In Dec 2009 I took my vehicle to this shop for repair. After completion I was charged $150 and told that I needed a $250 induction cleaning. I declined and after some research found that this could be done for approximately $10. My vehicle continued to run poorly for months but I had lost trust in Auto Xtreme so I did not return. Finally another auto repair shop found the problem - Auto Extreme had fraudently attached a small piece of heater hose in place of the agreed upon pcv hose assembly. The heater hose had failed and caused a large vacuum leak destroying my fuel pump in the process. The fuel pump repair then cost $650. Auto Xtreme is a xtreme SCAM.

GREAT SHOP -- HONEST PEOPLE

AUTHOR: Byrl - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 28, 2012

There is ALWAYS two sides to every story!!

As far as our experience with Auto Xtreme it was awesome!

We have a 37' Class A motorhome that broke down in Destin, FL at 2:30am.  A mechanic took a look at it, and said it was our transmission, and wanted us to tow it to his shop.  However, we have a friend of ours who knew Glen, the owner of Auto Xtreme, and he suggested that we call them instead.  So, we had the RV towed to Gulf Breeze, FL, and parked it in front of our friends house.  It was a Sunday so we couldn't do anything with it then, but 1st thing Monday morning, we were going to have it towed to a transmission shop.  Instead, our friend called Glenn, and Glenn said to hold off, and that he would bring one of his mechanics out to our RV to take a look at it.

Within an hour we were back on the road again.  Glenn and his mechanic found the problem.  We even asked what we owed him, and he said not to worry about it ... we paid him something anyway, but that shows the integrity, and quality that Auto Xtreme gives.

Oh, and Auto Xtreme also has a tow company, and they could have insisted that we spend another $600 to tow it to their shop, but instead they came to us. 

So before you believe the first person you hear, you need to get the other 1/2 of the story FIRST! 

Thank You, Glenn, and all the crew at Auto Xtreme!
From Byrl and Kathy Peck -- another satisfied customer!

THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE

AUTHOR: SAM - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, September 26, 2010

This guy is crazy...First your idea that an intake induction cleaning can be done for ten bucks is CRAZY!!!  An intake induction cleaning is more than just pouring a can of conditioner in the tank.  As far as a vacuum leak causing a fuel pump, which is an electrical component located INSIDE the fuel tank, is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE.  The 2 systems are TOTALLY unrelated. 
Now that I got that out of the way, I took my Truck into Auto Xtreme, after it had been to 6 other local repair facilities, including 3 dealers, for a prob that I have been having for almost a month & have spent $1200 on trying to get fixed.  They located the problem within an hour & had it fixed for under $100.  I MUST SAY THAT I AM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BY THEIR HONESTY & SERVICE!!!   KUDOS TO AUTO XTREME.
**AS FAR AS THIS OTHER GUY GOES...SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HE GOT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY THE SHOP THAT SOLD HIM A FUEL PUMP.

ummm---i do not see how a pcv valve leak will destroy a fuel pump!!---i do give you credit for the 250$ induction cleaning--ths is very high--most shops charge like 130$ for it---the ones for 10$ are what you buy at the store and just put in your gas tank--when you go to a shop--they put the s**t in your gas tank, clean the throttle(if possible), and run the juice through the intake manifold through the brake booster vacuum hose(this takes 20 minutes)---usually pcv hoses are just regular heater hoses and subject to break
