Beard's Garage

Never again ! Took items out of my car without permission and wouldn't give it back. Thief. Then when I went back because I still had issues I was told that they will not correct it. Air pressure and resetting oil change notification was too much trouble for this business.

Absolute deceptive and shoddy work. Ask for an oil change and come out with a $1100 bill. No estimate apparently it's the mo. Visit and be prepared to be extremely disappointed, not have a repaired vehicle and be out a bunch of money.

I should have read all the reviews before getting involved with this guy. The Mr. T gold necklace was an obvious red flag with this guy. One review stressed that Tim and his company is a "Scam" and that proved be exactly what I experienced. They guess at what might be wrong, fix it with a cheap part or a patch job, and then when you have the same problem, as soon as you leave, they want to guess again $, and again $, and again $. It may not be all their fault as they are just poor mechanics that should not be running a business. I really do not think Tim has any idea what is wrong with your car and he and his mechanic are just ignorant. They should stick to replacing batteries or are more suited for mounting tires perhaps.

Terrible evaluation of the problem with my car.i told them to check starter. I drove car home car did same thing. It didt start. Plus i was now out 300$ for the first repair.

The guy is a bad mechanic that performed work without asking for permission to do so and then magically expected to be paid hundreds of dollars more than the initial quote.



Shops like this give local businesses a bad name.



RUN from this place.

Stopped in for an estimate on a new a/c installed in my van, was quoted $525 so the next morning I dropped my van off with Tim Beard to have the new a/c installed. When it was done and we went to pay the price jumped up to $630. Tim claims he had to replace the fuel filter, cost $100. Fuel filter has nothing to do with an a/c installation, he didn't even get consent to change that part. We paid and left kinda pist. Got really pist when using the a/c and it starts making an awful noise. Took the van back to Tim and hours later he calls to say that he replaced a pully and serpentine belt, again nothing to do with the a/c, another $120 for those parts. He continues to explain that our condenser is clogged and to replace will be another $300. We paid the $120 for the belt and pully even though we never agreed to have those parts replace and we left with our van. Next morning took it to another ASE certified mechanic and he checked out the a/c, said the condenser was fine but the compressor that Tim installed is defective and they overcharged the system with to much freon. Called Tim, he got super defensive and wanted to know if we were gonna call the cops. What a weird thing to ask! He finally said he would replace the compresser but I refuse to let this clown and his joke of a garage touch my vehicle again!

Nice guy but bad service. Work performed without authorization and then the parts he replaced broke after 1 month.



I'm all for supporting local business, but shops like this are the reason that large franchises survive.



Avoid.
