I went to this place twice, and both times I scheduled an appointment three weeks out. Each time, I…read morearrived on time first thing in the morning and dropped my car off, only to call at 4:30 p.m. (one hour before closing) and be told they had not even brought my car into the shop. I was then expected to leave my car overnight, which was a huge inconvenience, especially since all I needed was a simple oil change and front brake pads. Despite that experience, I decided to give Automotive Concepts Inc. another chance. Once again, I was told I needed to schedule an appointment. This time, I specifically asked to be scheduled on a day that was relatively empty and explained my frustration from the first visit, including having to leave my car overnight. I was assured that this would not be an issue and that they would be able to get to my car since that day was "wide open." I dropped my car off on the scheduled day first thing in the morning and did not hear back from the shop at all. I called again at 4:30 p.m., one hour before they closed, only to be told--once again--that they had not touched the car and it was still sitting where I left it. They started offering excuses, but at that point I was done hearing them. I told them not to touch the vehicle because I was not in a position to leave my car overnight again. When I arrived to pick it up, I was met with attitude. The owner slammed my keys on the counter and made a comment along the lines of "sorry, but I'm not perfect." That response was completely unprofessional. This is a business, with a receptionist and staff. At the very least, someone could have called to say they weren't going to get to the car that day so I could come pick it up, instead of tying up my entire day waiting without a vehicle. My time is money too, and it was completely wasted--twice. If you know you can't get to a customer's vehicle or don't have enough staff to keep up with the workload, don't take the car in. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop.

Besides the long wait and the inconsistent rates, I'm afraid that the mechanics are dishonest and done harm to my car as I was told it had valve cover leaks and i had them replaced not long ago. There is no visible evidence that the car leaks oil. It hasn't before I brought it in. I voiced that it was unreasonable to charge me $21 more for the same as few months ago. They made me wait at least 20 min and then just said "this is life." Extremely unplesant experience and I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there.

I have, since, tried to go back multiple times and each time was told that I needed to come back in 15-30 minutes. Not sure how you run a business that keeps sending customers away.

They were immediately helpful and promised to check out the car and call me before I needed to decide on another night's stay. True to their word, they diagnosed the issue and called me within an hour. I approved the work and they ordered a part from a nearby town. They said it could be end of the day before it was ready but that they'd get me on the road that day. I was prepared for a long sit in the motel office after I checked out of my room, but shortly after noon I got a call that the vehicle was ready. When I paid for the repairs and collected my keys, Don said that they do their best to take care of out-of-towners because they know it's a hardship to be stranded in a strange town. The repair was perfect, and the new battery they recommended should be good for several years to come. I was home in time for dinner. You cannot beat that kind of service and kindness. Highly recommended.

Very rare will you find a business that "helps" someone in need as this shop did. They have earned our business, gratitude and respect. Other Auto-mechanic and Tire shops could learn an invaluable lesson here. That's why we had our truck serviced here and replaced two new front tires.
