Review from Akiva R.
Astoria, NY
9/21/2011
STAY AWAY FROM HERE! I chose to use this shop based off the reviews on the Car Talk website, and though they may have been a decent shop at one point, they certainly are not now.
I called 3 days ahead of time to see if they could fit me in and to get a rough quote. The guy sounded nice and I was told no problem and that the job would be roughly $500.
When I got there Monday, the mechanic (different from the one on the phone) was rude and clearly pissed off to see me. He told me they are "a small shop that can't fit many cars" and that I would have to find a parking spot my self to keep the car overnight if i wanted service. They then brusquely told me they couldn't stand by the earlier quotes (with out even looking at the car) and would call with new ones in the morning.
A day went by with no word, and at lunch the following day I decided to call them. They told me that they were unwilling to give me a quote, that it could cost any amount and that i would have to pay at least $250 to find out what the quote might be, and if I did not agree to go forward at that point it would cost another $250 to put my car back together! On top of this they told me that if I did want them to do the work I should order the part my self and bring it in to them. Then to top it all off they told me they dont have the time to do the work this week and that I needed to pick the car up that evening and bring it back at some unspecified time.
I had to cancel my plans for the evening in order to pick up the car, and when I arrived the dash was in pieces and they slapped it in place and called it good with pieces bent way out of shape. I have never before written a bad review, and am and easy to get along with person, but the level of rudeness and disrespect at Alpha is simply not worth putting up with.
As a final footnote, the guy there before had to come with his spare key to pick up his car as from what I could tell they had lost his keys!
