DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO THIS PLACE. This business is run out of the back of All Around Tire…read more The owner, Cliff Charman and the other owner, Laura Zachelmeyer are scam artists and will take your money and not fix your automobile correctly. I took my car in June 2012, they told me the repair would be $2200. And would be done in about a week. It took almost a month. And this was with having to keep calling - which they dont return calls, and stopping in for the horrible customer service. At one point of this process, I was told it was done. They took my money left the shop, I started my car and the check engine light came on. Cliff actually said to me well, I did the best I could and I could just take my car somewhere else. I told him he could fix my car correctly or give me my money back. He actually told me he did the work and wouldnt give me my money back!! I said I would sue him. Two weeks later my car was done and seemed to be fine. During this almost a month of not having my car, I also had to pay for a rental car out of my own pocket.. Another $500 dollars.. Until Friday 10-26-12. 3.5 months later... It broke down again!!! I took it to a reputable transmission shop and was told and shown that the axle shaft had been broken that they person that installed my transmission (Complete Auto Repair Service) had not tightened the bolts because the ones that were still in there were loose and almost all of them were missing. Also, the heater bypass hose was sealed off with a nut because he didnt have the right part and also a hose was installed incorrectly off the side of the transmission and I was shown were is was leaking. It is now costing my an additional $750 dollars in order to get my car working properly. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. I am appalled that All Around Tire would allow a business to perform shabby workmanship out of their shop. They may not have anything to do with one another but it is his name that made me think I could trust someone working out of his establishment.

He is a diligent worker, honest businessman and genuinely enjoys helping people with their car troubles. He seems to get satisfaction from solving automotive problems and getting people up and running again, and as such it is great to see someone that enjoys their work so thoroughly. While I have taken my car to him many times, usually it is for service rather than an emergency repair, in every instance his knowledge and positive demeanor is unmatched by any other auto service I've visited. Never once have I thought he might be over-quoting something purposely or raising the costs of parts just to supplement himself, practices I have witnessed at other auto repair businesses. In short I wished I lived closer now so that I could continue to use his services!

I have used Norm for some 9 years; I learned of his business by word-of-mouth from my neighbor…read more Norm is the most efficient, reliable mechanic I've run across. Norm has done major work (replaced transmission with a less-expensive "used' one.) He also diagnosed a major oil leak as needing a $700. repair; however, when he got into the work, he discovered that he had made an incorrect diagnosis, and the repair would be about $500 less than originally thought. What a treat to find someone who not only is knowledgeable but also honest with his customers! Nobody is disappointed with Norm! David G.

I explained the issue to Dave and dropped the car off. He never gave me a written estimate of the cost of repairs to fix the issue, but proceeded to take most of the engine apart and car parts (filters, wipers, license plate light etc.) and sent me photos of the parts on the shop floor. Without authorization or an estimate he proceeded with replacement of parts that he decided to replace amounting to $1000. According to B.A.R., repair shops are required to give you a written estimate to sign before beginning any repairs . Now, two days later, the Maintenance Required light is on after $1000 payment for work that was not authorized.
