They were full but the person who responded looked further and said we could squeeze you in at 4pm. We were so relieved as we just wanted to make sure the car was ready to go for the long trip ahead. And they were true to their word. Our car was taken in very quickly and besides doing the oil change, they did the usual thorough check. Fortunately, all was good as we do have our car inspected regularly. And they had a great discount going for the serve at that time so the price was very reasonable. Thank you Thrive folks! We are grateful! Our trip went really well. Andrea M.

Had to bring the car back twice to get an accurate diagnosis on the problem with my car. Although I had an appointment when I brought it in to have it repaired, I was told there's a chance they might not get to it that day. (It wasn't an urgent issue...why make an appointment if your schedule is full??) When I picked up my car after hours, the lockbox where my key was stored was left unlocked, and my car was also unlocked. And finally, after having my bakes serviced, the lug nut key was missing...requiring another trip back to the shop to pick it up. Overall, a frustrating experience.

We chatted about the awful pollen and cleaning it out of her boat and my convertible (mess). About the issue of no smog shops open on weekends.

I respond that "it being ONLY $5, is relative to who your talking about about. $55 can be a lot to some people." Now im not asking him to do anything. Not search the recipt, nothing.

Every time I have stopped in with a problem or a question, everyone has been so accommodating and helpful. There are so few places with integrity these days, I feel Anderson is overdue for a nod. I am a frequent traveler, and never know when I need a last minute service or repair. I have brought my car here for years. They evaluate fairly, and they do necessary repairs in a timely manner, always while considering the customer. Safety always comes first. There is no question in my mind and have complete trust in Anderson Auto. This is a top-notch facility, well-run and well-trained mechanics.

I took my truck in for a speedometer fix and and air-conditioner fix. Paid over 800.00. I hadn't driven the truck much after I got it back. Had to make another appt to reprogram my stereo that was messed up when it was at fritz a week later and the truck air conditioner was blowing hot air. Made another appt with fritz and they charged me another 160.00 for finding the leak. I ask why I was paying a second time but I was told they had to charge for diagnosis. I was always told if you do it right the first time, you wouldn't have to do it over.

Told them I would not be doing that and when I got my car back there was no cap on my coolant reservoir. Luckily I caught it quickly and went and immediately bought another one. Had them reimburse me for the cap but it was a shitty aftermarket cap and the functional original cap I've had to do without. Not to mention having to once again buy coolant. My engine block would have been toast had I not caught it as quick as I did. Could have been an honest mistake but also would have guaranteed I needed a new engine. Had never had an issue before but won't risk going back. Changed the head gasket myself for $800 after buying tools and parts.
