Outstanding service and genuine care! While driving two…read morehours from home, a warning light suddenly came on in my car. I found Auto Repair 74 online and gave them a call, worried I wouldn't find help on a Friday afternoon. To my surprise, they welcomed me to bring the car in right away. As soon as I arrived, they quickly checked the electrical system. Bobby even offered me a ride to a nearby restaurant so I could grab lunch while they diagnosed the issue--such a thoughtful gesture! Before I'd even finished eating, I received a message letting me know the car was running smoothly again. They also explained what to watch for and what to do if the light reappeared. The perfect ending? No charge! I can't say enough good things about their professionalism, kindness, and efficiency. If I ever have car trouble in Birmingham again, I know exactly where I'm going. Highly recommended!

I want to start this off by saying they have been great folks to work with over the years. I spent…read morea lot of money and worked with them almost exclusviely with both of my families cars. But my last exerience was one that I cannot help but be infuratied by. I had an issue where my 2012 Highlander AC went out in July and it was $2700.00 to fix. So I agreed and they did the work. When I took the car in the heater worked fine and prior to the AC going out the temperature control worked without any issues. They "fixed" the AC and it blew ice cold which was great for July. I noticed immediately that you couldn't regulate the temperature at all but life was busy and in hindsight I should have turned right around and took it back in. Fast forward two months when I had a blowout, I took it back in and alerted them to the issue's (no temp control and heater is out). They mulled it over and said it was a completely different issue and wanted another $2700. If they had test run the system after "fixing" the AC, they would have noticed something was off. Or maybe they did and just pushed it out anyways? They claim to warrenty their work but that didn't hold up here either. No attempt whatsoever to meet me in the middle. Nothing except a "sorry, completely different issue so another $2700.00". Not a good look Rob'e Man's.

Dishonest work. I…read moreusually change my own oil and oil filter every 5000 miles, but I needed it done last minute before a road trip. I called ahead and asked if I could bring my own (preferred) oil and oil filter and just pay for labor. They had no problem with it--I'm ecstatic! So I bring my vehicle in, provided my own items, paid $60 for labor, and then made my way. (If you've been to one of these places you'll know they open your hood to in advance to run their multi-point inspection of sorts, and to pour oil in once it drains. But you can't see what they're doing below your vehicle.) 5000 miles later, I go to change my own oil and oil filter only to find out that they used a smaller than OEM oil drain plug, and they didn't even use my $20 K&N oil filter and instead used a low quality $7 Ecogard one! In the end, I had to buy and order the correct oil drain plug and a quality oil filter. If it's just an oil change, go for it--their prices aren't bad. But if you care for your vehicle, want it to last, and appreciate quality parts for your investment, try elsewhere.
