The Only Honest Mechanic Left on Earth--And He's at AME Automotive…read more
Are you sitting down? Because I'm about to blow your mind: honest mechanics still exist. And not just honest, but caring, skilled, and genuinely good people. If you're looking for "Bill and Al" at AME Automotive--congratulations, you've found automotive royalty.
I've been taking my cars to Bill since I was 16. I'm 45 now, and AME is still my first (and only) call for anything with wheels. Why? Because Bill and Al are the kind of guys you wish you could clone and send into every shady shop in America. Their word actually means something, and a handshake from Bill is better than a notarized contract. "I got you, you and your family can trust me." And he means it.
Honest pricing? Every time.
No gimmicks? Never.
Random "Oops, we broke something, you'll need a new $1,000 doodad" shenanigans? Absolutely not.
Work done right the first time? Like clockwork.
Bill does most of the work himself because he actually cares if your car runs perfectly. And then there's Al--the encyclopedia of auto parts, walking around quoting part numbers like some kind of gearhead savant. Ask him for a fan belt for an '08 Silverado and he'll say, "2x2 or 4x4?"--because, yes, those are two different belts, and Al's brain somehow holds that info.
My whole family has trusted AME for decades. And they've earned that loyalty every single time.
Quick story:
Once, a helper (no longer there) parked my freshly detailed rims in the mud. I was frustrated but trying to let it go. Bill saw it, immediately apologized, and before I could even say a word, he said, "No payment. The labor, the parts, all on the house. I'm sorry this happened." He even offered to clean the car himself. WHO DOES THAT? Bill does. That's who.
I realized while writing this that I haven't thanked Bill enough. So here it is:
Bill, if you read this--THANK YOU. For your honesty, your integrity, your work ethic, and for running a business the right way. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car, and you've earned every ounce of that trust.
If you're tired of sketchy shops, extra charges, and "mystery repairs," bring your car to AME Automotive. You'll drive away thankful, every single time.
