I have had my rusty 13 year-old car in to Clements Auto for a few issues. The owner, Cletus, has been honest and forthright on every occasion, letting me know what needed to be done, what could wait, and how much it would cost.
On one occasion, my wife's vehicle was making noise when the brakes were applied. We called Cletus, who said the soonest appointment was 3 days away. 10 minutes later he called back and said he was concerned for her safety, and asked if she could bring it by for a quick inspection.
I have been completely satisfied with the repairs Cletus has made to our vehicles. In my opinion, he could charge double what he charges now, and I'd still bring our cars to him. Why? Because I trust that he's not trying to rip me off. If he says something needs to be done, it really needs to be done. If it doesn't he'll say so.
The only downside is that his reputation for honesty and good work has spread, and now it takes a long time to get your car in! read more
