Saved me $1414 getting my car fixed here! I had no idea that the other auto mechanic I've been…read moregoing to was so expensive. Someone recommended 1701 so I decided to give it a try. I made a call and the same repair that I was quoted as $480 at another local auto repair shop, Sebastian quoted me as about $250 dollars. And then the other repair of the right and left arms for some part of the engine that I was quoted as $1184 by the other Auto shop, Sebastian told me that it's normal wear and doesn't need to be repaired yet. Now it makes sense that the previous repair shop wanted to charge me $50 per bulb to put in when my bulbs went out on my car. So I went and got the bulbs myself at O'Reilly's and put them in myself the first time until I found out O'Reillys offers complementary bulb replacement. Between 1701 and O'Reillys, I think I may be able to survive and keep my car running. Grateful for honest affordable 1701 Auto Care! Thank you, Sebastian.

They did the service in half a day, and they were honest about not finding anything and that the car ran great. We were only charged for an oil change since they rotated the tires for free.

It was tough finding a place that will do it, but with great luck I stumbled upon Community Auto Garage. Gave them a call and they immediately responded and answered all the questions I had. They did an awesome job with the hitch installation. My boyfriend and I were able to enjoy riding our bikes out of town with their help! Fast forward to today, I had my car serviced for a faulty starter and bad alternator. I was quoted an insane amount at the dealership, but was quoted a much reasonable price here. It was smooth scheduling the appointment with Kam. Throughout the process, he was informative & communicative. He provided photos and videos and went above and beyond with updates! They were able to get my car done faster than their estimated time as well. It was such a relief working with them! They do fast, reliable and honest work. I highly recommend coming to their shop for any car troubles!

This Matt guy tries to cover up his mistakes. If you you screwed up, which you did, just admit it. All of the suggestions Matt made that needed to change in my car did not affect its usage for many thousands of miles. To this day, none was changed and still runs great. He wants you to change all of the components to make more money. What a scam. Like I said, all of the components he suggested I have NOT changed and the car has over 278,000+ miles since it was improperly fixed. Which I corrected on my own. You're lucky you got 1 star. If I could give zero stars I would.

I also have to chime in about the price gouging I experienced during my last routine maintenance…read more Lesson learned to ALWAYS get a quote. I neglected to do that bc I figured it couldn't cost that much to basically get a tire rotation and have them spend 15-20 min checking fluid levels and stuff. Not complicated AT ALL. Attached is what's needed. I was charged like $200 and was floored. Esp now that I'm due for my next routine maintenance and other places are quoting me $35 for a rotation. Maybe these guys are fine for actual repairs and serious mechanic work, but I don't appreciate being taken advantage of, which is quite common in this industry against women, which is sad.
