Don Houghton Automotive

PENDING MODERATION I took my Toyota Prado diesel to Don Houghton Auto for a pink slip inspection and a noisy fan belt, after a recommendation from my spray painter. Don quickly identified the fan belt was fine and pointed out what was likely causing the noise. He immediately inspected the car and identified a faulty window washer (that I was aware of but hadn\'t mentioned) and the possibility of worn rear brakes pads. He offered to fix the washer and take a closer look at the brakes if I left the car for a few hours. I couldnt wait but agreed to come back in two days. I liked the fact he didnt just replace the fan belt but pointed out the likely problem. When I brought the car back I asked him to do a scheduled service too. He fixed the washer pump, completed the service and sorted out the noise problem all same day and completed ahead of time. After inspection he said the brakes were OK, so I didnt need to change the pads yet, which obviously saved me $$$. The overall price was a pleasant surprise and the car had a noticable performance improvement from the service. Its been a long time since I have left an auto service so happy. I can definitely recommend Don and his team. Friendly too!
