Quality repairs at fair rates and in a timely manner! Very happy with A1 and would highly recommend.

My father has come to Beau for years, and recommends to anyone that asks. Now I see why, and I also have gotten my work done through Beau. He is very honest, upfront and his integrity as a master mechanic shows in his work and business ethic (which is hard to come by these days with most mechanic shops). I appreciate everything he has done for me thus far and would recommend no one else. Thank You Beau.

I do not wish to trash you or to divulge our conversation about your attempt at servicing my vehicle except to say, I realize when you look at my truck, you see, as you stated, a hunk of junk. But to me it is priceless because it is my transportation to work so that I can support my family. In a perfect world, everyone could afford a new vehicle, and if we could, your services would no longer be necessary.With that said, I forgive you. I forgive you for how you treated and belittled me. I forgive you for the entire incident. I apologize for calling you a swindler and for allowing my frustrations, anger and desperation at being stranded along the side of the highway to subsume me after I picked up my truck from your shop. I lay it at the Lords feet.

Time = $$$. My truck was swerving due to a damaged rack-n-pinion, and the timing belt was out of time. I took my vehicle for repair, and required a rental vehicle in the meantime. I expected 5 days, and got it back in 2. Saved 3 days of car rental. My vehicle is running great. Im a satisfied customer.

Its hard to find a auto shop who does quality work these days and doesnt over charge. No matter when they are always nice, and respectful and look out for their customers. I have been a customer since 2014.

I chose to take my 1993 Honda Accord to this establishment based on their positive reviews of their business from the website. I have been aware of this establishment for numerous years. From the street passing by its always been clean and well-organized from the outside. I have always had a desire to do business with these folks, if my vehicle needed repairing. I sure am glad did. I met Beau and explained explicitly what I needed done to my car and my concerns that I had. He called me promptly back when they diagnosed it and gave me an estimate. The final repair cost were lower than the estimate. My car is operating at top-notch. I am so happy. I will be keeping this car for another 250000 miles and as long as these people are in business working on automobiles. thank you so much A 1 Automotive.Mr. Ryon

I was Recamend to this shop and am very glad I was. Brought my 2003 Chevy van in for a rear seal leak. Because of the age of this van they pointed out there were a few other engine oil leaks that needed attention . Good thing, because of them finding them I didnt have to pay for the labor allover again to fix them. SAVED ME A BUNCH$$ . Well as it tured out the rear seal was defective and they redid the whole job over again, No charge!!! They stand behind there work! A rarity now days . Thank you again Bo & team. I will be a customer for life and will brag about you to all my family and friends. Bill Squires.

I brought my red honda element in for a clunking in my front end. Mind you, two so called mechanics looked at my car and both could not fix it. Well A1 not only fixed it but did it for an honest decent price. I cant thank you enough team A1. It was a pleasure doing business with you and you definitely won a customer over for life. If their was 10 stars, they would of gotten it!Mike R

A1 Automotive Center - transmission was making noise. Took the time to look at it told me it would probably need to be replaced but said I could keep driving for several more years without a problem. It’s an older vehicle was looking to buy new anyways. Didn’t charge me a dime. Not to many mechanics would tell you that. Very busy though.

Honest, trustworthy, affordable, and kind are just a few words to describe A1 auto. $700 difference from the dealership. This will be my new go-to shop.

A1 Automotive is the only garage and mechanics our family and all of our friends TRUST... after years of being abused and taken advantage of by other places we were fortunate enough to find Beau and his shop. There’s several things that go into being a good auto mechanic, two of the most important is honesty and knowledge. Beau tells it like it is and he doesn’t add on things just to make a dime. He and his mechanics are the best I’ve seen. They treat you with respect and don’t overcharge you like the big box auto shops do. Beau and his wife Michelle run a business to be proud of and one we are proud to call our Only Auto shop. Huge Kudos to everyone there, they truly are A-1 in our book.

The best for women who are alone or widowed in this world. Beau can be trusted to tell you what is wrong or right and you can count on him to make it right. I have a lot of faith in him.

Listen there are a lot of trolls out there fabricating false reviews just to hurt people’s business. This is the best automotive center around. My whole family brings all concerns little or big to Bo and his team and never have an issue. If you are looking for honest work this is the place.

Review №38

In search of a shop to install a new exhaust, I came across A1 Automotive in hopes that I might be able to get an appointment, same day. Unfortunately, the individual who answered the phone was extremely pompous and rude and offered no such help. Instead, I was met with mockery for making the inquiry in the first place. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere provided this is the service routinely received by A1 Automotives customers.Edit: After leaving my initial review describing this incident, the owner of the shop called multiple times and threatened me with a lawsuit for leaving a 1-star review. Im more convinced than ever that better service can be found elsewhere.

Got a motorhome? Then this is where you want it serviced! Needed an oil change and gen. Serviced; called several MH dealerships and quoted $129+ and higher JUST for the motorhome!AND itWould be at least a week(up to 3 weeks) before they could do it. Friend said try A-1 so I did, less than half the cost and got me in next day. Tell them John Oakley sent you...

Review №48

A1 Automotive is an excellent establishment and I highly recommend them to everyone. I have taken my car there several times with good end results. Just recently I had to make a last minute trip to Pennsylvania to visit my dad and was worried about my car making it there/back, but had to try regardless. Brought it in first chance on a Monday morning hoping they would have an opening to look it over despite all but one parking spot filled when I pulled up. I explained my situation and immediately Beau & Michelle had my car pulled in. The axels, timing belt, & radiator were all replaced at a reasonable price within two days. We saw many cars on the side of the road on the drive back to Florida and thanks to A1 automotive we were not amongst them!It is extremely difficult to find a trustworthy, reliable, and quality mechanic that gives reasonable quotes. Finding A1 Automotive was like finding a needle in a haystack.

I have never ever felt so mistreated in my life. The gentleman behind the desk today when I came in for my daughters appt was the rudest and most unethical person I have ever met. He has worst customer service I have ever seen. I’m in the retail business as a manager and myself or my team would never ever treat a customer the way I was treated. My 16 yr old daughter set up an appt today for 7:30. I came in and a gentleman behind the dask said can I help you. I said my daughter had made an appt for today and ask who. I told him he ask for my number so I gave it to him. He said he would let me know when it was done. I said will I will have to wait and he said that’s not possible cause it will take all day. I said well I dont have a ride so I will have to wait. He said well I won’t know how long it will take. I said my daughter is 16 and probably didn’t know was going to have wait for it. So he says well that’s erevalent. I said well I’m sorry but I’ll have to wait. He says with an attitude the chairs are over there you wait there. So I’m sitting there and couple of minutes later he says trying to be nice or something, well it says here it will take 4 hrs. I said well I’m not sure why you have an attitude with me cause I said I have to wait. He holds up my keys and says here if you don’t want it done I done need your business you can go somewhere else. I will never recommend A1- Auto or go back there.

Please never trust this owner. When I lived in Eustis he was great, or at least I thought he was great. 2 years ago, I was conned into purchasing an more expensive alternator. I was told life time warranty. So, Saturday night in Franklin, TN.my car breaks down. I have it towed to Firestone Automotive. I have two kids and an elderly grandmother with me and its 9:30pm. I leave the car and have Uber take us to the hotel. The next morning I call Firestone, and they tell me the alternator has gone. I tell them about this awesome lifetime warranty. They also said a-1 automotive is great to work with and there will no issue on the warranty. They were wrong. I just called and spoke to the owner who told me because I didnt call him he wont cover it. I also didnt pick the alternator up and carry it with me so they wont cover it. Even if I did, pick up the alternator, I would have to drive the alternator Eustis, FL with the car that broke down so they could ensure I wasnt lying. I told him I knew A-1 auto was closed on Sundays, and he assured me he checks his messages every 2 hours. Also, if I had called he would have had an alternator sent right to Firestone within 10 minutes of him calling. When I explained, how was I to know that, he told me that everyone in the US knows that. I explained I was in Franklin without a car and on my way to Memphis. I didnt know that I had to call him first, and that I didnt think anyone knew that. What I knew is I had to get on the road. I know this business claims to be a Christian organization, but this is what turns folks away. He did hang up on me. Please dont be conned.

They spent over an hour and a half trying to align my car (concluded that the frame is bent from a previous hit), so Beau said theres No Charge!!!I was blown-away! He said he couldnt charge me because he couldnt provide what he would be charging me for... aligning my car!He even advised me that itll cost more than the car is worth (94 Honda Accord) to straighten the frame and replace all the bushings just to get the alignment right.I feel bad since he did spend an 1 1/2 hrs of his time trying to get it done?So I will send as many people his way to make up for the time he lost with me.Good Shops are hard to find.

My brother recommended this place after he got his truck transmission fixed here. When my brother dropped the car off Beau had stated that he thought the problem was the turbine speed sensor. Since I as the owner of the car had not yet spoken to Beau myself I called up there to introduce myself and also ask if he felt the output sensor should also be replaced per the Ford recommendations. Beau quickly snapped at me and said I hate when you people start diagnosing your own car issues, are you a mechanic? Uhhh, no, I said I am not and I dont pretend to know anything about cars, I am simply asking a question well, he didnt get any friendlier on the call so I said my goodbyes and blew it off as him simply having a bad day. The following day I called to see if the part had come in and when they thought I would have the car back, I spoke to MIchelle on the phone whom was very nice and helpful. She said she didnt know the status but that she would go ask Beau, after an extended period of time on hold (close to 4 minutes) she came back and said Beau has already had this conversation with your brother I stated well, it is my car so if he could have that conversation with me as well that would be great and left my number for him to call I received a call maybe 10 minutes later from my brother that Beau is not interested in working on my car and that I should come and pick it up. Now mind you, this shop is over an hour from my house and the transmission was slipping which I why I had the car taken in in the first place. When I asked why Beau was not interested in fixing my car my brother stated that Beau stated I was harrasing him. Um, I didnt realize that making two calls would be considered harrasing I would think that any reasonable person would consider that to be a car owner simply wanting to be kept in the loop about the status of their car. In any case, I warn you if you are considering using this place that Beau has a serious issue when dealing with women, he is a pompous ass that considers himself too important to keep his customers in the know about what is wrong with their car or even what the anticipated time that you could receive your car back from him is. I was actually really happy that this didnt work out because I found a very customer focused and HONEST mechanic just down the street from where I live that was also almost $200 less than Beau had quoted and I got BOTH sensors replaced (as Ford recommends).
