So if you're looking for an honest highly skilled mechanic that you can trust with your vehicle I recommend taking it to Russ at Butler

I went to this place because I read Kelly B's review and my car stalled at work…read more I was pleased that they.. 1. Were able to take my car immediately and start working on it. 2. The price was reasonable. 3. My car was ready before promised, always a plus. I think... 1. The man on the phone could have been more personable. He kept on cutting me off, wouldn't let me talk, was Chinese so it was already hard to understand him, and short. Overall they fixed my car and didn't charge me an arm and a leg but I think they could maybe work on their customer service a lil more.

Once again, A&A saved the day! I called at 5PM with a faulty headlight and they fit me in at 8AM…read morethe next morning. They fixed the left headlight, which required removal of engine parts, replaced a rusted bracket under my car that was creating a loud rattle and filled my tires with air. All of this in under 30 minutes and for $12. I luv these guys. They never tell me I need something I don't and I always do my homework before going to them. Their prices rock! Tan isn't as personable as Ricky was, but he's still a good guy. Also, I need a front end alignment and unfortunately, A & A doesn't do them, but they referred me to Bates Auto Tire and their quote ($59) was $12-$40 lower than everyone else that I called (even with on-line coupons for other shops).

Best Service Station in South City!…read more When it comes to auto service, I'm all about having a guy. I don't particularly like going to the big box stores for something because it always ends with a big bill and me yelling at strangers. I had a guy in South City, but he's been pretty flaky lately. Therefore, I looked into Advanced Auto Service on Gravois. Mike Silva is a standup dude. A friend suggested that I talk to him about my next oil change, which I desperately needed, and the rest of pretty much history. He is by far the friendliest mechanic that I've ever met. I guess that doesn't say much! Haha. However, he and his wife have been very friendly and helpful. While big box stores will put the fear of God in you, Mike does keep tabs on routine maintenance and makes suggestions for improving the life of your car. He also understands when someone is on a budget. He helped my friend locate a used hood because she had damaged her old one in an accident. Altogether, he is very easy to work with, and I highly recommend his services to anyone in the South City/Bevo area.

OK-customer service, but then annoying to deal with when you spend $1600 on a repair but your car…read moreis still unusable because "it wasn't leaking when in shop." It's fine though! I got $56 back! :-) Out of shop my car worked for one day. Then stalled on me twice while driving. I brought it back and it was another $1200 maybe $900? To fix the problem. I would have just bought a new car if the repairs were more than $2000 initially. I did not have the financial capability to accommodate any price over $2000. I tried to make the $1600 work though because my car is very useful for my line of work. After pulling some strings I was able to cough up the money. Mind you, to repair the car any further it was at least $600-900 more because the coolant can was damaged. But I wish I knew this prior to driving it. Again, it didn't work after a full day of use. But all fluids were checked. I couldn't pay for this again nor could I go without a car for much longer. I ended up bringing the car to car max and trading it in. Again a car is very useful in my line of work so I needed it ASAP. I didn't have a car for about three days while it was in their shop and it really set me back. I called initially to ask for compensation considering how much money I had dropped on the repair. Mike had told me he could tow the car to the shop and try and fix the problem. All I would pay for was the part. The part USED, was apparently $600. I would not pay that money on a 2007 Toyota Prius. Nor would I have the capability to be without a car again. I declined. I asked for a $400 refund Mike said he would call back, never did. Two weeks pass and I drove there again asking to speak to the owner, Mike. He was at lunch. I came back again two hours later, still at lunch. His employee relayed the information and Mike called me back that night right after they closed. (I'm glad they're busy!) :-) Mike was short and demeaning, understandable. I look young and oblivious to the world. It's easy to act like I'm the person in the wrong. And apologized for taking so long to get back to me. He mentioned his lawyer would allow for a good faith agreement. Sure. They gave me the option to either get their auto repair service maintenance thing for a year OR $56 for the initial diagnosis. I'm not planning on living in STL for much longer so I opted for the $56. I understand the work put into my car but I expected some compensation. Not $56 worth of compensation, but it's okay! It's some money back. All in all, I would not recommend them to anyone. I always believed that a diagnosis meant FULL diagnosis. But Mike told me countless of times, "I can't predict the future." Because I guess you're supposed to be able to predict the future rather than addressing the problem before it surfaced in the future. Maybe I was just one of the unlucky ones but you're free to give them a try. I ended up getting a new car, one star for a great oil change though!

This place is an awesome car repair shop. Tim, the owner, specializes in classic car restorations,…read morebut is available for general and in-depth repairs, maintenance, body work, painting, and just about any other service you would need for any year or make of car or truck. This is a hometown shop, and he has a stream of vehicles in and out weekly, so if you are considering having him repair or maintain your vehicle, expect to leave if there for a day or so. In my experience, he has never kept my cars over 3 days for repairs or maintenance. I would assume a restoration takes longer. He is always fair with labor and prices, and the work is expertly done. If you are looking for a local auto mechanic, Tim is your guy.

I was shorted $400 on the refund due to "hidden costs" he magically created. Due to his wiring job, the headlights no longer work properly, there are issues with the motor and now the glove box is free floating and not attached. He claims he is a perfectionist but he left remnants of the old wiring, used after market parts, left parts dangling and created issues that did not previously exist.
