Maven Mechanics

Edited only because I wanted to give more details once I had time to write something out. Basically, went to get an alignment on my car and was told I needed both control arms, ball joints, tires, and lug nuts replaced before I could have that done. Needless to say, the price was steeper than I'd like, and I decided to get a second opinion. Reviews were good for Maven Mechanics so I gave them a call, and their quote was significantly cheaper for the control arm repairs. I'd need to go elsewhere for tires, but that was expected (and I definitely do need new tires). I also learned they are mobile, meaning they could come to my house or work to do the repairs, which was honestly so nice. Day of my appointment came and I was told that, unfortunately, they only had one of the 2 parts. My one complaint would be that I wasn't told this beforehand, but I also understand that it wasn't their fault. The buyer had sold it when they shouldn't have. I asked him to take a look and see if I even needed the other one replaced, and thankfully the control arm he had (driver's side) was the worse one, and I was told I likely won't need to get the other side replaced anyway. So that brought the price down even more, and after just driving it home it's safe to say I am very happy with my experience overall. I'll update this once I've got the new tires and alignment done tomorrow, but at this moment in time, I would definitely recommend. They were quick and gave me an honest assessment of my car (which I was missing from the other place). Also, the part has a lifetime warranty, which I was very happy about as well.
