We always seem to get screwed by various professionals and auto repair has been no exception. We have taken our little sentra here a few times over the years trying to keep it alive for a while longer and they never seem to do any extra repairs than what is needed. A spark plug one time when it wouldn't start, one time something was just loose and we left paying hardly anything. The last time we were in, it was for our minivan's air conditioning which went out. We called all around and everyone said they had to recharge the freon (sp?), then do some diagnostic sending dye in there to check for leaks, etc. Haugen said they would just recharge it (cheaper than anyone's quote for that procedure), and would only do the dye thing if the recharge did not work. It has been years since, no problems, and it saved us over 100 bucks. I don't want to be too optimistic here considering our past with car places, but we have had great luck with these guys so far.
