AVOID A&A Motors Like The PLAGUE!
I had my Nissan Pathfinder towed to A&A Imported Motors because it wouldn't start one morning and this place was right nearby. What a mistake! When the smoke cleared, I was fleeced to the tune of $1,300+. When I asked the woman in the office for a breakdown, she became rude and impatient - interrupting me, shouting, etc. I later learned that the problem was a minor wiring issue that could have been fixed for less than $150, but apparently, the characters at A&A saw a female with a disabled vehicle who didn't have a clue about cars and decided to have a field day with me. They of course proceeded to find all sorts of other things "wrong" with my car - which was strange, because nothing else was wrong with it prior to this. I take my car in to the Nissan dealership regularly under its scheduled maintenance warranty, so any major problems would have been brought to my attention there during routine servicing. A&A Motors simply took advantage of me because my car was disabled, and in order to get it back, I was forced to take their word and pay them whatever they wanted. I guess I should feel lucky that they didn't charge me twice that amount.
But it gets worse: I just had my oil changed for the first time since I'd been to A&A for these repairs. The oil guy showed me that the previous mechanic didn't even bother to replace the clips on my skid plate - instead leaving the entire plate off! When I phoned A&A to discuss this, I got the same nasty woman who flatly refused to even offer to have it looked at. She insisted that "her men" didn't do that, and began screaming vulgarities at me. I hung up on her and immediately contacted Consumer Affairs.
So if your car needs servicing, AVOID this place like the plague! If A&A was the only mechanic in the neighborhood and I got stuck again, I would literally get out of my car and push it manually to the next closest mechanic - ANY mechanic - just to avoid the nightmare I endured here.
