Mangale Motors, Hayward CA

So it’s been exactly 1 week since I got my car back from the shop
I had an electrical issue. (Wires)
When I would press the start button to turn off my car, the engine wouldn’t shut off right away. It would take a few minutes. It would shake until it would force itself off… then my headlight would turn itself ON. (Yes, the lights were OFF) So b/c there was no other way for me to turn off, a button that was already off.it would kill my battery… which would make me jump my car every other day when it wouldn’t turn off properly.

Anyway… I had already made an appointment at a Ford dealership in San Leandro for an oil change.then I included the issue above. I had my car there for a lil over a week, I spoke with him the weekend after drop off (monday), and the day of pick up (the next Monday). I couldn’t get a hold of him throughout the time my car was getting looked at. I called & spoke w/a few other ppl then I eventually spoke w/manager who told me he would get the guy assigned to me to reach out, which he never did. When I picked up the car, they said they couldn’t find anything.
A day after, the car started doing the same thing, I dropped my car off after hours (b/c of work)
Spoke to someone new, asked for someone different for the lack of communication, the new guy didn’t like that so much, so I took my car to the Ford dealership in Fremont,
They ran another diagnostic (2), they too said they could not find anything, but that my oil was over filled & that I needed another one (drain out and put new), something about a lid under the hood needed fixing which would cost $1800, and I have bad tires in the front. They too had issues with communication, but it was kinda better then San Leandro. + it was there a lil over a week b/c I had to wait 3 days for someone to run a diagnostic

I honestly felt discouraged, and I didn’t know who to trust.
Then I went ahead and took it to Managal Motors, because I remember having a good experience with my rotors getting replaced a few years ago.

I called in, I dropped my car off the day of. I was told that they were going to run another diagnostic (3) and that it would take some time to find out the issue of the car. They called for questions about it before working on it, plus called in again to let me know what they were doing, and what he thought the issue might be, and then I got a text of a receipt & a call it was ready. I dropped it off before their shopped closed on a Tuesday, and got the car back on Monday (they had it fixed less then a week!)

I haven’t had any issues with the engine turning off, or no spooky lights turning on by itself since & I was also told about my bad ties in front. (Which I did know about, I had my back tires changed, and I was working towards the front… anyway) I felt like they actually took the time out to find out what was wrong w/ my car, & kept in communication, and my car wasn’t even with them for a whole week.

I’m not sorry for the long review, I’ve been really frustrated with the lost of money, time and lack of communication and trust. I’m so thankful that my car is back up n running. THANK YOU MANGALE MOTORS! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Ps. I had some burnt wires (from a car accident) that needed to be replaced, and the total cost was $537.69
Which includes a diagnostic, parts, & labor.
