I wish every customer service agent could be trained by Mike. He was just the nicest. I listened to him talk to several customers while I was there, and it was the same over and over again. He gets 5 stars.I was in today to mount and balance new tires I ordered online and have my alignment fixed. The work took awhile, but not unusually long for a mechanic shop. The price was great, and now my car rolls like a dream.I’ll definitely keep using these guys. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! Rich is so sweet & so helpful. He helped me w so much & didnt charge me an arm & leg for it! These guys are HONEST, hard working people & I cannot thank them enough! They explained everything to me step by step & took the time for me. They did both mine & my boyfriends car & allowed us to take some time to make some decisions & are more then understanding. Thank you guys so much 😌 this is my new forever mechanic!

We love this shop! Used to go to the southern location, they combined to one further north and its totally worth the drive. They care about their customers and the automobiles too! Best prices on oil changes and they give great advice and do great work.....we were there today when a grateful customer brought the whole shop lunch....was cool to see! My daughter is now in charge of her own car and if she goes in without me I know she will be taken care of! Thx guys!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!Came here when they were South, back in 1997. Stopped for a few years for whatever reason, started back up just recently and im mad I stopped coming to them. Knowledgeable. Reliable. Fair pricing. No, it wont be cheap, but you know that what youre paying for is well worth the money spent. Mike is my guy but good guys, and gal, all around.

The customer service here has REALLY gone down! I scheduled an oil change on THEIR website, and when I showed up, they had no record of it, and start complaining to me that it never works! As if its my fault! I decided to give them a second chance, and schedule over the phone this time. I showed up on time, and specifically stated I just want the oil changed, they did other work that I did not want or need and wasted my time. When I brought up the two issues, I was rudely given my car keys and told to never come back! My response..... No Problem!

Had a not so great experience. First, I scheduled my appointment at 10AM to which they said sure that will work. I get there and despite having made my appointment days ago, they dont look at my car for over an hour. Ok, fine maybe they are busy but actually the issue is they just didnt get the spark plugs in the 1-2 days I called prior to make my appointment. However, I realize people are busy and thats not really why Im annoyed at this place.I told them the code I got - cylinder 6 missfire and they did not scan the car themselves prior to changing the plugs. I know this because after the work is done they ask me again what codes came up... if they had scanned it prior they would have just seen it themselves. I also let them know of an issue Ive been having with a noise the car is making when I turn the wheel.After I was told it would be 2-2.5 hrs Im waiting there on hour 4 when they are done with the spark plugs and say they can drive it around with me to hear the noise it makes when I turn the wheel. I agree and during our drive the engine is clearly not functioning right. (as in, changing the spark plugs did not fix the problem). We get back to the shop and before we even address the issue that changing the sparkplugs did nothing and my engine was still sputtering, he gives me a quote for more work to fix the issue with the driving noise. The gentleman Im talking to says well just move around the ignition coil from cylinder 6 to a different one to see if maybe it was the ignition coil. They do that in 5-10 minutes and now my car seems to be running smooth. So... why did they not do that initially?I understand I probably needed to change the sparkplugs anyways, but I hate hearing AFTER the work is done and the issue persists oh well you needed to change them anyways. I probably would have just done it anyways but not after the fact, that forces me to pay for something that didnt fix the problem.Heres the kicker, I drive 2 minutes away and the issue almost immediately returns. I dont have time so I call them the next morning to which they give me another quote with labor included on changing this coil, even though they could have easily just done it the day before when they were in there changing the spark plugs. You literally have to remove the coil to change the sparkplugs. So... you want me to pay for labor on something that had literally been removed and put back in the day before? If they didnt try to double charge labor on something the removed the day before Id be fine, but here we are. So 342 dollars later (I understand that was for sparkplugs) Im just going to take it to another place with the same problem.

I have been to John Senter many times and have always had a great experience. My brakes recently went out and while another tire shop quoted me over $900 to fix them, John Senter did them for $370. These employees are definitely some of the most trustworthy in the business.

These guys have my business for life. Came in for a tire rotation and oil change.- They rotated my tires for free.- They fixed a piece of plastic that has been dragging under my car for the past month, also for free.- They only charged me $66 for a fully-synthetic oil change.$66 for what most mechanics wouldve charged $130-$180 for.

This is American Greed in real life... Dont spend money with this company dont get diagnostic test (scam) $99.95 just go to AutoZone (FREE) for the same codes ... What more can I say:Warning: ( bait and switch scam)Bring $1000 with you or just let guys keep your credit card.... theyre going to kidnap your car for 2 or 3 days and just tell you sorry maybe a free oil change or something with those $99Good businesses get good reviews I experienced bad business so Im giving it a bad review... 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

I stopped in here right after I rear-ended someone to have them check to make sure I could drive to the collision repair shop. They checked that my brakes were working fine and that nothing was interfering with the tires and didnt charge me anything. While I cant attest to their quality of work, I can attest to their honest & kind work ethic. They easily could have charged me for the inspection.

Review №47

Used to take my car here all the time for work. They did great work and seemed to always be honest with me and very fair priced. Especially with my tires. However, over the last year and a half I have had a couple of experiences with them that have made me not want to ever go make, and make me suspicious of predatory activity. It started when they replaced my engine. I definitely needed a new engine replacement as the drain bolt came unplugged due to poor service from another shop doing an oil change for me. They gave me a pretty accurate price and got a used engine with about 30,000 less miles on it. I thought they did a good job replacing it, as I didn’t have any problems for a few months and everything seemed to be running fine. Then I started to notice some issues with driving and hearing squealing noises. It was definitely my belts. I was told at the time of replacement that the belts as well, which should be pretty standard. I found out that they actually didn’t replace the belts. My engine was then starting to overheat and I was losing coolant. I thought this was an unrelated issue dealing with my cooling system, because the engine was new I just wasn’t thinking it could be that. I took my car back here, which was probably stupid on my end, but I still trusted them and figured the belt thing was just an honest mistake on their part. I asked them to look at my cooling system and belt. They told me that I needed an entire new cooling system, and that I needed to replace my timing belt as well. I was confused about the belt because I was told by them when they replaced my engine that they did that as well. So I told them not to replace the belt (my friend was going to do that for me for free, I just needed to buy the parts), but I told them to replace the cooling system. They also replaced my brakes at the time which needed it, totaling my costs to $1400. Within a week, my new cooling system wasn’t just leaking, but GUSHING fluid out. I took it back to them and they promised me they would fix whatever the issue was. I then got a call from them later saying that I actually needed to replace a head gasket. So they put in a faulty engine in my car (or did a poor job with the installation), they never replaced the belts which they said they did during the original work, they replaced my cooling system which didnt need replaced in the first place and wasn’t the problem, and when I told them I didn’t want them to replace my head gasket and to just put a sealant in for the time being they said I owed them $100 for a diagnostic, which I NEVER AGREED TO. They eventually took back the diagnostic fee and didn’t charge me, but overall they were milking me and were trying to continue to do so. As I stated before, this wasn’t ever my experience with them and was why I continued to go their for maintenance for years. If you want to get new tires, maybe take the risk here because I never had an issue with that and their prices were always the best. BUT DONT GET ANY OTHER WORK DONE HERE!!! This was predatory behavior; I was lied to, had poor work done to my vehicle, had expensive work done that wasn’t necessary, and they tried to continue to do so. I took my car to a friends shop and they told me the whole scam and how they’ve seen this before. They then did the work I needed done at a fair price and fixed the poor work they did.

Review №62

Went to get a tire pulled from a rim. $13.50. No problems. As the tech is taking the rim and tire back to take it off, the manager stops him and takes the rim and tire back. Comes back up front and gives us the rim and tire back.... Turns out the ppl behind the service desk were having a convo about retards. The guy behind the counter says WE called him a retard. Stop. Stop right here. You read that right. And am like are u serious? 1) I have an austitic kid. I dont use the word retarded. 2) I have my own life problems. And my own conversations. I could give a rats ass about what some a**holes behind the counter are talking about. Let me make this clear: No one said anything to him or about him. No one. Think he might have clinical paranoia. Or hes a narcissist who thinks all things are about him. Whichever, we wont be back.

Review №66

I feel like an idiot. I am just now getting around to writing a review after friends have suggested I do so to warn other women of shady practices going on at the North Academy John Senter. A while ago I took my car into John Senter for some work to be done. While it was there I asked them to check into a rubbing noise that occurred when I turned my wheels to the left. I had just had my brakes done a few weeks earlier somewhere else. When I went to pick up my car I asked if they had found out what was causing the rubbing sound. They said that they had pulled the wheel and found that the left caliper had been put on backwards when my brakes were done. I have since been told by several other mechanics that it is impossible to put a caliper on backwards. After hearing this I feel doubtful that they ever pulled the wheel at all and made up the whole thing. Of course they charged me extra for this work. Im sure they were laughing at the fact they had just gotten over on another stupid woman. I suggest women take their cars somewhere else that is reputable and does not pull this crap on them.

Review №67

I will never go here again. They have charged me for parts that they didnt replace in the past. Had my vehicle for 7 days and when I went to pick it up, then told me there was an issue that they found days earlier. If you want service, go elsewhere. If you want to be scammed, go here. You do NOT get what you pay for here. I would trust someone with a cardboard sign on the side of the road more than this place.
