Hi all,

 Has anyone used Hedding Auto Repair?  I am having some car problems and thought I would try them out since they advertise in the Sunburst but I would like to know of any past experiences with them.

thanks,

Since I never heard from anyone, I thought I would go ahead and post an update.  I took my car in to Hedding Auto and actually spoke with Joe Hedding, one of the owners.  I explained the problems I was having and what I thought was causing it based on my review of the service manual.  He seemed very knowledgable about what could be causing my problem and said they would take a look at it and let me know.  A couple of days later he called and told me what was wrong and gave me an estimate of what it would cost, parts and labor, to fix it.  The price seemed reasonable, about what I was expecting, since it required replacement of the fuel pump, screen, filter and the oil pressure switch, especially compared to what the Buick house would have charged me.  I authorized them to go ahead with the repairs and they had it done about three days later.  There was only about a $50 difference between the final bill and the estimate.  I don't know if this amount of time is normal for a repair of this nature from them since I had specifically told them I was in no hurry (I was on vacation the week they worked on it).  All in all, a good experience.  I have had no problems with my car for the problems I had them work on.  I would recommend them but suggest that you ask how long they think the investigation and repair will take.

Re Hedding Automotive:

We have used Hedding Auto during the past several years. We have always had good experience with them. Polite, knowledgable, informative, timely and reasonably priced.

Glad you also had a good experience.
