(This is the same review I`ve sent off to the Better Business Bureau of Los Angeles.) I`ve stopped by this general mechanic before since I rent out a small apartment in the Highland Park area. I drive a 2005 Acura TSX with 178,000 miles on it (at the moment). I used to stop by for oil changes or a used tire replacement and had no issues, other than the fact that the owner of the shop, Steve, would blatantly pig ou... view moret on me even when I told him I wasn`t interested. He`d ask me if I had a boyfriend (to which the reply is "No, and I`m not interested -- too busy and young to care."), if I`d had relationships before ("That`s no one`s business except my own.") and how I can`t possibly be a single girl and enjoy some action on the side ("I just don`t."). Yet I managed to still go here every four or five months for something a general mechanic could do that I felt needed to be done for my car because things were reasonably priced. My car broke down on the I-5 South on Tuesday evening because of an electrical issue. I had it towed by AAA to the shop that evening and wrote a note on the dash telling the shop that I would be in the following morning to handle the repairs. That morning, he told me that I needed the alternator and power steering hose &/or pump changed. 20 minutes later, he called me saying I had an engine problem, so I came back. Their wrench couldn`t turn to get to certain parts of the car, so that meant the motor seized up. They said it`d be $4k to repair. I freaked out (what an ultimatum!), so I asked if I could get it towed to my parents` the next day. They said that`s fine. Before I left Steve wanted to know if the gentleman I was with was my boyfriend or not -- none of your business! (He was a great consultant for this issue, though. Generally it does NOT only take 20 minutes to determine that a motor is dead.) I had the car towed to my parents` Honda specialist 34 miles away. Not just because they trust him, but I don`t need any more tomfoolery at this point. Tired of being stranded. Turns out that I needed a new power steering hose, alternator, battery, timing belt and starter. The same day (Thursday) I drove home in a safe car with no harassment at the mere fraction of $880. Go Harry at Honda Auto Star! PS This review was slightly changed with wording for YellowPages since they do not allow the blatant questions Steve asked me typed here.. too adulterous.
