I started using AW Auto Repair about 18 months ago on the recommendation of a friend who takes all…read moreof his vehicles -- both business and personal -- there. Michelle and Rick and Jim could not be any nicer, competent and agreeable. I'll admit that I am kind of a high maintenance customer, calling repeatedly to check the status, costs, etc., but they never make me feel like a nuisance! My most recent with them came experience on 1/10/15, I had been having trouble with my car for a few months -- unreliable heat, some shakiness on acceleration, etc. but on this day, I was on my way to the store early morning when my car started smoking from every orifice -- hood, tail, smoke even coming in to the car. Temperature gage shot way up to red, heater started blowing ice cold air and the windows were covered in a layer of frost. Re-routed to go straight to AW! When they tried to start my car and bring it in to the shop to take a look, it would not even start. At this point, I cleaned out the car (2005, 120K mile Honda) and made arrangements to borrow a car from my parents until I could go out and get a new one. Figured Michelle would be calling me with an astronomical repair cost and I would just take whatever I could get for parts. THREE DAYS LATER I picked up my car -- paid the $300 needed to replace a part and happily drove off in a vehicle that was driving like a new car! These guys are seriously top-notch!

It's been 15 years (holy crap that's a long time) and my original Pontiac is long gone, I brought in my current car for its first major issue. John was quick and thorough, gave me an incredibly reasonable estimate, and was able to get the repair done in a great time frame. I went to Belknap on a dealership recommendation and I recommend them to everyone. Also, they have a stop light in the parking lot! How cool is that?!

Based on a friend's recommendation, I took my car to ALtimate Auto Repair. They scheduled me for the very next day. From the manager to the technicians, everyone was extremely friendly and professional. They quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it in about an hour, all at a very reasonable price. There is no longer any oil leak, and the car is running well. In addition, a noise I had been hearing from underneath the car is now gone--they likely addressed that as well (possibly by tightening a loose component such as the muffler). I strongly recommend ALtimate Auto Repair.

Horrible customer service! Alex is a piece of work too. He won't accept the fact that he (or…read moresomeone from his team) damaged the window console to my car. He blamed it on everyone else, but him. Even though all of the evidence points to him or his crew. After speaking to him face-to-face, he was rude and dismissive. You would think that after bringing your car to this place for years, he would find a way to treat a loyal customer with respect, but no. If you're looking for a good mechanic with integrity, you won't find it here. If the option was there to give zero stars, I would. I guess one star will do! UPDATE: Alex, the owner, reached out to apologize for how rude he was when I spoke to him in person at the shop. He mentioned that he was willing to look at the window console at no cost. This was after he spoke to a member of his crew who had rolled down the window and helped work on my car. I appreciated the apology, but unfortunately, it was too late, and I've decided to cut ties with the company. Next time, take the time to listen to your customers, especially the ones that are repeat customers.
