Great customer service and trouble-shooting! Highly recommend, if you are patient, as they take time to do the work right. "Rob" found and completed all my electrical issues, installed new gauges, all at a fair price. Will return, but doubt I'll need to? Thanks Bill, Rob and all at A-1!!
I would highly recommend them for your automotive needs, this is the only shop that I will allow to service my classic cars, absolutely top notch.
Refered to this repair shop and they listened to my problem. Sisd they could fix it the next day since it wasn't urgent. They called the next day to say when they would have my car running, then again when it was done. Bill was friendly and professional and felt like a friend though we had just met. The garage is a throwback to times when people were honest, friendly and did good work at reasonable prices.
So I left a great review after taking my car here because the customer service and Bill were great but took it in for a coolant leak. They charged almost a grand to fix it. I got it home and checked the anti freeze to make sure and sure enough it had all leaked out already. Did not make sure it was fixed before giving it back. Called to let them know and told me to bring it back in. Well the water pump they replaced turned out to be bad so they replaced it and found another leak in a hose that they didn’t find the first time. Another $100 on top of the $800 I already paid. Went and picked it up and had had this incredibly annoying vibration from Under the hood that is loud. Took it back to them and they said they could not find anything that was vibrating or would make that noise. Well I know and they know it was not doing that when I first took it to them and now because I work all week 12 hours a day I have not even had the time to try to take it back again and not sure I want to. So yea it has been a little while now but I have time stamped videos of everything I am referring to and would be happy to post if need be. So now after $1000 the coolant does still leak a little but just dread having to drive it because of the noise that they caused and now cannot find. I took it here to get away from all the hack mobile mechanics just to find out those hacks did a better job for me. Will not recommend to anyone!!! 10/27/25 UPDATE: Just found out they broke one of my motor mounts that you have to remove to change the water pump. No wonder they had to do it twice and if it was not them I am 100% positive they would have told me I had a broken motor mount. KEEP YOUR VEHICLE AWAY FROM THESE GUYS!!
I’ve been going to A1 for years now and I recommend them to everybody. They’ve worked on a lot of my cars (every single one I have pictured below) from simple oil changes and inspections to engine/supercharger work. Bill and his team are excellent at what they do and if there is ever an issue they handle it fairly right then and there. I would never go anywhere else.
