I went in for an oil change and was asked if I used synthetic oil, to which I replied "yes." When I came back later I was told it was all done, but I noticed once I got home that they switched me to synthetic blend which, online, usually costs half as much as full synthetic. On top of that, they ended up charging me $10.99 a quart when the synthetic blend they used only cost $3.29 on sale on the NAPA store online and $6.99 regularly. While I can understand not receiving the sale price, I'm still not sure why there is a 57% upcharge when the oil is still coming from the NAPA Autoparts store as well. When I went in to talk to them, I was told that they are "unable to get those prices. And that if I want to I can bring in my own oil" and they would just charge me the $35 for the oil change. If i had known that the oil they used was going to be so grossly overcharged, I would have done that. They also told me that they switched to the synthetic blend because that is what the manufacturer recommends, but I wasn't told of this beforehand. They gave me a quote beforehand of $125 which I knew was a lot, but for full synthetic, I didn't think it was too overpriced. Overall, everyone was nice, but I think the upcharging that people note in their reviews is very apparent after my visit

Exceptional service! Honda. where I purchased my Element and who had serviced it for 17 years and with only 100K miles, told me to scrap my car when I took it in for a noisy rear wheel. I must have 25 inspection reports from them and BAM, worthless car. Genin's is taking time and really helping me! Their is a reason they have a good reputation!

Exceptional service and care by the Genin’s staff. I had an absolute nightmare of a time with my insurance getting repairs covered and Genin’s staff thoughtfully and carefully walked me through it for over a month. This is not just another repair shop. This is the best care you and your car will get in Madison.

Quick and easy experience. I call day before and got in next day. I need rewiring of headlights. Lady told me estimate and payment was only 30$ more than anticipated. Would go here again.

This shop chooses to overcharge in exchange for a large service department and great location. I have always been told that you can pick two out of three in terms of service, quality, and price, but $500 in part costs when an OEM part directly from a dealership is $230 is a step too far. If you can spend above dealership prices for the convenience then go for it, just don't expect free inspections, low labor costs, or reasonable part costs.

Not only were each of the people we talked to unpleasant they are crooks . Along a $200 minimum diagnosis they asked $350 to install a new battery. I purchased a battery for $130 and installed it in their parking lot in 5 mins.

The GMC arrived by tow truck. Service was authorized by Kristen K. A full explanation of the service provided was delivered by phone to Justin. And printed on the Invoice. Mr Bown choice to remove his vehicle and replace the battery himself. Nothing usual happened in this transaction.
