They said it was the starter and replaced it at a cost of $940+ !!!! I went to the shop for an explanation of the ridiculous price tag. At 2pm the place was locked, dark and abandoned, no one in the building, Sign said, "Open." Weeds growing all around. Junk everywhere. Cracked window. I called to ask if they were open. "Yes, I'll be there in 15". After he arrived, went inside to a tiny, no-seating area that was so disgustingly filthy I couldn't touch anything! He proceeded to lie about the cost of the starter and labor. When I told him I had just called an auto parts store to find out price, which was about $200, and the easy to replace part plus diagnostics should take about 2 hours, he kicked me out, "Get out of my shop!" Later, my nephew paid and picked up the car. The very next day it was dead as a doornail and had to be towed to a real auto mechanic! NEVER use this dishonest, scammy business! 5 Star is a zero star "mechanic!!!"

We had a great experience at Skay Automotive last week. They had very favorable reviews on both Yelp! and Google, so we knew we needed to give them a try. Conveniently located within walking distance of our house; even better! We're still pretty new to the Iowa City area after moving here from Cedar Rapids a couple of months ago. We were unable to get into our former mechanic back in CR because of a 3-week wait. This prompted us to tell ourselves that it was just time to find someone in Iowa City. Who wants to commute 40 minutes when you have a car issue? A tire on our Mazda CX-5 had a leak. My husband called Skay on a Tuesday and they were able to get us in for an appointment a couple of days later. We dropped off the car the night before said appointment and used one of their overnight deposit envelopes for our key. Envelopes were great because you could fill it out according to what you wanted to have the mechanics inspect. Vehicle was ready to be picked up before 10am the next morning. The mechanic(s) pulled a screw out of my tire, repaired the tire and completed an oil change. So happy my tire was saved! At our request they also checked the condition of our brakes. More than fair prices. We appreciated the breakdown of the services they performs and everything was printed on our invoice. The reviews are true! Skay will be our top pick for automotive repairs going forward. Highly recommend.

Really good mechanics may seem like geniuses to us mere mortals, but Raffy most definitely is an…read moreabsolute genius. That's reason enough to bring him your most troubling automotive puzzles. But if that's no enough for you, I can personally attest to this man truly being a genuinely caring individual who actually wants to help his customers. Raffy will solve your vehicle problems in a way that will make you feel very glad you met him, and really smart you chose his shop out of the dozen or so good ones in Iowa City. He's completely honest and open about your issues and what it will take to fix them, and the price he will charge you is verifiably fair. He works fast, his repairs are accurate, and if you're a DIY'er who normally does your own work, he will take the time to educate you and show you what you missed, and how to do it better the next time. And on top of all that, Raffy is seriously a nice man who will treat you with kindness and respect, while doing his very best to get you back on the road. I would highly recommend you make his shop your first and only choice for any and all automotive repairs, whether you live in Iowa City Iowa, Fort Worth Texas, or anywhere else in between. Thank you So Much Raffy!

Police intervention was required…read more I had an extremely upsetting experience at #1 Auto Repair while traveling from out of town with my 9-year-old son. I got a flat tire and went to the nearest repair shop, as I have run-flat tires. After agreeing to a price for four tires, I left the shop and spoke with family, who thought the price seemed very high. I later contacted two other area businesses, and they quoted $800 less for the same tires and a fully completed job. When I asked the owner, Raffy, if I had been accidentally charged for the wrong tires, he shouted, used profanity in front of my child, called me "you people," and threatened that he knew where I lived. My son was traumatized -- he had never seen anyone speak to me like that. He also refused to release my car unless I paid in cash, despite advertising credit cards, Venmo, and other payment options, so I had to call the police. I was initially refunded the full amount by my credit card company after questioning the fees. However, I ended up paying the shop directly because of a small claims dispute. In court, it was confirmed that the hazardous materials and shop supply fees he charged were not actually used or standard practice, and he had to refund those fees to me. Many other reviews report similar behavior overcharging, shouting, and blaming the customer.
