Simi Valley's best choice for Acura repair and service since 1980.
I had a very negative experience with this repair shop. The shop diagnosed my car with a broken air fuel ratio sensor. This appeared to me to be the same thing as an oxygen sensor. The mechanic denied it was the same thing (and that was the reason the cost he quoted was so high). I called a different mechanic in the area and did not mention anything from the conversation with the Schnieder's mechanic. The other mechanic verified that the air fuel sensor is the same thing as the oxygen sensor and validated what I had found, which is that there are two such sensors in the car, either one with a cost lower than what the Schneider's mechanic quoted. Then the Schneider's mechanic charged $130 to run the diagnostic. While I hear mechanics often charge for a diagnostic, I've never actually been charged in the past (even when no work on the car was required) and $130 seems very steep.
