Paid them $178 to let me know they charged my battery and didn’t know what was wrong….. I could have sent it anywhere for that but I believed these reviews. Wanted to charge me an extra $900 to do a engine test after. I towed it after they just said oh it’s gonna cost 10k. I understand labor but almost $200 to charge a battery is just stupid. And I got no where. It was a waste

This is my 4th or 5th vehicle over the past 20 years that I have been satisfied with the services of Magic Mechanic. Two of the vehicles were Jaguars & they are not the easiest to work on.

Was told the mechanic looked at the air filter and concluded it did not need replacing. After leaving, it was immediately replaced after seeing the dirt, twigs, and bugs accumulated in the air filter. It was dark brown. I requested that all liquids be looked at for possible replacing. No mechanic comments were entered on the paperwork regarding any liquids. It was disappointing and below what my expectations were for magic mechanic. I assume both the air filter and all liquids besides motor oil were ignored as the mechanic was busy and this made the experience not positive for me. My prior visits are beyond a dozen in count, and the biggest work done on my vehicle was replacing the transmission and the AC. I think my expectations for quality of service have become too high.

The Magic Mechanic Inc. | Sep 19, 2019

A 15-W-40 Amsoil is whats recommended for that engine" If its a new engine put 5000 miles on it with conventional oil like Shell Rotella for brake in first before installing Amsoil Synthetic"

I'm pretty sure they do charge, but seems reasonable if they are doing work. They seem very professional and don't up-sell customers, in my experience, so I'd go there again.

I have a 2006 Ford F-150 5.4L that I want to have a complete timing service done. I only want OEM parts except for the oil pump. I want a Melling M360HV High Volume Oil Pump installed. Can you do that and how long would it take?

Ralph Cencebaugh | Sep 18, 2020
Jolanta UAH | Sep 18, 2020

Yes, you can .Timing service has nothing to do with oil pump. Timing service is about 4hrs. Pump is inside oil pan. That requires engine to be removed. If you have a good oil pressure, there's no need to change the oil pump.

I think it was 2 Saturdays ago, somebody called with a question about ??? that cost $300 to fix, you fix at least 3 of them a week, and they happen on Hyundais and Kias. I thought it had something to do with the steering?

p s | Sep 19, 2019
The Magic Mechanic Inc. | Sep 19, 2019

Its a bushing in the steering column that fails and causes steering wheel play and a clicking noise every-time you turn the wheel, this is a very common issue on Hyundai's and Kia's and we make these repairs sometimes 3 or more a week"

Transmission may be in limp mode, a scan of the computer system may indicate a code that would need investigated to diagnose the problem. Several things can cause a limp mode issue since this is a electronic shifted transmission anything from the connection at the transmission to a shift solenoid, pressure switch, position sensor, low fluid condition, computer, to even a worn or broken part can all cause this issue'

My Nissan dealership just changed my oil and switch my car from a 5w30 to Mobil 1 synthetic oil. I have 90,000 miles on the car 2011. Will this be good or bad for my engine ?

Donald | Sep 19, 2019
The Magic Mechanic Inc. | Sep 19, 2019

I think what your asking is the dealer removed your 5-W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic and installed their 0 or 5-W-20 bulk oil! If this was one of those discount oil change specials you should not expect a high dollar oil to be included during the service" Mobil 1 can exceed $7.00 a quart and Amsoil Synthetic can exceed $14.00 a quart so when you can have a oil cost of $80.00 to $100.00 without the filter you shouldn't expect top tier synthetic oils to be included with a $36.95 oil change special!

My 2011 Sonata has 133,000 miles on it. Mechanic said if I drain transmission fluid at this mileage I have a 50/50 chance of having problems down the road. Never had it changed before this. Could this happen?

Bonnie Coburn | Sep 19, 2019
The Magic Mechanic Inc. | Sep 19, 2019

Doubtful but anything is possible" Bonnie its like this if you never change the fluid we know what will eventually happen! The fluid will get so thick it cannot be pumped and the acid in the fluid will start eating up parts" Regardless its still in your best interest to change the fluid"

The Magic Mechanic Inc. | Sep 19, 2019

Bruce type the words (2015 Hyundai Tucson oil consumption) into any search engine its full of consumer complaints concerning the same issue your dealing with, seems most complaints start at around 34,000 to 40,000 miles and most are averaging loosing 1 quart around every 1000 miles, biggest problem seems Hyundai's excepts this as NORMAL! I suggest make a local dealer aware of the issue and see if their willing to do anything about it, Trust me you wont be the first! Good Luck"

Ed we would need to look at it, the noise is most likely a dry ball joint in some cases we can inject grease into the boot with a grease needle and extend the life of the joints as long as theirs no play in the joints" If the boots are dry rotted and wont hold grease they will need replaced, stop by and we will let you know what were dealing with Larry

Hey fellow hillbilly sorry (Appalachian American) Take it back to the shop that did the brakes and tell they they can have their pads back your not going to live with the squeaks and squeals for the next 45,000 miles! Tell them to put NAPA ADAPTIVE ONE brake pads on the van and your willing to pay the extra for the pads" These truly are a no squeak no squeal no dirty wheel brake pad!

The Magic Mechanic Inc. | Sep 19, 2018

If its the RED brake light it illuminates when the E-brake is applied or theirs air in the brake system, If air enters the brake system theirs most likely a leak" It may be worth loosening the master cylinder bolts and inspecting the rear of the cylinder for any dampness if its dry reinstall it and inspect the brake lines, abs module and calipers for any signs of leakage"

You can try AutoZone or Advance Auto store. If they don't have it then you go to a dealer go to the auto parts section and ask for the spark plug there. Hope that helps. Good luck

2008 honda fit battery died, took back to Advanced auto and they did 10 minute quick charge and only got back to 319 cold cranking amps and 340 is rate. Inside 36 month free replacement but said woul not qualify. Chsrging system is good

James a lower cranking amp display is normal they all wont read the exact CCA, Unfortunately their right if the battery takes and holds a charge the battery isn't at fault its most likely not getting charged properly or theirs a draw when the vehicle is off and draining the battery.

Joe Pickett | Sep 19, 2018
The Magic Mechanic Inc. | Sep 19, 2018

Try having a de-carbon service performed" Carbon left over from your fuel gets trapped in combustion chambers and the pistons will actually hit the carbon and make noise, after it warms up in many cases the noise will go away, A leaking lifter can also cause the noise" Lifters are hydraulic and filled with engine oil, to keep the oil in the lifter they use a spring loaded ball to act as a one way valve, if any debris get into the sealing area of the check ball it will allow the lifter to bleed down and make noise during restart until the lifter pumps back up, If this is the case a engine flush before the next engine oil service would be recommended worse case it may need a new lifter.
