If there is a thing called "over the top customer service," this place would be very close to…read morehaving it. On top of great work on my ride, the people often went beyond expectations. Ex. After dropping my car off to find out what was ailing it, I was ready to call a taxi to get back home. Instead the manager (Steve) offered to give me a lift. And it wasn't exactly around the corner, either. Plus, it was a messy, snowy day. Not the type of day you'd want to be driving if it wasn't absolutely necessary. Along the way, he took the time to point out other reputable auto shops in the area, just in case I wanted to shop around. He didn't have to do any of that, but I got the feeling that's just how he is as a person and how AutoAnalyst treats its customers. Top notch.

I also got my truck back the last time with a different dipstick that was not even long enough to reach the oil. A employee also told me that he put flour on my belt to stop it from squeaking. The lady in the office accused me of lying. They need to realize that they are in the customer service business and people will not take how they treat people. AVOID THIS PLACE. There are plenty of good mechanics in town.

I just need new brake pads as I have specialty racing rotors. However the manager refused to consider simply replacing the pads - somewhat understandable but her unbending robotic response was frustrating.

Greg tore it apart & diagnosed it correctly. I couldn't afford the necessary part at the time so they put it back together so it would drive safely and charged me ZERO $0 for all the diagnostic time & labor! Wow! The alignment was affordable and well done. 100% recommend this shop as excellent (and no, they're not my family nor friends hahaha just honest, skilled mechanics!)

Shoemaker's looked at the report then upon further inspection (cleaned under the car, then attempted to drive it around so they can see whether it would leak) found that there was actually no leak at all! They are very thorough in their care for the car and took the time to explain everything to me, they saved me from having to pay for an expensive and unnecessary service I would have had at Toyota. They are incredibly friendly and courteous even offering to drive me home after they found out i was planning on walking in -9 degree weather. I will be back and Shoemaker's will be my go to mechanic.

I was nine years old back then and he was eight years old I think (that was way back in 1978). We were neighbors for over 15 years. I don't let anyone else work on my car except Lowder's because I know and trust the owner, Bob, and I know that he will ALWAYS do right by me. He hasn't ever tried to pull a fast one on me (or any of my family or friends) like other mechanics do; he does what's actually needed or what I've asked to be done (IF it's legal of course but NOT if it's something illegal like putting a muffler on a vehicle that doesn't have a catalytic converter on it (or other stuff like that), because that's quite illegal!). He does the right thing, he always has that I know of and I've never heard anyone taking bad about him, EVER --- not even in high school. He's just and simply a great and honest man; and you can trust him. Oh! He WON'T give you some triple the price estimate and try to rip you off either, he's not like that at all. I refer people to go to him at Lowder's Automotive every single time someone is talking about having vehicle problems or the need of a good honest mechanic. He runs the office and front counter now and doesn't get under the cars anymore because he has some great people working for him there. He WON'T put up with a dishonest mechanic working in his shop either. I fully know that he would give them the boot too if they ever tried something like that! They work on lots of types of vehicles there and they're certified & licensed. And you can see the legal certifications and licenses posted there if you'd like to. He is an awesome person to know too. Talk with him awhile if you're wanting to know more about him and his business, I'm sure that he will fill you in on anything that you will need to know. He's been working on cars since we were kids. Oh, and BTW, he is still about Mopar too. Js. I'm a Chevy man myself but I don't hold the fact that he's into Mopar against him. LoL! So if you're into Dodge vehicles, especially big trucks, just bring that up and you're sure to have a nice conversation with him. Tell him that you read this on Yelp and that his old friend and neighbor Todd sent you. I hope that this helps your in your decision making. You simply can't go wrong with Lowder's at your service.
