Lou doesn't even really repair Benz but was so sweet and offered to do diagnostics for us and give us a price to get it on the road, safely, so our son could enjoy showing off its unique color - because honestly that was all he was really concerned with. Ahhhh kids! Thank you Lou for repairing what was needed and giving us a great price on four new tires I feel that our son is safely on the road thanks to you! I now see why your place is always crowded with customers! We have five kids, I'm sure this won't be the last time one of them purchases a vehicle in need of repair, we will be back!

Lenny and Mike are wonderful and knowledgeable about everything cars... especially when I walk in saying my car is making this (dumb) sound or the "butt" light or "candy" light is on! They don't have exorbitant prices, I consider them to be fair or better to their competitors. My last service was on 2 of my 3 cars having to jockey back and forth which car can they do first and according to what they needed. Pretty much at the same time. They made it super simple. Mike and Lenny's staff are incredible smart and really funny. (Prior to Covid) I liked to wait for my car to be done just so I could go and watch the "show" The shop is clean, front desk is friendly and helpful. Even the ladies bathroom is clean (unlike other shops I've been in) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business for your car maintenance! They treat you like family!

Expect to wait a long time and get overcharged. My alternator died on the highway a few miles from…read morethis repair shop. I'm not from the area, so I took the tow truck driver's advice and told him to tow it to L and M. I dropped my car off on a Saturday afternoon when they were closed. With the key, I left a detailed note explaining what happened to the car and the exact service I wanted them to perform. I clearly told them to replace my alternator. I spoke to someone from the shop Monday morning when they opened for business. They said they would start looking at the car sometime that same day. A short while before close of business Monday I called about my car because no one had called about it. They tell me they didn't get a chance to look at it at all. Tuesday morning rolls around and I get a call before noon telling me that they ran a $180 diagnosis to figure out I needed an alternator. Really? Yes, I know that. I told you specifically when I dropped the car off Saturday my alternator died. They then started going over prices to do the job. The best they could do was $500 for a rebuilt alternator that sells online for less than $300. Also, supposedly my 2 year old battery wasn't holding a charge, so they would have to replace that. By the end of the phone call, with parts, labor, and the extra fee they hit me with to find out what I asked them to do was in fact true, I was looking at a $1364.09 bill. At this point, I should have had my car towed to my house to do the work myself, but that would have cost a lot because I don't live close to the shop. I told them to start working on the car and they said they would order the parts that day and maybe start working on the car Wednesday. No sense of urgency whatsoever. Wednesday goes by and I didn't hear from them. Thursday I called around noon or so. They said they got the parts Wednesday and someone was working on it. Got the parts Wednesday? I could have gone to a local auto parts store, got the battery and alternator, and dropped them off Monday. Multiple locations had the parts in stock. I politely asked they call me back when the car was done. Before close of business Thursday I received a call saying the car was done and my total was $1,364.09 and asked if I wanted to pay over the phone. I said I would pay when I picked it up. I was unable to get the car until Monday morning. When I arrived to pick the car up, I explained my displeasure with the extra charges and how long it took to fix my car. I offered to pay $1000 cash, which I felt was a reasonable amount for the work performed. The owner didn't care about my displeasure, and felt confident with the overpriced bill. The one star I gave goes to the mechanic that I presume did a good job with fixing my car? We'll find out I guess.

Trotter's Auto Repair (owned & operated by father & son, both named Keith) is the only business…read moreI'll trust with my Jeep. I brought it in today because I've noticed the acceleration (or something) felt "off" to me. I have a basic understanding of how cars operate, at best, so it's difficult to accurately explain what the problem is so they can fix the mystery ailment. As they've done in the past, they called later in the day, taking the time to give me the details of what they found, what was done, and patiently answered my questions with kindness. Trotter's Repair operates with the highest degree of good old- fashioned honesty, integrity, efficiency and respect. I am incredibly grateful for the level of care they provide & relieved to know they're willing to fix another "I don't know, but it sounds weird..." problem.

We were told yesterday afternoon that she could drop her car off even though it was after service hours with the gas attendant. They called today that it wasn't anything serious and she could come and pick up her car. I asked how much and was told not to worry about it. How fortunate we were to find such a honest and kind service station. Wish we had months earlier when were taken advantage of for a part needed for her car. Won't go anywhere else now.

Affordable Automotive was a refreshing change from the usual places, and made the process as easy as can be. The staff here are incredibly friendly. As soon as I arrived, Walt & the rest of the crew greeted me and chatted as if I was a customer for years. I explained the situation with my car (the AC decided to blow up right when the weather finally got warm, figures), and within 2-3 business days, they had it blowing better than new. The best part though, was that they kept me informed throughout the entire process - including sending a video text message to explain and show where the leaks were, which I found to be both incredibly helpful and a really nice touch, in terms of service. Hey, it's the little things that count. They even go over the rest of the car and let you know what will likely be a problem in the future, but weren't really pushy to get them fixed. Prices were on-par / cheaper than other reputable places nearby, and if you own property in Brick township, they (as of this writing) are part of the "Buy in Brick" program, which shaves a few bucks off your property taxes at the end of the year, a nice touch. They even sent a personalized thank-you card after the service was complete. Hopefully I don't need any repairs in the near future, but if I do? I know where I'm going.

One of the owners, Greg doesn't have social skills on explaining and just pulling what to charge you out of his ass as much as he thinks he can rip you off. Charging you $500 for oil pan that cost about $35 and only takes about 15 minutes is bad business as they don't realize there is yelp, social media, word of mouth, etc. Shame on you for bad business, no wonder why you are not that busy! Just found from Greg that they charge the hourly rate from what the dealership charges for whatever car you have. So I could have gone to Toyota instead of them. They check dealership price and do not have set prices for them only. You are definitely not & wrong name of your business "Affordable Automotive"!

During service Tom indicated that he was not going to service the fuel system. First saying there was a recall then that he would discuss the issue with a VW tech and get nack to me. Following this conversation, I got no response. If I had known that there were certain services that he would not or could not perform, there is no way I would have brought my car there. When I reached out, Tom recommended that I bring it to a local dealership after I pick it up... Finding a trustworthy mechanic not to mention a VW specialist isn't easy and unfortunately this is one shop I won't use again and I can't recommend! One final note, the invoice I received listed the costs for labor and parts combined which makes charges hard to dicifer.
