Experts in repair
We have used Scotts Automotive for all our repair needs for our car for 6 years. We recently moved 2 1/2 hours away from Forney. We tried to find someone to fix the car near where we live. They weren't able to fix it. So, we brought it to Scotts Automotive were they fixed it in less than an hour! It was so worth the 2 1/2 hr. drive to get 5-star professional service. We will continue to make the drive for future repair needs for our vehicles.

Overpriced Services
My vehicle's alternator when out & of course my vehicle ends up at you guessed it, Scott's Automotive & Transmission. So once the shop contact reached out to advise me of the cost I kept saying to the man, that seems very expensive & his reply was a bunch of gibberish. He quoted me $1366.99 US Dollars, mind you, this was the only thing wrong with my vehicle. He stated my warranty company was only paying manufactures rates & I would be responsible for my $250.00 deducible & the remaining balance, so I listened intently for my portion of this astronomical quote. So, I was advised that the Warranty Company was only paying roughly $600 & some change & I would be responsible for $700 & some change. I was also told that if I paid with a credit card I would be charged $45 however, If I paid in cash, I would not be charged the $45. I was just too done that this repair was going to be this expensive, so I called my warranty company back & asked a few questions. I also googled what are the cost of alternators & found that they could run between $361-$548. The shop charges $1069.91 that $ 166.20 for Labor - $834.84 for the alternator. Wow! I get a 2nd call stating that my battery will not keep it's charge so that will need to be replaced and that came to $238.61. So that was $70.04 Labor $ 147.41. So I go to pick up my vehicle and I actually see the bill and I see all the charges listed on the bill: Diag-Hard Start: $138.00, Remove & Replace the Alternator Labor $166.20 & $834.84, Remove & Replace Battery: $$79.04 & $147.41, RO Fees: Shop Supplies $54.47 & Cash Discount $54.64= $1560.63. Please choose another shop so you can keep more of your money & not be over charged. Greed is still a sin, I'm just saying!

Scotts Automotive Goes Above and Beyond
I've been using Scott's automotive for a few years now ever since we moved to Rockwall. The work is always done right. But, let me tell you what separates Manny from most every other business out there - not just car repair busines - he cares about his customers and what his customer's need. I'll give you a perfect example... i took my car in there on a Thursday he said he thought it would be out by Friday, because I needed it for a weekend trip out of town. Friday rolls around, and at about 5pm I check in and he says they're just now getting the car into the shop. They had several cars in front of mine that took longer than expected. But, Manny said that he would stay later and take a look at it for me. At 10:45 p.m. I got a text message saying my car was ready to be picked up Saturday morning for our trip. What business owners do this in today's world? I can probably count the number on one hand. This is the place you want to take your vehicle, these are the type of people that you want to do business with.

Absolute professionals
I took my 2012 Chevy Tahoe into Scott's. This was my first experience with them.
An acquaintance of mine recommended them with high regard. Long story short, I will not only rely on them exclusively for my own vehicles from now on. I will also recommend them to anyone looking for an honest repair shop.
Top notch service.
Thank you Scott's Automotive.

Much different experience this time. Honestly disappointed after great service in the past.
Positive: work done on time.

Negatives: while picking up my car I noticed that my car inspection was not done even when I was charged for it. Initially I was told “this will take seven minutes”. After that I was told that inspection could not be done due to need for engine dashboard message to “reset”. I was also told to “run the car for 50 to 100 miles” in order to resent the engine dashboard message and bring the car back.
Hard to legally operate a car with no inspection.

I believe they can do better since they have done great in the past for me.

Price gouging
I had to correct Richard on several things when he provided me quote to perform the repair. They tried to charge me more than $1000 of what the average cost for this type of work to be done.

MANUEL S., Owner & President from Scott's Automotive & Transmission responded on 02/27/2020 11:51 AM

First off Mr. Maa thank you for your review. We here at Scott’s go above and beyond for our loyal customers. Now let me address the one star and context of your review. 

On Saturday February 22nd to you called in for a tow on your F-150 that had broken down in Greenville and you said your clutch had gone out and it was slipping so you parked immediately in a parking lot. I started a work order and noticed after running your VIN that your truck was an automatic which does not have a clutch but being the bigger man I didn’t call out your mistake or lack of knowledge of the mechanics of your truck. While on the phone you told me you are friends with Derek, our lead tech. You were texting him at 6:30 am in the morning and he doesn’t go to work until 8 am. I asked him if he knew you and he said he met you once and were his wife’s sister’s best friend’s husband...

I set the tow up and we drove all the way from Forney to Greenville and back to pick up your truck for the low cost of $160.00. 

Once the truck arrived, your buddy that you met once, Derek test drove the truck and ran his scanner on it. He determined the transmission needed to be rebuilt do to slipping once it got hot. You then texted Derek that you got a letter from Ford for a factory recall on your truck for speed sensors. These have no bearing on your clutch-less automatic transmission. I took Derek’s write up and got you pricing on rebuild, labor, and programming as he requested. Now the one and only thing you questioned me on was the labor. Yes I had entered your truck as 4x4 which called for 11 hours of labor but your truck is the lesser model with RWD and only required 9 hours. I am the Service Advisor, I go off the info provided by customer, the tech’s write up, and the VIN. None of the above informed me it was the lesser model with RWD. Being the intelligent man I am, I made the estimate for 4x4 because it is a lot easier to lower the bill than to raise it after being quoted. I fixed the labor and continued to go over estimate with you. You then questioned the $300 for programming, this was added by the buddy you met once so that you wouldn’t have to take it to the dealership to be done and we could get it done quickly in order to better serve you. Since you said you could get it done for free by the dealer, I removed it at your request. So now we had a lower price on labor and the programming removed.

  • Your transmission rebuild pricing was $2,195.00
  • Labor was $947.97
  • Towing was $160.
This is a very fair and honest price for a transmission that comes with a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty.
Yes there are cheaper places, but we did not price gouge nor over charge you $1,000.00.

During our final conversation about the estimate you even told me, “I was expecting a buddy hook up” all because you met Derek once and were able to get his cell number?

I also want to note, as I mentioned I am the Service Advisor. I am of no benefit to price gouge. I am commission based but only on parts. Transmission rebuilds are a sublet which are not considered parts. Manuel Scott the owner goes over every job that is serviced or repaired and he will not allow any customer to be over charged or charged for something they don’t need. We strive to be honest and up front to prevent customers getting upset. 

I received a call from you asking if we would tow your truck to the Ford dealer because you talked to another “buddy” that works there and the are going to do the factory recall update on your truck. You told me they are also going to cover all the damage to your transmission that you believe was caused by it needing the update. Even after being called a thief, I still hope they do the repairs for you. 

Again thanks for making this review and showing me not everyone is as truthful as I believe and proving your character to me. I knew the minute you started name dropping Derek and I asked him if he knew you, you were only interested in getting discounted or free work. We here at Scott’s do not work for free.
