Hooray for Doyles!
2007-01-23Last week our van started overheating. This is a bad thing. So we took our van to Terry Doyle Automotive Service. It ended up being an expensive job, but Doyle’s has a good reputation, and I figured that they weren’t going to rip me off. Given that the issue was Dexcool coagulating in the coolant system, I’m glad that we got it fixed. I winced when I wrote the check, but at least it was going to a reputable, honest mechanic.
Well, today we received a phone call from Doyles. Apparently they discovered that they had overbilled us by $60 and wanted us to come down and pick up a refund of that money. I was impressed. Honestly, mechanics don’t have a good reputation for being honest and upright in their dealings. But this…this was more than I would expect from most businesses. So, kudos to Doyles for their honesty. They’ve earned my trust, and that’s saying a lot.
So, if you’re needing to find someone to work on your car, go to Doyle’s. You may pay a bit more, but you will be getting excellent, honest service for the price.
Doyle’s is great. I had them check out my car to see why the AC wasn’t working and all they billed me for was the dye and watchamacallit that runs the AC.
Also, everyone get your coolant system flushed. There was a coolant used a few years back that if not flushed will destroy your cooling system as my poor brother found out. Fortunately for me Doyle’s discovered this evil substance in my car and we got it flushed in time.
My car is at Doyle’s Automative right now. I wouldn’t trust it to any other mechanic in Peoria!
I called today to make an appointment for my van and they’re closing down forever as of March 28th this year.
Good-bye Doyle’s!
