These guys are very good. I had to bring two vehicles in for brake problems and I’m very pleased with them. I’ll be a regular around here from now on. I hope to not have to be in for many problems, but if I have a problem, I’ll be going with Thrifty.
Very reasonable pricing. Give you a thorough description of issues before they start work and they are very friendly.
These guys rock! They took great care of me this morning, which included making a freshly ground pot of coffee, calling me an Uber to work, and were super reasonable when it came to payment time! There’s not much I’ll drive over to the east side for, but this tops the list! Shout out to Jeff and Dave for being the best!
I would highly recommend Thrifty for any auto repairs that you may need. I was told I had to make a last minute road trip for a family issue and I didn’t feel like my car was able to make the trip and wanted to get it checked out. I called David Egan and explained the situation I had and even though they were booked solid, Dave told me to go ahead and bring it in and he would do whatever he could to get it checked out for me. Personally, it shows how awesome Thrify’s customer service is due to the fact that to make sure I was able to make my trip safely, the owner (Aaron) went out and checked out my car and got it back to road safe for me because all his other auto technicians were busy all day. I can’t express how great full I am to both Aaron and Dave but also to the entire Thrifty crew for always going above and beyond! Keep up the amazing work guys!
The guys at Thrifty are AWESOME! They took great care of the exhaust on our ‘81 Corvette. Very reasonable and they did an EXCELLENT job! Will definitely be returning for any repairs
I have been a customer for several years and wont go anywhere else. I can do most maintenance and swap out repairs myself but when I need help I go to Thrifty. They are always honest and professional, fair in price, doesnt try to gouge you into paying for un-necessary repairs as other shops in town have done. They go above and beyond treating their customers well.
Hi, This is the second time they fixed my car issue. Last time I was having problem in my car AC and they had fixed it. This time they fixed popping noises which were coming from wheels. They are really good in their work, they know what to be fixed and how to be fixed. Thanks Jeff and his team for this wonderful maintenance work and support 👍👍👍
Great work!!! Even took pictures to show what HAD to be replaced on my exhaust.Midas wanted 1,400.00 to do the job. Thrifty did it for half of that.They won my business
Excellent service with knowledgeable technicians. I asked for a complete breakdown of all the issues of my wifes vehicle 2015 Ford Fusion. They gave me a quote which was very reasonable pricing and had a very good turnaround based on the work that needed completion. Overall very satisfied with everything.
Love these guys! Everyone is very kind and the service that you get is wonderful. I truly appreciate their efforts to keep in good contact with customers via text updates and appointment scheduling.100% my place of choice when it comes to auto work and maintenance.
Kind, courteous, honest and great mechanics. I appreciate their help!
All I can say is great service,great place for your wallet.Staff is knowledgeable,courteous and they worked with my schedule.That means a lot to somebody that is extremely busy.Glad I chose to give Thrifty a chance.They earned my business.
Everyone I talked to was knowledgeable and friendly. Service was great and efficient. Decently priced.
Very nice and very knowledgeable about what they are doing. The coffee and cookies are a plus as well!
Went in to take car of several issues with my 04 trailblazer. They said it would take 2.5 hours they completed it in 1hour. Way to go job well done!!! 👍
I scheduled an inspection several days in advance. I took my car in at 8am on the day they had me scheduled.I called at 2:15pm to see how it was going and they said my car was in the bay being looked at.Still didnt hear back so i stipped by at 4:40pm, just to fu d out they handt even touched my car, no inspection whatsoever.How the hell do you schedule me and lie to me over the phone, and dont even look at my car?
Had my ignition switch replaced. They were quick to get my car in for the repair and a great price!
Have had my car there a few times and now it’s the only place I’ll go. always answer all of my (many) questions, they’re nice and honest about what is needed, not trying to just get money. awesome guys that do great work.
Very friendly and knowledgeable people great people give a great service Ive been going there for years highly recommended are they cheap no but I found higher places in town I recommend them highly what they fix stays fixed. They always seem to take time to answer your questions even though theyre booked up and backed up they seem to care about their customers I run my own Plumbing sewer drain business so I know the value of listening and helping customers good job guys keep it up
Aaron and Jason have done an excellent partnership effort of continuing a very viable and thriving auto repair business.I highly recommend anyone that has not tried them, to please do so.I suspect youll find a great place for you automotive needs, as my family continues to trust them as experts.
Update 12/18 Custom fit new rims to my 52 Studebaker Commander Coupe. Excellent attention to detail, friendly, and again charged me a fraction of what they could have. The best. One of my favorite Evansville businesses! Always fair and honest. Do the work for less than their estimate if possible. Checked my brakes today and could have told me I needed expensive repairs. Showed me my brakes, cleaned them, and charged me almost nothing. My first choice for anything on my cars or truck!
Great shop to have your vehicles serviced at. This family owned businesses goes the extra mile for their customers.
Great. Knowledgeable staff, they get the job done right the first time!
I have my vehicles serviced here on a regular basis. Some of the nicest people Ive met. Video of what they are doing to your car. Very professional. I had an emergency couple days before Christmas and they squeezed me in even with no appointment. Thank you Thrifty
Do not take your car here! Both things we asked them to fix stopped working the next day and then they couldnt get in for another week to fix what they didnt fix. Took the car to another mechanic and he had no issues fixing our requested repair. Thrifty keep trying to fix other stuff that wasnt requested.
The ppl have great fast good work ppl know what there doin there i high recomend them to fix anything
Excellent service, extremely fair pricing. Very fast! I plan to use them for any future repairs!
Needed a new muffler and extensive pipe work. They did a great job. Very satisfied. I wouldn’t hesitate to go there again if I need another vehicle repair. Recommended.
I was panicking about my trip (and I overthink as is lol) but Jeff truly helped me with literally everything!! Didn’t rush, walked me through everything he was helping me with! Educated me on do’s and donts lol but in the upmost sincere way! Took a huge weight off my shoulders!! Thank you so so much!
Thrifty Car Care Center is my Go-To place for car repair! These guys are exceptional. The estimate for my repairs have been right on the money. They walked me through the repair so I knew what to expect and were very affordable and professional. They have a 3 year, 36K guarantee where most other shops dont. They even have a Veterans discount which I really appreciate. Ive been to them three times now for repairs and have been very satisfied with their work each time. I wont be going anywhere else!!
Great service, prices are reasonable. Never had any issues with the repairs that they have done.
Good fast service good prices and I got done what I needed to. So definitely five stars.. excellent staff.
I formative and helpful. They send you a detailed list of what your cars needs, with pictures to show the specific problem.
I called to a few different shops and they were the only ones who were eager to get me in, positive, and knowledgeable. I thank the guys there for giving me my freedom back! They were awesome! And reasonable!
Honest, reliable, friendly and priced very affordable. Top notch quality car care. Definitely not going anywhere else.
My car had power issues for over a month and i thought it was going to be a big expense. I went here and met Dave who found the issue with loose connection to battery and fixed in 5 mins. for no cost at all!
I seriously have no idea why anyone would go anywhere else than Thrifty. If you go somewhere else I can assure you you are doing your car and your wallet a disservice. By far the best, most friendly and personable mechanics in the area. What other places quoted me for 1200 Thrifty fixed the issue (which ended up being a completely different issue) for under 300. Seriously saved me big time there. They are straight shooters and wont sell or push anything on you, only what is needed. If all mechanics operated like these guys do, we wouldnt ever have a bad experience at a shop again. 10/10 would recommend forever!
My estimate was $300.00 for my starter and when I went to pay my bill it was $426.00. They said it didnt include labor. Who does that??? Just talked to one of the owners today and he said a mistake was done and is refunding my $100.00. I appreciate all their concerns!
These guys are the best. I am a repeat customer with nothing but confidence when it comes to my repair needs arise. Greeted with actual personalities, automotive intelligence and smiles won me over for sure. Fair pricing and quick, quality service are just a few things these guys are about. Thanks guys!
Part 2: since you can’t reply to their reviews. I want all the customers to know. Of course my name wouldn’t show up, it was my boyfriend’s car which I stated. Also you really wanna lie like that? I mean when you search the auto shop an “Toni EICH” shows up and it says she’s an owner of the shop in her bio on Facebook so I’m confused? My boyfriend hadn’t been there in a while but he needed something fixed and the service is not the same since Jeff left. I’m sorry but I stand by what I said. It wasn’t a lie and you can search it up yourself before giving this business your money. Read previous reviews they will agree with me.
Like you I was careful to read reviews before trusting anyone with my vehicle. Unfortunately, it did not pay off this time. After spending 1100 for them to fix my brakes, (1800 total for all repairs) I had to return my truck for brake issues. They then proceeded to tell me it would cost another 1000 dollars to get my brakes working properly. After I brought it back they tried to say they warned me this might be a possibility and I assure you they did not. They did tell me they could fix my brakes for 1100 and now it stops worse than when I brought it in. I would not have spent the initial money knowing it might double in cost. This is a huge failure on their part and Ill reccomend everyone I know to stay away.
The service in this shop has gone down hill since Jeff left, they seem to not care about the customer and their needs. Pricing is overwhelmingly high and they didn’t even end up running test on what was wrong with my boyfriend’s car, they “assumed” what was wrong and “fixed” it. Not to mention when you look the business up on Facebook the owners show up and I was very surprised to see how openly they speak about political views and gender rights considering they have very diverse clientele. Do not recommend giving them business if you are a POC or part of the LGBTQ+ community since they openly disagreed with basic rights. Made me very uncomfortable to know I gave them my money. Will never be visiting again.
I got my car fixed here and had to work all week so I wasnt able to pick it up until the following week. I have an extra set of keys so I thought I would let my car warm up. Im about to get in and there is a homeless man sleeping in the back seat of my car. I couldnt be mad at the homeless man I didnt leave my car in his hands. Then one guy lies and say he couldnt have been in there long we just moved it. I have been riding by all week checking on my car and its been in the same spot but ok. Couldnt give me an explanation or compensation. They will never get my business again.
I was getting ready to move to Arizona and asked the guys to make sure my car would get there. They have the best customer service Ive seen in a long time. They didnt try to take advantage because Im a woman. All in all they are great. I finally found a great car repair shop and I move half way across the country. I recommend these guys to everyone.
This place is amazing! They are very friendly and great at what they do. Thrifty is both affordable and very knowledgeable. Work is completed quickly and at a great price, and the price is always the same as their original quote. I also love how they take the time to explain what is wrong with you vehicle in a way that is easy to understand. They are also very honest about what needs fixed right away and what can wait. We dont take our vehicles anywhere else. They take care of everything from oil changes to minor repairs to more extensive repairs. We love Thrifty Car Care!
On 08/23/19Great work, Great staff.I brought my Chrysler Town & Country in because it would not start without a jump. Jason took it right away to diagnose if it was the battery, starter or alternator. I did mention that one of the terminals was loose and was not able to get it tight. He diagnosed the problem & thankfully it was only the terminal. He replaced. Let the battery charge up. Tried several times & started every time. Thanks Jason.
Would highly recommend to anyone needing work on their vehicle. The owners are very kind, honest and relatable. I gave as many details as I could about the issue and was able to bring my car in without an appointment. They did their best to work me in and get me back on the road the same day.All around great experience and great mechanics who care about their customers. I’d never been there before, but I will always go back for any kind of servicing my vehicle may need in the future.
Went in since my charging ports were not working. They replaced a faulty fuse and fixed the issue. The best part is that they refused any payment and did it as a complimentary service. Much appreciated customer service!
Great, knowledgeable people to work with.!
New to Evansville and had to find a car place to fix my sons car. Came across Thrifty Car Care Center when doing research. They got the car in and fixed in a timely manner. Great customer service and reasonable prices. Recommended
Towed my car there and left the key in the key drop on Saturday. Was promptly contacted Monday to let me know what was going on with my vehicle. I was emailed an estimate per my request (it was like drinking from a firehose and a lot of info to take in, despite the shop owner taking the time to explain everything that was going on with my vehicle)The shop was very honest and definitely explained things that I needed to repair right now vs things that could wait until later. The shop also made the recommendation that I may not find value in making so many repairs to an older car, and that I might go with the option of selling it as not-running/as-is and finding someone to purchase it. I definitely respect these stances, as they were honest and good solutions to me as a customer- but may not have immediately put money in the shops pocket.I ended up selecting the repairs to be done later in the day, and my vehicle was ready the next day. It drove home better than it has the entire time I have had it.The shops owners are very efficient and communicative. The lobby is very clean, and has thoughtful coffees and snacks for those who may be waiting for same-day repairs. I am very happy with this shop and would recommend it to anyone who needs something done!Thanks guys!
Great customer service, courteous and knowledgeable! I highly recommend Thrifty Car Care!!!
They treat you good
I always take my vehicles here....they are Great.. Aaron and staff takes good care of their customers... prices are fair and reasonable!!!!
I have known these brothers and their families for years, and consider them good friends. When they took over Thrifty, I knew I had to move my business there. This trip was my second time using them and received the same care to detail and workmanship as before. I had to drop-in unexpectedly with an emergency wheel issue. My problem was fixed the same day. I plan to recommend them to my whole family. They will get all my business from now on. Jason & Aaron, you guys ROCK!!!!
I had a tire emergency and they fixed it in under an hour at a reasonable price. They were polite, knowledgeable, and professional. They also noticed my van was running hot, let me know about it, and gave me a quote to fix it without being pushy or making me feel like they were trying to sell me any unneeded extras. Nice, family owned & operated business. Thank you guys!
I have been going to Thrifty for about a year now. The have been a amazing. They really do what needs to be done quickly and priced as low as possible. My daughter had a flat tire they fixed it for free! That was so appreciated by my daughter and myself. They have really taken care of our family. I would recommend Thrifty to anyone for a large job or just to have your vehicle serviced.
I feel trust is the most important factor in any business relationship and Thrifty continues to earn my trust time and time again. When my starter went out, they discovered it had been replaced before. They went to the trouble to determine it had a lifetime warranty and as a result I only paid for labor. This is not just good customer service, its great. Ill never go anywhere else.
Absolutely wonderful people here they are honest and reliable and dont give you something you dont need. Thank you all for your help and hard work
Quick diagnosis, service, and super nice people! They seemed knowledgeable and were completely forthright. A repair that I thought was going to take hour and cost me a ton of money took an hour and cost me $300. I will definitely be returning here for all of my car repair needs.
Thrifty Car Care has taken such great care of my son and I. They have even brought my car to me at work across the street from them. I highly recommend them to everyone. Their prices are so reasonable. Such a friendly staff and wonderful customer service.
Great service, we have taken different vehicles over the years for service.
My first time to use this service and was really amazed. I was treated like a regular, not a first time visitor. Watching customers come and go, I saw no difference in how any were treated other than some were called by name. I felt very comfortable doing business with them and will return when our cars need service.After a return visit with a different vehicle we are more than pleased with the service and treatment received at Thrifty!! We would highly recomend them to anyone needing service for their vehicle!!
Fantastic place to take your vehicle for repair! Their labor price is the best in town that I have found, they have always done a great job on the work performed (never had to take my vehicles back) and they will always give you an honest opinion and let you know times when you would just be wasting money and that repair is not necessary. I have brought all of my vehicles here for repairs I cannot do or diagnose myself. They have also been great about clearing codes without complaining. I would definitely suggest Thrifty!
The Eich family, owners of Thrifty care care, will take exceptional care of your vehicle with a smile and a hand shake. They do great quality work at a fair price. I take all my cars to Jason and Aaron for work. I trust them and have no issues sending my wife or son in for service. They will fix whats needed and not anything thats not but will advise you on things to keep an eye on that may need done soon or in the future. Call and make an appointment as they stay busy with the great people at Thrifty. Youll be well please!
Located the problem quickly and fixed it fast.
I recently had an alternator put on my car. My sister recommended them because she had 2 of her vehicles worked on. She said they were good, honest people. Jason told me when my car would be ready and the price quote. It turned out to be a little cheaper. I will be bringing all of my car repairs here. Im telling all of my friends about them
Good place to have some auto work done but when the customer asks for the warranty napa Starter to be replaced & denighed but then 2 months later brought backDue to the starter on its last go. I had Checked over by Kenny Kent Toyota contact points going bad in the starter.Eventually this time the starter was replaced.Called about rear wheelbearing and hub passenger side given a price of $300.00 for 98 Toyota Camry. (1) But had it done by a competitor 210.00 tax & all. Aside that they treat ya fair but as I will tell you shop around ask about parts labor warranty etc. Its your money your carBe wise in your decision & if your not happy give your honest review. Maybe Im just difficult but I earn my money as Im of the opinion most of ya do.
I called around and got several quotes. They were by far the lowest cost. With such a low cost I was concerned about the service, but it is obvious that these guys have the customers best interest in mind. I highly recommend them!
The service and quality was great. They were quick to answer my questions and give honest feedback on my options available. If I have a vehicle in the future that needs a repair I know where to go.
I really like working with Jason and his team of experts. My son was first to tell me how great they were to work with. I used them one time and I have never gone back to Raben Tire for automotive needs. They are trustworthy, friendly and willing to give advice to save me time and money when they can.
Great business people who are honest, their prices affordable and treat each customer like family.
Great and friendly car service. I was given a quote for some minor repairs and the final total came out less than the quote. I dropped it off on Wednesday and was told it would be ready Friday. I received a call Friday morning before lunch letting me know my car was ready. My sister takes her car here and now that I’ve moved to Evansville, I’ll be taking my car here as well.
First thing I am going to say expensive repair, but this is do to parts not the labor charge. It would of probably have been alot more at another repair shop. Thrifty was fast, friendly and courteous.
They are great.Ive done a lot of repairs here. They are knowledgeable, respectful, kind and honest and family run. They do good work for a good price and quick. They let you know the options you have and dont talk you into anything. I have an engineering background and have caught mechicanics on BS before but everything these guys have said has been straight forward and true.I would recommend them to everyone.
Best place in town for all you car care needs. Honest staff and they great work at a fair price. 100% recommend
Very honest and trustworthy. Best shop in town. I work on my own vehicles but if I cant do it they can and treat my vehicle like it was their own. They go above and beyond what is asked of them.
My mom goes here, Dave is great to my 85 year mom
I called Thrifty for some estimates on my 2008 Nissan Altima. They called me right back with a total estimate and itemized estimates on prices of parts and labor. The man I spoke with (Im sorry I forgot his name) was very polite. He went the extra mile to do some research on my expensive spark plugs, found another way to do it, and shaved $100 off my total estimate. While I will not be going here for the repairs due to their prices being ~$100 more than some others in town (I have some expensive work that needs to be done and am low on money), I really appreciate their effort and honesty to make my experience the best possible. Definitely look them up to compare to other shops.
Best place. I wouldnt trust my vehicles any where else.
Good prices, I feel like they dont rip you off. I always go here. A schedule an appointment ahead of time, and youre out in a timely manner. Theyre busy....that should speak for itself!
The fellas here will take care of your vehicle repairs without price gouging you...
You guys need ballcaps with five stars and a dozen donuts to start your day. What a great place to take a sick car. These guys are not only friendly they are great mechanics. I have three vehicles, two cars and a truck and when they get sick Ill be taking them to the best place in town Thirfty Car Care on Morgan Avenue Evansville Indiana. Thanks new-found-friends!
Another great experience - the guys are professional, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Best in town.
Always give estimates first, they are fair, friendly, and they do awesome work.
Quick and an affordable quote. No problems with the service.
Been taking all my vehicles to these guys for over 1 1/2yrs now and I couldn’t be more satisfied and loyal to them. They recently did a basic oil change on my Jeep, got some stains on my fenders, took it back to them on the next day and these guys went above and beyond and cleaned all of my fenders. But what made me even glad that I do business with them is that they took ownership of that immediately and made it right. Thank you guys. These guys are stand up business men/women.Michael W-
Always get great service here. And the people are also great! I recommend these guys.
I have taken a couple vehicles to them for various reasons that for whatever reason,I did not want to mess with myself.Diagnosis was quick and prices were very reasonable.Yes, I would recommend them to others and do.Most people who would complain...would still complain even if they had nothing to complain about. They just cannot be satisfied.
I have always used Thrifty. They have fair prices. Honest, and will treat you right.
The Eichs are awesome. They always take great care of me and my car.
Ive been a long haul truck driver the last ten years, so I am more than familiar with the good, bad, and ugly of repair shops and dealerships. These guys were great to deal with, gave me a great price and had my jeep finished on time. When i was picking Up my jeep I overheard a discussion the shop guy was having with a lady about an electrical issue ( which can be a royal pain to solve ). Unable to isolate the problem and rather than b.s. the woman out of a small fortune in labor costs, he simply explained it to her and pointed her in the direction of a shop that specializes in electrical issues. These are the guys you want working on your vehicle and the work they did on mine was top notch. Did I mention the price was great?
I know the new owners. Great guys, great, service and ALWAYS way below what most other shops have charged. Wont hesitate to recommend them. Always have done a great job on my vehicles!
These guys really care about their customers. They were fixing my brakes and they really helped me out. And while I sat there waiting for my car to get fixed, they knew so many peoples names who came in to get their cars worked on. A group of really neat people.
Excellent prices and customer service. My car came back running like a dream - will continue to use them!
Veteran ran business. Good 15% discount for other veterans. Extremely good and knowledgeable service. I will never go anywhere else.
These people are con artists! My son took his car in. I made the mistake of telling them my husband thought it MAY be the catalytic converter, but wasnt sure. They ran NO tests, changed the converter, charged my son around $300 for the new converter, and it ran worse than when he brought it in. My son, who is deaf, had to text me to come back and get him because it was running so badly, he was worried he wouldnt be able to make it home. I called the next day and one of the owners admitted they had run NO tests and just changed the converter due to what I had said. The other owner, (his brother) told me to bring the car back in and they would have to run tests on it, but would have to charge me and it may be a considerable cost because they had no idea what was wrong with it. When I asked why they hadnt run tests initially, I was told they just fixed what they thought was probably wrong on it. My husband refused to take it back and be gouged again, and did some research online. It ended up being a fairly simple fix of getting the timing adjusted. This is NOT the same Thrifty Car Care that it was when Jeff Decker owned it. I will tell everyone I know to go to Jeffs new shop!
