User Reviews for T & R 76

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Best and most professional Repair facility I have been to. Better service than the dealership. Tony took care of my M5 BMW and found things that the dealership had missed. The attention to detail at T & R is rare to find. Finally I found a repair facility that treats my car like one of their own. Every porblem and issue was pointed out and shown to me before the work was done. Very professional. I highly recommend this repair facility. They even carry all the original oil , coolant and fluids for my M5.

Pros: 2 thumbs up

Cons: none

I own a 2003 MBZ S500. A friend of mine suggested that I should try servicing it at T & R 76 instead of the dealer. I decided to give this facility a try, and I was amazed at the level of expertise that they have. T & R 76 technicians were very precise and efficient in diagnosing the check engine light problem and were able to repair the problem within the same day. My car would have stayed at the dealership for several days for a similar issue. Thank you T & R 76, I will surely recommend you to my friends!!

Pros: Efficient and Experienced

Cons: None

This is a follow up on my previous review. My Ferrari required its first major service based on time and miles. Tony performed the service flawlessly and discovered some potential problems and corrected them before they resulted in any damage. While the work was not inexpensive, it was an investment in the proper care of a high pedigree automobile. Tony and I have developed a close working knowledge with my car as I had originally hoped for. I would have never received this quality of service at a dealer's service department. First Review: I just bought a Ferrari and wanted to find a qualified mechanic who be my personal mechanic. Keeping a Ferrari in good mechanic order is an investment with the dealer charging $1,000's for routine repairs. Since my car is out of warranty I prefer Tony's knowledge and real world experience over the factory's recommendations. Tony's prices are considerable lower than dealer prices and I am confident that Tony will develop a close and full understanding of my car along with all its quirks that an exotic car always has. A huge benefit of using Tony is I can always call him on his cell phone if I need instant advice or service. I highly recommend Tony for Exotic car service.

Pros: Expert knowledge and experience

Cons: None

Tony is the master when it comes to working on ultra high-end cars! His work on my both my 2003 & 2005 Ferrari's (my babies!) was precise, to OEM factory specs and at an extremely fair price. Don't let his location fool you ... he's got all the factory workbooks and diagnostic tools to work on late-model high-end cars ... Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Bentley's and Aston Martin's ... to name a few!

Pros: precision, knowledge, careful treatment of high-end cars

Cons: doesn't charge enough

Pros: QUALITY REPAIRS

Cons: n/a

These guys know what they are doing. They are experts in European cars. I did not think it was poosible for my 7 year BMW to run as good as it did after they serviced it. Thank you for making my ride so much more enjoyable.

Pros: Thumbs up

Cons: none

The check engine light drove me crazy. I had been struggling with this issue on my Volvo for 8 months. Finally I took my vehicle to T & R 76. After 3 hours!! I got an exact estimate and diagnosis for the problem, and my issue was sloved. I has been 3 weeks, and the check engine light has never come back on. Thank you T&R for taking care of my car. Will recommnend you to all my friends.

Thank you for figuring out what is wrong with my car. After trying 3 different shops, you are the only one who could fix it so it can pass the Smog Check. Thank you again, you saved me!!

Pros: Experts in Diagnostics

Cons: n/a

My car wouldn't start, so I called the insurance's tow company, which brought me to T&R. They said they'd try to charge my battery and to come back later. When I came back, they went ahead and replaced the battery without my permission, and charged me $120 for the tow (insurance paid this), $130 for the battery + $40 labor! I said no, put my old battery back. They said that this was the only battery that fit my car (a Honda Accord?!?!) and that my car wouldn't start otherwise. Well, I said jump me them, that'll get me to a Sears. They said it would take an HOUR to put the old battery in. I said I'd watch then. Lo and behold, it took less than 15 minutes. AND my car started with no problems. I went to Sears and got a brand new battery for less than $90 for everything. I will never go back to this place again.

Pros: I suppose I had to be towed comewhere...

Cons: Does repairs without permission, and price-gouges when they think you are desperate

With all respect to you, we would like to take this opportunity do disagree with your comments. First of all we, under no circumstances take advantage of anybody. That said, we gave you an estimate to diagnose your car "no start" problem and that estimate was $120 which we did not charge you for. We did not charge you $120 for towing!! We had to put in a new battery to be able to test the electrical system and confirm taht there was no other problems. When you decided that you wanted to take your car to Sears, we removed the battery and reinstalled the old one and did not charge you anything. Batteries do range in price and the brand we carry is one of the highest quality on the market and it does cost more than a Sears battery. Furthermore, we diagnosed your car problem for free, something Sears did not need to do since you were able to tell them what the problem was based on the work we had done, and thereforethey charged you less just to put in a new battery!

I think the Citysearch editors need to actually bring their own vehicle in to have work done. They won't be so positive afterwards. This place scares me. It's in my neighborhood and all I needed was a smog check and an oil change. They failed me for the smog check and then tried to sell me on repairs. When I said no thanks, I felt that the guy was trying to intimidate me because I'm a woman. I got out of there quick! And to top it off, I took it to another 76 station (on 19th) and I passed the smog check. Imgaine that!!

Cons: Unfriendly, expensive, sketchy

Smog Failure
Posted on 01/15/2008
Unfortunately, we have no control over failing your car or not failing it. The smog machine is calibrated by the State of California and the Smog test is performed according to regulations. It is not uncommon for a car to fail at one time and pass after driving it for a while. At the time we perforned the test, your vehicle failed as stated in the smog report we provided you. If you considered trying to figure out the cause of the failure intimidating, we appologize!! We were just trying to offer our help and services!
