    This review gives me no pleasure to write given that in the past I have written an excellent one…read more I have spent many thousands of dollars at Aaron's Autowerks repair shop over the years, and my last few visits were financially damaging. Things changed after Doah left the company as manager. He used to make sure that everything was completed well and properly as promised. My Range Rover is hard to adjust. Some are. That is not my fault. I have repeatedly had to bring it back because of quirks not corrected or, more commonly, because certain final adjustments were forgotten by the mechanics time and time again (resetting things such as the idle speed). Usually they took care of such things immediately but I had to get rides for some things or take extra time to deliver the car and wait. That was frustrating. It happened repeatedly. A year ago I spent great deal of money to fix a fair number of problems, most of which were handled well (faulty electric windows, etc). However, I had to bring my car in several times to fix a power assist vacuum brake problem that made the 3 ton SUV dangerous to drive. Multiple times I had to have Aaron's fix an air suspension valve problem ( see below), and, strangely an expensive Xenon headlight bulb that supposedly went out while in their care with the new one seemingly less bright than the old. Within a number of months it too went out. It is still out. Only rarely were there apologies, usually from the ex-manager or the mechanic both of whom are very nice. I was made to feel like a 'problem' customer at times despite always being polite correct in finding their errors. I did not appreciate that either. Where the suspension issue was concerned, Aaron, the owner, knowing how much I had spent on other repairs kindly found me a used air suspension valve at the car facility next door, taken off an old Range Rover that had sat outside unused for years, and he put it in without asking me first or making clear to me any warrantee issues. His motivation for that, however, was good: he was trying to save me $400. However, it immediately went wrong and after at least five failed electronic resettings and a refitting, he would not stand by the product or work and told me that a new one was the only way to fix it and that it would exceed $1,200 (installed) after I had already spent $800-$900! He then steadfastly refused to look up or find out from others if my car was still safe to drive given that I had a permanent dashboard computer warning regarding the suspension fault. It affects handling, gas mileage and towing. It has yet to be fixed. Several attempts were also made to find a persistent drain on my battery. Eventually, a fuse was removed to a faulty headlight wiper motor. That did not fix the drain. So, between the multiple visits for failed brake assist vacuum line work, air suspension repair, and the battery drainage problem, not to mention the years-long lasting Xenon headlight bulb being replaced which subsequently went out again within a few months, I have been unable to drive my car at night, unable to tow my trailer, have had to drive slowly by day not knowing if my suspension is safe, and I was dismissed rudely from the store without any support at all for the clearly faulty air suspension valve that had been put in in good faith but without my prior permission and which had never worked! I have been a customer of Aaron's Autowerks for years, spending thousands of dollars there. We had never before had a disagreement nor has there ever been a rude word spoken in either direction. I was and remain extremely disappointed in the way that I have been treated. And I have held off this review because I genuinely like them as people. I have since been directed to other high end mechanics, although I have not yet been able to double pay on these still persistent malfunction issues that have already been paid for. Needless to say I am very disappointed in the quality of work and their attitude although I do like everyone who works there, including the owner. Jeremy Goodwin, MS, MD

They replaced my breaks, and a broken light but they also made a point to tell me my suspension was on its last legs. I was worried about the time commitment, but they had it ready in a days time. Thanks for keeping this machine in tip top shape!

    Got my entire long block machined and assembled by dean, I went to lindvig because all the other…read moreshops in the valley were full and had a friend recommend me. Got a quote by a well known machine shop that backs their work and told him there quote and time period. He said they over quoted me on price, and we agreed he could do it for less and take his time. Take his time he did, three months later and a list of excuses and the bill was 30-40% more than target. I paid it without complaint because respect people's time and work. I then had a very trustworthy shop go through start up and break in procedures. With less than an hour of run time on BR driven break in oil and lot of assembly lube, bearings 1/4 spun and the motor began to knock. We pulled the pan inspected everything and there was no damage. We then did what any one would do, put acl race bearings in to see if the different material would seat (hoping the crank wasn't cut wrong) after re assembly with lots of assembly lube and more BR driven break in oil (roughly $200 in wasted oil). After starting and running for is than a couple minutes began to knock again (spun bearing 1-4). Still waiting on a response from Dean not sure if there will be one. I would say if ur in a pinch and don't mind getting over charged and underdelivered, he can bore cylinder, deck and tank parts but I wouldn't trust him much outside of that, clearly is unable to cut a crank. I am going to get the crank verified by another shop but all cause seam to point to improper machining. If you want to waste thousands and be set back on your project by a year don't forget to come to lindvig.

    Yelp reviews don't let you leave "no stars." But that's my rating. I'm very disappointed…read more Our 2016 Ford Edge suffered a cracked flywheel, a known recall issue with our model year (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10218899-0001.pdf). The Butler Ford in Ashland service team identified the issue immediately as a recall problem and assured us they could fix it at no cost. That made us happy, as this is an expensive fix (about $3400). But then, after a day of back-and-forth phone calls, they told us that our car was too old for the recall benefit to apply, and we would have to pay the full amount. ' Not even an appeal to Ford's "Goodwill" division made a dent in this decision. So -- there's a known defect in the way the car was manufactured, but Ford refuses to honor it's own customer service recall. It makes no sense. The defect in the car doesn't go away just because the car gets older. It's still there, lurking, waiting to crack the flywheel and make your car inoperable. That's what happened to us, and it could happen to you. We also had to repeatedly ask if we could have a loaner car for our 1-car family to use while this expensive repair was being done. They finally allowed us to rent a car for $30/day. The repair took over a week. There are lots of ways this could have gone to so that Butler Ford of Ashland could keep us as customers. Needless to say, we're very dissatisified. As a result of this experience, we will never buy a Ford again, not from Butler Ford in Ashland, not from any Ford dealer. Ever.

They have now charged $4000+ for various things, and HAVE STILL NOT FIXED WHAT I ASKED THEM TO FIX. They either argue, and pretend they know better, or ignore me completely. If they know better, then why is the issue still not fixed? I have ran the problem through every AI and got the same answer, I've talked to 17 mechanics, all agreed that the issue was what I told them. But these scammers, refuse to do their job. On top of that, I dropped it off with a full tank of gas, took them over a month to get it back to me, and the gas tank was empty? There's no explanation for a full tank of gas to be gone, with them just doing test drives or starting it to idle, they clearly did something else that used a full tank of gas, in a car that's extremely fuel efficient. I'm reporting them to the ASE, and BBB avoid them at all costs

    My 2011 Audi A5 needed to have the front control arms replaced…read more I had read good things about these guys so decided to stop in to see whether they'd be willing to do this repair. I'd gotten an extremely high quote from another Ashland mechanic and was considering doing the work myself. Valley View Auto Repair quoted a very fair - and much lower than the other outfit - price and were able to do the work the next day. When I picked up the car, the bill was less than they had quoted me, as the scope of needed work was less. And the car is perfect again! I really believe these are some honest mechanics that want to do right by their customers. I will be back next time something goes wrong with one of my cars.
