After the same well-known chain auto repair company in Surprise failed repeatedly to properly…read morerepair my 2000 Chevy Cavalier, I had it towed to Litchfield Auto Repair. My sister has been their customer for several years and has always spoken highly of them, so I decided to give them a try. Jenny Bastanchury was my service advisor and provided excellent service at every step. The car arrived shifting hard and shuddering at low speeds. Litchfield Auto Repair's mechanics quickly discovered what the large chain shop missed. A damaged transmission bracket was causing excess vibration and had been destroying my motor and transmission mounts. There were also other issues that needed attention, and the team walked me through each one clearly. Litchfield Auto Repair diagnosed excessive engine movement and rebuilt the entire engine and transmission mount set-up using modified brackets because original parts for a 2000 Cavalier are no longer available. They replaced the left front CV axle, installed a new air conditioning compressor, performed a complete R134a evacuate and recharge service, and coordinated a full transmission rebuild. Per my request, Jenny tried to source new old stock parts for the job, but in some cases, they were not available. After all the work was completed, the Cavalier drove smoother and stronger than it has in years. Their pricing was fair, their communication was clear, and the quality of their work was outstanding. Jenny and her mechanics really listened to my input and provided superior service compared with what I had experienced at other shops over the last 12 years. Although Litchfield Auto Repair is a little out of my way, I will drive the extra miles to get auto repairs I can fully trust. Please give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

When I went for a simple routine oil change, I so enjoyed coming to Litchfield Automotive Repair…read more As they completed the inspection of my vehicle, they noticed that my serpentine belt was starting to crack and gave me the option of either changing it now or coming back in at a later time. As I waited in their lobby, the oil and the belt were replaced in just over two hours. The money I paid was well worth it, as I felt satisfied and secure in my vehicle after it left the shop. While waiting in the reception area, I overheard the owners speaking with another customer. They offered to assist the other customer when they didn't have to. They were willing to go above and beyond on their own time to help the community. When you come here, you're not just a customer or a number; you become Family, and I like to see that.

I Yelped for quotes on alternator repair; CBA was one of the providers Yelp suggested. I don't…read morerecommend them. Period. Summary: Cost -- 30% - 50% higher higher than other providers. Communication -- slow to respond, several instances of completely ignoring my contacts / questions. They didn't offer critical info / details when it should have been provided. Time Issues -- took my car in midmorning Thursday and didn't get it back until midday the following Monday. A five hour wait just to hear confirmation the problem was the alternator, which could have been provided in less than half hour. Details: COST: $1616 total for alternator replacement. $447 for remanufactured alternator. $94 for 2 gallons of antifreeze. A new alternator can be had for less (half the) money. They didn't offer / discuss any options on this choice of parts. Not typical in my experience. There's a spectrum of quality and cost on any auto part, so usually parts choice usually involves a discussion. Nope, the topic of choices didn't come up. They'll likely say the couldn't offer their "3 year warranty" on a cheaper part. Blah blah blah. Ask me if there's choices on what it costs me, don't assume. And $94 for 2 gallons of coolant?!? It's currently $10 / gal. from Walmart. So, a 400% markup? This gets to me because it's so obvious a gouging. It makes me wonder -- Where else I'm being gouged that's not something I can readily see??? Anyway, let's review CBA website where it's gushing about having my "best interests in mind", shall we? A 400% mark-up is needlessly not in my best interests. Anyway, from other shops I got repair estimates (parts + labor) ranging from mid-$700's to $1100. Brakes Plus quoted me (in person -- after the fact) "out the door" of $868. So, yeah, I got gouged going with CBA. COMMUNICATION: Besides the Yelp project no responses, my texting with them (at their promoting me to text any questions) was unsatisfactory. Unprompt responses, no responses to at least half my my texts. Ignoring a question altogether? Sheesh. TIME ISSUES: They were all over me checking in my car ASAP, which ended up being 10:30. 'They'd do the diagnostic and get back with me.' Well, my timeline experience with repair like this: Tech plugs in the code reader, gets the codes, looks up them. 10 minutes for that. Lookup parts + labor costs. 10 more minutes? Gives me a call. If it's reasonable, I approve it and they start the work. Tech calls me if there's something else to discuss / suggest. We talk it over, but meanwhile the repair doesn't get put off. But with CBS an hour after the check-in (they were in a helpful hurry to do), I texted them. "Are you sending the diagnosis?" 30 minutes later: "Yes'. Well, FIVE hours after check-in, they finally text " your report is ready." 'Yes, it's the alternator, plus here's the diagnostic list (inferred: of everything else we want to sell you).' Service manager calls me, we review the report that LISTED NO COSTS AT ALL (yes , I'm yelling -- this is not "transparency" [a word they toss about a lot], this is manipulation). My wife and I understood him to say the cost would be $1018 or something close to that. I say something like, "Okay, do the repair. Send me a breakdown of all the other stuff. It's so close to closing time you won't get the alternator done tonight, so I have time to look over the list and see what else I might approve, right?" He agrees, "Yes, take your time." Subsequently I looked at the separate report with actual estimates. Shocking. The "$1018" was actually $1564. I made the mistake of hesitating to approve the repair, result of which bumped me behind another car. Final result -- they had my car from 10:30 on Thursday until midday on Monday -- for a 4-6 hour job. There's more I could gripe about, but I'll shut up now. Bottom line, I understand making a profit, but this profit was out of line. I will say that everyone was very pleasant to interact with. But someone can be nice to your face and still be less than competent in helping you. Someone can act friendly even while over charging you. Fun Fact: they sent me Tell Us How We Did link before they had even done the repair. I went to use the link a day or two after I had my car back. But the link had expired. I'd rather have given them a chance to address things in private but I got timed out -- in error, I'd say.

The front suspension of my old Sonata had been making a variety of noises for a while; I took it to this Brakes Plus (Indian School and Jackrabbit) to have it checked out. They determined the problems were control arms and ball joints. They expeditiously repaired these, and so now -- no more squeaky front end noises! Yes! Silence is golden, right? I've been patronizing Brakes Plus and this particular location for a number of years because (1) the parts and labor charges are always reasonable (2) they apprise me of other issues I need to be aware of without any pushy up-sale techniques, and (3) everyone I've encountered at this business falls in the category of "good people". Specific kudos going from me to Rose and David, who always take good care of me in ways like offering coupon discounts without my even asking and ensuring warranties on parts are honored -- again without my asking. Always pleasant and considerate, these two. So, bottom line don't hesitate to take your vehicle to these folks to have issues diagnosed and repaired. They work on a lot more stuff than just brakes, so give them a call to see if they handle whatever repair you're looking for. My last review I remarked I'd give them a 5 star review if the rate on oil changes were more competitive, and I found that their rates are actually quite competitive, especially when you use the coupon discount you can find by going to their website. No complaints here!

I've taken our Honda Civic and Jeep Wrangler there and received good work at a fair price. But as the proprietor started making fewer appearances over the last year the vibe and responsiveness seemed to change. Service periods became longer, and the work became shoddier. On my last visit I had the spark plug cables replaced on my Jeep. When I picked it up it immediately began to misfire, but since it was closing time on a Friday just before a holiday weekend, I had no choice but to drive it home. After less than a mile it began missing became so severe that feared I wasn't going to make it. When I was able to get another appointment a week later, I was told I needed to replace the spark plugs even though I had no indication of that before the cable replacement. When asking how the tech had missed the significant misfires during his test drive after installing the cables, I got more than a bit of attitude from the staff. Attempting to ascertain why a vehicle displayed more problems after a repairs than before was a reasonable question from a loyal customer, but their unwillingness to provide an answer ultimately led me to seek another auto shop. This was disappointing. Daniel's is conveniently located and my experiences there in previous years had been good. I still have neighbors who swear by this auto shop and my recent negative experience should not deter you from giving them a try. But, if at all possible, I suggest that you deal with Daniel directly. Good luck.

I am not satisfied with the service I received. When I initially took my vehicle to you on December 4th, my check engine light was on and my radiator fluid was leaking. I advised I only wanted the issue that led to my check engine light and leak to be fixed because that's all I could afford at the time. I was told it was the cause was the Intake Manifold Gasket. The total came to $5005.22 I got a call saying my vehicle was ready and I picked it up on December 17th (8 days after drop-off). I was told to check engine light was still on and they're not sure why, but they drove the car and everything is fine. I drove my car to enterprise to drop my rental back off and then to the grocery store. While on the freeway, to the grocery store, the car shut off. The coolant and engine overheating warming lights came on. (The issue I just paid $5005.02). I called your shop twice and no answer and then I sent an email. December 18th I received a call back and was advised they will come to my house and pick my truck back up. Two men came and picked my truck up. I got a call December 19th. Stating it was now the heat module management/unit that needed to be replaced which came out to another $1078.54. My car was picked up December 18. I did not receive my car back until January 7th. I was told twice before this date that I was going to get my car back. I ended up having to spend $726 for a rental car. My issue is I had to pay $2000 just to get my car taken apart and I wanted whatever the major issue was to be fixed. According to you, it was the intake manifold gasket, nothing else. The fact that I paid $2000 and the heat module management/unit was not identified as needing to be fixed/replaced, I feel like I got extorted. My car was not a priority even after I said I had a rental car, my car was at your shop for 23 days in total. January 7th, 2026 I picked my car up and I have been doing minimal driving. January 10th the check engine light is back on again. (The issue I just paid a total of $6083.56). Not including rental cars charges of $726. At this point I do not want to take my truck back because it is apparent and I mean no disrespect that your shop does not know how to fix my vehicle. I would like some of my money back.
