Couple hundred miles on so far, no issues outside of the ones that were already there lol. I'll be bringing our fleet to these guys moving forward. Thank you guys for the great experience! As a side note to pricing; it was right in line with what I would imagine anyone else would be. I'm sure it could have been more and could have been less, I wasn't shocked by the amount. :) 2009 Pontiac G6 for reference

Very honest, reasonable prices, and extremely good work! I always choose Arvin Auto. I've read all…read morethe other 4 5 Star reviews and absolutely agree with them. I and my parents have been coming here for 15+ years, never a complaint. I recommend them to anyone that I can. Pat (head mechanic) is a saint. He's VERY knowledgeable and very friendly. Since discovering Arvin Auto, I've made it a point to only get work on my cars done here. I may go other places for preliminary diagnostics or emergency, but I always come here for the work. They're extremely efficient in getting your car in and out; whether last minute or with an appointment. They've always been very honest: Ex being I'd go somewhere else and get a list of items that "needed" fixing. Then come to Arvin, and they'd say No you don't need that, it was just this XYZ simple fix, which would end up being much cheaper. All when they could've easily gone with the more expensive work, as I'd be none the wiser. Arvin often beats competitor's prices.

After doing some additional repairs the car was returned, however dashboard lights reappeared and they were unable to resolve it after multiple attempts. Shortly after while driving the steering assembly on the car completely fell apart requiring a flatbed tow, had this happened at higher speed on a highway this could have resulted in a fatality. The certified dealership mechanics who examined the car afterwards found that AAMCO failed to tighten the bolts to spec and all of the cotter safety pins were missing allowing the steering system to fail. Extensive damage was done to the underside of the car and it is currently not usable. After seeing the extensive damage, my dealership will not recommend AAMCO Ballwin to any of their customers in the future.

We purchased used for our son and daughter; a first for all of us, which has provided some learnings about how other people maintain vehicles.

In addition, our son really likes his muffler to have a louder sound, and Jeff and the team helped him get the "fancy exhaust" (my term). CarX also performs standard oil changes, and offers discounted family packs. Their team is dedicated and helpful (Eugene!).

First let me say I have been going to Car X for years for inspections and oil changes. Never…read morerepairs as we have a mechanic. I have always had a pleasant experience. 90% of the time I make an appointment and wait while the service is preformed. On occassion I have witnessed Jeff speaking with a customer who is less than happy with the service and he always responds in a calm and professional manner offering to correct the issue/problems. Until today. Our adult daughter, who works 4 part time jobs and goes to college full time called to get he car in for inspections, Tuesday was the appoIntment date at 10:30. Which was her only "day" off, but she still had a job that night. No contact all day from CarX. Around 5pm she called to see if her car was ready and she was told it will be ready tomorrow. Frustrated and confused as to why inspections take 2 days. We get a text Wednesday around 9am with the diagnostic info. I ask if it passed and was told to call. Meanwhile our daughter has to be a work by 11. I call and am told a fuel sensor needed replacing, they were waiting on the part which just arrived and cost was over $600, and the repair will take about an hour. I said "no repairs were discussed nor authorized, this is the first I'm hearing about it, we need to pick up her car asap so she can work." Again I was met with "it will only take an hour". I again said 'No". A little shocked with the "hard press" for the repairs as we have never had this from this shop. I took our daughter to pick up her car and the bill for "inspections only" was $197. Our daughter paid and got in her car to head to work leaving me with the paperwork. I went inside and questioned the diagnostic charge of $157 and was told it was due to the dash light. I asked if the dash light was on as it wasn't when it was dropped off. It was explained it was "pre-lit" and in order for it to pass it needed the new sensor. I added again.."it only came in for inspections, no work was talked about (other than this mornings conversation to which i said NO) nor any work/parts ordered authorized". It was at that point Jeff said "I'm tired of you not wanting to pay me for MY time, you do this all the time". I was SO taken back. I said "I'm not sure whom you have me confused with but we have never backed out of any repairs nor have we ever authorized any repairs from your shop and I don't understand where this (attitude) is coming from". Not much else was said between either of us and a credit was refunded for the diagnostics. Like I mentioned previously, I have been a customer for many years for inspections and oil changes, NEVER any repairs. For him to get that upset when his shop failed to inform us of the extra cost, parts needed, repair cost invovled, why it wouldn't pass inspections or the authorization to complete the repairs/order parts is insane! That aggression needed to go to his shop for failure to communicate, not the customer! PS, 2 hours later I paid for the plate renewal online, so guessing it DID pass ALL the inspections, unlike what I was told.

2018-06 / June I…read moredrive a 2005 Chrysler that is now 13 years old. The odometer just turned over 100,000 miles... thanks to a short drive to the office the miles have accumulated slowly. The car's not fancy but is paid off and drives well... thanks to JB Auto. It's much better thanks to some recent repairs. They replaced the oil pan gasket, and now the small leak is gone from the garage floor (Goo Gone had cleaned the concrete just fine; I just wanted the leak to stop). That provided a side benefit that, removing the pan enabled all the oil and the grit and grime from the 100,000 miles to also leave the engine. Then we confirmed two of the three engine mounts were worn down, so JB replaced them, too. The car now runs and sounds smoooothe.... so nice. Thank you, JB Auto, for keeping the car running so well! 2017: Our car required no repairs for eight years, but a few these past couple years. After the last repair we explored trading-in for a new car. I wanted some more confidence in our decision. I knew J&B from driving past it, next to Ballwin City Hall, on a regular basis, but just hadn't called them until now. I explained that we just needed to make a "should we keep it or trade it in" decision. Grant helped get us scheduled quickly. Their review was a good one, thorough and competent. It happened to also provide good news... the car is incredibly solid now, and may just need a couple things as it approaches the 100,000 mile mark. That was comforting overall, and on the pocketbook. We look forward to returning to J&B as soon as we do need repair work and do recommend them to others, for their honesty and straight-forward way of making sure the cars we drive keep running. Thanks, J&B!

Another occasion took a car in for oil change that was running roughly, but I was going to work on it and did not want them to do anything about it.
