He kept me updated throughout the entire process and explained everything clearly. What impressed me most was his honesty and knowledge. He was well-versed in my warranty coverage and, instead of guessing when a question was specific to my warranty provider, he told me exactly who could give the definitive answer. That level of integrity is hard to find. No gimmicks, no pressure--just straightforward, honest, and exceptional service. Jeff made the entire experience stress-free, and he's a true asset to ACA Automotive. I highly recommend working with him.

Jeff walked me through what repairs were best for me at that moment, completely transparent and helpful, never trying to push additional work onto me. Came back nine months later to finally get to the deferred repairs and Jeff remembered me, had his notes from the last repair ready in the system, and got the work done more quickly than expected. I've never had anything but exceptional service from this place. Highest recommendation. Jeff and ACA Automotive are the best.

I have been to this mechanic for several services and have been satisfied each time. My car is…read morerunning very well for an older vehicle! The value of their services is appropriate to what you receive as a customer. Also, I recently received a very expensive quote from another mechanic for a service my car needed and took it to Jamel and Celine. They inspected my car and ensured me that that service was not even necessary! I am not very knowledgeable about cars, so I deeply appreciate that they were honest with me at a time when I could very well have been taken advantage of and charged for something that was not needed. Jamel, Celine, and their team deserve all the business and positive reviews!

They responded quickly, were courteous, and didn't try to tack on a diagnostic fee just to take a look. When I dropped off the car, the technician walked me through their process, starting with the bulbs before moving into any potential electrical issues (which I really appreciated.) It ended up being the simplest fix: both bulbs were burned out. They had everything replaced within a few hours. Fair pricing, clear communication, and no upselling. I'll definitely be back for future repairs. Side note- they have the cutest shop kitten. ‍

I had been here once before and had a great experience, so when my car's AT light went on…read moreunexpectedly one night I called them first thing the next morning to see if they could get it in. They said they could and gave me a timeline for working on the vehicle that matched my needs. While I appreciate them getting me in on short notice, they consistently over-promised and under-delivered on when they would be able to work on my vehicle. They were able to diagnose a couple of leaks that they thought were the problem and sent me photos to show me what they were looking at. In the past when I've left my car at this shop for work they sent over a detailed estimate before starting the work, but this time I only received the verbal estimate over the phone. I drive an old car, which isn't worth much, and I did let the person know that I wasn't interested in investing more in repairs than the vehicle is worth. As it was, the two leaks were just over $1K to fix, and I OK'd the work to begin. After fixing the first two leaks, they then came back and told me there was a third leak, which would require a more major repair to the transmission and they would have to have their transmission person (who wasn't there that weekend) send me an estimate the next day. While I understand that it's plausible that the third leak wasn't something they could have originally diagnosed, it felt a bit weird that the photo they used to show me the leak was one of the original photos they had sent before starting any work. If the leak was visible in that photo, I'm unclear why they couldn't have diagnosed it earlier. The added cost of this additional repair definitely tips the scales of worth-it/not-worth-it to repair vs replace this car, so I wish I had had all the information before deciding to make the initial repairs. Unfortunately, despite stabilizing the ATF level, fixing the leaks did not resolve the transmission issue. On a smaller scale, they didn't check or top up the tire pressure, which most mechanics I've gone to have done as a courtesy when working on my vehicle. The day after I picked up my car the tire pressure light went on, and when I checked my tires all four of them had low pressure. It's a small thing, but especially when dealing with expensive mechanical items like cars, the small things matter a lot in creating a sense of security and trust with your mechanic. They did mention that they were under new management since the last time I had been in, which may account for the different experiences.

I've heard from a lot of people that this is a very trustworthy shop, and now I have firsthand experience.

I took my car here for a routine oil change, and the same day I got home, I noticed oil leaking all…read moreover my driveway. Because I was getting ready to go out of town, I took the car to another mechanic to have it checked. I was told that something underneath the vehicle had not been properly tightened/secured during the oil change, which caused the oil leak and led to serious gasket damage. I'm now being told the repairs could cost around $6,000. My car was not having this issue before the oil change. What should have been basic routine maintenance turned into a major mechanical problem and an extremely expensive repair. I'm very disappointed with the service and the damage this has caused. I would strongly recommend anyone coming here for an oil change check underneath their vehicle for leaks immediately afterward and have the work inspected if anything seems wrong.

This time, aside from the oil change, I let them know I was having issues with squeaky brakes. I was taken back and shown my brake pads and given a quote. The price was reasonable and they were fixed in no time. I'll always drive right past Jiffy Lube to Pepboys for fast, honest service.

I called Sunday to check on it and they said a technician wouldn't be in until Monday now. Monday rolls around and I call them again first thing in the morning and they tell me the technician doesnt come in until 11am! Not once did I receive a call/email/text regarding my car. I had to constantly call them (if I even got through because they will put you on hold and hang up. Multiple times!) Finally, they tell me that I just need a fuel hose clamp. It is now 310pm on Monday and they are requesting $300 for service and parts and I have until 315pm to decide, for the part to come in the next day. I agree and call back for an update the next morning and they said they would call me as soon as the part came in. Did they? No. Of course not. Then after extending our hotel checkout AGAIN (we are from out of state) at around noon, I called and was on hold for 30 minutes before the rude woman tells me, "oh the part came in and your car is ready". My car was filthy when I got it back. $300 and 4 days later for a hose clamp is ridiculous. Plus the lack of communication and respect for their paying customers should tell you to GO ANYWHERE ELSE! This place deserves 0 stars and I highly reccommend not bringing your vehicle here.
