John (the owner) is such a great person. His prices are reasonable compared to Mercedes dealership. He doesn't try to sale me things I don't need. read more

DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR BUSINESS. my mom DROVE her car there with the check engine light on and after 3 weeks of having it at allied, she had to have it towed to another repair shop because they completely ruined her car and made it undriveable. Upon getting her car back, she realized that one of her pair of sunglasses, worth $500, were missing from her vehicle. the owner claims that his technicians wouldn't know how much they were worth because they are men, even though they are a popular designer brand, which many people would recognize. Police are now involved and this issue will be going to court regarding both the car and the "lost" sunglasses. I've been in the process of drafting this review for weeks now, for the sake of making sure the information I am providing to you is accurate and up to date. The car had to be towed to Land Rover to be worked on because allied made it undriveable after ensuring that they had the ability to work on land rovers. The dealership called us back to inform us that they had messed up all of the wiring to the engine, something they never had permission to do in the first place. The land rover staff was shocked and informed us that there was likely nothing seriously wrong with the car other than the wires that had been ruined by allied. This repair is now going to cost $4000 on top of whatever fees we will have to pay to litigate against allied motorworks, as well as the cost of replacing the stolen sunglasses. If you want to avoid a major headache and basically being robbed in broad daylight, avoid doing business with this company. TL; DR : They will ruin your car and steal from you, causing you to shovel thousands to an actual qualified mechanic. This business should genuinely be shut down. read more

John is a great person to deal with, worked on my Mini Cooper, which is not the easiest vehicles to work on. The man is as good as his word. He has my business from now on. read more

They did a great job putting in a transmission for my 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. The dealership wanted about $4k, and John was able to do it for half of that. Price was good, service was great, and the time it took from when they got it was even better. read more

This place is great. The owner, John is a nice guy who provides quality work on my car and cares about his customers. This has become the place where I will bring my car for all automotive repairs. Skip the dealer, bring your car to allied! read more

After 14 years I lost the mechanic that worked on my 1994 Mazda RX7! I took a proactive approach and started researching mechanics around the city that could do GOOd work on my vehicle! Ironically, I took a chance on taking my car to John at Allied Motor Works......about a mile or so from my home!!! WOW! I won one! This place. Is amazing! not to mention the mechanics! I could not be more pleased as they Were able to pinpoint the problems that alluded the other mechanic that I had trusted for so long! long story short.....It looks like Allied Motor works and I are going to have a long lasting relationship! read more

It's usually very difficult to find a good honest mechanic, and if you do it probably won't be very fair priced. Most of the mechanics my family has been going to haven't had such great service, like most mechanics they usually try to get you with the hidden fees and the unnecassary fixes. Allied Motorworks is great, honest, has amazing service, and is fair priced. They even have groupons and deals. I would honestly rather pay a couple extra dollars for their service and get what I need fixed in the car than pay cheaper prices for fixes that I don't need. One of the mechanics was telling me how the other mechanic in the back is now 40yrs old, at age 17 he was the youngest master certified mechanic of his time. He had all these other awesome credentials that he listed off. They fix everything from luxury high end cars (Maserati) to regular family cars. I normally don't write reviews this long unless the place is horrible or exceptional. I drove in with a messed up stick shift car and he fixed it so well I drove out practically having to relearn how to drive stick. This place is definitely exeptional. read more

I imagine that most car technicians rub their hands greedily and begin thinking of expensive lies to sell when I drive up. I'm a young woman with small red car so naturally I'm a prime target for unnecessary services and inflated prices that never match the original estimate. But at Allied Motorworks, I was pleasantly surprised. The owner is thoughtful, kind, and willing to explain concepts about car mechanics even if it takes some time - he treated me as if I were family (a principle I think we all should live by). He and his wife run a quality establishment where they take care of both the cars and the people. They addressed all my concerns, had my car ready in a timely manner, and did not try to convince me of services I neither needed nor wanted. Plus, the prices were excellent (especially with the deal through Yelp). I will absolutely be coming back here anytime I have a problem with my car! read more

Took our car to Allied because the top wouldn't go down. Then they told us the car wouldn't start, got it to start and the radio went out, got the radio to work and the nav system wouldn't work. I paid him an extra $500 and, after 3 months, we're still waiting for the nav system to be fixed. Promises and then you never hear from him. Has no clue how to fix cars! Terrible communications. Over priced and he doesn't finish the job! We're waiting now at 4:30 for him and he was supposed to be her in the morning. No one answers the phone and it's long distance even though he's only 1 mile away! Don't ever go to this shop! read more

Would just like to update this review one last time. After multiple repairs to fix issues encountered from this shop working on my car, my car finally died. This happened in July 2017. (Yes I know that was a while ago, but someone I talked to recently had a similar experience here which reminded me to come save you all from encountering the hell I dealt with.) I was always weary of the long term integrity of the repairs made here. A valve job is a major repair. My car had just about 130K miles when it died. Given all the routine and preventative maintenance I had done over the ~6 years I owned it, there is no way this should have happened. This 2.0 GM engine was one of the best they ever made. The cause was complete head gasket failure. The turbo also seized up. The local shop who had become my go to after dealing with this shop attributed the failure to a reused head gasket. The local shop had already replaced the turbo gasket at the exhaust flange along with a couple others. I mean why not? These guys reused countless other seals, gaskets and o-rings. Like I said, I recently spoken with a friend who still lives in Toledo that took his vehicle in here. He said it would be weeks at a time until he heard anything on his car. They had his car for over a month. Heed these warnings folks. I know the options are limited for foreign imports, but resist the temptation. This shop cost me thousands of dollars in the long run after repairs and finally losing the vehicle all-together read more

If you would like a repair shop where both the owner and mechanic listen to you...if you would like a repair shop where your auto is repaired in good time and done correctly...if you would like the work done at a fair price...then you will definitely like Allied Motorworks. John will take the best of care of you and your car. And Torrey is a mechanic's mechanic. Thanks, guys! read more

So I buy a Porsche 944 which the prior owner serviced at Allied. The receipt if for a timing belt failure leading to bent valves and required a complete head reconditioning. Allied charged them $4766.00 (which included a clutch). They also "allege" they included a water pump. I bought this car exactly 2 years after this service and it had only accumulated approx 1100 miles since this $4700 service. I drove the car for a approximately 400 miles over the 1100 by the previous owner where I continue to fix minor old Porsche items. 3 weeks ago, my wife and I left Cars and Coffee and the "new" timing belt snapped. I towed the Porsche home and upon disassembly of the timing belt cover, the Cam bolt fell on the floor. I noticed that the cam bolt had fed itself through all of the pulleys before destroying the new timing and balance shaft belts. Even before this happened, I noticed whoever at Allied reassembled the car put the fuel lines UNDER the fuel rail, not over. They were literally clamped down with the pressure of the rail. Remember the water pump I mentioned? Not new, original 1986. I would never, ever take a Yugo to Allied. Let alone an import you actually care about. What a shame. read more
