I have taken both my car and my wife's car to Jim at Royal Auto for a couple of years now. Located…read morenorth of St. Louis University, just behind the Fox Theater, Royal serves as a parking lot for both the school and entertainment venues. It is also an auto repair shop that's been going since the 80's. Jim will diagnose what is wrong with your car, without trying to sell you a thousand other things. He will do whatever he needs to in order to fix it to your satisfaction. Don't want to pay for a new part? He'll find you a comparable one at an area junkyard. His labor prices are the lowest I have seen in the area. The shop does not do safety and emission inspections though. You have to go elsewhere for this. The staff can be a bit gruff at times, however, the service and and thoroughness of work more than make up for it. I highly recommend Royal Auto to anyone in need of auto repairs in St. Louis.

I am never concerned that I'm being taken, and that's so important for a woman walking into a car repair shop. I love that they will do a quick check to let me know what issues may be coming up, to let you save up for the expense. I recommend Fred's South County Auto without reservation!

They recorded three pressures: Idle-1500 RPM, 2500 RPM. All reading show good oil pressures. Car is driveable the way it is. Ordered a pressure sensor cable repair kit that we will install later. They folks do great work and did exactly what I requested.

A great family run auto shop. I highly Recommend this shop…read more When I first went to Dave's, I had just come from dealing with another shop. That previous shop I had went to for all my car repair needs but after a change of management, they started to try to sell me services I didn't need. So I went to Dave's after a friend recommended them to me. The first thing I told Dave was how I was sick and tired of mechanics trying to oversell me services. He assured me that he wasn't in business to try to swindle people. I appreciated his honesty from day one but honestly, time would tell if he was the real deal. And they all are. I would always approach the shop with honesty and that honesty was reciprocated. I had to turn to the shop for many issues and even when I went to purchase a used vehicle, I called them and asked if there were certain things to look for. Dave spoke to me and walked me through certain things to look for. I've never had a mechanic take time to do that. I was loyal from that moment. I even go here to get my oil changes done when I am unable to do them myself. A few things they offer outside of car services: Restrooms, waiting room with tv and doll house and all toys for kids to play with, a few chairs to sit on, candy vending machines and free WiFi. There is also a small convenience store across the street if need be. They are located on Lackland iPad so the bus runs down in front of their shop too.

Don Fite at County Brake does things right. He has a fantastic cast of technicians with a wealth…read moreof experience to resolve the toughest problems. He is honest and treats his customers fairly. In a word, you can trust him. On a road trip from Texas to Wisconsin, my 2002 Suburban broke down on the interstate not far from Don's shop. County Brake towed my vehicle and resolved multiple issues stemming from a wire short (probably the result of a previous repair not quite done correctly). Don put his top mechanic on it and methodically worked through each system impacted by the short. The impacts were extensive, time consuming, and costly, but each system was tested, each solution verified with me before repair, and only performed because it was necessary to get me back on the road. I was really in a position where Don could have taken advantage of my vulnerability of being stranded, but what I experienced instead was quality work, care for my well being, flexibility, superb communication, and extra diligence to make my vehicle reliable. He even gave me a significant discount to help offset the circumstances I was in. I am grateful to have found this shop and it hit all the high notes of what I look for in a repair shop. I learned through experience County Brake is a shop run by people you can trust. They got me back on the road and safely to my destination.

I decided to roll the dice with County Brake after reading the reviews and I am goad I did. I brought in my Volvo for a brake pad change and they caught a screw in my tire which they plugged for free. Unlike many shops, they treat you like they actually want you as a customer instead of acting like you are a hassle.

They are telling me I have to fix the repairs. My fault. On a Chrysler 300 2017 they changed my downpayment from 1500.00 to 2000. I feel so manipulated and the least they can do is fix the issues. I have reached out and all I have gotten is resistance. This review is to not make the mistakes I made. Even the Owner pushed back with negative comments. This is my first car experience and it have been very bad. I wanted the car to last longer than 30-days. Yes, they got me and this may be an uphill battle but I have only made one payment and I am making major repairs. I am reaching out to the Attorney General as well. This used car lot is ripping off Consumers and a High Risk Business

I had to get a rental for the weekend. They reimbursed me the cost. However, as a caterer I had to refine a customer their money since we were not able to delivery their order. I was not aware before having my vehicle serviced that Mike sold it to a company that is franchising out of Atlanta. I was told to submit the paperwork for the rental and loss of income to be informed they are only paying for the rental. Do Not Take Your Vehicle Here. For years Nate was there and he is gone, Bryan left before the company was sold and only recognized face is Sarah. I reached out to the new owner and he has yet to return a call.
