            We had our brakes done on our For F150 about the end of February 2024. We have problems ever since. First the brake fluid was low. Took it back and they said a line was attached wrong and fixed it. Drove off only to lose brakes. Took right back and they had forgotten to bleed the lines. Next week oil change at dealer. Asked them to review breaks cause the low fluid was coming on again only to find out lines were all bad and it will cost us $350 to fix. After paying Tuffy $1750for brake job. Very disappointing. Will be attempting to be reimbursed for the $350 and will never take a vehicle there again.

            Took in my 2012 VW CC when it would not start. Was told they found "fluid" in two of the cylinders and "a bunch of code errors" and this would require changing the engine out. The price I was quoted was $13,000 for a rebuilt engine! Then I was told the owner has an Audi they are selling for $6,000. Very unprofessional communication and they charged $150 per hour for diagnostics but didn't even tell me a complete breakdown of the issues found. On top of that I used the tow service that they recommended and it was $120 to tow it 4.4 miles. Definitely seems like they are getting some kickbacks. Not recommended.
