Zip Zap Auto

One repair lead to another and another because their mechanics no NOTHING about American Cars and praise japanese cars only. My car was in fantastic shape with a great service history. I had one repair done here and then had to return it for more and more because each time they fixed something, they also broke something. These clowns have no idea what to do. I remember watching one young boy in his 20s pointing to things on my car to another young mechanic that appeared no older than 20 and it was clear they were using my car as a mouse for him to experiment on... I took the car back a few times ""under warranty"" to fix what they messed up.... they charged me money saying I needed other things fixing ( but I know for a fact with evidence from another repair shop that it was their work at fault )... anyway, to cut a long story short $2000 WORSE off and my car has the same fault 6 months later and NEW faults that ZIP ZAP created on my car. I will never return to these clowns again. I have a good mind to take my documents and my 2nd and 3rd repair shop ""list of faults on the car "" to a lawyer and take these idiots to court. They owe me $2000 and my car to be repaired properly. coming here to save $100 initially, was a HUGE mistake. My lovely car .. I feel like selling it for scrap metal now. Even though it is in near mint condition. NEVER USE ZIP ZAP. Go to the autozone shop across the road on the other side of the gas station and talk to the guys in there, they hear stories about zip zap, one lady had her engine worked on and was told "" good for another 60k + miles"".... a week later the engine exploded. "" another great zip zap repair where they break something else along the way "" ... just like so many idiots here in las vegas, ... people know how to dismantle a car and replace a part, but they have no idea how to put it back together again. I finally found a place in California that will fix my car ( a specialist in sports car ) but my car is nothing special.. but at least they have a track record of knowing what they are doing.... so it looks like another $2000 and all the faults on my car including engine mounts and things that zip zap broke, will finally be fixed and I will have a good running car again ( fingers crossed ) .. I AM FURIOUS AT ZIP ZAP and there lame excuses!!!!! If you have a fault on your car, your better off selling your car ""as is"" before you go to zip zap and develop lots of extra faults that they will cause to your vehicle because quite frankly, they do not know what they are doing and the place needs closing down.\r \r \r \r \r more

i took my wifes saab 9-3 in to get the radiator and a/c looked at on 4/18/12. they said it would be 468.00 to replace the radiator and lower hose and 245.00 to fix a/c. then when she took it in on 4/23/12 they told her the radiator would cast 598.00 and the a/c would be 1199.00 not to mention the other repairs they tried to con her in to getting (almost 2000.00 on top of other repairs. they had the vin and plate number of the car on both bids. not sure whats going on down there but we gave them a chance because of the other reviews on this page. they might be great mechanics but i'm not sure how honest they are. my first experience with them was not a good one so i wanted to give then a second chance by sending my wife in and maybe they just thought she was naive and that they could get one over on her, Im not sure what they where thinking or how they got seven five star reviews when clearly they are two star at best. they must write their own reviews. so if honesty means anything to you like it does me stay clear. one star would be too low since i did never use their services to do any repairs to the car. but when i get two different work ups on the same car from the same shop in the same week i get ticked!

I have taken my Camry to Zip Zat twice. First visit I had my brakes replaced and the second visit I had a brake noise. The master mechanic quickly diagnosed the problem (dust build up) and cleaned and adjusted brakes and sent me on my way. Best part is there was no charge. Zip Zat stands behind their work and does not up sell! It is great to find an honest service provider the delivers as promised. Pros: null Cons: null more

Was having problems with passing smog for 1974 Ford. Samir did a free diagnostic, and told me what needed to be done for the car to pass smog. The price was $132.00 for the repairs, and 30 minutes later I was at the DMV getting my car registered!!! Thanks guys for a wonderful experience!!! I will recommend you to all my friends!!! more

I've never been treated so well. I got an oil change, bottle of cold water, and an ice cream for $14.95. They did a free inspection and found another problem on my car and gave me a free estimate. The place is clean and the people are pleasant, friendly, and professional. I checked other places for prices and got a second opinion to make sure the extra work was needed. It was needed and Zip Zap gave me the best price by far to get it done. . . and of course more ice cream and this time cookies and coffee too. A great place to get your car fixed but no so great for my diet. LOL more

this place is a joke! they are keep guessing what could be the problem!? the weird owner Samir is really a dumb guy! dont take your car there unless you wanna pay hundreds for nothing. more

My brakes were making a squeaking noise, so I stopped in as they had a HUGE sign advertising a $169 brake job...INCLUDING rotors, right on the sign!! Well, after looking at my car for over 3 hours trying to figure it out, they finally told me I needed front pads and rotors, to the tune of a WHOPPING $569.98...on a regular Toyota Corolla!! WTF, said I! Then, they told me I couldn't leave, as it was unsafe, so I finally agreed to have them fix it. They then suggested 2 CV drive axles, that I just had replaced at the dealer, and after all this, the brakes pull violently to the right ever since they finished the work! They spoke clear English there...right up to the point I brought the car back for the pull, then the language barrier appeared! Unbelievable! Steer clear of this house of bumbling idiots, well, that is if you can steer after they touched your car! more

My KIA has been in their shop three times now and I am very impressed with their service. I live far from where I wotk so I need to trust a shop that they'll finish my service the same day, something the dealer could not do. My first visit there I had my brakes replaced, and the new ones are great. Second time I had the car overheat and quit on me on the freeway. It was towed there and repaired the same day. Third time the KIA fails me again [The car has a 100K mile warranty that never covers the problem.] the owner of the shop, takes the time to explain the problem, research options for fixing it, and keeps you in the loop about what is happening. When a part was not available to repair it the same day he even loaned me his car so I could get home. Honest, small town, outstanding service. For anyone old enough to know what the reference is at our office we call his shop the "Mayberry Auto Repair". more

They zipped my car in and zapped it out in no time at all. This had to be the most pleasant automotive experience I have ever had, bar none. I was greeted promptly as I entered their very clean, comfortable and inviting lounge, offerred fresh coffee, cocoa, cookies, ice cream, and provided with current magazines and free wifi. What beats it all though was the price, $19.95 for an oil change! I'm going back there for sure and sending my friends as well. \r more
