Great People, Great Service – I have used Demo's for over 30 years for everything from routine maintenance to body work In my experience , the service reflects a family-owned business with their name on the door. I have always gotten excellent service and advice - including not to spend money on some repairs on an over -accessorized car! I know that the same people will be there to help me who really know me and my car. I have found the charges to be reasonable and the turnaround excellent. What more can you ask for from an ... read more
Dependable with a capital D – I moved here 3 years ago from Southern California with a 1994 Mercedes E320 and a 2003 BMW 328ci and have gotten superb service at really reasonable costs for both cars at Demo’s. Once when my wife was out of town, I took in her BMW because the check engine light came on. They kept the car for three days, driving it each day to make sure the problem was simply with the warning light itself. When I went to pick it up, there was no charge! That would have made the news in L.A.
Not Trustworthy – After being rear-ended I took my shop to Demo's as suggested by my insurance. At drop off, they seemed very annoyed that I was even there, but I did not pay too much attention to it considering it was early Monday morning. We all know how Mondays are. The repair work was done very quickly and they called me on Wednesday so I could pick up my car. After some discrepancies with what I thought was trunk damage, I signed my ticket and was on my way. (I thought I saw what looked like "buckling" in my trunk but t... read more
Complete rip-off – This place charges way too much for labor. I had my spark plug wires replaced and after I paid $240 in labor and diagnostic fees, I called three other mechanics and asked them what they would charge. They all quoted me at about $100 less than what Demo charged. I was ripped off! DO NOT GO HERE!!! They get away with charging this much b/c they're located in West U. and people will pay it without realizing it.
Bad Attitude and poor attention to detail – Took my car there for an inspection at the request of a potential buyer. First impressions count and the guy who greeted me was rude off the bat. His name was BJ. I guess I annoyed him right away for just showing up. Several hours later when I picked up my car with greasy hand prints on the interior including a few on the fabric headliner which were a challenge to get out without marring the material. Also, some white crud on the carpet from shoes. Then on the way home I smelled ra... read more
An honest neighborhood mechanic. You will be pleased you came. – I came to find Demo's as a Rice student and continue to use it 5 years after my first service there. From routine diagnostics to installation of a new battery to transmission work, their service has been expedient, well-executed and fairly-priced. This is the first car shop I've found where the mechanics take the time to thoroughly explain their work and lay out all of your options plainly so that you can decide what needs to be done now, and what can wait unti... read more
Kept car way too long – They had our car for over two weeks. When we got the estimate, I told them that I absolutely needed it back by the following thursday because I had an out of town meeting and was leaving to drive back to the Midwest. Today is when I should have my car back and they are still dragging their feet; it's been two full weeks.
Avoid this shop at all cost: Poor work and bad customer service – Demo's was recommended as one of my insurance comapny's approved shops and I took my vehicle there after it was damaged in a theft. To replace a broken window and the steering column it took them almost a month, and all the while leaving me without a vehicle. After finally getting my car back, I never wanted to return to this shop again, but their poor work has kept me returning over and over to fix problems with their craftsmanship. My vehicle has never been ... read more
Complete rip off – I paid $155 for a battery they said would last me 6 years. 18 months later it died. I took it in to get a replacement. The prorated rate of the battery came out to under $40, but with their labor, it was over $80. Thus, I spent $235 for a battery that will probably die again in a year. Go to Walmart or Discount Tire and Battery. Do not go to Demo's. They are a money pit.
