I'm not a big reviewer, but in this case I can't pass on sharing my experience with others. I…read morerecently had the fuel pump go out on my GMC. Due to my circumstances it was somewhat of a crisis for me. I had my vehicle towed to JR's shop. Simply put, it was the best decision I could have made. JR was quick, but thorough in his diagnosis of my problem, very understanding of my situation as well. When he received the parts we ordered for replacement, he was very honest and up front about how the quality of the replacement parts did not meet his standard, and he was not ok with putting them in my vehicle. JR explained a couple of alternatives for me, and helped me find a solution. If you're looking for someone with the highest professional skill with excellent character and integrity to take care of your vehicle, look no further than JR. I know I won't. Can't thank you enough, man. -Josh H.

Pulled into a gas station at the Alabaster exit and a State Trooper told us about a good repair shop a short distance away. Tried to make it to the shop and ended up having to call a tow. The tow truck was from A to Z he hooked us up safely and put us in the cool air conditioned tow truck and hauled us to their shop. This all happened on Friday afternoon at 3:00 pm! They got us in quickly, accessed the situation and ordered parts. The staff at this shop are amazing. Welcomed us in gave us cold water and snacks if we were hungry. The best part is the owner was on vacation and the secretary called him repeatedly to get instructions as how to handle our repair. He was very considerate of the fact we wanted to get home, he paid for a mechanic to stay late and fix our truck once they could get the parts. He stayed in touch with us and kept us apprised of the progress,. Bottom line we got our truck repaired and back on the road that evening and made it back to Florida. Can't thank the staff and the owner of this shop enough . Best service and turned a bad situation into a good one. Highly recommend this Shop. Thanks guys

Park back there next to all of the cars and go into the small door by the garage. Literally as soon as you step in, the office is on your left. Fuentes is a great guy. He is Hispanic and does have an accent, so if you are hard of hearing like me, please don't be like me and forget your hearing aids lol But he came right on out, inspected my car and showed me exactly what the problem was all right there in the parking lot. He didn't do what most mechanics do, take your car back and hide what they are doing, then come out expecting you to pay outrageous fees. Fuentes gave me an estimate that was almost the exact total I ended up paying. Very fair price. He let me stay in his office while he worked on my car and popped in a few times to check on me and let know how it was going. Once he was finished, he even took me out and showed me everything he had done on my car and explained things to me. Very honest guy. I will be back if I have any more problems with my car. Update: I will forever be grateful for this guy. He always goes above and beyond his duty. My car broke down more than once while I was living here, and if it wasn't for him, I would not have been able to get my car fixed and still go to work and class. More than once Fuentes dropped everything to give me a ride to a rental car place or to a store to get car parts for my car. In this day and age, people won't even try and will just leave you with no help. I am forever grateful for his big heart and hard work. May God bless you and your family!

Tire Replacement I would not recommend Mavis Tire in Calera,…read moreAL. I used them when the first opened and had a great experience. However, my recent experience was very disappointing. I called Mavis to get a tire replacement to match the ones I had previously purchased there, but they had no record of my previous service. So, I schedule a service online, but when I arrived, they had no record of the appointment. The employee I dealt with didn't seem to know how to use the system and quoted me $75.00 higher than the online appointment quote- even though I had the reservation # and exact service details in the email conformation. It was a complete waste of time. I ended up going to a competitor and reviewed the same exact service quoted in my email for $200 less -$275 less than the in store employee quoted.

Still finished within a couple hours. The price was a little more than Zi thought he quoted, but not a big deal Would come here again.

He installed a new starter on my vehicle and told me that it had a lifetime warranty. That was not true. He told me to call the vendor where he purchased it from and they would be able to honor the warranty once I give his business name. That was not accurate. He also told me that he could find nothing wrong with my Infiniti and made me pay for a full inspection. Turns out, I found out that I needed a fuel pump. I gave him grace for a while, but was disappointed when he did not honor that lifetime warranty and he was unbothered about it. @Terri, this further confirms your lack of integrity or care for your customers due to this account being under my maiden name.
