Alright so I don't know crap about cars. When I noticed a horrible grinding noise nearly every time…read moreI would brake I 1. Decided to ignore it hoping it would just go away (because that's always a good plan, right?) 2. Call my brother to ask him if he knew what the sound meant. That call went like this: Me-"something is wrong with my car. It's making a weird noise." Brother-"what kind of noise is it making? Can you make it for me?" Me-"sure, it's like 'greeeeaaatchhh' when I press the brake." Brother-"what does it sound like again?" Me-"GREEEEEAAATCHHHH". Brother-"hmmm, make the noise one more time." Me-"GREEEEAAATCHHHHHHH!" Brother-(and all of his buddies at work) all laughing like fools...because he put me on speaker so that all of them could hear my ridiculous noise. Grrrr. Thanks, bro. He wasn't sure but he thought it was the brake pads that needed to be replaced and said to call our dad. My dad pretty much confirmed what my brother said and told me exactly what to go in and say and made me repeat it back to him because "if you sound like you don't know what you're talking about they might try to screw you over and if that happens I'll have to drive there and kill someone." LOL. Anyway, the guys at Firestone diagnosed the problem and all are professional and courteous. As I write this review I'm waiting on my new front brake pads. The waiting room is nice and has plenty of places to sit and wait and there's complimentary coffee and water. They also have a vending machine for a snack should you want one. I'd definitely come here again if I needed any car repair needs or tires.

I'm a new customer. They called me about a few major problems they found that they knew I couldn't fix myself like a leaking rear main seal, etc. they made me an incredibly good deal since the engine and transmission were already apart. They did all kinds of stuff for me and called me at 4:30 the same day! Never seen a shop work so fast! Drives like a dream!

Super nice and knowledgeable guys! I was quoted $4500 on a transmission repair, and as they started…read moretaking my car apart, they kept finding more things that needed repaired. My total ended up being around $7000. It would have been very helpful to have an accurate quote (which could have been managed by them looking into the manufacturer's recommendations regarding that model's transmission before quoting me a lower price). When they had finished the repair, they caught a crack in the transmission housing (which seems to have been the manufacturer's fault). They communicated with me about that very well, and completed the repair with no hassle or extra cost. Their warranty appears solid, and the car runs great!

You can tell it's a family run business who cares about their work. Even the very young female office workers are better than seasoned older ones I've seen at shops before.

The first mechanic was fine and fair but took only cash. So for the second problem I needed a Certified one approved by Endurance Warranty. I'm having to appeal both REJECTED claims with them; what a pain! But not with JOHN MARTINEZ of Auto Master. By 2:30 the same day he'd diagnosed that the key fob transponder was dead. Replaced them. And after 7 years and 234k miles, it wasn't a surprise. John took care of it and I traveled the 5 hours from home to get my car 2 days later. Super nice guy in a busy shop. (He likes classics too so you know he knows what he's doing.) Being NAVY aviation man gave him creds with me too. In my business TRUST is absolutely essential because clients rely on my guidance to avoid the nightmare of probate for their estate after they die. Dealing with an auto problem far from home is very precarious too: Who are you to trust in a far away city? It's too easy to take advantage of someone in my situation.
