so grateful for the fine folks at guaranteed automotive…read more my wife, 7 week old baby, and puppy were driving from cincy to chicago after our first road trip as a family of 4. engine completely gave out on 65N. we were in a crisis, on the side of the interstate with semis speeding by. we got a tow to the nearest mechanic (20+ miles) - and it happened to be guaranteed automotive. they were busy as could be, but still managed to let us know that our catalytic converter went out. they needed to order the part and could get it fixed for us - but it'd be a couple days. the real problem was that it was purdue's move in weekend - and even though enterprise allowed me to book and check into a reservation online - not a single location had a rental car in all of lafayette. same issue with every rental company in the area. what a shame. we needed to get back to chicago bad, especially with a crying newborn. after several frustrating calls with enterprise and hurtz, we decided we'd just uber on home ($270) and come back for the car when it was ready. but out of nowhere, guaranteed auto offered us their little loaner and let us take it back to chicago for 3 days while our car was getting fixed. saved us some money and was very convenient, after a long stressful day. we're so appreciative for the kindness and efficiency we witnessed with guaranteed. i hope i never step foot in there again, but if you're reading this and you're broke down in the area - they'll get you right. only somewhat negative feedback from me is that they're closed on saturday and sunday - and waited to call until friday around closing time to let us know the car was ready for pickup. so had to wait a couple extra days to pickup, whereas if i knew it was going to be ready i could have been there friday afternoon. oh well. pretty good, not bad, can't complain. thanks y'all!

The front desk staff were very friendly and I really appreciated Eric's help. I had a speculation I was burning oil and they made sure to take note and set up an appointment to address that in a months time. Oil change, air filter, and windshield wipers were all very reasonably priced. I had an appointment for 10 AM and was out by 11:30 AM on a busy morning it seemed. Nice little waiting area as well. I will be taking my car here for future services.

They're only missing a waiting room with weird sparkling water and Aldi beverages in a cooler!

You hear about mechanics finding additional "issues", looking to inflate their bill but these dudes saved me a ton of money by spotting loose tire rods that had caused significant cupping. They stopped their work to show me what they'd found, explaining every option and gave me quotes before proceeding. I could tell they really took pride in their work and wanted to leave me as a happy customer and I am. I'll be back for sure and will continue to recommend them to friends and family.

Went back a second time and was told the vehicle is unsafe and listed over $2000 worth of work that was supposedly needed. When we told them we would just pick the car up it mysteriously developed 2 leaking tires on the drivers side, was told keys would be in the gas cap because we could not make it before they closed, needless to say they were not in the gas cap so that was a two hour round trip wasted, not to mention the car had not moved since the second time it was dropped off because of the way we parked it!

Called this company and explained everything about the issue with my car. They're a Repair Pal participating warranty place. Never once were we told if it wasn't under warranty there would be any fees associated with diagnosing & charging for CALLING THE WARRANTY COMPANY! Charged us $67.50 to be on the phone for 30 minutes. They're claimed the company wouldn't warranty the radio/screen. So even if you think something is warranty & it's not, don't think you'll leave without your car for over $147.85. They had 2 opportunities to let us know it would cost us money no matter what and they didn't even give the customer service to do so. Place is a rip off.
