Absolutely amazing service. I first called and spoke with Kai, asking if I could bring my Miata in…read moreso he could evaluate a weird sound when shifting and braking. He said anytime after 3 PM. It was a Friday. As soon as he tried shifting (without needing to actually test drive), he immediately diagnosed a bad clutch pilot bearing. He then quickly checked the brakes -- also needing replacement in the rear. He offered to work on it right away and have it finished by the next afternoon! Wow. Most shops require weeks to schedule an appointment and require leaving the car in the early morning for whenever they might have time to get to it. Kai also provided a lender car. Sure enough, on Saturday afternoon, we picked up the car. The price verbally quoted (no need to sign paper authorizations as in other shops) was spot on, no surprises. He completed the work expertly, replacing the clutch disc, pressure plate, bearings, and resurfacing the flywheel, as well as replacing the rear brakes. This is now my go-to shop for both my vehicles!

This is like a unicorn here!! Keith the owner answers the phone on occasion and clearly cares about the service he provides and it shows. When I arrived at my appointment the guy at the counter held out his hand and said Welcome I'm Tyler! He gave me a run down of what they do and also offered a loaner car?? Huge bonus - When I came to pick it up - it was closing time and Keith was such a sweetheart and said - I'll have someone Monday call you and total you up - what you are letting me leave without paying yet??!!! Maybe I've been jaded from city life but that never happens - the mechanic came out (Austin) and was super informative and told me all he did. Super awesome experience and you can count on me to return for all my service for my BMW. Last unexpected bonus - they washed and vacuumed my car!! Thank you guys for being awesome!!

I know enough about cars not to be taken advantage of but I freely admit I don't know about the Adblue system as it's too new. My leak was a pretty big problem and needed to be treated quickly before it caused catastrophic failure. They could have taken me for a ride, like the Audi dealership does, and tried to sell me or coerce me into major repairs. Well they didn't. They handled my issue on the lowest level possible for the best price. The cleaned out my system, isolated the leak and made a patch. Been driving for weeks now with no follow up issues. Not only did they give me a good repair, but they saw me that day. They understood the potential problems that the leak could balloon into and made room for me that day, and their shop was full. Business is booming and I can see why, they are just good!!! Will be going back for all my Audi repairs!

So I don't usually write reviews, but I feel it is necessary in this case…read more I originally had my car towed to Joe's Automotive as my car battery was drained(0.01V display from multimeter), I recently just installed a new alternator, brand new terminals/connectors for the battery, and a remanufactured starter. All the attempts to start had drained what charge was left from the battery, and I suspected the starter was bad and possibly draining the battery. To their credit they got the car started, but the only change was slightly different cable angle on the starter & alternator, and severely damaged battery terminals that look like they have been smashed in with a hammer, and tightened so tight that they can no longer be removed. I took before and after photos of the engine, and these are the only things that were altered, so I can only determine that they charged my battery successfully and slightly changed the angle of the battery connections, and then smashed in my terminals so they could no longer be removed. I was then charged $280 for this privilege. The only saving grace was that they also confirmed the starter was bad, which I thought was the case anyway, and once I swapped out and reinstalled a new starter it functions properly. (The starter ended up melting the testing device used at the location I bought the starter...) TLDR: They recharged my battery, shifted cable placement, smashed in my battery terminals so they are now permanent battery fixtures, and charged me almost $300 for that amazing service... Edit for owner response: Which specific wire are you claiming to have melted? There are only three wires/cables that connect to the starter, the positive battery cable, the starter solenoid wire, and the negative battery cable to ground. None of which were replaced OR melted. Do you have any pictures of these melted mystery wires? The bolts were also not tightened to the point that the report claimed, as my wireless ratchet wrench is not physically capable of tightening them to that degree, as it automatically stops when it meets resistance. It cannot overtighten things. The alternator was also installed correctly, there are only two connections to the alternator and both were fully connected and in the same locations before and after pickup. "would never damage parts of the vehicle to get things back on." My mangled battery terminals beg to differ, as my attached pictures can attest. They were brand new and installed that same day actually, not a scratch on them until they were brought to you guys. The damage didn't just magically appear on its own.

They repaired/reconditioned my Prius Hybrid battery about 23 months ago, but a few weeks ago, the dreaded trifecta of warning lights and fault codes reappeared, letting me know that the computer believed that the battery was kaput once again. For cryin' out loud, the whole car only has 460,000 miles on it -- I am determined to get it to 500k! I took it back to Unlimited Service, and they told me that because I was just within my 2 year warranty, they would take it apart and fix it for free (at least all of the components they had worked on, 23 months ago). I did not know that I had a 2 year warranty (I thought it was more along the lines of 90 days or $90). They had to remove and disassemble the battery again, replace some cells, and rebalance things - no trivial task. That was all covered by the warranty (yay)! These folks are top notch, and ill come back for other servicing needs as they arise

I can't say enough good things about Armstrong Family Autocare without sounding like a paid…read morepromoter or something, but believe me, this was an OUTSTANDING car repair experience!! Be honest: how many mechanics have you dealt with who actually aim to reduce the cost of the service?! Alex did!! My old '99 Voyager was acting wonky; it would start but then some components would work while others wouldn't.. one day the windows operated, but the wipers or heater fan wouldn't; the next day NONE of them worked; the next day they all worked fine.. and so on and so on Got a brand new top-of-the-line Napa battery.. didn't help .. so then I had the alternator tested by 3 different places who all said it had a bad diode, so I reached out to a few companies here, got quotes, and Armstrong's was the most reasonable price (plus nearby my place) so I brought the Voyager in, crossing my fingers that some unknown -expensive- additional work wouldn't be urged on me, as I've frequently experienced with other repairs Long story short, Alex told me it actually wasn't the alternator being bad, it was the ignition switch, and I gotta be honest and say I was hugely skeptical because the other companies had advised me to get a new alternator, why would they recommend it if it wasn't the problem? ...but I decided to trust Alex, and the repair cost was literally HALF the cost of replacing the alternator (which was already a very reasonable price!) But this morning was the iron test: would everything work like it did when I picked up my vehicle? IT SURE DID --the wipers, the windows, the heater fan ALL WORKED AT THE SAME TIME!! That hasn't happened in forever! LOL This review is getting long but I wanted to share the deets because frankly, given the symptoms, the tests AND my belief in the test results... Alex could have very easily done the cheaper ignition repair but said nothing and charged for the more expensive alternator replacement that I was asking for -and I wouldn't have known the difference and would've just been happy to have things working- but he was honest and upfront and didn't take advantage of my ignorance.. like other shops around here have done or tried to do to me in the past How awesome is THAT?! So believe me when I say that everyone reading this who might be searching for a mechanic they can trust as much as they'd trust a friend to do the work (if they had the skills) .....look no further This is a good person who does good work! ~~listen to Grandma, now~~
