Where to even start.
My friend and I were driving from Michigan to Cleveland. My car broke down as we were paying the toll, and we had to push it into the employee parking lot at the toll booth. It was the middle of the night on a Saturday, and we were already late getting to our hotel, so I was getting quite cranky. I called roadside through my insurance, and the first tow truck driver told me he wouldn't come out. So I called back, and they sent the call to Pro Automotive. I am SO glad they did.
First, the driver took the time to listen to the symptoms of my car and helped me determine that I needed a tow, not just a jump. (All signs were pointing to the alternator, but I was in denial.) So he came out and towed us back to the shop. I was apprehensive about letting a random shop work on my car, but he assured us that Rami would take good care of the car. (As a woman, I'm always wary of getting ripped off when it comes to car repairs.) I checked their Google reviews, and was frankly shocked at how many great reviews they had. So, I agreed to leave the car with them and they would look at it Monday morning, and then they drove us out to our hotel. Seriously, who does that anymore? We were so relieved to at least get to where we were going I could have cried.
Fast forward to Monday morning. I called at 10:30, just to get a sense of where we were at on time since checkout at our hotel was noon... and Rami told us to come on over to get it! I was stunned that he was ready so soon. When we got to the shop, everything was ready for us. He replaced the alternator, since that was in fact the problem, as well as a belt that I didn't even mention to him but knew was in desperate need of replacing since it had been squealing for a while. The price blew me away--in a good way--especially after doing a little Google research on pricing an alternator replacement. Everything was perfect on my drive home, and I'm confident he did a great job with the repairs. He also gave me a list of other repairs to get done, and since I'm from out of state, I have no doubt they actually need done and aren't just a way to get more money out of me.
Honestly, if I didn't live three hours away, I'd take it back to him to get the rest of the work done. It's a rare situation where a car repair actually becomes a high point in a road trip, but that's exactly what happened. I've told everybody about my experience because I was so pleased with the whole thing.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of us! read more
