Really good mechanics may seem like geniuses to us mere mortals, but Raffy most definitely is an…read moreabsolute genius. That's reason enough to bring him your most troubling automotive puzzles. But if that's no enough for you, I can personally attest to this man truly being a genuinely caring individual who actually wants to help his customers. Raffy will solve your vehicle problems in a way that will make you feel very glad you met him, and really smart you chose his shop out of the dozen or so good ones in Iowa City. He's completely honest and open about your issues and what it will take to fix them, and the price he will charge you is verifiably fair. He works fast, his repairs are accurate, and if you're a DIY'er who normally does your own work, he will take the time to educate you and show you what you missed, and how to do it better the next time. And on top of all that, Raffy is seriously a nice man who will treat you with kindness and respect, while doing his very best to get you back on the road. I would highly recommend you make his shop your first and only choice for any and all automotive repairs, whether you live in Iowa City Iowa, Fort Worth Texas, or anywhere else in between. Thank you So Much Raffy!

Police intervention was required…read more I had an extremely upsetting experience at #1 Auto Repair while traveling from out of town with my 9-year-old son. I got a flat tire and went to the nearest repair shop, as I have run-flat tires. After agreeing to a price for four tires, I left the shop and spoke with family, who thought the price seemed very high. I later contacted two other area businesses, and they quoted $800 less for the same tires and a fully completed job. When I asked the owner, Raffy, if I had been accidentally charged for the wrong tires, he shouted, used profanity in front of my child, called me "you people," and threatened that he knew where I lived. My son was traumatized -- he had never seen anyone speak to me like that. He also refused to release my car unless I paid in cash, despite advertising credit cards, Venmo, and other payment options, so I had to call the police. I was initially refunded the full amount by my credit card company after questioning the fees. However, I ended up paying the shop directly because of a small claims dispute. In court, it was confirmed that the hazardous materials and shop supply fees he charged were not actually used or standard practice, and he had to refund those fees to me. Many other reviews report similar behavior overcharging, shouting, and blaming the customer.

Steve got my car in right away, was able to promptly assess my car, and quickly determined the root cause. He also gave me (general) quotes and timelines on other services my car might need soon.

Showed up and they never even looked at the car. Adam went to the counter for 10 min and came back and told me they couldn't get to what i wanted. I needed 18110 in order to sell and I had no control over that number. Kbb trade in showed 16500-19600 as a trade in range. Which tells me they just wanted to low ball me. What an absolute waste of everyone's time. At least look at the car.

That's for DEXOS oil, by the way. They got me in and out within 90 minutes, which I thought was pretty damn good for a dealership w/out an appointment. Mats got vacuumed. No BS upselling and very friendly staff. Comfortable chairs are available in the lounge, along with complimentary snacks and beverages. I never got approached by a salesman trying to convince me to trade-in my car or any other nonsense like that. Even though its a 25 mile drive, I'm happy to take my car here and I will be back in the future.

I left a poor review like a year ago after these guys charged me $600 for looking at my BMW. They…read morekept it for a couple days and then admitted they don't know enough to figure it out. When I picked up my car the entire motor cover was still off and the screws were scattered around and missing. Once they seen the poor review I left they called me with excuses and told me to remove it. To my surprise just now, like a year or more later, they just called me again saying the guy who gave me the excuses last time "cleared things up" and to remove the review on here... Not very good business practice So here is my new review, a bit nicer, but I'm still not happy that my interaction with them was nothing more than wasting $600.

It has been to dealers in Hiawatha, Moline, and a transmission specialist who were all confident they could do the job. None of them were able to figure it out, but replaced many parts over that time. Then I was told that without permission the last guy had sent it to 4 Guys. I spoke with Brian once I found it was there and he let me know what he thought was needed and what he had found looking it over. He managed to get it running and I did a search for a replacement transmission. I'm happy to say that in just Three months Brian has been able to complete what 3 others haven't been able to get done in 3 years! Thanks Brian!
