They quickly set me up to check out my suspension issue, had initially given me all the quotes on what they might attempt, alignment, diagnosis; next day I was surprised to find an entire email detailing their recommended work.

They're only missing a waiting room with weird sparkling water and Aldi beverages in a cooler!

so grateful for the fine folks at guaranteed automotive…read more my wife, 7 week old baby, and puppy were driving from cincy to chicago after our first road trip as a family of 4. engine completely gave out on 65N. we were in a crisis, on the side of the interstate with semis speeding by. we got a tow to the nearest mechanic (20+ miles) - and it happened to be guaranteed automotive. they were busy as could be, but still managed to let us know that our catalytic converter went out. they needed to order the part and could get it fixed for us - but it'd be a couple days. the real problem was that it was purdue's move in weekend - and even though enterprise allowed me to book and check into a reservation online - not a single location had a rental car in all of lafayette. same issue with every rental company in the area. what a shame. we needed to get back to chicago bad, especially with a crying newborn. after several frustrating calls with enterprise and hurtz, we decided we'd just uber on home ($270) and come back for the car when it was ready. but out of nowhere, guaranteed auto offered us their little loaner and let us take it back to chicago for 3 days while our car was getting fixed. saved us some money and was very convenient, after a long stressful day. we're so appreciative for the kindness and efficiency we witnessed with guaranteed. i hope i never step foot in there again, but if you're reading this and you're broke down in the area - they'll get you right. only somewhat negative feedback from me is that they're closed on saturday and sunday - and waited to call until friday around closing time to let us know the car was ready for pickup. so had to wait a couple extra days to pickup, whereas if i knew it was going to be ready i could have been there friday afternoon. oh well. pretty good, not bad, can't complain. thanks y'all!

The front desk staff were very friendly and I really appreciated Eric's help. I had a speculation I was burning oil and they made sure to take note and set up an appointment to address that in a months time. Oil change, air filter, and windshield wipers were all very reasonably priced. I had an appointment for 10 AM and was out by 11:30 AM on a busy morning it seemed. Nice little waiting area as well. I will be taking my car here for future services.

I could tell they really took pride in their work and wanted to leave me as a happy customer and I am. I'll be back for sure and will continue to recommend them to friends and family.
