The quality of their work is absolutely the best. They have relined brakes done oil changes, worked on my engine and replaced the tires on my daughter's car when it was needed. Veterans Auto has done it all for my family and me. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else for work on my car now. Mike is the manager of this team, and what a great team they make. Do yourself a favor if you need auto work done, see Mike at Veterans Auto first. His rates are always fair for the quality of work performed.

They told me that the serpentine belt needed replacement because of eminent failure. Their estimate was over $250. for replacement. I just now replaced my serpentine belt and see that my "old" belt is still in perfect condition! No cracks or fractures of wear. It still looks like new! Beware! Complete Auto seems to claim needed service when it does NOT need replacement! Beware of their "recommended" service needs for your auto. I will NOT go to them for any service from now on.

I live on the east coast of Florida. I happened to be visiting family in the area. When I exited…read morethe highway, I had a very unusual issue with my brakes. My parents recommended I take the car right over to see Rubin. He called within an hour of dropping my car off to give me the details. Turned out to be the vacuum pump. The professionalism was spot on. The next morning he called me at 9am to let me know my car was ALREADY available for pickup. When I picked it up, I know he stayed late into the night and arrived early to get the job done. Maintenance comes at a cost, however, it was MORE THAN fair. And the time - impeccable. Rubin runs a legit auto repair shop that I HIGHLY recommend. He is also a Dolphins fan. FINS UP! Thanks Rubin!

I scheduled an appointment for a basic oil change and tire check (rotation if needed)…read more After the work was done, I was told my vehicle was ready and the tires were good. The final bill was tallied: $104, which I thought was a lot, but I assumed it was the 3.5% up-charge for paying be credit card (which I did know about, but forgot to bring cash). I said something about the cost and that's when I was told the license plate bulb had burned out and had been replaced. No one said anything before changing it, no one asked me if I wanted it changed, and frankly I didn't. When I responded exactly that (you didn't tell or ask me) the reply was: "But you'll get pulled over for that." Bullshit, I say. Truth is I was told that light was out the last time I had the oil changed, and I declined replacing it then. That was 4 months ago, one major drive trip to FL's east coast and back, and not a single siren in my rearview. What's really bothering me is that I finally looked at the itemized bill when I got home: $14.99 for a flippin' light bulb. (Which, I don't doubt, I could get for half, or maybe 3/4s, of that at an auto parts store.) Maybe it's a good thing they changed it b/c I forgot to do it when I was first told it was out last oil change. But that's not the point. Bottom line: request your Customer's permission before doing an add-on. Period.

Especially impressive is their waiting area, which has been newly renovated to follow covid safety guidelines. Matic is an expert mechanic, but the MVP of this shop is the service manager, Kay. She keeps in contact during the repair period and follows up afterwards to make sure everything is okay. After my Porsche was repaired, Matic invited me to view the underside of the chassis while it was on the lift. As the car was new to me, he pointed out a lot of the good things about the condition of my 911. His best piece of advice was to not to let it sit in the garage. He recommended I just drive and enjoy the car. My car drives great after installation of it's new struts. I feel I was treated well and fairly by Matic and Kay. I would leave my car with them again.

Had to go back multiple times to get them to fix the problems (they only partially fixed it in the end) the mechanic that fixed my car already knew about when he gave it back to me. Asked the owner for some kind of discount for my trouble (10%) and he laughed at me and told me companies don't give discounts for the problem job only future work when I came back again. In what world would someone come back when the mechanic knew he left it damaged and gave it back to the customer in that condition?

Thinking it was a transmission problem and fearing a new transmission cost, I took it a nationally advertised transmission company. It was 4:30 on a Friday afternoon, the ad stated open till 5:30pm. When I arrived, it was closed tighter than a drum. Another car service center in that same shopping center was kind enough to take a look at it, even though it was closing time. They diagnosed the problem, but were not open on the weekend and recommended Tom Joyce Auto Repair Shop, said that shop was open on Saturday even called and left msg on answering machine. I took the car at 0745 for the opening time of 0800. The one and only mechanic said he had lots of work already scheduled and closed at 1230 on Saturday, but he would try to take a look. I told him my situation, and that I needed to be back to work on Monday, he said he do what he could, I left the car. I feared the worst! He called me back at almost five o clock, told me that it was just a universal joint, which he replaced for what I considered a very reasonable price. I'm sorry I don't remember his name, but this man went well above and beyond his duty to service me and well past closing time, and I would recommend this repair shop to anyone! On Sunday, we made it home on time, 8 hours drive later, and had no more issues. Now that's service! Len Sea, Atlanta, Ga.
