Andy does all of our family's automotive work and I have recommended numerous people to him over the past couple of years. Everyone I have recommended has continued to use him without complaint.

If you can wait a few weeks for a repair he'll tell you and if it's imperative that you make the repair now he'll tell you. Give Andy a try, you won't be disappointed!

I was looking for a good mechanic near my new house and a few people in my neighborhood recommended…read moreRobert's. I took my truck in because it needed a new idle air control valve (computer was throwing code). Since it was my first time at the shop, they said they would go over everything... about an hour later they called with over $4,500 worth of recommended fixes. I know a lot about cars and immediately there were some red flags. 1. New front brakes were recommended because they were in the "red zone" 3mm. This was odd because I had replaced brakes and rotors less than 20k miles. 2. New ball joints and control arms were recommended. They actually said "we don't want them to fail when you are driving" Again, this was odd because they were replaced 30k miles. 3. Back shocks recommended because one was completely "bad". 4. Front axle seals because all of the front grease had already leaked out. I was pretty upset. I take pretty good care of my truck and this was not something I wanted to hear. The red flags made me want to get another opinion from my old mechanic who I now live 45 minutes from. He went through everything and found no issues whatsoever with anything that was found by Robert's Automotive. The front brakes were at 6mm, the ball joints were completely fine, the rear shocks showed no sign of leaking and were functioning properly. I was looking for an honest mechanic and found the opposite. For now I'll continue to travel 45 minutes for honest and fair automotive work.

I rarely post reviews but felt the need to post on this company. I own a Mercedes and any time I…read moreneed to have work done it is overpriced and time consuming. After being recommended to V W Moters, I had my car towed to this company because it wouldn't start. The owner quickly troubleshooted and fixed my car within the same day. I required 2 new batteries and when I picked it up later that day, it started back up with no issues. The prices were also fair and reasonable compared to what a Mercedes dealership would have charged me. Fast forward a few weeks and I noticed my brakes were going bad and called last minute on a Friday for an estimate. Although closing within the hour he asked me to bring the car by for an accurate estimate. Turns out my brakes were so bad that they were metal on metal and he didn't feel comfortable with me driving off with my car in this condition. Since I have no other form of transportation I was offered a vehicle to drive if he could not get the parts in and car fixed by the following day when they close at noon so that I could get to work on Monday. Very grateful for this kind gesture but I declined since I live close by. My car was ready by 10 am the next day and again, the price was fair and much cheaper than the dealership. I highly recommend this family owned business. Everyone there is super nice and professional. The prices are fair. The work is reliable. I will continue to bring my vehicle here in the future for any car related issues as well as referring my friends who are looking for a trustworthy mechanic.

I take it back to them and 3 more things need to be fixed. They kept my car for 3 weeks. The day after I got it back, there were more complications than the original problem. I've taken my car back about 10x now. Each time they say they can't find the issue or can't hear the massive noises it makes. I drove with them and, like magic, the noises appeared. I brought my car to them Friday, They were supposed to call me at 2 or 3pm. No calls and when I try to contact them, they NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE! Today I went to their shop with a male neighbor of mine. The owners brother raised his voice at me in an attempt to intimidate me and was using profanity to deflect from their horrible work. He even stated how his brother commented that I just want to come and complain. I don't know anyone who decides to wadte the time in their lives to sit for hours in a filthy auto shop, just to complain. He also LIED about the parts they were supposed to replace. They should have fixed a head gasket, radiator hoses, and the timing chain. Sammy's brother, Jose, said they replaced my raidiator. WHAT FOR, WHY?!!! Long story longer, my car is still not fixed, I'm out $1,600, I have no money left to fix my car. The engine is about to die. I'm now about to take them to court.

Richie was able to create a heating hose fitting and get me back on the road the same day! He quoted me a good price for the work. Didn't hurt that he collects Camaros as I have a Camaro and knew I was in good hands! THANK YOU SO MUCH RICHIE AND BERNADINE! Drive straight back to the second row of shops if you're lost.

I checked out this spot because of the good reviews on Yelp. There were good reviews…read more My experience was different. At first it was difficult to get information over the phone and to schedule an appointment. Apparently there was one person who may have the expertise for my Subaru. Maybe there was another reason, who knows? When I was there I asked very direct questions based on my limited knowledge of my car's issues and a previous estimate from the dealership. I didn't get direct answers and basically was told they'd have to work on the car to get the full picture. I made the mistake of sharing a written estimate. They basically recommended a lot of work which would require me to spend about what was on the previous estimate from the dealer, but not the exact same work. I was primarily concerned with anything that would effect safety and just being able to depend on the car not breaking down. They recommended new tires because of rot. I hadn't seen any rot but I took their word for it. They also did some suspension work, less than what I was going to get done at the dealership. I think they wanted me to buy tires through them also but that wasn't happening. After their work, I got my car back and got new tires from Costco. I still spent a lot of money. The quality of the work was good but the service, exchange of information and overall experience wasn't good. I know a few things about cars, I just don't work on them anymore because of all of the new technology. I think I know enough to know that I probably spent a few hundred dollars more than I needed to. Good quality work but not the value that I anticipated based on the reviews.
