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.

Installed a metal oil pan and oil and told them it was "good to go". They stressed they had an 8-hour drive to Indiana and asked for them to do a 2nd driving test. They said it was "good to go".

Real through job by Branson Tire to just assume it was a plastic oil pan and not inspect anything further up the system. If you are traveling through Branson and have problems, don't count on this place, they know you are out of towners and just do enough to get you on your way and fatten their wallets.

This included a/c compressor and other work they said need to be done . We decided to pull from savings and a friend helped us with some and we had all repairs fixed. (My husband is disabled and I need a working car.) After a few days of getting the car back, it started making noise. I checked fluids and there was 0 transmission fluid. I went to the store and purchased transmission fluid and filled her up. A few days later my power steering started whining. I brought it by and they said my pump was probably going out and I'd have to make an appointment and drop it off to them for checking and repair. When I got home I checked fluid and that, too, was empty. I filled it up and thought all was good. When weather got warmer I needed my a/c for the first time since the "repairs/replacement" of my compressor and hoses that they said were bad. (It worked perfectly and blew cold when I brought it in.) My ac didn't work when the car was moving, only when sitting still. I brought it to them and they said I'd have to make an appointment (a week later) to have them look at it. I did and they "fixed" it and I went and picked it up after hours when I got off work. It still wasn't fixed so the next morning we called and again they say I need an appointment a week later. They said it may need an OEM compressor and that would cost an additional $100. We brought it back to them and they called us the next day and said the was nothing they could do and that we needed to bring it to the Cadi dealership in Springfield. We did and their mechanic showed us that the plug was never put back on the compressor and that it would be $2500 to replace the compressor that was improperly done by Art's. We will never take another vehicle to them or recommend them to anyone!

We didn't find anything we needed but gas, and the grab and go sandwiches looked quite uninspired.

Kinda necessary because gas prices are up, but that's an election season only kind of issue down this way.
