I've gotten a lot of maintenance work done here. Throttle body cleaning, tires (alignment + balance…read more+ rotation), a serpentine belt and tensioner pulley. But after my check engine light came on for EVAP codes. I started to notice their lack of communication. The EVAP codes could be multiple things like a purge valve, vacuum switching valve, charcoal canister, hoses etc. I ordered a vacuum switching valve after some research and they said it was the wrong part. It wasn't the wrong part, because I just had it installed somewhere else, and the VSV already on there wouldn't click at all. So the part I previously ordered was the right buy. But old school wanted to put a new part in that they ordered. A vent valve. I had no issue. They're professionals they know what they're doing maybe my vent valve was faulty. But when I asked how they diagnosed that it was indeed a faulty vent valve. They wouldn't tell me. Keith said "you can't really tell if it's bad". So you're replacing a part that you're not sure I need? Sheesh could at least run the smoke test. Then trying to ask for more info about the part they're ordering and putting in my car, was a hassle. I felt like a nuisance. As a customer I shouldn't feel nervous asking about my car but they sound extremely annoyed talking to me. I'm at performance express and was just told I had a massive head gasket oil leak. Old school didn't catch that. Thank god I was able to catch it. But old school is good overall. Parts come in quick. Labor prices are pretty good. Just communication is meh. Chris is awesome tho.

Keith and his team are the best in the Columbia, SC area! I had a massive project on my 4Runner…read morethat I almost gave up on. It required a huge tear down to take out the left engine head and send it to a machine shop to extract two cross threaded bolts. I hired a local mechanic before to do the project, but he stopped working on it after tearing apart about 80% of the parts under the hood. I collected all of the parts and hundreds of screws/bolts in bags and towed the car to Old School Automotive. I thought it would be impossible to figure out where every screw and bolt goes when putting it back together. Somehow, Keith and his team of expert mechanics were able to solve the puzzle after pouring hours and hours into organizing all the parts to put back together. It's up and running like new again, and I couldn't be more blown away. There's nothing this team can't do. They were very detailed oriented and fixed what needed to be fixed, and left alone what didn't. It's not easy to pick up a project that you didn't start yourself. They were extremely fair and transparent with their service and pricing too. Whether you have a small job, or a massive project that requires reassembling the engine, Old School Automotive can do it. A good mechanic is like a good surgeon. I won't take my cars anywhere else (and I live 100+ miles away in Greenville, SC now).

It would have been several days to even get a diagnosis. I called this business and they were so kind and empathetic, and told me they couldn't promise me it could be fixed same day, but to bring it down and they would do their best. The owner, Todd, helped me when I arrived and even offered to drive me back to work. They quickly let me know what the issue was, and gave me a quote over the phone and there were no surprises and no attempts to sell me anything additional. Also, my car was fixed by lunch time the following day. We will definitely be using this business for any future car repairs. Highly recommend.

It's not difficult to find, but the 12th Street/ Charleston highway/ Augusta road area requires some attention. Be aware of one way streets when you are leaving as well. Again, just pay attention and you won't have a problem. There is limited parking in front of the office, but they have a large area along the street. Their work area is a large covered carport. There were several customers already in the waiting area. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door even though the manager was on the phone. I have always appreciated acknowledgement of my physical presence over a phone conversation. When he finished with the call, he immediately asked what I needed. My vehicle was pulled into a bay within 5 minutes of my walking in. It took about 40 minutes until the work was completed. While there, on the order of 10 customers walked in. Several were obviously regulars known by name. A couple did get out before me, but their work was very simple. I did not feel I was being pushed aside in favor of others. Once my work was completed, I was given my keys and was able to quickly complete the transaction. No waiting for someone at the counter. I was also given information on overall condition of my tires and what to watch for. They did not try to sell me anything I did not need, and did not give me any dire warnings if I didn't buy something else. This is what local shops (or any store for that matter) should strive to be. A place giving straight information and making sure their customers are treated right.
