Honolulu, HI
The mechanics/cashiers at Lex Brodie's are always nice and helpful. I've never had a problem with this establishment until my most recent 3 visits, which is why this isn't a 1-star review. Most recently, my car has had AC issues. Here is the history: First visit, they injected the dye and charged with refrigerant, said there were no leaks. 1-day later, hot air was blowing out. Next visit, they said the compressor was messed up. Replaced that for a price over 1,000. They couldn't finish the whole job on the same day, so I had to bring my car in the following Sunday. Third visit, they said there was another problem with the AC, since hot air was still blowing. Scheduled another AC check for the upcoming weekend. Final summary: 4 separate visits. Over 1k charge with an UNRESOLVED problem. I'm not even sure if replacing my compressor was necessary, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Revised rating will be dependent on how this final visit goes/how much I'm charged. I'm disappointed, but not ready to drop this establishment yet. Update: 1-star, Reasons: 1) Took 4 visits to NOT fix the problem. 2) Asked for a quote before doing anything to the AC, they started changing the compressor without calling. 3) Turns out the compressor wasn't the problem, so I was charged upwards of 1k for a faulty diagnosis.
