Only been to Ander's Automotive 1 time for a rear brake job that included rotors on my 2018 MB 350GLE with the AMG wheel/brake package. Hardy was professional and completed the job while I was able to wait. I know he preferred that I drop the automobile off and come back later, but I didn't have that option. My auto is now out of warranty. Based on this great experience I asked Hardy if he wanted to be my regular mechanic as I hope to keep this auto for many years to come. He said he would be glad to continue servicing the vehicle.
I also called Hardy a few weeks ago to ask if he could help my daughter with her out of warranty, Honda sedan? He said he loves to work on Hondas and that we did not need an appointment. Just bring the car in. He did ask that we leave the car with him, so that he could work the vehicle in, while also committing to look at it ASAP. Because I was able to help my daughter in this situation it was no problem to plan on leaving the car.
Turned out, Hardy looked at the car as soon as it got there and the problem could not be replicated. Hardy sent us off hoping the situation was just an anomaly, and so far it has not reoccurred. He could have easily messed around more with the car, tell us it needed something new and charged us something. But that is not the way Hardy seems to run his business. Very grateful for his integrity and ethics.
I believe Hardy is a mechanical guru with another great mechanic that I witnessed working in the shop. I heard them talking as Hardy worked on my brakes with the iPad and dealt with all the onboard computers. It was comforting to know that between the Hardy and the other mechanic they have the skill and knowledge to figure ANYTHING out. read more
