We were both in line. He told us to move over in a very aggressive manner. My car failed for not having a secure battery. The man taking my payment was rude and said I seemed annoyed. I was asking if I got it secured, would I have to wait in line again. He then proceeded to tell me that he didn't get payed enough to deal with my attitude and that I should take my attitude somewhere else. I have never been treated like this especially being a paying customer who in no way was disrespectful. I will never use this place again, nor would I recommend anyone using this place of business.I would give zero stars is possible.

I would not recommend this place. I was originally quoted a little over $1,100 for a repair. Later,…read moreHaydee M. called to say the aftermarket part they ordered didn't fit, so they would need to order a dealer part, which would take another week to arrive. At no point during that conversation was it mentioned that the cost would increase significantly, yet there was no problem telling me they found another problem that needed fixed. When I went to pick up my car, I was shocked to find the total was over $1,800. That's a major increase that should have been clearly communicated beforehand. If I had been informed, I could have decided whether to move forward with the repair. Instead, I was put in a position where I had no choice but to pay in order to get my car back. On top of that, after looking up the cost of the parts, it appears they mark them up by at least 40%. Proceed with caution. People don't write bad reviews for absolutely no reason.

Two out of the three auto technicians I encountered greeted me with a pleasant "Good morning!". My vehicle was pulled into the bay, the work was completed and I was out the door 45 minutes later.

Sharing my personal experience in hopes it's no one else's…read more Big daddy's- I had my car inspected previously.. even one that I knew wouldn't pass that we just bought and was going to get a "what I need to fix to inspect" list. A young man worked there. He was lovely & very helpful. Upon returning with the check list completed for the new vehicle my niece was greeted by a rude man who said the list wasn't completed. (We did the work and I knew it was done, I also have a family member who owns a shop- unfortunately they don't do inspections) That was her experience & I was surprised to hear she was treated this way but I won't speak on it much bc it wasn't my experience. Fast forward to my car needing inspected this year. I greeted a cheerful "Goodmorning I'm here for an inspection" and was returned with a dry "you all need to get out" (referring to my 3 young daughters).. no biggie. That was expected but that completely set the tone for my experience. I waited in the office with my daughters and watched as he helped the man behind me. I'm not one to "cry" (you'll understand the quotes shortly) about being treated differently as a woman. Anyways he failed me for a phone holder that I popped right off my dash and a broken stud on my tire. He stated several times he'll double check and make sure it's done correctly & I don't "just screw something on it". And even dismissed my "oh that shouldn't be hard to fix" with a lovely comment of "it won't be for this". I left and promptly went to the auto store and bought the whopping $8 worth of parts I needed to fix the issue. When I got home to fix the issue it wasn't broken I returned this morning to a long line and decided to walk in and see if there was a way to have my rejection sticker amended. (I'm not entitled just looking for a quick fix to an issue that could have been avoided) The lovely manager told me I could CRY to the police and he'd be happy to have them come down to the shop himself. I was pretty shocked as I walked in calmly and wasn't being rude & even stated that when I received such cold feedback. I clarified I was just trying to get a passing sticker as I paid yesterday for a rejection over (now technically) a phone holder I could have popped off and a lug nut I would have been happy to pay for. -which is a normal thing to be offered for a small issue as such. He told me to go somewhere else which was absolutely the plan anyways. And yes I lost my shit at the end when I walked out. He was an asshole and he deserved to hear it. Idk what my point of this post is besides venting. But this is absolutely NOT in sweet little Berryville fashion. No my opinion won't close a business. I don't expect it too. I'm not on here to argue. But I absolutely didn't deserve the treatment I received.

Now, I will tell you, we have patronized their establishment since we purchased the vehicle for regular maintenance, and they have always been wonderful. However, it was not until we were in real distress that the true value of this establishment shone through! Ben Shabib has been working with us from the beginning, and he is truly a Godsend. In addition to knowing my wife and I BY NAME and greeting us with professionalism and respect EVERY TIME, he PERSONALLY took an interest in the status of our repair job. Regardless of what vehicle you drive, A1 is truly one of the best service centers I have ever known. If you have car troubles, and are within three states of these guys, it is WORTH THE TOW to get your vehicle to them. I could go on, but I am worried about running out of space in this review. Thank you, A1 Auto Service Center, and WELL DONE!
