car for what I thought was a slow leak in one tire and got a call back saying all 4 tires were showing cords and very dangerous to drive. I ended up taking the car to les schwab because I still had a warranty on the tires which made them more affordable over there, but the hive graciously charged nothing for examining the problem. Thank you guys, you probably literally saved my life! Really didn't want to become a rl ghost for Halloween. ud83dudc7bud83dudc7bud83dudc7b
