I'd like to share my recent experience at Tom's Family Auto, which began on the morning of Monday,…read moreOctober 13, 2025. That morning, I called the shop to ask if they could assemble a set of struts and replace a CV shaft on my truck. I was told it was no problem, and they began working on the struts. About an hour later, I received a call that they were "finished" and ready for pickup. However, when I arrived, I was told only one strut was complete, and the rest of the crew was out to lunch. The person behind the desk told me to go ahead and take the one strut and begin the work myself, so I did. Upon returning to my truck, I noticed the assembled strut was visibly crooked. I brought it back for correction and picked up the second strut. I assumed everything was resolved at that point, but after installing the struts, I discovered that the driver-side strut was seized and would not compress. It was now late, so I had the truck towed back to the shop for repair and to address the frozen strut. The following day, I called to check on the status of the repair. I was told the strut could be realigned, but I was met with a very poor attitude from the staff and was told I "shouldn't watch YouTube videos to work on my truck." For the record, I had been following manufacturer Technical Service Bulletins and Bilstein's official instructions, I'm also an FAA licensed aircraft mechanic. The next day I was informed the truck was "ready and aligned." Since I was at work, my mother went to pick it up and I paid the bill in full. That evening, when I inspected the truck, I discovered that the front sway bar was missing entirely -- it had not been reinstalled and was still in the bed of the truck, along with the mounting hardware. It had been left lying next to where the strut was they fixed. Despite this obvious omission, the shop had released the truck to my mother, claiming the work was complete and the truck had been aligned. To be clear: They gave us back a vehicle, declared it aligned and finished, despite it missing a 4-foot-long piece of suspension that was clearly provided and noted. There was even a written note in the cab and verbal instructions given on the phone regarding the sway bar and its hardware. These were apparently ignored. I returned the truck that night and left the keys in the drop box. The next morning, I called to ask what happened, and was told that the mechanic who started the job went home, and the person behind the desk -- who I'm not even sure is a certified mechanic -- had "finished" the job. I was later told the sway bar would be reinstalled, but that no new alignment was needed. I have serious doubts about this, given the work that had been done and undone at that point. Not surprisingly, they failed to install my skid plate as well, which was still laying in the bed of my truck with it's hardware when I arrived home from work. At no point was I offered any compensation for the extra day without my truck, the inconvenience of having it towed, or the serious issue of the vehicle being released in an unsafe condition. I was still charged $800. This experience showed a lack of communication, poor workmanship, disregard for safety, and unprofessional behavior from start to finish. I cannot recommend Tom's Family Auto based on this experience. My family and friends will no longer be using this establishment after being loyal customers for over 20 years.

Told the guy I didn't want to argue over the phone because I was with my kid at an event. He continued to be aggressive, so I hung up, then received this text from him. He puts up a great front of being friendly, but this just goes to show how small his ego is. I'm not one to leave reviews but I want everyone to be aware what's under the mask he wears. He's friendly as long as you leave a 5 star review... Here's a copy of my google review: Tried upselling me a front brake job for nearly $400. Told me all my front brakes needed replacing. Just took apart my brakes, pads were completely fine, drivers side rotor and caliper were fine. Only thing that was wrong was my passenger side caliper needed the pins cleaned and lubed, they were sticking just a little causing more heat on the rotor. Took me less than an hour to fix and just a $12 bottle of lube from autozone. Didn't need all new parts to replace everything like they tried to tell me. In my own experience I went for one small thing and they tried upselling for multiple things. They also tried to sell me new rear struts for $700, they told me they were leaking. Checked them myself and had another mechanic take a look and they were completely fine.

One even said not to trust anyone who said thy COULD work on foreign cars. I settled on Dan's Auto cuz it was close to where we were staying and cuz of the other reviews here.

Dan did some checking on his own and told me he agreed it sounded like that was the problem. He did some was able to give me an estimate to replace the transmission with a used one - if that turned out to be what was wrong I had to have the car towed. Dan was awesome about staying in touch with me to let me know the status. The price was well within the estimate and, in the few minutes I've driven it since I picked it up, I'm wildly impressed!! He underpromised and over delivered!!! That makes great business sense to me..... The shop was NOT like a showroom. I'm happy my charge didn't include making a fancy place!

After examining the situation Vito explained that that repair is typically very difficult and usually winds up with having to replace the steering rack as well as the hose because of the way it is assembled. He gave me a ballpark figure of around $1,800.00 and also recommended that the sway links be replaced. He had shown me that they were pretty well shot a while back. I needed the car BADLY by Monday, (it was Thursday afternoon) he said he couldn't guarantee I would get it back by then. He called Sat. afternoon to say the car was fixed, he managed to get the part out without having to replace the rack AND saved me $1,000.00 to boot. He also brought the car to me, and I took him back to the shop so I could test drive it and I had no way to get there to pick the car up. TALK ABOUT GOING THE EXTRA STEP!! VITO IS THE MAN!!!
