Today (13 August 2025) I brought my 2001 Acura CL Type S to Manny's Service Center on Wheeler Road…read moreto have the drivers side headlight fixed/replaced as it didn't come on the other few nights. Driving as a One Eyed Bandit is not safe nor legal. Manny explained that it could be the HID bulb, or some other problem, further explaining that parts may not be available as the vehicle is now 25 years old. ( Side note-but still good looking and still a great performance car!) Manny told me if not fixable, after market light kits may be the solution. I told Manny, do what you can. Two hours later I get a call from Manny- the lights are working! I asked what was the problem? He said "well we started the vehicle, turned on the headlights and they are on, both sides." "What" I said. "Ok, i'll be there in an hour to pick up the car." Drive down to Manny's, go in office. Manny is in there, eating lunch. But he took the time out to explain what was done. It took all of ten seconds as he said, "we didn't do anything." I asked Manny how much did I owe him for his time and efforts. He said "Nothing, we didn't do anything!" Now- this is why I am taking the time to write this review- How many times have we ever went to an auto repair shop and paid Nothing! Go anywhere else and it's a fee that is the Arm and Leg! And those shops will give you the bill with a big smile! Well-Manny's Service Center deserves Ten stars for his honesty and integrity! Have a Honda- bring it to Manny's Service Center. Have a Acura- Bring it to Manny's Service Center. Honest people in the auto repair industry is a rare find. When you find one, you want to spread the word, I am spreading the word! Highly Recommend Manny's Service Center for your vehicle's regular maintenance and for those repairs that are needed. It should be noted that this is the fourth time using Manny's Service Center, regular oil change, new alternator and for a new radiator. Each and every time, work done expertly and timely. And what's more important, the costs were reasonable. What more can I say- go to Manny's Service Center. It's a no frills place. No big waiting room, just honest and friendly people who do a great job.

On July 21, 2025, I spoke with the owner, Eddie, who agreed to refund me $250. During our…read moreconversation, he acknowledged a breakdown in communication between the original technician and the one who later attempted to complete the work. He admitted that key information wasn't properly passed along. Eddie also confirmed that the confrontation with the tow truck driver did occur, and while he acknowledged it was an unfortunate situation, he said there was blame to go around. That said, my experience with Butler's Automotive, located at 1401 Reynolds Street in Augusta, Georgia, was truly awful. We initially brought our Toyota Tundra in to have the rear wheel bearings replaced. After the job was supposedly completed, I noticed a persistent noise while driving. I returned and asked them to recheck the work. They told me the bearings were fine and instead claimed the driveshaft needed to be replaced. They quoted me $2,200 to install a new driveshaft. Alternatively, if I provided my part, they would charge $400 for installation. I was also told that if I chose not to proceed with the installation, I would still owe $200 for labor already performed. I ordered a new driveshaft and had it shipped directly to their shop. After the driveshaft arrived, they told me it wouldn't work and insisted I now owed $400--double the amount originally stated if I chose not to go forward with the job. When I pushed back and reminded them of the $200 agreement, they justified the higher charge by citing time spent moving the truck in and out of the bay. Though I strongly disagreed, I paid the $400 just to get my vehicle back. Once I had the truck, I installed the same driveshaft myself without issue. The part simply required a universal joint strap--something any competent technician should have recognized and handled easily. Their claim that the part didn't fit was unfounded. To make matters worse, when the tow truck driver arrived to retrieve my vehicle, Eddie and several employees were disrespectful and used profanity toward him. Their behavior was completely unprofessional and uncalled for. In total, I lost $400--$200 in unnecessary shop fees and $200 for towing--due to poor communication, misdiagnoses, and unprofessional conduct. While I appreciate the partial refund, the overall experience was unacceptable. I would not recommend Butler's Automotive to anyone. If I could give them a rating below one star, I would.
