I had gone to another repair shop the previous week and left there terrified my car was about to fall apart. I pulled in to youngs river and they took a look at the issue and assured me I was in no danger of a catastrophe any time soon. The next week my check engine light came on and they were able to squeeze me in to see what the issue was. While my care will need some work and further investigation to find the issue I feel confident they will be able to find and fix the problem. Josh is amazing. He is kind, caring and does not talk down to me just because I am an old lady. His wife is also very friendly and kind. While waiting for my car the second time an older couple came in to pick up their car. They were preparing for a road trip and when Josh assured them all issues were fixed and they would have no problems they were so relieved and appreciative that they also had found this repair shop. While my little car will still need more work I feel like I can relax and not worry about being taken advantage of or told I need repairs I dont need. This is a HUGE relief, especially on a fixed income. I would highly reccoment Youngs river auto to anyone who, like me, is always skeptical and not sure who to trust. These people are awesome!

He apparently missed the note to complete a 50,000 mile service. He also said he couldn't install the spacers for our custom wheels because he didn't have the proper tool. I was called the next day and told that they did not do the specific 50,000 mile service. They were very nice about it and scheduled me for the day before I was leaving town for a month. I was told to expect it to take 2 1/2-3 hours. It took almost 5 hours! We got back from our trip a few days ago and while driving the car, heard some very disturbing grinding/rubbing noises. My husband crawled under the car and found that the belly pan was barely hanging on. It is not installed in the correct location and has incorrect fasteners in several places, as well as many missing fasteners. It also contains a fair amount of gravel. How does that happen? Since they already had two chances to get it right. My 71 year old husband decided he should do it himself. It is a shame that the office staff are so wonderful, while the tech just cannot seem to get it right. The value for the work would have been good if only they could have done it correctly the first time. I could even forgive overlooking the note and making me come back a second time if it hadn't taken so long and still been done seriously wrong. I am very disappointed in the quality of the work!

We were having an amazing trip then my transmission went out in my Chevy Tahoe. We called AAA to tow us to the nearest auto repair shop. Doc's had the best reviews (now I know why) so I chose them. They were closed that day so I called them the next business day to let them know my vehicle was there and my dilemma. As a single woman traveling I was nervous I was going to be taken advantage of by a shady repair man 200 miles away from home. To my pleasant surprise the shop is run by women! Cheryl the front desk person and Samantha the mechanic really took care of me. They made me understand what was happening with my vehicle and treated me more than fair.

Instead of doing the oil change properly, their technician chose to vacuum the oil out because removing the undercarriage cover would "take too long." We relied on their expertise and trusted they knew what they were doing. The car was driven a short distance after the service and seemed fine. The next morning, however, it started misfiring immediately and was clearly unsafe to drive. The vehicle remained parked until it could be evaluated, and was eventually towed to a certified mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed a missing camshaft seal and advised that this type of failure is consistent with improper oil extraction using suction equipment and would not occur during a standard oil change. We paid $613.79 in repairs, plus the original $97.95 oil change. We made multiple attempts to contact the shop (calls and email). Eventually, their claims manager called on 3/25/2026 and denied the claim solely because they didn't get to inspect the vehicle first ignoring the fact that the car was unsafe to drive and that we didn't even know they caused the issue until after a professional diagnosis and repair. At this point, it's not just about the damage, it's about accountability. Cutting corners for convenience caused real damage, and they've refused to take responsibility. We are now pursuing this through small claims court. Use caution. An oil change shouldn't result in engine damage.
