I found Value Auto Repair on Yelp because I wanted a shop I could actually trust, especially…read moreknowing how common it is for mechanics to upsell unnecessary services. After reading the reviews, I decided to give them a shot, and I'm glad I did because they lived up to the hype. Alex was great to work with. He took the time to go over everything with me, recommended what actually needed attention, and never pressured me into anything extra. What really stood out was how honest he was--some of the issues I was worried about turned out not to be problems at all, and he made sure to explain that clearly instead of trying to turn it into a sale. It's not easy finding a mechanic you can trust, but this shop definitely earned mine. If you're looking for a straightforward, no-pressure auto repair experience, I'd highly recommend Value Auto Repair.

I wanted only recommended Subaru oils, antifreeze, spark plugs, etc. Value followed the manufacture's recommendations, which I was very happy. The maintenance was done in a few hours. The prices are competitive, but the trustworthiness is superior. This a great company.

He did a quick preliminary diagnosis and gave me a fair quote for the alternator parts and labor. A few hours later, instead of just doing the expensive repair, he called me and explained that the alternator was actually fine -- the real problem was a wire that was shorting out and causing the symptoms. The repair ended up costing significantly less than expected because they were honest enough to fix the actual issue instead of replacing parts I didn't need. I also had them change the fluids and filters while it was there. He said it looked like my spark plugs needed changing as well. Everything was completed quickly and professionally. It's hard to find shops that are this honest and transparent these days. Highly recommend Total Care Transmissions for their integrity, communication, and quality work.

Oh-oh, it showed Throttle Position Sensor. The part listed for $350 at O'Reilly, and I requested a referral to a repair shop. It was Formula Auto Repair, nearby on Highland Avenue, right next to KFC. They charged me over $100 to do the same test, then told me exactly what I had told them, it needs a new TPS. I authorized the repair after determining they would charge me $359 for the part, a fair price. The waiting room is dismal. Unmatched, uncomfortable chairs placed around the perimeter of the room, up against plate glass windows. Months old automotive industry magazines, and one several year old AARP magazine, very well thumbed. No vending machines, nothing. A star off for the total lack of customer amenities. The repair was completed, but the car did not perform to my expectation. After a phone call, I returned several days later to have a different new TPS installed. The car ran better, perhaps the ECU was communicating with it better. Bottom line, it was a successful repair. The service manager was very patient with me, and the new replacement part was installed as a customer service. Except for the waiting room, it was a good experience.

I was in a car accident two months ago. This shop came recommended by someone I thought I could…read moretrust. Louie seems very professional and provides great customer service. He also works on classic cars, so my hopes are high in him doing a good job. However it's been a month since he's had my car and I'm starting to get nervous since the crash did not require mechanical labor. It was a cosmetic job. I will update my review when I get my car back. Update#1: Two weeks after I posted my first review Louie confirmed my car was ready for pick up. Immediately, you can tell that no frame work was done on the car despite having had a front end accident which usually expands the frame. There were huge gaps between the bumper, hood, and fenders. I told him I would not be taking the car and expected him to fix the frame. The purpose of having insurance is so that any frame damage is repaired. I also received a $6000+ invoice from the insurance with an itemized list of all the the work Louie did NOT do! He claimed to have completely replaced the hood, the headlights, the radiator, and all sorts of things that he did not do. This was so disappointing and discouraging. He made an already stressful situation worse but since he agreed to fix the frame I was going to give him another chance. Update #2: Two weeks after the above incident my car was ready for pick up again. I could see that there were attempts to fix the frame because the gaps between the hood, bumper, and fenders were not as large as before but still noticeable in some areas, like the left headlight still had a gap between the bumper and the headlight. Tired of this shops carelessness, I was scared that if I left it longer, they would screw me over more, so I just took my car. Update#3: I've had my car for a month now and I noticed the bumper wasn't sticking well to the car. Not falling off but not secure and snug, so I took it to an autobody shop to get it looked at and they showed me all the places my bumper had glue! And explained to me that the person who installed it didn't even screw it on right. They want me to replace the entire bumper, again! I'm going to get another opinion elsewhere but Louies really screwed my once beautiful car. I hope all the money he claimed on my insurance was worth it. Lesson learned, though! Louies was an out of network body shop and I will never do that to myself again.
