Last year, when I came here for an inspection, was told I needed two new tires. I was skeptical,…read morebut I replaced the two tires and passed my inspection. This year, they said I needed two new tires again in addition to a $500 brake fix. Everything would have cost approximately $1,000 so I just left. Today, I went to another repair shop where I paid $37 and passed my inspection. The other shop didn't notice any tire or brake problems. I drive about 4,000 miles a year locally. I never have any warning lights, engine check lights, or any other issues with my car. Beware if you go here and they tell you this and that needs to be replaced. Get a second opinion before you spend hundreds of dollars.

Before bringing my car in, I spoke with Daniel and explained that my car alarm had been going off randomly. I asked if they had a diagnostic scanner, and he said yes. I was surprised when I asked about the diagnostic fee and he told me it was free. Most auto repair shops and dealerships I have dealt with charge for diagnostics, so I truly appreciated his honesty and generosity. Daniel was also very friendly and asked for my name during our phone conversation. When I made the appointment, I let him know that my husband would be bringing the car in. When my husband arrived at the shop, Daniel remembered my name, which was such a nice personal touch and showed how much he genuinely cares about his customers. It took about 90 minutes to diagnose the problem, and they found that a loose latch on the driver's side was causing the issue. They tightened the latch, and when my husband asked how much we owed, Daniel told him there was no charge. We were both completely surprised and incredibly grateful! Daniel was friendly, professional, honest, and provided outstanding customer service from beginning to end. Auto repair shops like this are hard to find, especially ones that don't try to make a quick dollar off every customer. Essential Auto Care has earned my trust and my highest recommendation. Thank you so much, Daniel, for helping us solve the mysterious problem with our car alarm that kept going off randomly. I truly appreciate your kindness and honesty. If you are looking for a trustworthy and customer-focused auto repair shop, I highly recommend Essential Auto Care. You won't regret coming here!

I came here with an A/C issue -- warm air, no cooling. They…read moredidn't confirm what the actual problem was but went straight to performing a refrigerant recharge for $235.86, without checking whether the system could function properly. I mentioned that the system had pressure, but no one explained that a recharge wouldn't help if the compressor wasn't working. As a customer, I didn't know the compressor status -- that's what I expected them to diagnose first. After taking payment and completing the recharge (which didn't solve the problem), they told me I had a refrigerant leak. But how was that diagnosed? With the compressor not engaging, there was no circulation, no dye test, no vacuum hold -- just a guess after the fact. They later explained that the recharge was done "to see if the compressor would engage" -- but I had already told them there was pressure in the system. Skipping basic electrical tests and charging for a recharge first is not professional diagnosis. What I received was uninformed consent: I agreed to a recharge without being told it was unlikely to help unless the compressor was working. As a customer, I relied on their expertise to guide the process -- but they failed to explain this critical limitation. I wasn't given a service report or receipt during the visit -- both were sent the next day, after I posted a review. Their mention of a refrigerant leak was never documented, and no leak detection tests were performed. It felt like an after-the-fact explanation when the recharge didn't solve the problem. Their process seems designed to create more work (and more charges) instead of solving the actual problem from the start. Rather than diagnose the issue first, they sold a service that couldn't fix the underlying fault -- leading to more expensive steps later. Professional mechanics explain what they are doing and why. In this case, I paid for a service that couldn't address the actual issue, and was told I'd need to pay again for proper diagnostics. If your A/C isn't working, ask exactly what they'll check before you agree to anything. I won't be coming back.

The team conducted a thorough analysis and presented me with clear repair options, explaining exactly what needed to be done without overselling unnecessary services. I had the brake line and front pads replaced. Mickey handled my case and was exceptionally professional throughout the process - he kept me informed, answered my questions thoroughly, and made sure I understood the work being performed. The staff was courteous and efficient when I picked up my vehicle. Main Street Auto demonstrated the kind of straightforward, honest service that's becoming harder to find. Their work was completed as promised, and I felt confident in both the quality of the repairs and the fair pricing. I would recommend them to others seeking reliable automotive service.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
