BMW328XI: Estimated price for repairs was on point. Great experience. :-) Thanks for being a professional repair center.

My 2006 Lexus IS250 quit running and I had it towed to Worldwide as I had no other option. After a few days, they told me that the exhaust camshaft was not moving, timing chain was broken, excessive leakage in cylinder #2, #4, #6 and that major engine damage has occurred. Recommend engine replacement. My car has less than 96,000 miles on it, so for only $6,600, they would replace the engine with a used engine with 91,000 miles on it and give me a 12,000 or 1 year warranty. A relative after hearing my problem, recommended another mechanic so I had it towed to that company. Worldwide charged me $380 for nothing. After checking my car out, the new mechanic told me that there was no engine damage and the only problem was that the timing chain was broken. After only $1026, my car is running like new!

World Wide Automotive is great in terms of professionalism, ambiance, and making the customer feel comfortable. However, I just can't get past their costs for services. The inspection fee was much higher than I was used to (which was ok given that I had some serious issues with my truck). Then when they came back, their price was way beyond acceptable for the services rendered, and their analysis was weak. I would go on with specifics, but this is just a brief review. My experience was that for their services, the price was way more than it should have been. My advice is to keep shopping around, especially if the price seems off base.

I have yet to have a negative experience with World Wide, and I have been using them for many years, and through several cars. The service is timely and the price is always fair -- more importantly, the feedback you get is always honest and thoughtful. I remember the time Don told me, "Let's put it this way. This doesn't need to get fixed right away, but I wouldn't let my daughter drive it out of town either!" That is the kind of information you really need when you are in a tight financial situation. PS I love the green business, too!!!
