Ed greeted me with a smile, and offered to perform a N/C complete professional inspection of my vehicle since I was a new client. He found that I needed a AC Condenser Unit because it was leaking. I scheduled it for replacement His wife Tracey (nice lady) sent over my inspection report with pictures. The report showed the leaking condenser unit and also he noticed a leaking CV Axle. His inspection was very thorough and he checked EVERYTHING. He also replace a bulb in the upper tail light assy and did an oil change. I mentioned to Tracey that my dog had to be put down. They even gave Annie and I a sympathy card for our dog. Nice ! I recommend Awesome Automotive for a great repair experience ! Thanks Ed Thank you Tracey

They kept my car for almost 3 months. Had to badger them for updates. Finally when they told me the car was fixed at a hefty price I was happy to have my car back. Thirty days later my car started to violently shake and the check engine came back on. I took it back to Awesome Automotive in May. It's the middle of September and I still don't have any idea of what's going on. They do not call to update me and when I call I get a voice mail. When I visit the shop they tell me they are close to solving the problem?!?! This is ridiculous and yes I have a warranty.

The manager dude there (Who I assume is Gabe Strada, the guy who owns the place?) was incredibly nice, and took me out to the shop to show me everything wrong with the car that they were going to replace before doing any work on it. This sort of thing is ultra-reassuring, as I basically walked in there and was like, "I've got no idea what's wrong, my mom says it makes noise on the rear passenger side." They could've gone wild telling me stuff was bad and needed to be replaced, and I'd never have known. Instead, they re-used as much as they could, replaced what couldn't be salvaged, and I was off and on my way. Originally I was a little weary when I took the car in, as they told me they were just going to check the whole car when I started explaining the problem. Usually, you go somewhere that "checks everything" and you walk out with more problems than you came in with. Not the case here, they noted the AC wasn't working, and I was like "Oh, yeah, I don't think it's ever worked." Gabe (I think?) asked if I wanted to risk $20 to try to fix it, and threw a can of freon in just to see what'd happen. Sure enough, ice cold AC. I seriously just love shops like this that have that kind of attitude of "Hey, this isn't working, let's try a super simple fix that doesn't cost much, and see what happens." Again, that's another repair that they probably could've sold me on a new compressor or who knows what else. Overall, a totally pleasant surprise, and I'll be going back to them as long as they're open. How often can you say you took your car to a mechanic and they fixed your problem way faster than you expected for a fraction of what you were thinking you'd have to pay? For me, this is definitely a first.

This location has been bought by Firestone, and this review is not targeting C&C…read more TLDR: This is an incredibly dishonest auto shop, and could have put my family and I at risk due to negligence and deceit. Take your car somewhere else. I went in for an oil change and hadn't had any work done for awhile, so I expected a lot to be uncovered in the inspection. They came back and told me that my brake pads/rotors and struts/shocks needed to be replaced. Specifically they told me the front brake were at less than 4mm and needed to be replaced ASAP, the back brakes were at 5mm and could wait 3 - 4 months, and there were "rust rings" in my rotors so they would also need to be replaced. They quoted me a little over $3,500 for everything. I know a little about cars and have mechanics in the family, so I ran everything by them first. 1) We decided to do the brakes ourselves (my uncle worked at a brake shop). We found that there was no issue with the rotors in what they described as "rust rings". Saved a few bucks there. The front pads were at about 4mm, so they likely did check those. We got to the back brakes, and had to use a sledge hammer to get the tires off (indication that they didn't take them off to check). When we got the pads off there most almost nothing left, and they were about to start grinding the rotors. Another indication that they lied about checking them because there was certainly not 5mm left. 2) I took my car to another shop to have the struts/shocks looked at after realizing the lies this Firestone told about the brakes. I had noticed the cars handling was a bit spongey and bouncy, so seemed like it could be true. The next shop actually test drove the car, and found the issue wasn't the struts/shocks, rather 3/4 tires had broken belts. This Firestone clearly did not check the car thoroughly and lied about the issues I was having to milk me for money. The scariest part about this is that broken tire belts increase the risk for blowouts at high speed. So I could have put $3,500 into my car, and still had something catastrophic occur that could have caused injury to my family, me or someone else. Not much else needs to be said about this business.

Stay away. They OVERCHARGE and do the job badly. They put the wrong drive shaft bracket on our…read moretruck, so there was a lot of play in the drive shaft, causing a major vibration through the whole vehicle. They also put on 8 after market, poor quality cab mounts between the frame, making the whole cab feel like you were riding on metal. When we brought it back because of the vibration, they did a full inspection and couldn't figure out where it was coming from, even though it was their fault and charged us more. We spent at least $10,000 for motor work, the drive shaft, etc! $6,800 of that went to bullet proofing the engine (which means there will be no more leaks). The truck had to go back MULTIPLE times because it wouldn't stop leaking. J told me the engine would still have problems even after they finished their work. After paying $6,800 to "bullet proof" an engine, there should be no more problems! They also put in a steering wheel box and didn't tighten down the adjuster nut, so while my boyfriend was driving, he was having to turn the wheel to the right and left, 12 inches each time, just to keep the vehicle straight. He had to drive like that for 13 hours. Even worse, when we got the truck back after many of their "repairs", they returned it with a broken tail light, dented hood and dented quarter panel. So unprofessional! They held on to our truck for months and this is how they returned it to us. While this might be an easy stop for a lot of people that are local, I recommend you skip it and go to a qualified mechanic. Don't say I didn't warn you.
