You were just pissed off while you were tailgating me I put the stinger down so if your non driving self were to hit me me you could do too much damage to my truck. You should learn not to mess with people that have dash cams also because if it's still on the memory card I'll post exactly how you were driving. Steve, message me with an apology and I will remove this entire review. I don't like being angry, pissy, and mean like this, but the audacity to respond to me with a threat, denial, and doubling down is incredible to do as a business owner.

Now, she has another set of keys so my sister April Hatcher came over to assist her in finding them. We head off to our store, but first, stop at Wawa for coffee and donuts. Once inside, we are approached by a frantic young mom who has also locked her keys, wallet, phone and 3month and 11 month old children in the car. It is swelteringly hot. The 3 month old is screaming and sweating, the 11 month old is sweating, but content with his tablet. We try to coerce the older child to try to unlock the doors. He says "nope". After a minute of coercing and threats, he attempts to release himself from the carseat, but cannot. Our ex neighbor Will and I try to coach the windows down, to no avail. We call 911 and rescue is dispatched. We want to break the windows but we were directed not to since rescue was on the way and the glass may harm the children (smh). 10 minutes or so has lapsed. I just happen to turn my head towards the street and see a tow truck. I frantically wave them down. Now, they could have easily continued, but they made a u turn and came back to see if we were in need. Once they arrived, I immediately told them that there was a 3 month old and 11 month old child in a locked unheated vehicle. @Anything Automotive & More sprung into action immediately and was able to quickly open the door with no damage to the vehicle. They refused payment and were off on their way before rescue was anywhere in sight. The children are fine. My mom also was able to get into her car. Shouts out to them. If you are in need of Anything Automotive (including towing and locked doors) give them a call! Thanks again guys!

They charged me $30 to look at t and provided an a free vehicle look over on other things. They let me know that it was indeed leaking and found an additional leak. They sent me a quote and I was flabbergasted at the price. The first original leak repair was quoted for $2,700. They did find another leak that would cost me an additional $1500 to repair . Way more than I was planning. I talked to a gearhead at my work and he said absolutely do not pay that. He said they do this to women, unfortunately. I talked to two other local shops who quoted me for everything on the original repair for $800 and $1100. Those quotes were for everything 17th Street was going to do for $2,700. I hate that companies do this. The icing on the cake was that when I drove my car home, I popped the hood and they didn't even attach the cover to the motor. It was just laying cockeyed on the top. It makes me question what else they didn't reinstall after looking over my car.

Completely unacceptable, frustrating experience…read more I paid $1,338 for front brakes and calipers, and within six months I was still having braking issues. When I returned, they replaced only one front rotor under warranty. After a third visit for the same braking noise/vibration, I was told the problem was my rear brakes, even though those had been replaced only three months earlier at another shop. I then went to three independent shops, and all confirmed the real issue was a warped front rotor (the one not replaced the second time I brought it in). This should've been fixed the second or third time I brought it in. Instead they shifted blame to another shop, in which their work was confirmed to be fine. And for the price I paid, I shouldn't have had to bring it in multiple times for the same issue. Still after three visits and over $1,300 spent, my issue was still not properly fixed. The only good thing about this experience was that it was under warranty, and another shop was able to fix my brakes properly. I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before trusting this shop, and if possible save your time and go elsewhere.

Honest shop that stands behind their work. I have been using them for years. I highly recommend them. Once sent a friend whose husband was deployed. Another shop told her she needed $900. of brake work. Art Walker looked at it and she needed nothing, no charge. They just worked on my daughters car, most other shops would have just charged for a new injection system. They cleaned the old on for a fraction of the price. Honesty goes a long way!! read more
