These guys are awesome. They didn't make me feel like a "dumb girl" or that they were going to try to charge me $1000.00 for a $10.00 part. They got me right in and told me exactly what was wrong and how much it would be. They fixed it in half a day and I can still eat this week! Yay! I will never take my cars anywhere else. Amazing service. Amazing prices. So glad we found them!!

Turns out if they had just replaced my damn Camshaft position actuator the problem would've went away! But no, they had me spend 2 grand OUT OF POCKET the first time, didn't fix my issue, instead I had a new one, and another 2787 OUT OF POCKET yet again to fix the issue THEY CAUSED!! And lied to my face as well as lost my ENGINE COVER! These people are ripping you off! DO NOT TRUST WHAT THEY SAY TO YOU THEY ARE LIARS and I have paperwork to prove it! ALL NEW FUEL INJECTORS, SPARK PLUGS, Intake Manifold Gasket and still the same issue.

Andy/Drew is one of the most honest and kind mechanics you will meet. He explains in detail what's going on, his prices are beyond amazing and he treats you with respect. Sometimes females are scared to get lowballed by mechanics, but his entire staff is always kind to everyone. I have no idea what I'll do if they ever leave! Also, a good friend of mine took his car to RJ wheels and they told him that it would be over $700 for the repair. I told him to get another bid on the work, and Chapin's charged $170. You want an honest mechanic? Head to Chapin's.

Three days later we stumbled across Andy and he fixed the timing belt for LESS THAN HALF what Tuffy estimated. (It didn't need a new thermostat, btw, which they wanted $75 for.) Plus I get the bonus of shopping local and speaking directly to the owner/mechanic. I agree with other reviewers: very honest guy who you can't help but like. Get a second opinion: take your car to Andy!!!

They jumped in the truck right after we got there and did a test drive. We were so thankful for the quick assessment. We had to fly home but they found a part and got it repaired in just a few days.

I'm the daughter of a mechanic and my dad was unable to service my car with him because he's in the…read morehospital. Because of that, I'm ABSOLUTELY weary of mechanics because I've been done dirty of ones who don't have the same integrity as my dad. Lots of unnecessary up-selling and repairs unnecessary for a rebuilt salvage title vehicle and TONS of scare tactics to make more money (very common with single women trying to get car repairs) That being said: my experience at Auto Emporium was a breath of fresh air after a ton of bad experiences. I had a general idea what was wrong with my car (difficulty starting/misfiring/stalling). They took detailed notes in what I could provide about the problem and instead of wasting time digging around, they reached back out to me for additional rounds of questions TO REALLY pinpoint what the root problem was. Too many mechanics are too stubborn to reach back out for questions of the owners which can help diagnose problems sooner - it's a huge time waster!! So having their staff with a running list of questions had my car fixed SAME DAY. That timeframe was absolutely insane to me. I love that they also took the time out to itemize EVERYTHING that came up on the inspection and while that did have a price tag, I now have a to-do list of the next repairs coming up so I can save up for them. It's relieving having answers for things that could be problems later. Additionally, since like-items were itemized I could pick and choose the repairs that absolutely needed to be done for this visit. One of my concerns was the hours of operation, but they have a great little lockbox system for car/key dropoffs. So don't let that deter you from using their services! All my in person/text/phone interactions were all great! My car is starting and running beautifully again after them flushing out my transmission system same day (which is a huge relief because I was trying to organize rides for 3am work shifts) That being said, if my dad is still out of commission for the other identified issues, I would totally come back and have them do the repairs.

I have 4 used cars that need basic maintenance and occasionally more serious repairs. After spending $7k in repairs on 3 different vehicles (in the last 60 days) I asked for a one time discount. The best they could offer me was $60 - less than 1% of the $7k I spent at Auto Emporium. Two of my vehicles still need about $2k in repairs, but I am not comfortable going back to Auto Emporium since it seems like they weren't interested in developing a long term relationship with me.

When we called in to make an appointment l, they were prompt and super friendly. After having our car and thoroughly checking/testing, they were unable to duplicate the issue. They offered great advice and next steps if it were to happen again. And then they didn't charge us for any of it. Honestly, I can't believe it and wish they would have at least charged us some amount simply because they were amazing and truly did help us. It's amazing to find this level of service and I will never go anywhere else! This is the kind of business that truly deserves its 5-star review. P.S. They do services like oil changes, too. I know where we will go when it's due for any service.

Campus auto not only was able to diagnose the problem, but they were incredibly honest and upfront with me about the overall condition of my car.

I would 1000% recommend their service to anyone who is looking for an honest-to-good mechanic.
