Curt has both exceptional hands on skills as well as a deep understanding of the nuances of specialized automotive care. Curt very clearly enjoys problem solving to a full resolution and treats the vehicle as if it was his own. Moreover, he does not limit his attention solely to the presenting problem but inspects the entire engine, suspension, electrical and frame to look for future or unrecognized issues. This level of care and at most reasonable pricing makes Classic Auto Works my go to place for peace of mind automotive care. I recommend Curt and Jimmy without reservation.

My car had a bad shake when I stepped on the brake, so he replace my rotors and took my car for a test drive voluntaraly (I can't hardly get most mechanics to do this when asked) to make sure it worked well. Andy said,"It worked good, but would probably be noisy for a few miles because of the coating on the rotors I had purchased." As predicted the noise was gone by the time I got home, and the ride was so much smoother. I was worried my brake pads might have worn prematurely because of the warped rotor, but he said they looked about 90% left so I was all good.

Jonny Prius & EV Repair- Negligence Cost Me an Engine…read moreRating: I am writing this to warn others--especially women--about the costly negligence I experienced at this shop. My car was towed here in November for overheating. I paid $565 for what I was told were the necessary repairs. However, the car overheated again almost immediately because the original problem was never actually fixed. Upon inspection, it appeared the thermostat had never been replaced. Because the shop failed to perform the initial repair correctly, my engine was severely damaged and completely failed, requiring a full engine replacement that cost thousands of dollars. When I went back, the owner tried to quote me $5,000 for a new engine to fix the damage his own negligence caused. I filed a formal complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). Following their investigation, the owner was forced to refund my $565 because he could not produce a single receipt or proof of what work he had supposedly done the first time. I ended up taking my car elsewhere to have the engine replaced. Do not take your vehicle here. Their lack of transparency and failure to perform basic repairs resulted in major mechanical failure for my car.
