Text - I am so impressed with Michael's Collision! My car looks brand new after an altercation with a giant yellow pole. From beginning to end, their customer service was impeccable!  I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Text - Once upon a time, I came here and had some work done on my engine.  I was young, and they seemed to have done a great job--I mean, my car has been running smoothly for a few years since so I think that that's Pretty Darn Great.\n\nSo naturally, when I had a problem with my transmission, I wanted to go someplace I felt comfortable, safe, and secure.  Back to the All-Girl's shop I really liked.\n\nI brought it in, and explained what was going on, and they said they would need it over night--I ended up leaving my car there over the entire weekend (my choice).  On Monday I called them for a status update (she said she left a voicemail, but I never received one) and they said \""well you need a new clutch\"" and that they'd have to do a tranny flush on my *standard* transmission.  (Which would be $242, btw.)  This whole thing would cost me ~1200 if I needed a new fly wheel, and ~1000 if I didn't.\n\nLuckily, I have an amazing boyfriend that heard this and smelled rotten fish.  He pointed out that not only is $242 astronomically high for a transmission flush, but that you also don't flush standard/manual transmissions! \"" They also shouldn't've even been talking to you about a flush yet if they don't even know what's going on with the transmission since they haven't taken it apart yet,\"" he added.  He called them, and said that it sounded like they had NO idea what was going on.\n\nAfter he got off of the phone with them, guess who rang me!  Yep, 180 Auto.  \""Sorry, I am so sorry.  I was miseducated, you don't need a flush as you have a manual transmission.  It'll be only $60 to drain and refill it.\"" she said.  My boyfriend says all you do is open two nozzles and refill--again super costly.\n\nThese people seem to be making money off the fact that they're an All-Girl's garage which makes us feel safe and secure there--shit, sure worked on me!  In reality they are making money hand over fist.  Not to mention, when I picked up my car, my clutch was now SUPER soft.  I can tell you it wasn't that way when I dropped it off! :[\n\nBy the way, I took my car into another mechanic who did what 180 Auto *should* have done--they took apart my linkage and actually diagnosed the problem.  \""We pulled off the linkage since it only took a minute or two to take a good look,\"" he said.  Turns out I had 4 broken engine mounts that caused my engine to rest on my clutch linkage so instead of needing a new clutch, all I need now is to replace the linkage... and *possibly*/likely a new clutch now.  He said they don't know what's going on with the transmission and won't until they take it apart, but that's to be expected. Bottom line?  ~1300 for mounts, transmission, and clutch.  Not ~1200 for only a clutch.\n\ntl;dr: I will never, ever be referring anyone to 180 Auto again as they couldn't diagnose a simple tranny/clutch problem, insisted I needed something else much more costly which it turned out they were only just guessing in the dark at, and they further injured my poor clutch... and I certainly won't be going there myself.  (duh.)

Text - The real cheesecake factory is in my kitchen, just so you know. We had to stifle a sneer when the waiter tried to push dessert on us. I have had their cheesecake before this, and it just isn't very good.\n\nWe are also huge fans of The Big Bang Theory, and since Penny works there, and Sheldon will actually eat there, how bad could it be? Analysis: not *bad*, just decidedly mediocre.\n\nI had the fish and chips. The fish was bland and overcooked, and the fries were pretty terrible. The zucchini small plate/app we had was flavorful and the zucchini was not fried to mush. The ranch it came with had a nice garlic zing to it. Hubby had the veggie quesadilla (a breakfast item, technically) and described it as \""fine\"" but otherwise unremarkable.\n\nSorry, Penny. I hope your salary on the show increases due to the heavy product placement fees that CF must be paying, but we won't be back.

Text - Great venue to see a concert!!!\n\nI have never been to MIM ....heard great things about the actual museum, but did not realized they had a concert hall.  I am a new fan of Spencer Day...just happen to look on his website and holy moly coming to PHX.  I would not of pick a better venue to see him or any intimate concert.  The whole setup of the concert hall is awesome.  Every seat in the house is a great seat and the acoustics in the hall is unbelievable.  Spencer had a 3 piece band including a drummer and the quality of the sound was amazing. \n\nOne last final touch....Spencer came out after the concert to sign his CD's and talked with everyone who waited for him.  Having the MIM sponsor such an event was great.  I will come back and check out the museum.  This will be one of my favorite concert venues in the future.  I would recommend signing up for their concert info hopefully one of your favorite artist will perform and you too can have a great experience.
