    I would leave no stars, but that's not an option. Carl does not follow through with promises and does not have a professional staff.

    15th Street Service Center

    (10 reviews)

    Shortly after moving to Great Falls I went to 15th Street Service Station. I had a lot of work done…read moreto my truck. They were extremely kind, professional, honest and straightforward. They were great at explaining to me the issues the vehicle was having or could have, and kept me informed and involved in all decisions and updated me with any possible price changes. More recently, I was involved in an accident. I chose 15th Street as the tow company. The tow driver picked me and my truck up. I was a bit shook up. I have no family here and was having an "i want my daddy" moment and Gary was very patient. Helped me out of my vehicle, as the door was stuck shut, explained processes to me. He helped me find words when I was too shook up to find them myself. He drove me to More than one car rentals, waited for me to get a rental. he went out of his way out of the kindness of his heart and made being far from home seem not so far.

    For almost five years until recently, 15th Street Service Center took care of my 2002 Audi A6, my…read more1991 Toyota forerunner SR5 and my 2013 Toyota custom trail forerunner. This shop's professionalism, expectation-setting, expertise, honest guidance, true pricing, timeliness and responsiveness cannot be praised enough by me. I had a diversity of vehicles that they were able to service from tires to alignment to mechanical to technology, etc. - especially troubleshooting what was wrong with my older vehicles, find parts and keep them running - and they could always fit me into their schedule no matter how busy they were, and meet the deadlines they set for pick-up appropriately. The staff was always kind, courteous, took lots of time to help you with whatever challenge you had, and always took the time to explain the issue and the choices you had to remedy the problem. I cannot recommend any vehicle mechanics and full-service fuel business in Great Falls for a service related business that is better than 15th Street Service Center. If I still lived there they would have my business for life. A special note: if you are a woman, I highly recommend this business because they are one of the mechanic shops that doesn't charge women higher prices because of their gender. If you are a woman and don't know your vehicles well, this is something many mechanic shops will often do. As a female bringing your vehicles to 15th Street Service Center, you can expect respect, honesty and the same prices as anyone else coming in. If you need repairs or anything for your auto, please consult this business. I highly recommend their services and their stellar workforce.

Sometimes a bit problematic, but that's a good sign! They're worth scheduling and waiting for. 2) I plan to drive this rig another 50-150,000 miles and these are the guys to see me through.

    My first ever negative review, I'm actually sad I'm writing this but the corrupt mechanic network…read morein Great Falls is ridiculous. I had taken my 4Runner into Carnahans and told them I wanted the entire coolant system gone through and changed unless it looked like it was performing like new. Radiator, hoses, hose clips, water pump, thermostat, timing belt, flywheels, I said everything. They came back saying everything was good except the water pump and thermostat. After they did that the heater core needed changing, no problem, that's what it needs. After they do what they do they call me at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon to pick it up. I do and drive it three blocks away and park it for a few hours. As soon as I start it up it starts pouring out all the coolant so I'm stranded outside after work in the -5 degree weather with my vehicle that had just spent two weeks in the shop. Called Monday morning at 8 and they said they can't get me in but if they get a cancellation they'll give me a call. This company clearly did not want my business. They were not willing to fix the issues their work caused. Will update if/when I hear from them.

    I purchased my used truck at Taylor's auto max, and was told to be sure to bring it to the attached…read morerepair facility for service. I brought it in for a problem with how the engine was running, and they did a tune up, and replaced the spark plug wires, and put in a new battery. That did not fix the problem. I went to another shop, which replaced the spark plug cables with quality cables with the correct capacity, and replaced the fuel filter, which fixed the problem. A few years later the battery failed. I went to a different shop (since Taylor's has proven ineffectual in my experience), which tested the battery for free,. The test was done while I waited. They said it was bad. I then looked at the original receipt and realized that the battery was installed by Taylors, and was still under warranty. I called Taylors, and they said I'd have to bring it in another day. I pleaded, since I live 60 miles away, and rarely bring the pick up to town. They relented and said they'd test it, but it would take two hours. I waited for three hours, and was told that there is nothing wrong with the battery. They then CHARGED ME $30 for telling me that they would not honor the warranty. I protested, and they said I couldn't have my truck back unless I paid. The service writer was unkind, unhelpful, sneering and unwilling to listen or understand my perspective. I spoke with the battery manufacturer, who said that they would replace the battery for free - honor the warranty - and give me permission to take it to a different retail outlet.

We spent the better part of two weeks looking not only around town but also at Lithia, and Kevin was patient and listened to all our wants, needs, and don't wants.

I highly recommend Kevin for his exceptional customer service and diligence in helping us find a vehicle.

    To start off I bought my Jeep from this dealership. I distinctly remember asking if he knew of any…read moreissues with that or similar models, to which I was told no. Mind you, the salesman may not have been aware of any at the time. However, I'm not sure their history with integrity should allot them the benefit of the doubt. I had been taking my Jeep in to them for years, trusting they were doing quality work and charging a decent price. Initially it seemed they were. Mind you, I don't know much past the basics of vehicle maintenance. So who knows how many times the swindled me before I caught them. This brings us to this 7/3/25. My Jeep started making clanging noises. I immediately took it in, especially being a single mom who understands the importance of mechanical performance in relation to vehicle safety. Upon taking my Jeep in I asked the clerk to tell the technician IT HAD TO BE DRIVEN to hear the issue. I even had her write it down. She said she would ensure they did and would call my when they were finished; but stated all technicians would be out for at least another 30 mins for lunch. Not even 30 mins later I received a call saying they looked it over and they didn't see any issues. This made zero logical sense for several issues besides the time difference, but I figured I'd go there and talk to them in person. When I spoke to the clerk she swore that they looked it over and saw no issues inside or out. So I asked her (while staring her dead in the eye) if they test drove it. She paused and said, "uhmm yep. They did." So I asked again, "Are you positive? Because I'm pretty positive there is something wrong but they won't be able to tell unless they drive it." She again affirmed they did. I then asked for a print out of their work. To this she responded, "Oh, you don't get a print out for them just doing a check like that." I said, "Really, because they have every other time?" She again said they didn't. So I asked, "Then how do I know they looked it over or what if I need to bring it in in reference to this visit?". She said, "Oh, well we have it documented in our system. Don't worry." Not wanting to fuss I left but immediately felt I was being lied to. However, it was the 4th (or day before) and I didn't want to make a fuss. Not even 2 mins after getting on 10th my Jeep started making the same horrendous clanging noise while also losing power in spurts. I drove it home on side streets. Then immediately called my dad to come take it for a drive. After which he told me DO NOT DRIVE IT-AT ALL! It's absolutely not safe to drive and they shouldn't have let you drive it out of that lot. We then had it towed back to the dealership following the holiday. Long story short after doing some research I found out there was a mass recall on Jeeps of similar makes for PTU failures. Some of the specific warnings about PTU failures are that they can cause you to suddenly loose power, loose the ability to stop, and even combust (aka catch fire). So I took it back in and talk to the SM(sales manager) who at first tried to deny I even brought it in DUE TO THEIR BEING NO PAPERWORK IN THE SYSTEM! I then told him the name of the clerk. He called her in and she acknowledged I was in but ONLY THEN ADMITTED IT WAS NEVER TEST DRIVEN! The SM swore he would do everything to ensure it was taken care of and earn my trust back. However, they then tried to charge me for the recall work-ALL OF WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED! Clearly he failed, but then a new SM came in. Maybe things would be different. 3/4/26-Instead they again charged me for damages to a bolt that "somehow" was missing despite being told that it had to be removed physically. However their own mechanic even stated in front of them, "UNLESS it was damaged due to the extra stress due to the PTU failure." Plus it is in the same area where they had to go in to repair my PTU. I had them put it back on the lift and show me both areas. So if you are looking for honesty, integrity, and pride in the workmanship AND leadership behind it, I suggest you go anywhere but here. Period.
