For us, it was a stressful situation as we were traveling with a difficult toddler. They came out and got us in and diagnosed in less than an hour. They recommended a great coffee shop where we could wait, and one of the guys worked through his lunch to get us back on the road. All the guys were kind, honest, and the work was fairly price and completed in less than three hours. Highly recommend them whether you are local or passing through and a problem arises unexpectedly. We are incredibly thankful to them and for such a great experience.

Finally dropped off on a Monday and he looked at car without starting itand said that I needed a new carburetor as he didnt like the edelbrock I had . He quoted me a price and I said okay. I called several days in a row as he had said would be overnight but by Friday I hadnt a call back. Called saturday and he wanted car out of shop and asked for cash. Price quoted for carburetor was 200 dollars more. What could I due but pay and get out. Car ran worse than when I brought it in. Later he told me he never drove it or dyno tubed it. Be aware if you bring in your classic car. Get a written quote and promise of work he will do. I would never be fooled again by his slick ads on radio.

Curt has both exceptional hands on skills as well as a deep understanding of the nuances of specialized automotive care. Curt very clearly enjoys problem solving to a full resolution and treats the vehicle as if it was his own. Moreover, he does not limit his attention solely to the presenting problem but inspects the entire engine, suspension, electrical and frame to look for future or unrecognized issues. This level of care and at most reasonable pricing makes Classic Auto Works my go to place for peace of mind automotive care. I recommend Curt and Jimmy without reservation.

I will never return to Big Brand Tire, and I strongly recommend taking your vehicle somewhere else…read more I made a 9:00 a.m. appointment the day before and was already sitting outside on the curb when the employee who ultimately handled my vehicle arrived. For management's reference specificly, he was not wearing anything that identified him as an employee. His appearance was not the issue. His attitude and the way he handled my appointment were the issue. Between this description, the appointment time, and my service records, management will know exactly who I am referring to. There was no professional introduction, and the interaction felt disrespectful and unprofessional from the beginning. He seemed embarrassed that I was there waiting before he arrived, and it felt like his ego took over from that point forward. When he pulled up my appointment, nearly everything written in the notes was incorrect. By the end of the visit, he presented me with an estimate for more than $800 in supposed repairs. The amount seemed outrageous, and the entire situation made me feel like I was being taken advantage of. I declined the work, asked for my keys back, and paid more than $100 for the oil change they had already completed. I immediately drove across the street to SM Tire and asked them to inspect everything Big Brand Tire claimed was wrong. They checked my vehicle and after a multipoint inspection everything was fine. They rotated my tires, treated me with respect, and handled me like a valued customer. The difference between these two businesses was unbelievable. I left Big Brand Tire feeling frustrated, disrespected, and pressured into repairs I did not need. I left SM Tire feeling respected and confident that I had received an honest assessment. SM Tire was quick, responsible, honest, and reliable. They have earned my trust and all of my future business. Save yourself the frustration, wasted time, and questionable repair estimates. Skip Big Brand Tire and go somewhere that respects its customers and earns their trust.

Of all of the places I went, they were all very competent mechanics, but Andy & Lauri take the cake for Top Mechanic and Assistant. Efficient, complete, effective, affordable, and willing to listen and talk with you about your car needs. My car had a bad shake when I stepped on the brake, so he replace my rotors and took my car for a test drive voluntaraly (I can't hardly get most mechanics to do this when asked) to make sure it worked well. Andy said,"It worked good, but would probably be noisy for a few miles because of the coating on the rotors I had purchased." As predicted the noise was gone by the time I got home, and the ride was so much smoother. I was worried my brake pads might have worn prematurely because of the warped rotor, but he said they looked about 90% left so I was all good.
