It's nice to find an honest shop. They fixed what was needed and didn't do anything extra. A1 could've ran the bill up, but they did what was absolutely necessary to get my truck back to running well again. Michael has great communication and the tech was great. The price was extremely fair. I highly recommend. They earned a returning customer. read more

Trustworthy autoshop. My 15' Nissan Altima windshield reservoir was leaking and thinking about bringing it to the dealership but I knew it was gonna cost me $$$$ without warranty. My friend recommended this place, I walked-in, and met Craig. Craig was very helpful, informative, and professional. He seems like he really knew what he was doing. He make sure that he didn't forget to order the parts for my car, he called back to follow-up the delivery of the parts, and had it replaced in the shop for 30 minutes. The one who replaced if I remembered was "bigs" who did it and Craig double-checked to make sure it was installed correctly. They work old school, no fancy technologies in sight, and very trustworthy with their work. A month later, my windshield fluid is spraying like a charm. read more

I was referred to this shop and could not be happier with the level of service I received. Deepak the owner personally helped me make sure my car was fixed to my satisfaction. If I need car repairs in the future, I will take my car back to A1. Rae K. read more

Took my car here cause I i was having issues with the engine and breaks quit on me. After being to two other mechanics that "supposedly diagnosed and fixed" the problem with the engine, I still had problems. I took it to A1 committed Autocare and and he figured out what was wrong with it and didn't charge me an arm and leg, wish I would have gone to him first! Took it in on a Saturday and he had it ready for me on Monday and with great customer service! Definitely recommend and will be going there for any future issues! read more

Sadly I can no longer recommend this shop and I am now in the process of looking for another to work on my car from here on out. For the past few years I really liked bringing my car here because I felt I could trust them to treat me well, but my last experience with them has ruined that trust. The work they did on my car was still good. No problems there. It was just the billing that was ridiculous making the repair of used parts cost as much as a dealership would have charged to install all new parts. When I brought my car in this time it was after I heard a grinding sound when breaking. The sound was very jarring since it started out of the blue on a quick trip to the store and I could not understand why it sounded like I was grinding the rotors when my break pads had never once squeaked to alert me that they were low. The second I heard the sound, since the shop was closed on a Saturday night, I immediately drove straight home and parked my car to prevent any further damage. I was house bound all day Sunday and on Monday morning when the shop opened I drove straight to A1 expecting to need new break pads and hoping the rotors were okay. I wasn't that lucky. I was willing to pay to repair anything my car needed and they only repaired what I needed (pads and rotors) but I believe I was severely overcharged for the work they did. Compared to every other time I've used them in the past their rates when you factor in the time it took to do the actual repair were literally doubled. I watched as they spent half the time working on someone else's vehicle while mine sat there waiting but then they billed me as if they worked the whole time. I think I am a reasonable person and I understand companies needing to make a profit but there is a point where charges become excessive and for the labor on this job that took about an hour and a half of actual work we were looking at excessive in the rear view mirror. Maybe I should have seen this coming what with the changes I've observed in the atmosphere of A1 and the staff lately. It is not nearly as active as it once was and the employee turnover had been suspicious since all the mechanics that have worked on my car in the last few years and the ones I'd built relationships with have left. My guess is it has to do with the owner. The owner seems to have quit his other job to come work at this business and I couldn't tell you why but he really nickel-and-dimed me. He purposefully made the estimate very confusing separating the charges into two sets of two for front and rear brake sets with multiple labor costs. When I tried to clarify the totals all he would say is I'm giving you a good rate and you are not listening. I know for a fact it was not a good rate because while I was waiting on the repair I consulted a family member who just replaced his own rotors (he lives in another state so he could not do it for me) but did say he thought I was being taken advantage of since he did his in half the time without being a mechanic and then I got an estimate from another shop and found out just how excessive the labor portion was. At that point it was too late to go somewhere else and I wasn't in much of a position to argue anyway. I would never have authorized the repair work in the first place had it not been for the fact that my car was in pieces when the owner brought me the estimate and I knew I could not drive on it in its current condition so shopping around was out of the question. The other estimate I got could not be completed for a week so even though it was a much better rate they were too busy and I could not wait that long. I was stuck and did ultimately pay the excessive bill but that is the last time I will ever go to this shop. I trusted them and until now had never felt cheated but even with proof of how non-competitive the labor charges were the owner refused to compromise. The main reason I liked this shop was for their trustworthiness and that is no longer the case. As a result, A1 has permanently lost my business and my recommendation. read more

This won't take long. I was in the process of purchasing a new vehicle and had A1 do a pre-purchase inspection to make sure everything was alright. Most places give you a detailed report with pictures. They sent me a 3 line e-mail without pictures. I purchased the vehicle on their recommendation. Halfway home the check engine light came on. The next morning I went to turn the car on and a ton of smoke came out the exhaust. I started to drive it up to my local repair shop and it died halfway there. You get the picture. There inspection cost me a couple thousand dollars in repairs!!! They refunded me the cost of the inspection, but I am still out thousands of dollars!!! When you can't even tell the consumer that the vehicle needs two new tires you know you haven't done your job! I wouldn't recommend them for a pre-purchase inspection!!! read more

I've been doing business with them for about 12yrs. I've never had a bad experience with them. Good work at a fair price and timely manner. Much cheaper than dealerships. Will continue to do business with them in the future. read more

I drive an old, 1992 BMW that needs pretty constant repair, but I'm very picky about who I take it to. I've been through my share of terrible mechanics. I was using a garage in Dallas, but I moved to Arlington for school and the drive to the shop was just too far (or sometimes impossible). After hunting the internet a little bit, I found A1 Committed Autocare had some high reviews on a coupe of other sites. It's not a great LOOKING place, so I was skeptical, but decided to give them a shot. I'm 100% impressed. It's family owned by a guy named Deepak and his son, Craig. They write down exactly what I ask for (sometimes it's a long list), they call with very in-depth and informative updates about exactly what's going on with the car, and they do pretty quick work. The prices aren't bad either, especially with the student discount they offer. I've been there three times now and they've never had any trouble getting my car in top shape again. I definitely recommend them! read more

Driving to class, and I noticed that my brakes were making a loud grinding noise. I saw this shop many times on my way to and from class. I decided to give them a shot since they were so close. I went in and the guys in the shop and office personnel were friendly. I spoke with the guy in the office after parking the car and told him what I was experiencing in my car. He took my keys and have it to the mechanics in the back. After a few minutes one of the mechanics came back with my keys and said he needed to replace the disc and pads on the front and recommended the rear brakes as well. To ease my decision I walked into the back where they had my car and the mechanic showed me how much I've worn down the front and rear brakes. I walked back to the office and they quoted me a price that was better than the previous brake shops I have been to. After about two hours I felt this shop had my car back to me and I was on my way. I highly recommend this shop to my friends and family. Friendly workers and great job on my car! read more

Everyone here was very professional and very helpful. They took their time to go over everything with us and made me feel like my business was the most important business to them. They offered some helpful tips and stated we can bring back our Volvo if we have any problems. A1 is now our new mechanics!! read more

Horrible! I used their towing referral which they get a kick back on. Then I was told on TWO separate visits for repair and after I paid for the repair to "just hit the front dash hard with my fist to make it work...". ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I had an AC issue, they added Freeon (sp?) and so called mechanic listened to my car to determine my compressor was good then took his fist and hit the dash board and said "there you go...that's what you need to do". They had my car the first time for over four hours to add Freeon then tell me to hit my dashboard to make the AC come on. Next visit was me having my car towed by their referred towing company after it didn't start. They said they replaced an "R&R Relay Switch" and my car started for 3 days then I was stranded again. When I called them and I promise you I was very angry, their response was "well you have an older car and it could be anything from old wires needing replaced to...". I said REALLY??? You've got to be kidding?!!! I am stranded again and paying a SECOND TOW BILL OF $70-90 before the car is repaired. They wouldn't take my calls after that and couldn't explain with specificity what they repaired on my vehicle. I called them several times asking and they would not return my calls. My next communication over A1 will be with the Better Business Bureau. BEWARE!!! Also, I grew up in Arlington and I have approx. 50 years of experience in this city and the DFW area. read more

My daughter bought a used vehicle from a dealership that allowed a 7-day return for any reason-no questions asked. A pre-purchase inspection done right will catch any existing issues and faulty cover-ups from previous owners. After pricing the pre-purchase inspection with 2 dealerships of the same make as the car, I didn't reasonably feel that $200.00 for the inspection was worth it, so I found A-1 Committed Auto Care in a search engine and gave them a call. I spoke to Craig. We set the appointment and he told me what the cost would be which was under half of what the dealerships wanted. Today we took the car in and was greeted right away by the owner, which gave us so much information on what was to be checked up on the car. The owner's posted information in the waiting room shows that he is a Mechanical Engineer, and some information listed also mentions that he consults with nuclear power plants as his main career, so I figure that we are dealing with a very knowledgeable professional who might know a thing or 2 about how engines work. True to form, we were given information about some of the different vehicle systems of her car and what was inspected and the analytical results of the inspection. The natural flow and ease in which he explained thoroughly and succinctly what we needed to know was reassuring, and garnered in me a feeling of trust. I will be trusting my vehicles to A-1 in the near future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone for their pre-purchase inspection. The 4-star review is only because no actual repairs were done. read more

Asked them to install ac compressor. Returned the truck with the AC still not working. When I called them about it they said they simply did what I had asked and offered no solution. I went to the shop next door and they found out the issue was that they overfilled the compressor with oil and it had blocked the entire AC line. If it had been installed correctly it would have been working fine. I will never go to them again. No customer service and they knew they were giving me my truck back without working ac. Because they didn't install it correctly. read more
