Eric's Review

Hillsborough, CA
We went here to do a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) for a Volkswagen Jetta. I didn't know what to expect, Quality Tune-Up being a franchise/chain. I was more than pleasantly surprised. I worked with Mark, the owner, and Mike, one of the employees.
As a self-described "gear head", I appreciated the depth and detail of their inspection. In fact, they discovered that the alternator output was low (12.5 volt), which was still high enough that it didn't trigger an OBD-II computer error or dashboard warning, but at 12.5V was going to slowly drain the battery over a matter of months, while the alternator died a slow death. The seller confirmed the alternator problem, and we agreed on how to correct the problem (seller replaced the alternator, $800 parts and labor). We purchased the car, and the $100 PPI was money well spent.
As it turns out, Mark was one of the first Quality Tune-Up franchisees, and has owned this shop 35 years. He really gives the impression that he enjoys the work and enjoys serving his customers.
