    So my car started doing some crazy jolting when I drove it on April Fools Day so of course my…read morecomical self literally said out loud, "you've got to be kidding me!" I had never gotten my 100k tune-up, my car survived an accident of sorts and with the pandemic last year, it was rarely driven. The TPMS light came on last March shortly before the world shut down but I ignored it until my oil change at a Jiffy Lube in May 2020. They completed an oil change and advised me to go see the dealership about my TPMS light because they didn't have the computers to diagnose the light. I refused to go that route from past bad experiences with the dealership so I decided to wait out the problem. The light would stay on but my car did not drive any differently until April 1, 2021. So after I made it safely back home, I called up Dallas at Everything Automotive to see about getting my car in for diagnosis and repair. Despite it leading up into Easter weekend and he advising that my car may not get looked into Monday, his colleague Byron was able to look at my car Friday, diagnose and repair it after I had it towed to them that morning. I ended up needing a tune up, oil change, spark plugs, ignition coil and rear tire sensor replacement. Bryon thoroughly explained these needed repairs, the breakdown cost of each item and the total cost including tax by phone. Ever since my repairs, my car has brunning very smoothly and because of Byron's full explanation of everything, I'm also now prepared to encounter the next repair that may happen (possibly the replacement of the other tire sensors since they were all installed at the same time initally). I am still always blown away by their service. From explanation of costs to actual repair, they are hands down the best service facility you can entrust your vehicle with!

    I highly recommend this place!!! They are professional, they really looked into my car for any…read moreissue as I requested for, and they suggested to do what was urgent to take care of at this moment and I could wait to have the rest issues resolved later on giving me time to plan my finances. They are fast and affordable, honest people. It is my auto repair place to drop off my car in STL for now on. Thank you for being honest, I am very happy to meet you guys! Marilia

    I have never dealt with a more predatory or unethical towing operation. I parked in a lot with no…read morevisible sign in front of my car- the pole directly in front of my vehicle was bare when I parked. When I returned, my car was gone and a brand‑new sign had been installed on that same pole. I was not the only one: several other people were standing around just as confused, staring at a freshly installed sign and missing cars. It felt like the tow company waited until cars were parked, put up a sign afterward, and then immediately towed every vehicle in the lot. When I called the number on the newly placed sign, I reached an extremely rude employee who was clearly overwhelmed...understandably, because every person in that lot was calling the same number about their missing cars. We were all given the same story: our vehicles had been "taken to STL PD to be registered" and then would be towed to an unknown lot. Shockingly, the employee couldn't (or wouldn't) tell any of us where that lot was. This felt like part of a scheme to delay giving out the location long enough to force people into paying overnight fees. I'm persistent, so I kept calling back. Twenty minutes later, I was given the same story. When I asked which police station, she reluctantly told me South STL PD. I called that station directly, and the officer I spoke with immediately told me my car had never been there and helpfully looked up where it actually was: Hartmann Auto Center & Wrecker at 3301 Sublette Ave. When I called back with that information, the employee insisted the police officer was "lying" and that she couldn't guarantee I'd get my car that night. The moment I said I was on my way, suddenly she could get it for me- but only if I paid $500 cash and cash only. Once I arrived, the story shifted again- she claimed my car wouldn't arrive until 10:30 pm. It was 9:15. But as soon as I confirmed I had cash, my car magically appeared on a tow truck two minutes later. This directly contradicted all the earlier claims that they "didn't know" where my vehicle was. Inside, the employees became hostile the moment I mentioned that refusing card payments seemed questionable. There was a credit‑card machine visible on the counter, yet they refused to use it. When I asked basic questions or requested empathy, they escalated, threatened to keep my car until Monday, and even tried to kick me out while I was standing there with the money ready. Ultimately, the $500 cash disappeared straight into an employee's pocket, and I walked away feeling like I had no choice but to comply. There was no professionalism, no transparency, and no respect. Just intimidation and frustration. I feel genuinely sorry for anyone whose vehicle was towed from that lot that night- many of them probably still didn't know where their cars were. Scroll the reviews; I'm clearly not the only one describing an experience like this. I truly believe this business needs to be investigated.

    I was in STL with my 3 young kids for a doctor appointment for my special needs son when I got a…read moreflat tire. Unfortunately my minivan has a deflated spare, but not a portable air compressor. I was a little stressed, being 3 hours from home and not knowing how to handle the situation. The roadside assistance through my insurance showed Hartmann's was the closest towing company/auto center, so I went with it. I'm so thankful I did. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The gentleman that came to my rescue was incredibly kind. He got my spare aired up and put, then called the shop to see if they could help me out with the proper tire. Once I got to the shop, everyone there was so nice. The gentleman in the shop could have easily told me I needed a new tire and I wouldn't have known the difference, but he worked to find the issue and plugged it, which was a much cheaper option to get me back on the road. He also looked over my other tires and found a screw in another tire. I told him if it wasn't leaking air to just leave it and I would get it taken care of at home, but he didn't want to risk me getting stranded again on the way home, so he plugged that one as well for no additional charge and added air to the rest of my tires to ensure I would make it back safely. The whole encounter felt like I was back in my small town dealing with the generational family owned tire shop there. Good folks. I would recommend them to any and everyone.
