To top it off, the last time I was in, I heard one of the female employees offer to drive an older gentleman back to his house so he didn't have to sit there all day long. Seriously, the warmest folks ever. Their prices are a bit higher than elsewhere, but it is justified by their quality of work, communication, and kindness. They will inform you of any issues they identify on your car but are not at all pushy about getting the work done there. I'm not religious and was originally worried that I might feel uncomfortable coming here, but it's been nothing but a positive experience all around!

Until I found Eric's Repair. Eric's is COMPLETELY a different experience where you will find friendly, honest, knowledgeable, professional, experienced and well equipped real mechanics in a clean shop ready to repair anything and everything. They show you what the problem is using pictures and videos and may even hand you that old broken part for you to see with your own eyes creating an unmatched service experience. They are quick, thorough and well priced. I will never ever go anywhere else and suggest you don't waste your time elsewhere either. Thank you Dennis and Eric. You literally are the very best!

Finding his shop isn't the easiest and it's not new and fancy. It's a mechanics shop, basically 2 guys and a shop. So with his estimate of $800 it was game on.

Everything was perfect during his time.He really gave attention to his customers and was very helpful. I needed a transmission service last month so with the past good experiment I came to this place, again. My car stayed there all day and then they told me that I did need a transmission service. The front desk person told me that, they can rebuild the transmission with the cost of $ 4100. I asked him if they can find an used transmission and then install it. He told me ,sorry there isn't any used transmission they can find. I asked him, if I find a used one and they can install; he said they don't do that.7 So, his goal was to rebuild the transmission and charge me $ 4100 +. I didn't follow his advice and left. Then, I found a used transmission in Wisconsin online, bought it and delivered it for $ 800. I went to my mechanic garage, they did a fantastic job and replaced the transmission. It was $ 1500 total, part+labor. I saved lots of money and my car is running perfectly on the road. I will never go for any service to Transmission Service store again. Unless, Russ decides to come back.

I brought my car to Autopia in Bloomington after my check engine light came on because the dealership I normally use was fully booked. Autopia was able to get me in right away. I explained that we had already run a diagnostic and provided the codes. Later that day they told me those were "old codes" and that I needed an oil flush. I paid over $600, picked up my car, and the check engine light came back on as soon as I got on the interstate. I returned the car the next day and was told I needed a timing chain and that the repair would cost over $12,000. The manager also warned me not to expect my warranty to cover much of it and said I should be prepared to pay a lot out of pocket. When the warranty company sent an inspector, they approved $6,100. The inspector explained that Autopia's estimate was significantly higher than what they typically see and that the labor alone was over $4,500 when it should have been closer to $2,500. When my husband asked Autopia for a detailed breakdown of the charges, they refused and would only provide the total. At that point I decided to rescue my car and bring it to the dealership, and I'm very glad I did. The dealership determined the real issue was the engine, not the timing chain. If I had stayed at Autopia, I could have spent thousands on a repair that would not have fixed the problem. They had also missed a large hole in one of the hoses, which the dealership immediately pointed out. The engine replacement ended up costing $9,200, and my warranty covered 100% of the repair. I only paid my deductible. Unfortunately, I still paid Autopia over $600 for an oil flush that the dealership later said was unnecessary. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this shop.
