Maranatha Service Station

I've never been to an independent mechanic before for our two cars. I've always gone to the dealer but after messing up the cars a couple of times, I knew I had to look for service somewhere else. After asking around, someone recommended this service station located at a Shell gas station. In the past, I stay away from gas station mechanics, thinking they are always up to no good. Yes, I'm sorry I was like that which I shouldn't so we some suspicion, I tried it.



I spoke to the owner Mark and through our conversation, I have this feeling that he is friendly and can be trusted. The first work he did was delayed a bit due to the wrong part being sent to him but he explained everything and work was done before I know it. The cost in my opinion is very reasonable and cheap compared to bigger shops. If he can't do it, he tells it to you straight although I have never experienced that.



Bottom line, I'l continue to be his customer and report back my experiences here.

Aweful experience!!! My experience begins with me visting the service center for a simple inspection when they crashed my VW Passat leaving it with over $2k in damages. I completely understand that accidents happen but how the process was handled was a complete fumble. The owner Mark stalled on going through his insurance and caused me to be without a car for 4 days. After arguing with him I was forced to rent my own car out of pocket when his worker caused the whole ordeal. Then his insurance took a 9 days before my car was even at a body shop. Thank god the body shop did a good job but my I was without my car for 16 days. After the whole thing was completed I even had to argue with Mark about being reimbursed for the money I laid out to rent the car, he wanted me to wait until the insurance paid him which is complete bull being that I was forced to laid out over $600 bucks. After all my inconvience Mark even charged be $37 bucks for my inspection which he should have just covered it due to everything that transpired. Be weary of this shady owner. - Jeff Edmonds
