Fast and reliable. All questions answered with straight answers. After repairs were done the let me talk to the tech.

South location. Went for an oil change. They broke cap and then made me pay for new one. Didn't fill tires or fill any liquids. No communication on when car would be done. read more

I made a 2:30pm appointment online and A1 Automotive had me in and out in 1 hour. I had checked with another company but they said they couldn't look at my car for 20 days. The staff at A1 automotive are professional, friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and honest. I HIGHLY recommend A1 automotive in Lincoln, NE. I will definitely go there again for more automotive repairs as they occur. Thanks A1!! I really appreciate your great service today! read more

Can't think of much that makes a single person more stressed than making car repair decisions alone. Who do you trust? Is this a good price? Will they get my car done in time for me to get where I need to be? The professional team at A1 answered every question with yes! I can trust them. Pricing is fair. They were done on time. Communication was easy even in the middle of the work day. Tires are not sexy to buy, pretty mundane actually. But when you need them, you need them. A1 had them. Sometimes that's just what you need. And based on the picture: tires were just what I needed. read more

A1 Automotive - Your dad said -- don't drive on a flat tire. Listen to your dad. - Auto Repair Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

They are very helpful but don't tell you about the hidden charges. Took my car in to see what the issues was and charged me $263 just for a brake inspection and quoted me at $1300 for front brake pads/rotators and to flush my power steering fluid. Just purchased whole new brake pads/rotators and hoses plus fluids for $430. I'll just do myself. Also they said they would call me back they never did I had to call them. lucky I did because it sounded like they were just going to fix it without telling me the price. Wouldn't recommend this place unless you have money to spend. read more

Engine started running rough. I called and told them I scanned my vehicle and my scanner said I had a miss-fire on cylinder #6. They tried telling me I needed a timing chain which is approximately a $1200 average expense for my vehicle. I said no and I fixed it myself in an hour with a spark plug and coil pack for $55. I now have a new mechanic. read more

I've left a Google Review from a previous visit about a month ago and wish I could leave them another one on there. A1 is great! I've always had a fantastic experience with them - they are transparent, honest and are really detailed with their explanations. On my most recent visit they did an oil change, fixed my TPMS and the reason my check engine light was on AND did a transmission cleanout. I worked with Emma over the phone to schedule my appointment and when I dropped my car off, Curt answered my questions when I called for an update, and Troy called me when the diagnostics were completed and walked me through their recommendation, and he was there when I picked my car up. A+ experience, thank you A1!! read more

We had A1 Automotive change oil on our SUV. After a couple days I checked oil level on dip stick and showed 1/4" over the "excessive" mark on dipstick. I drained all the oil out and refilled with the correct amount per specs and dip stick registered fine. So, they tech definitely put too much oil in our car which can cause damage to an engine. I called the store manager and brought to their attention. I am giving them a 1 star as I paid for something that was not done right. Would not recommend as if can't do a simple oil change right not sure I would trust doing any major work. read more

A1 Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I have had a multitude of issues with a previous vehicle, and everyone at A1 made my mechanical work a breeze. Everyone there is always nice and comforting. They offer loaner vehicles which is something I had never heard of until I went there. When it is time to pay I never feel ripped off and when I check out they always go over the charges and never make me second guess the work and effort they put into my vehicles. I would recommend A1 to anyone and everyone. They truly are the best mechanic shop in Lincoln! read more

This was by far the best experience I have had at any auto shop! Can't beat the price, and they got it done way faster than anticipated. I appreciate Kendall's help during this whole process. The whole team is super friendly and they are all great, knowledgeable people. Shout out to Chuck and Curt for their work and Cecilia (sorry if I spelled it wrong) for the gift card! Firestone told me my axle was bad, but it was really my wheel bearing. Glad I got them to look at it instead, my car no longer sounds like it's dragging metal I will definitely be coming back to have more work done. Highly recommend A1 to everyone, couldn't have asked for better customer service. read more

Quoted me an extra $800 for a timing belt replacement along with the full cost of the oil pump replacement I needed... they can both be done at the same time, (you literally have to take off the timing belt to get to the oil pump) and the parts all together cost like $150. doing the timing belt would not add that much in labor. Quote was extremely high to begin with. Also suggested of bunch of stuff that wasn't necessary. They act like they're transparent by showing you a picture of something and pointing out something you probably wont understand unless you know enough. I would give them 2 stars because they were fast and I liked the online estimate system, but that's probably why they need to charge to much. read more

I had to get my oil changed before I moved across the country and they fit me in within the next day and did a wonderful job. Also location is great if you work downtown so that you can drop off and pick up without missing work. Staff were great! read more

Initially I had some good service with these guys. I now will be looking for another mechanic. My F150 started running rough and my "service engine soon" light started flashing. I looked it up in the owners manual and it said a "flashing" "service engine soon" light meant the engine was "miss-firing." I scanned it with my personal OBD code reader and got code P0306 "miss-fire cylinder 6." I called A1 to schedule a repair. After I told him my "service engine soon" light was flashing he immediately said that is usually a timing chain problem. I told him I had scanned it and it said miss-fire cylinder 6. He said a timing chain will cause that also. The average cost for timing chain replacement for this vehicle is $1600. I decided to fix it myself, and I didn't have time to diagnose each part so I decided to replace all three... the spark plug, boot, & the coil (under $50) on cylinder 6. I then reset the "service engine soon" light. No additional problems and runs like new. Time for a new mechanic. They are knowledgeable if they want to be but I no longer trust them after this. read more

True, honest professionals, with wonderful customer service. Fixed my tire issues quickly and charged me a fair price. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the Lincoln area. read more

Great service and friendly staff. Our van's alternator went out and even though they were booked they managed to squeeze us in for a diagnosis that same day. The van was ready early the next morning. The location is very convenient for those of us who work downtown. They came highly recommended by friends who are regular customers. Used to go to Firestone until they messed up big time on our van, so it was nice to find a place that is more reliable and also located close to where we work! read more

Took my vehicle to get checked because the check engine light was on. A week later I went and they said I needed a whole new engine, that I wont last much longer. Well went to another place and it just needed to change the spark plugs. read more

My daughter ruined a tire on her CRV. Walmart could get the same tire in 3-5 days. A1 had a tire the next morning and had me in and out in 45 minutes. All within $8 of Walmarts price. This is why you should support local businesses. I would have given Cecilia and the guys 10 stars but Yelp would only let me do five........thank you A1. read more

I had one of the worst experiences I have ever had with a mechanic at this shop, and I've been coming here for years. Took it in Friday for an oil change and diagnostic work. They found out I needed about $900 worth of repairs - I agreed to them and he told me he would have to order the parts and asked if I could bring it in Monday - no problem on my end. I got back in my car and realized he hadn't reset my oil gauge or filled my tires with air - no big deal - he can do it Monday I thought. As I dropped the car off Monday morning I asked the receptionist to make a note about my tires and oil gauge - she did. When I went back to pick up my car I noticed they had only done half of the work they quoted me for. The mechanic blamed me saying he didn't know I wanted all of it done and that it would have taken multiple days to fix. He and I had had a conversation on Friday about payment plans for the $900 dollar bill and if he could get it done in one day, which he said he could. He was lying to my face. Once he realized that excuse wasn't going to work he blamed his receptionist for not being there on Friday, not his incompetence. By this point I had had it. I paid my bill and got back in my car - pissed I was going to need to look for a new mechanic to do the rest of the repairs and be out of a car for another day. He hadn't reset my oil gauge. If you want to go to an incompetent mechanic who blames the customer for their mistakes this is the place for you - I've never had a more disappointing experience. read more

Had my college student take his car in for air conditioning recharge and check paid $140 to put Freon in. Day later no air, so we took it back for another $200 plus in repairs. Next day same thing " no air ". Take it back again they tell me this time it will be $1300 and the Tech that worked on it in the beginning is no longer there , the one that should have diagnosed the real problem before I spent the $400 ish. Stay away from this one!!!!!!!!!! read more

Broke down in Lincoln on the way to Colorado the staff got us back on the road In 3 hours with a brand new radiator thanks Lauren and Eric and Bill read more

I wanted to find mechanics I could trust that would treat my car like it's theirs. I found that at A1. They found a great balance between quality and price. They made sure all the parts in my repairs were properly picked, without trying to upsell me on unnecessary things. I really appreciate their attention to detail and highly recommend them. read more

Used A1 Automotive to repair my sons car. They were quick to get the car in for an evaluation and called back with the estimate in a timely manner. Only reason not to give them a 5 star rating was the pressure to fix other issues they saw that were not an immediate issue. read more

They were great! Very friendly and flexible to work with my situation. They are very honest and I personally trust them with my vehicle! I would recommend them to everyone who needs to get their car fixed. Thanks A1! read more

Recently purchased 4 new tires from this convenient downtown location and was very impressed with the service and customer experience. Highly recommended. read more

I had a great experience at A1 Automotive! Kendall and his staff are super friendly, honest workers. They were very time efficient, which was extremely helpful being a college student with a busy schedule. I wouldn't think twice recommending them! Thanks so much, Kendall! read more
