I know enough about cars not to be taken advantage of but I freely admit I don't know about the Adblue system as it's too new. My leak was a pretty big problem and needed to be treated quickly before it caused catastrophic failure. They could have taken me for a ride, like the Audi dealership does, and tried to sell me or coerce me into major repairs. Well they didn't. They handled my issue on the lowest level possible for the best price. The cleaned out my system, isolated the leak and made a patch. Been driving for weeks now with no follow up issues. Not only did they give me a good repair, but they saw me that day. They understood the potential problems that the leak could balloon into and made room for me that day, and their shop was full. Business is booming and I can see why, they are just good!!! Will be going back for all my Audi repairs!

Flat Black was recommended to me by a friend when I was literally stuck on the side of I-5 (on a…read moreweekend!) and needing someone I could tow my car to ASAP. I left the car outside their shop, tossed my key in the key drop, and first thing Monday they gave me a call with a time they'd be able to look at the car. Luckily, the problem was a minor one, and they had it fixed and back on the road in a matter of hours - for less than $50! When my daughter, who lives in Bham, was borrowing my car recently and wanted to get it inspected before considering purchasing it, she dropped it off at Flat Black for a thorough look. They called me that afternoon with a detailed list of what needed to be done, and how the car looked overall. They gave it an oil change, serviced the transmission, and a couple of other things - all in a couple of hours. I got the car back from my daughter yesterday and it's running better than it has in months. It's sometimes hard to feel like you're making a good choice when finding someone trustworthy to take care of your vehicle; but I would not hesitate to bring my car to Flat Black again if it needed anything done.

I can't say enough good things about Armstrong Family Autocare without sounding like a paid…read morepromoter or something, but believe me, this was an OUTSTANDING car repair experience!! Be honest: how many mechanics have you dealt with who actually aim to reduce the cost of the service?! Alex did!! My old '99 Voyager was acting wonky; it would start but then some components would work while others wouldn't.. one day the windows operated, but the wipers or heater fan wouldn't; the next day NONE of them worked; the next day they all worked fine.. and so on and so on Got a brand new top-of-the-line Napa battery.. didn't help .. so then I had the alternator tested by 3 different places who all said it had a bad diode, so I reached out to a few companies here, got quotes, and Armstrong's was the most reasonable price (plus nearby my place) so I brought the Voyager in, crossing my fingers that some unknown -expensive- additional work wouldn't be urged on me, as I've frequently experienced with other repairs Long story short, Alex told me it actually wasn't the alternator being bad, it was the ignition switch, and I gotta be honest and say I was hugely skeptical because the other companies had advised me to get a new alternator, why would they recommend it if it wasn't the problem? ...but I decided to trust Alex, and the repair cost was literally HALF the cost of replacing the alternator (which was already a very reasonable price!) But this morning was the iron test: would everything work like it did when I picked up my vehicle? IT SURE DID --the wipers, the windows, the heater fan ALL WORKED AT THE SAME TIME!! That hasn't happened in forever! LOL This review is getting long but I wanted to share the deets because frankly, given the symptoms, the tests AND my belief in the test results... Alex could have very easily done the cheaper ignition repair but said nothing and charged for the more expensive alternator replacement that I was asking for -and I wouldn't have known the difference and would've just been happy to have things working- but he was honest and upfront and didn't take advantage of my ignorance.. like other shops around here have done or tried to do to me in the past How awesome is THAT?! So believe me when I say that everyone reading this who might be searching for a mechanic they can trust as much as they'd trust a friend to do the work (if they had the skills) .....look no further This is a good person who does good work! ~~listen to Grandma, now~~

So I don't usually write reviews, but I feel it is necessary in this case…read more I originally had my car towed to Joe's Automotive as my car battery was drained(0.01V display from multimeter), I recently just installed a new alternator, brand new terminals/connectors for the battery, and a remanufactured starter. All the attempts to start had drained what charge was left from the battery, and I suspected the starter was bad and possibly draining the battery. To their credit they got the car started, but the only change was slightly different cable angle on the starter & alternator, and severely damaged battery terminals that look like they have been smashed in with a hammer, and tightened so tight that they can no longer be removed. I took before and after photos of the engine, and these are the only things that were altered, so I can only determine that they charged my battery successfully and slightly changed the angle of the battery connections, and then smashed in my terminals so they could no longer be removed. I was then charged $280 for this privilege. The only saving grace was that they also confirmed the starter was bad, which I thought was the case anyway, and once I swapped out and reinstalled a new starter it functions properly. (The starter ended up melting the testing device used at the location I bought the starter...) TLDR: They recharged my battery, shifted cable placement, smashed in my battery terminals so they are now permanent battery fixtures, and charged me almost $300 for that amazing service... Edit for owner response: Which specific wire are you claiming to have melted? There are only three wires/cables that connect to the starter, the positive battery cable, the starter solenoid wire, and the negative battery cable to ground. None of which were replaced OR melted. Do you have any pictures of these melted mystery wires? The bolts were also not tightened to the point that the report claimed, as my wireless ratchet wrench is not physically capable of tightening them to that degree, as it automatically stops when it meets resistance. It cannot overtighten things. The alternator was also installed correctly, there are only two connections to the alternator and both were fully connected and in the same locations before and after pickup. "would never damage parts of the vehicle to get things back on." My mangled battery terminals beg to differ, as my attached pictures can attest. They were brand new and installed that same day actually, not a scratch on them until they were brought to you guys. The damage didn't just magically appear on its own.
