Went to get an emissions test around 2pm. Workers were too busy talking with each other and didnt bother to check the front desk where id been sitting for 45 to an hour minutes waiting on someone. Ended up leaving since no one thought it was a good idea to check the lobby where customers come in. read more

So, I've been going to schetters for years. These new people took it over. I thought "New generation" meant from the same family I figured they would have the same values. But I'm here to warn you. I've had a very distressing experience today. I spent $880 in cash to get my brakes front brakes front rotors and front wheel bearings. I got a discount for cash and I thought this was a really good price. Previously I had been to the new generation version of this shop to replace my muffler and they did a great job and gave me a great price so I was pretty confident going in. When I got my car back it was pulling to the left to the point where if I let go of the steering wheel I'm doing donuts. I asked them to please fix it and they told me to bring it in but they did not do alignment. My argument is that if you're doing a job that requires an alignment why would you do the job in the first place if you can't do alignment? On top of that they told me after they looked at it that the spring was broken and it would take $550 to replace it. Mind you this is how it was driving the second I pulled out of the shop. Within 10 minutes of me driving away the check engine light comes on. I checked the code it's a large evap leak. I've had this car for many years and I've never had a problem with the EVAP leak. Replace the gas cap still there's a problem. I asked them to look at this when I brought it in and they said they had to replace all these parts and that would cost over $600. From my point of view they damaged my car and are trying to ask me for money to fix the damage that they did. They fixed some things and broke some things and are trying to get me to pay to fix the things they broke. Which from other anecdotal experiences seems like a situation where I am being scammed. When I went to the shop before it was taken over by the new generation they would never have done this. Not in a million years. In fact one time I had my radiator replaced and when I went home I was still having problems when I brought it back they said it was the thermostat that also needed to be replaced and they did that for free because they had missed it and did not quote me on it. Also if for any reason something goes wrong after the work that they did especially if I'm driving home I would bring it back and they would fix it. They always told me this. I need to warn people not to go here. This is classic scamming issue with mechanics what they are doing. If it wasn't they would fix their own mistakes. And it really sucks that they use the name to piggyback off of the good reputation of the original Schetter's. read more

They literally had my car for a month. I paid $140.00 for a tow. I left the sensor that was to be replaced in the passenger seat. They literally never worked on my car. I am a single mother of six that was swindled out of tow money. Never go here. I was never even given a diagnoses or anything. I had to pay to tow it again and just now figured out I got toyed with. read more

I've always been treated fairly and honestly by the people who run this shop. They have always followed through with their promises - if they say my car is going to be done by a certain time, it is done by exactly then if not earlier. I have recommended their shop to family and friends, and all have had the same experience. This is a good, decent small business and I know you will be very happy with them. read more

While I have generally had my cars serviced by dealerships because my cars were under warranty over the last several years, there have been a few times when I have needed service quickly or outside of warranty. Neighbors had recommended Schetter's and I am so glad they did. I have had good experiences each time I have used their services. They are knowledgeable, fair, and professional. I mention the dealership thing above because if you are looking for a complimentary latte bar and Wi-Fi lounge, this isn't the place. But if you are looking for a place where you can trust their knowledge, honesty, and pricing, Schetter's is the place. read more

First time going here today. They get you in as soon as possible and don't rip you off. Will definitely be bringing my vehicle here for anything in the future. read more

This is my go-to place to go for my car. Ken worked really hard to find the most inexpensive part for my car and had it ready for me in no time. Also, they work really hard to get you in on the same day/ASAP. Very hardworking crew, definitely recommended! read more

I once had a full review drafted for Schetter's but unfortunately I had to wipe it clean after having some rather unfortunate experiences. A couple months ago I took my car here for some work. What I thought was going to be an expensive fix with the starter came back with some minor adjustments, no charge, and I was told to come back if the problem continued. A few weeks later the probably continued... I popped back in and had the starter replaced. Went to pick up my car and the service engine soon light kicked on along with some blue smoke coming from the exhaust. I had Schetter run the diagnostic and it turned out the O2 sensor was bad and the battery cables needed to be tightened. As I continued to talk to the owner, it came out that when he sent the starter into the company who ran a test that said it wasn't bad in the first place. If he would have checked the batteries at first, I'm sure it would have solved the car-not-starting problem. So I began wondering - why did he replace it? He was kind enough to refund the labor but said since I had a new starter, I would need to pay for that. Fine. I priced out some other places for the O2 sensor and Schetters still came out with the best price. He said it wasn't urgent but it would definitely need to be replaced. A week later I stop in and drop off my car. I say I need my O2 sensor replaced and also a new rear sway bar. The shop says it'll be done the next day. The next day I call. It's ready. I pick it up. They charge for the O2 sensor but said they never replaced the sway bar. They say I can come back and they'll install it without labor. I take my car home.... the service engine soon light came on. I call back and learn that the O2 sensor was sitting in the shop and they never installed it. Needless to say I was far away from being pleased. I'd like to note that he did only charge for the O2 sensor and comped the sway bar cost and labor. I expected that. But what I don't expect is someone completely missing and installation on a vehicle. Prices here are good and honest but I'd prefer not to go back here with these errors. read more

The only place I'll take my cars. I brought my 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara in which was leaking gas. First of all they haven't sold Suzuki's in the US in almost a decade. So I'm aware getting parts can be difficult. Ken managed to create a custom gas line and fitting for FAR less than I expected, I almost wanted to pay more because I got it back the next day! They always find what's wrong and nothing more, I know I'm saving money when I go to these guys. read more

Great guys! Great Shop! Great work! Go there! Most reliable service center I have ever had!!

Stopped in with my '98 S-10. Not only did they check it out right away, they got it in for repairs that day. Had a bunch of front end work done, and the bill was half what I expected. I highly recommend them over those chain shops, a couple of which I've tried. read more

Very honest opinions on all repairs. They only do what needs to be done. Yes, they have all the faults of a one man company, Ken plus his mechanics. They are competent, and honest, rare in auto repair circles. "Neat and clean" would get a 5 star rating. read more

Can't beat the price or service. Ken is honest, knowledgeable, and won't overcharge. I'm so glad I finally have a reliable mechanic!

Car wouldn't click or turn over. Took it here because the reviews seem mostly positive and it was in my neighborhood. They said I needed a new starter. Ok. They replaced it and it was pretty affordable. Didn't even drive it off the lot and my electrical stuff wouldn't work. Interior lights, heater, etc. they pulled it back in the garage and fiddled with it (this was right at closing time). Got it working and I went home. The next day I realized my airbag light was on. I took it to my old mechanic in my old neighborhood and he said my airbag module was fried and that costs $400+. Called Schetter's and was like "hey, you fried my module. Can you replace it?" They said, that the electrical components that they had messed up were not even on the same circuit as the airbags. I said, "so it is a giant coincidence that it broke right when you had my car in your shop?" He was like, "Uh, yeah." I said, "doesn't that sound a little unbelievable to you?" And he was, "Yes, but we didn't break it". Fast forward 2 years and my car is STILL plagued with days of not starting several times a year. After several different mechanics and multiple new parts I towed it to the dealership (second time). I need a new starter. I told them that the starter is two years old. They said that the starter Schetter's put on was NOT new, but refurbished. And it wasn't the correct type of starter for my car and the wires connecting it were spliced with another connector to make it work. And it no longer worked. $800. They must have put in any old starter they had laying around. So, not only did they NOT fix the problem I originally had, they cost me $1200 in additional repairs. read more

Finding an auto mechanic that is honest, affordable and capable is rare. If I had an Olympic gold medal for auto repair, I'd award it to Ken Schetter. He went above and beyond to assist me when I failed my emissions test. He advised me where I could purchase the necessary parts at the lowest price possible, installed them on his day off and charged reasonably for labor. Schetter's Automotive Repair charged me half the price other mechanics in the area estimated for the same job and parts. If you want honest, affordable and capable service look no further than Schetter's. read more

Extremely professional and knowledgeable man who has top notch mechanics working for him. Will not lead you astray or preform unnecessary repairs. I have all three cars in my family up kept at Schetter's Auto and will never go anywhere else. read more
