After paying over $900 to resolve issue, after service was provided, within 3 days, the engine light came on again. After returning car to resolve issue, they wanted another $400+ dollars with no guarantee that the same issue would be resolved. I instead picked up the car to take to another mechanic that we trust to fix the issue at a reasonable cost. Will never go to this shop again and do not recommend it for anyone else.

I have utilized many different auto repair shops over a course of several decades, with rather…read moremixed results. Some have been competent but many have either done poor work and/or overcharged or suggested unnecessary repairs. Valyant Auto is an outstanding shop. They are honest, have reasonable prices and do excellent work. They are also friendly and take the time to clearly explain what work you need, or don't actually need. This auto repair shop is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it!

My car looks like new!!

I bought an auctioned vehicle a few months ago which needed a bit of work to get it running again…read more Initial inspection after the auction showed that my car needed a new engine belt and a few other small items replaced. At most, it was estimated that my car needed $2k of repairs (engine belts are expensive). It was the holidays and all mechanics near me were swamped. It would take at least 2 weeks before anyone could start working on my car. So I checked online reviews for other well rated mechanics near me. Chuck Scott Auto was located 18 mile from my home and was frequently mentioned online as the best and most affordable garage. They were also the only mechanic in a 25 mile radius that could start repairing my car immediately, so I had my car towed there. I ended up with a hefty repair bill of $3800, which included $225 for a new battery that I didn't authorize (note that my call history didn't show any missed calls from the garage before they added a new battery the day my car was towed back to my home), 2 new engine belts (even though only one needed replacing), new calipers, new rotaries, new brake pads, etc. According to the bill, my car was basically rebuilt. The car started and looked great. I was shocked at the steep bill, but I figured it was worth it to ensure that it safely operated. A few months later, I had issues with steering and the brake pads getting stuck. So I took my car to a local mechanic. They found that my tires had been loosely attached. It was just a matter of time before the tires fell off while I was driving. In the meantime, the improperly balanced tires were wearing away at the new calipers. I mentioned how much work Chuck Scott Auto had done on my car and showed this mechanic the invoice, which was still in the glove compartment. He checked my car for each item listed on the invoice. The 2 new belts? Only one was new; the second was rusted and looked like it was the original. The expensive new battery that I didn't ask for and probably didn't need? It turned out to be a cheap lead acid battery, not the more energy efficient and longer lasting GEM battery. I recalled that during the initial inspection of my car after auction, no one mentioned an issue with the battery. So the mechanic supposed that the original battery was taken to do repairs for another car and I was given a low quality replacement that wouldn't last a year. Ultimately, the mechanic confirmed that I was majorly ripped off. My car didn't have half of the "new" parts listed on the invoice. I strongly advise other drivers to head elsewhere for car repairs.

I took it just up the street to my local repair shop because a hand injury made it difficult for me to put air in the tires. The shop was so nice, we chatted, I pet their dog, it felt good. When they pulled my car out they told me I needed an inspection (true) but that I would not pass it without new breaks (false). I took the car to Hendricks for an oil change and they said the breaks were fine for now but could be replaced when I do the next oil change in 6,000 miles. I'm a 70 year old woman. I feel more sad than angry about this experience. I'm pleased I have Hendrick to work on my car because my car dealer also pulled a similar trick with my last car. A woman friend recommended Hendricks. They are worth crossing the bridge for.
