OK, I don't normally review places, but had to make an exception…read more I had used them two times previously, once for a new set of tires, which went perfectly swimmingly, fair prices, quick service, all the things you might expect, and once for a quick oil change (which was very quick, by the way, none of this jiffy lube sit forever thing). Both really good interactions, which probably deserved a good review on their own. But what really impressed me was two days ago, I was finishing up some errands at about 2pm before my delivery shift at 5pm. Go to start my car after shopping in the Kroger on Midlo turnpike, all the lights flicker but car doesn't start, indicating an electrical issue, most likely battery. After a kind and helpful fellow shopper pulled alongside and helped me jump my car to get it running, I called Sierra at the front desk and explained that I really needed to make my shift, and could I please drive right there so they could take a look? As I was afraid if I just went back to my apartment, that I'd need another jump to move the car again, and I just didn't have time. They took great care of me. Showed up a little after 2pm with my groceries, which they were kind enough to realize I was trying to keep out of the horrible heat, so they offered to let me put my eggs and other refrigerated goods in their little drink fridge in the lobby! Above and beyond. Took my car back right away, probably jumping whatever line they had going, did some checks to confirm it was just the battery, quoted me a fair price for a replacement that they had in stock which I accepted, and within an hour, maybe less, I was rolling out in plenty of time to make my shift. Fantastic sense of urgency and professionalism, friendly and genuine staff, great service, fair prices. Seriously consider giving them a try if you haven't yet.

This place provides excellent service. The waiting area is clean and inviting. Everyone, from the…read moretime you enter the doors to the time you get your finished car, is professional and friendly and communicates thoroughly and clearly. They even offer a couple of free loaner cars available for you to avoid interruptions in transportation while your vehicle is serviced. This is one place you won't dread going to. Finally, I mechanic shop that I don't dread having to wait at. They return the car in clean condition, and you don't have to worry about them getting cigarette smell or other off doors or filth in your vehicle, which I very much appreciate. They are honest, and there are no surprises. What they say is what they do, and they make sure to explain things in simple terms so that you have no doubts about what was done or what is recommended and when.

I take my vehicles here time after time and I recommend you do the same…read more The location isn't convenient for me personally, but I go anyway because of the fair prices in repairing said vehicles and the friendliness of the staff. Bill, Sue, and their children that work as mechanics there have always treated me like a friend and not just a customer. I recall taking my older vehicle there after work once for a quick inspection before a trip. I have some physical limitations that hinder me and Bill helped me on the spot free of charge. The vehicle was a little short on oil and he provided some oil for me without charging me for that either. That is just the kind of person he is. Affordable Auto is also honest. I know next to nothing when it comes to automobiles. More than once, the chains garages will tell me I need this and I need that, when I really don't. I then took my car to Affordable Auto and am advised that part or repair isn't really needed. If they wanted, they could take me to the cleaners because I wouldn't know any better, but they don't. I'm certain I have saved $1,000 or more thanks to Affordable Auto. Buyer beware of those chains. An acquaintance and former employee of one of said chains informed me he was reprimanded for not making unnecessary suggestions to customers regarding their vehicle repairs. The waiting area is nicer than most garages I've been to. Couches are comfortable and television is offered. If you don't care for what's on, Sue will change the channel for you. They even have a vending machine and water fountain. When taking my car in on a Saturday morning, which is very convenient for me considering my work schedule, I took them all breakfast once. Unheard of, right? I think that much of the family. You will, too. In addition to all they they already do, recommendations for other services can also be made. For example, I've lost all my spare car keys and Sue was able to tell me of a guy to go to for that. Affordable Auto is just incredible. I found Affordable Auto through the recommendation of a friend and I want to make them known to everyone I can since that friend helped me. You won't be disappointed.

Took my Freestyle in for inspection and oil change and was not disappointed. This family owned…read morebusiness is always professional and they are very reasonable. We recommend if you have any vehicle problems please contact this company and we promise you will not be disappointed.

I am so happy that a frIend recommend that I take my daughters Hyundai to Christian Brothers. Her…read moredrivers door handle had broken off and I called two dealerships and neither one could get her in for 3 weeks! I ordered the part from the dealership and Christian Brothers fixed it right away. I was a bit anxious since the part had to be ordered and then go to a body shop to paint and Ashley from CB was extremely patient with me and made sure they received the part from Hyundai and even called me the morning of my appointment to make sure I ordered all the parts for the repair. The mechanic Judson was very thorough; even the handle went on he wanted to make sure it was on tight and took the entire door off to reinforce it. I am so pleased with CB that I think my daughter should bring her car their for any maintenance and repairs and forget about the Hyundai Dealership. Also I thought their prices were very fair. Ashely was so kind to offer me water and gave me a rose when I paid. How nice is that?

Don't walk away . . . run. Unless money is no object. Consider this a Public Service Announcement…read more The facility? Very nice. Clean Bays. Looks great. The staff? Very friendly and courteous. Very nice waiting area and 'free' Christian Brothers branded water bottles. Most people understand 'free' things are not actually free . . . that includes the water bottles and 'free' courtesy shuttles. I took my 2010 Mustang there to have the rear brakes repaired - due to a frozen caliper. The 'Diagnostic Test' was $165, which I paid and then took my car out of there as fast as I could. The cost quoted for repair was ludicrous, so I asked if I could supply the parts (I am a former Auto Parts Manager, so am comfortable with this) - they said sure - the quote for just the labor . . . $631.91. Note - the book time for this is 1-1.5 hours. I declined and took it to another shop . . . $280 for labor and that is where the work was done. As mentioned in some other reviews, the 'free' (there's that word again) 'courtesy inspection' came up with every conceivable 'flush/fill' and things like Spark Plug replacement ("due to age of vehicle") even though I replaced them myself a month ago. Total for all the 'courtesy inspection' items . . . ready . . . ready . . . $8,255.59. How about a few more examples: Replace License Plate Light Bulb ($74.50) - I actually just took care of this myself before sitting to write this review ($15 for the pair and about 10 minutes taking my time), Replace Front Struts (parts cost $250 and labor book time 1.2 to 1.6 hours for both sides) . . . $1,456.38. Replace Cabin Air Filter (part cost $15 - labor book time 0.2 to 0.3 hours or 10-15 minutes) . . . $132. Replace valve cover gaskets (part cost $20, labor time 1.5 to 2.5 hours) . . . $632.20. You get the idea. Outrageous pricing . . . but the 'free' bottle of ice-cold water was excellent!
