I had a regrettable experience at the Mint Auto located on 17th Avenue. I initially brought my vehicle in with a suspected issue: a broken vertical shift cable. After their supposed inspection, I was informed that I needed a costly transmission replacement, amounting to $2800. Additionally, they charged me $80 for their inspection services. What raised further concerns was the fact that my car remained untouched during its stay at the shop, as the shift boot had not been removed and the car had not been moved. Frustrated by this, I went for a second opinion from a reputable transmission shop. To my relief, they confirmed my suspicion that it was indeed a broken shift cable, which incurred a reasonable repair cost of $500. Adding to my dissatisfaction, one of the employees at Mint Auto on 17th tried to convince me to sell my car to his friend, who specializes in buying and selling vehicles. This was clearly an attempt to exploit the situation for personal gain. My experience at this shop was extremely disappointing and concerning. Not only did they misdiagnose my car's issue, suggesting an unnecessary and expensive repair, but they also charged me for an inspection that was incomplete. Their unethical attempt to push me into selling my car only added to my dissatisfaction. I would strongly advise others to exercise caution when considering this shop for their automotive needs.
