      Very happy I gave this mechanic shop a try. Vehicles are out of my personal knowledge base so I…read moretypically have my husband make decisions with me. After bringing my Trailblazer here I would feel completely comfortable making the decisions on my own. (see photos) They give a comprehensive file with pictures and additional insight to the problems, which is extremely helpful. There were a few questions I had about a couple recommended issues and Pete (who completed my inspection report) was able to clarify them with ease and honesty, so I was able to save money on not having to do that repair. It was more of a riding comfort suggestion so it wasn't a big deal since it doesn't bother me. I received a link to the reports via text and e-mail. For the estimate, you can go down the list, which included each cost, and just click "approve" if you want it done which is very convenient when you are at home. If you have questions call! Like I said above they are very easy to talk to and there was never any feel of pressure. Being pregnant during COVID is a concern but the inside was very clean including the shuttle service vehicle and I was very comfortable being there. They have a drink station there or Dunkin Donuts is next door. I also thought it was neat that they have a big picture window with bar height stools and counter that you can watch the mechanics in the shop. I don't think I've ever seen that before. After the repairs, I called around for other pricing estimates and CBA was around what others were. Some areas were less and some were slightly more. One being the fluid flushes. CBA was about $20-30 more expensive. I am a fairly frugal but I would still choose here versus saving $20 somewhere else, especially if you are getting other work done which could equal out the total price. Plus, you have the photos to prove why the repair needs to be done versus someone basically telling you to trust them.. This is now our first choice for automotive repairs. Good job Christian Brothers Auto, you exceeded my expectations.

Negative: lack of weekend times means you need to make transportation arrangements if you work 5 days / week. They have a shuttle service but I had to be doing several stops that day, so I did not ask how wide range it covers.

      Yes, service is requested to replace the rivets with black rivets that all match and are flush with…read morethe wheel trim. Tires Plus apparently slapped on whatever they could find at the time. Rivets within wheel well skirt were simply left off and not reinstalled. The wheel well skirt is loose and flopping around. Nearly $1,400 in shock replacement work done and this is the best they could do? Not acceptable. We called after noticing the white rivets. The person at the front desk denied any knowledge of anything. Lastly, after replacing all four shocks and all four tires with brand new tires, we were told by the manager Damian that the "Jeep Death Wobble" would stop. A month later It did not stop and was just as bad as before all of the above was replaced. We found a reputable and knowledgeable mechanic who replaced the tie rods. That has fixed the Jeep "Death Wobble." Tires Plus should have recommended that we go to a mechanic that could have checked the tie rods first before Tires Plus charged $1,400 to replace the shocks. Replacing the shocks AND the tires DID NOT solve the problem. The root cause of the problem was the tie rods. We wonder now if Tires Plus did a shotty job installing all four shocks?

After paying we were told our cars year and model has a recall, which would've been nice to know before we paid for the work. Car didn't start the next morning, so we called the dealership and found out there is in fact a recall, and made an appointment. Called tires plus back, talked to Ron and explained my frustrations and he hung up on me after trying to explain the situation. If you're in need of car repair, please, do not go here.

C&J was able to get us in so we could get the diagnosis (the engine was done) and start planning our return. If you ever find yourself stranded far from home, you know how overwhelming it feels. You're in an unfamiliar town, your options are limited, and you're trying to figure out who you can trust. From the moment we talked to C & J Automotive in Aurora, we felt like we were talking to someone who genuinely cared. They delivered the bad news with honesty and kindness. It felt less like dealing with a repair shop and more like having a trusted brother or uncle helping you through a really rough day. They never made us feel pressured or taken advantage of, and they've gone above and beyond to help us coordinate everything while we're back home. The shop itself is warm and welcoming, and the seasonal decorations made me smile on an otherwise awful few days. We are incredibly grateful that this happened in a place with people like the team at C & J Automotive. If you're local or traveling through the Iron Range and need someone you can trust, this is the place to go.

They are helpful and honest and do great work!!

Also, they are professional and good at what they do.

      Do not go here if you don't want to be lied to. Especially michael the so called manager that…read moreshould be fired at the least. A repair that was told to my warranty company would take a week or less took 15 days. When I was finally called to pick it up after making excuses for their so called Master Honda Tech obviously never test drove my car. Because when I got in after them emphasizing I owe 100.00 for my deductible of which I had paid. Even though their lies cost me wuite a bit of money. If they would have rest drove it they would have got same result. They didn't. I brought it back because it did the same exact thing when I had it towed to them. Michael was aware I'm having issues with all this he apologized for supposedly not plugging my air-conditioner and and another wire. Apologized then sent me on my way. About a few miles away when was getting on the freeway. Same as when was told engine light flashing. I called told michael. He said bring it in. I asked about the spark plugs that they never changed. Michael said they took them out and cleaned them. Asked about coils I advised I got from Auto Zone. He said that's probably why then. He said he would have to charge a diagnostic fee. About 170.00. I advised I'll just go buy from dealership. He quoted me about 1,000.00 to put in the Ignition Coils of which I did in less then 30 minutes. This guy adter waiting almost 2 hours of which I walked outside a few times and saw my car with hood down no one in it or engine hood open. They saw me a few times then decided to tell this BS. Michael said he has to pay his mechanic for the time. This is the same guy that called me a liar about what Tyler who I had always was getting information about my car told me I would get my car back. Make a long story short. He had me give them a 5 star rating and he would discount my repair bill. So that's why this location looks so great. The so called manager is less then honest. That Firestone is less then honest. Just a money grab location. Find any other place but there. Honestly. Also Check your so called masterHonda tech. Laughable. Didn't test drive the car. Just replaced parts. Also lied to my warranty company that's not always honest because of a warranty. Tyler was fine. Didn't seem like he was being less then honest. I actually want my 85 79 credited to my card. I was made to give you a 5 star to reduce the fee I never should have been charged. Their diagnostic wasn't right when got the approval of which they got paid 3,000.00 while lying to Silver Rock. I Refund my money. I hate dishonest people. Especially when we are struggling and you are stealing. You know who this is. Refund my money by Friday August 14th. Or I'll be there in person on August 15th. Have a day. Hopefully you take this serious.

      Words truly cannot describe how much I appreciate and love Ray's Car Shop! As a woman, finding a…read moretrustworthy car shop has always felt like a nightmare--you never know how you'll be treated or if someone will try to take advantage. From the very first visit, everyone at Ray's made me feel welcomed, respected, and valued. Katie at the front desk is such a breath of fresh air. She's incredibly kind, transparent, and upfront about everything she knows. She never tries to upsell or pressure customers into unnecessary work, which is so rare in this industry. Her honesty alone gave me confidence that I was in the right place. I originally came in with my 2017 Mercedes AMG after becoming completely frustrated with the regular Mercedes dealership. Their outrageous quotes and unnecessary suggestions made it clear that their only priority was money, not the customer. After doing a ton of research, I decided to take a chance on Ray's--even though it meant driving all the way from Bloomington, MN--and I am so glad I did! Ray himself is one of the most genuine and meticulous mechanics I've ever met. He was honest with me about what needed to be done, careful with my car as if it were his own, and never once made me feel pressured. The entire experience was so positive that I immediately started recommending Ray's Car Shop to everyone I know. Now, I don't just bring my Mercedes here--I also trust Ray and his team with my Toyota. That says a lot, because once you find a shop this reliable and sincere, you stick with them for life. I can't thank Ray and his team enough for their honesty, professionalism, and the peace of mind they've given me. If you're looking for a car shop that truly cares about you and your vehicle, Ray's is the place to go!

I've been his customer for a number of years, and every job he's done on my truck has been top notch. I have a story to emphasize his honesty. I recently had a few "nagging issues" that I asked him to estimate for me. One of the issues, a loss of fluid problem, was initially estimated well north of a $1,500 dollars to fix. The truck has over 300,000 miles on the clock, so you sort of expect those things, but this one was "one I could live with", so I deferred that repair until my budget would allow. Meanwhile Ray had the truck for another issue "in the vicinity" of that loss of fluid problem. Contrary to his original diagnosis, his other work around that problem area uncovered a hidden loosened tubing connector. A couple of wrench turns (free gratis), and we're able to discard that expensive estimate. I've been in shops before where I might have never been informed of that discovery, and would have paid for the original estimate.
