An absolute lying crook, he worked on my daughter's Yukon, first he lied about what repairs where made and then refused to do anything about it when the engine failed due to shotty work read more

This place has the worst service as in the office the man cussed my wife out which is unprofessional then boxed our van in when we came back to get it after declining their little money scam I'd take your car somewhere else it ain't worth it read more

I called on a Tues and was told to bring my car in that following Wed. I told the man on the phone my car make and model and the issues I was having with the check engine light coming on, and also asked if it was OK to drop it off at 8am instead of 9 bc I had to be at work. The man said that was fine. Fast foward a week to Wed morning. I leave my car outside the gate at ten til 8 so I could be at work on time. I called them at 230 pm to ask if they knew what was wrong with my car. The man I spoke with told me he didn't know why the car was left there but then asked me my name and phone number and what issues it was having. So I said it hasn't been checked then?" The man then got an attitude and said he talks 240 to 50 people a day and has no way of knowing why the car is there . My reply to that was why would you tell me to bring it and drop it off and not write it down . So not only did he waste my entire day by keeping my car but I waited a full week for it to be looked at. He asked me why I didn't call to let him know why it was there and I said I already did the week before and I did exactly what he told me to do by dropping it off . He said that he didn't open until 9:00 and that it's not his fault that I had to be at work . And I replied which is why I told you when I spoke to you last week that I would be dropping it off at 8:00 because I had to be at work and you said that was fine . Since it was obvious to me by then that this man is obviously not a professional and does not care whether he does somebody right or not or keeps his word I hung up and went to get my car . When I got to Appalachian I requested to speak to the owner and the man that I was on the phone with happened to be him . I told him that I had just spoke with him on the phone and he said that he remembered who I was after he got off the phone with me and remembered speaking to me the previous week . Before I could say anything else The Man became hostile and demanded to know why I didn't call him and let him know my car was there . This of course blows my mind because I did call him and I followed his instructions about leaving my car. He said that I didn't give him a name or a phone number or anything else and I said you never asked me for a name or a phone number you asked for the make and model of my car and if you had done your job you would have wrote it down and then when you seen that that car was outside your gate you would have looked at it like you said you were going to! His attitude towards me was very condescending and belittling and by then I'd had enough . I told him thank you for wasting my time making me wait a week and keeping my car all day when I could have already had it looked at somewhere else , a professional , who cared about his customers and whether or not he did them right and did good business. He then told me that he was done arguing with me and that I could leave. So I said you are a terrible businessman and quite frankly and asshole and I will tell everyone that I can about how you run your business and how you treat people and potential customers. He then called me a bitch and told me he had better things to do than to argue with me about this . Since I am a woman who values keeping her word I'm leaving this review on this man , I think his name is Ivan , who says he's the owner of Appalachian Auto Repair , to let people know just how he does run his business and how he treats a potential customer he is hands down the worst mechanic /owner I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with I wish it were possible to give him negative Stars read more

This place is a joke,can't work on AC at all! Blows cold on one side and warm on the other. Go back to shop to show Ivan! He gets in vehicle put his hand to the vents and says. " what's the problem. Your mot going to get it fucking perfect " Well sir for the money you charge it should be.as close as possible. Oh and the next time you pull a club on someone your liable to get hurt with said club. read more

I went to pick up car from this mechanic name ivan after overpaying this mechanic we get down the about 4miles and the quit on us so we called he wanted us to bring car back I told him it wont start I don't know if he cant hear good but he had a really bad attitude and has a ugly tongue. This is a poor excuse of a business I wouldn't let him check the air in my tires with the way he talked to me on the phone . Will not recommend this shop to anyone.. I would much rather drive a extra 50 miles to a respectful mechanic than to hear his excuses and his bad attitude and then smile in my face take my money and then talk to me like a dog instead of a paying customer.. This is a unhappy customer and not ashamed to say. read more

Thank you Ivan for your honesty, attention to detail and fair prices for both of the vehicles we recently brought in. After being seriously scammed by 2 local dealership service departments, we appreciated the great service you provided. Thank you again! read more

I highly recommend Appalachian Auto Repair. Ivan is very knowledgable and reliable. His prices are fair and he never tries to upsell you. He stays very busy because his reputation is so good but nevertheless he maintains quick turnaround. My family has been taking our cars to him for at least 10 years now and we've never been disappointed like we had been before we found Ivan. read more
