What can I say except unreal service and exceptional people!…read more My family and I rented a camper van on our way through Nevada and onward to DisneyLand for my daughter's spring break trip, and traveling through Wells, Nevada we suddenly broke down on a very fast and windy stretch of HWY 93 (possibly the worst place to break down). After calling in a tow truck back to Wells, feeling like our trip was ruined, we got word that a team of mechanics were en route with another replacement van and were going to repair the original van in order to get themselves back home. By the next day we were on our way and feeling renewed on our adventure! The Hop Shops service was expedient, friendly (helped me switch all our many things and gear to the new van), and very good mechanics as they fixed the van on the go! Our family got to know these great folks during our time together and we can confidently say these are great people that care. Obviously our experience with The Hop Shops service was a great one when we needed it most! Highly recommend! 10/10!

Scott is the man! This is a man that cares about his work & his customers…read more I've lived in the Boise area since March & not one friend could give me the name of a trustworthy reasonable mechanic. I tried using Yelp to help find a shop that had high ratings & mostly positive reviews. I had a shop (Walter @ Mac's Automotive) convince me that replacing my rear end assembly instead of rebuilding the differential would be more cost-effective due to labor & parts. Initially quoted me $2300 ($1700 for the rear end) + $500 for 2 sensors that had to be replaced (told me that I had to do all 4). Ended up having Scott tow my truck from that shop to his & I told him what The prior shop had told me. To my surprise, Scott came back that same day quoting me $1300 for the rebuild. Then he mentioned the sensors & expressed their importance but I didn't have to do all 4. All said & done........$1655 out the door! Thank God For Perfection Drivetrain!

Backyard mechanic fixed problem by cleaning the positive battery cable. battery cable was loose enough that it could be taken off by hand and ultimate transmission stated that they had tightened and checked battery terminals.

He was aware of their mistakes and held my truck hostage until I paid the bill. An outright crook. Although they put a floormat on the carpet, the edge beside the seat was covered in grease.

I checked the transmission fluid prior to taking my rig in. It was clean and clear but lighter than normal. Within days of having the Safeguard done, my rig at times was shuddering and was unable to maintain power at low speeds. Approximately two weeks and 2K miles later on 01/18/2023 my rig completely powered off while at a stop light 3 miles from my home. The vehicle did start back up. I checked the transmission fluid once home. It was dirty and looked like metal shavings in the fluid. It's been parked ever since. I called the BOISE AAMCO ON STATE STREET on 01/26/2023 and asked what they put into my transmission. He proceeded to tell me to get an attorney to talk to his attorney and hung up. This location refuses to hold accountability for their faulty services. I attached photos of the dirty transmission oil AAMCO ON STATE STREET put in my rig.

Driven Automotive exceeded expectations. The barometer for me is always customer service. From the first impression, service writer Steve Lee knocked it out of the park. I requested service on my vehicle on short notice and Steve was kind enough to place me on a waitlist. Not expecting a call back, he did indeed and squeezed my vehicle in the next day. The Driven Automotive facilities are modern, well maintained, and make it obvious that customer impressions matter to them. Steve conveyed clear understanding of our maintenance needs and gave us clear expectations. Ultimately, Driven Automotive didn't try to upsell me on service not readily needed and provided solid advice and guidance on potential future service. The credibility already established from the first phone call gave me confidence that Driven Automotive are pros interested in letting their work product and reputation be their greatest selling point. We were really impressed and planning to be loyal customers moving forward with all our vehicles!

I moved here to Meridian a few years back and had yet to find a good automotive repair facility…read morethat does not try to take advantage of me or my wife if she takes a vehicle in by herself. I had a spectacular experience at Meridian Automotive and truly felt I have found a team I trust for my automotive repairs going forward. My wife and I both drive fairly new vehicles and mine has just ended its dealership warranty of 3yr/36,000 miles. I wanted to get a 2nd opinion prior to my warranty expiring so I took the vehicle in for a complete look over. I could not have been happier with the results. My inspection came with a full color detailed report that they both printed and texted me. It even came with photos and descriptions of what those photos were because to be honest I have no idea what I was looking at until I read the description. They ended up catching something the dealership either completely ignored or just simply missed but either way I'm happy to have caught it early. I truly have found my home should I need any future repairs and these guys will even be taking care of the simple things like my oil changes, tires, ect. There were a few additional things I liked about this place too! -3yr/36,000 mile Warranties on most repairs -Free roadside assistance after repairs for a year -Extremely friendly staff. Shout out to Mike! -Tow-Service (Knock on Wood I don't need it ever but its good to have!) -Comfortable waiting room -Very clean shop 5/5 Would Recommend!

A mechanic on duty informed me that he had a used line on on an old motor. He pulled the line off of the old motor but said his boss wouldn't let him work on my truck until he finished a "locals" truck and then that would be a maybe so. I asked if I could buy the line and change it myself. The owner then stated that he wasn't sure he wanted to sell the line. I called the FORD dealership and they got me one out of Boise by 2:30 in the afternoon. I ended up changing it myself in a parking lot but the owner could have saved me a lot of time and could have replaced the line with a new one the next day knowing he wouldn't need that line. If FORD hadn't had the means to get me a line in 6 1/2 hours, this man would have had me sit for an extra day because he didn't want to sell someone 1,800 miles from home a used fuel line. The mechanic and receptionist are great and really tried to help.
