It was a flat rate of ~$70 to get my car towed there and they got me fixed up and good to go within 3 days (as they are closed on Sundays). Technically, since two things broke, they needed to do two operations. The person I spoke with said that since they only worked in the one area anyways, that he changed the hours of labor which saved me close to $200. On top of that, my misaligned wheel is now aligned as well! Tl:dr; Fixed my car as fast as they could. Did a good job. Didn't try to gyp me.

UPDATE TO A PREVIOUS POST:…read more After taking the '02 Pontiac Grand Prix in for a used car purchase inspection, I truly appreciated the thorough nature of Al's discovery process. When I drove the car there to be inspected, I thought the car sounded and drove wonderfully, yet I was wrong. Bill, Ed & their team found more than I expected...a book of issues that included oil in the coolant system. Not a good thing, However, a discovery that helped me make the right decision. So yes, I recommend Al's for a used car inspection. Very thorough! P.S... the car lot I was going to buy the car from actually complained that Al's was: "...too picky and showed too much on their list". Well, they did exactly what I expected....they protected me from a bad car buying decision. THANK YOU!!!!! Rick (A simple dad buying his teen daughter a car)

They ordered the part and got it fixed! I dropped my car off the night before and they had it done by noon the next day. The front desk guy, Gavin, is also the sweetest! He asks questions to make sure you get everything looked at that you need to. I had an oil change, and a diagnostic test done, and they switched out alternators. I would 100% recommend and do repeat service with everyone at Al's! They also charge a reasonable price for all of their labor, products, and knowledge, they will not "pink tax" a female!

Recently, I was looking to get a 4 wheel alignment for my BMW. Rather than taking the job, they were honest and referred me to a couple of European shops that specialize in alignments for euro cars. Even though they did not do the work, they've earned my business the next time I have non bmw work. They would rather the work be done properly, even if it's not their shop, rather than just make money.

I am basing my review on routine maintenance performed. (Fortunately, I haven't needed any major…read morework since moving to the area.) The staff was friendly and helpful during my call to schedule service and on the day of service. I didn't have to wait long during the service. This is all good, but probably true of many places. What set this service apart from other good automotive service I've had was the Vehicle Inspection Report I received. I got a text with a link to the report. It was like other reports I've received when getting vehicles serviced - a multi-point inspection with color-coded indicators of the status of each item . . . with pictures! I could see the air filters, the fluid checks, and the corrosion on my battery terminals (which made me feel more comfortable authorizing a little extra work). Maybe this is the future, but it was a first for me. Very helpful! My only slight disappointment is that I prefer to wait during service, and this option is usually reserved for early morning or early afternoon. It would be nice to have a little more scheduling flexibility, so I give John's 4.5 stars, (rounded up)!

I wanted to give these guys ten stars. Not for the service necessarily, but for another reason…read more My 2014 Cherokee was leaking oil for a week, so I went to John's website and got an appointment. Upon taking it in, it was a routine check in/drop off procedure. They got back to me the same day, but here's where they won me over. My repair was fully covered under Jeep warranty, so taking it to the dealer would cost $0. Al, who advised me of my options said I could just go get it fixed free at the dealer (which he communicated to them before I went). The point is that these guys could have easily gone the "shady auto shop" route and charged me for something the warranty covered, but instead these guys were honest. My car is fixed, and these guys saved me $600. Will definitely recommend them

Fortunately, Derek and the crew are hands down the kindest, most understanding, helpful, patient people around. They are great about answering questions and giving options for repairs. They are quick to schedule you (even when parts are hard to come by). While the supply chain issues are making it difficult to do their jobs, they are definitely providing the most courteous, professional custom service I could ever ask for.
