A&L Automotive came to my rescue while on an out of town trip last fall and I'm very grateful. It…read morewas a Saturday morning. Friend and I were driving to breakfast when all of a sudden my dashboard lit up and my car stopped working! We coasted into the nearby restaurant where we were headed thankfully. We got out and did the obvious - look under the hood for fluid leaks, smoke, etc... but nothing for the plain eye to see. I went to Yelp to see if there were any services near that could help and that is when I found this shop. I called A&L, told them what happened and they kept it real with me basically saying they didn't know what it could be either, but they could fit me in that morning to take a look. I decided to have the car towed versus trying to drive it and possibly damage it further. I asked if they knew any tow companies and they gave me info for a local company they do business with (that was also excellent btw!). Once my car arrived at A&L they let me know they were close to finishing up another vehicle and would look into mine after they were done. They have a very small waiting area which is set up nicely with a couch, tv with all entertainment you could want and a vending machine. It really is only big enough for a couple people. When it was my turn, they looked at the car while I chilled in the waiting area de-stressing watching tv. They came back, explained the problem, quoted me a price and let me know they could fix it that same morning while I waited! WOW! They did have to send someone for the part. The pricing also seemed very reasonable. I accepted. (Note I later discussed what happened with my existing local trusted mechanic and he confirmed their pricing was AMAZING as was the fact they were able to help so quickly. As a non-mechanical person there is a lot of trust that goes here). They had my problem diagnosed, resolved and paid for all in a few hours. I was very impressed! My friend even stated this was a blessing as many shops have waiting lists right now for basic items. Summary - USE this shop! Take your car here! They are trustworthy, efficient, affordable and no bs. They do what they say they can do and they are upfront about now being able to diagnose without seeing the vehicle.

I've been there for a diagnostic, estimate for a hub replacement, they recently took care of us after a wheel actually fell off the f'g car. We had it towed there on a weekend, Friday they called for verification of what had happened, by noon the repairs were done, at a great price, I might add. I personally know four people that get all their work done there and, again, nothing but good things to say.

He cracked or put a hole in my radiator hose and said he would be right back and then never came. Tell me he had to go eat dinner then I had to call him and he came back out at 12:30 only to tell me that he can't do anything he'll have to be back tomorrow. So he wanted me to pay, but I told him I didn't feel comfortable paying when he didn't fix my car the first time. bad news.

Not only did these guys fix my Diesel Excursion correctly, but they used Quality parts. I am extremely picky about mechanics and generally an arrogant ass about it. I demand the best. Expect the best. And I believe, I got the best Branson has to offer. Also, I am not from Branson and the price seemed fair. Even from hindsight. We are planning to return to Branson when the covid issues are gone and I am planning to drop my Excursion so they can give it a once over, for a second opinion from my regular mechanics. Which means I will be driving the 17 hours to Branson again.
