They fixed the problem with my car for a reasonable price. However I wasnt impressed that when I dropped it off for the appointment they didnt seem to know anything about it and I had to give them my info again, including the details of the problem. Instead of writing up a work order or estimate he just jotted it down on the blotter on his desk. He said he couldnt give me an exact cost for evaluating it because it depended on what tests they decided to do. They promised to evaluate it and call me back that day or the next but never did. I called them 2 days later and found they had been working on it and had ordered parts to see if it fixed the problem (even though I had not authorized any repairs). They said they could return one part if I didnt want it but the other (spark plugs) would not be returnable after trying it. Also, they were too busy to work on my car themselves so they transferred it to a garage a couple miles away without telling me. I might not have had a problem with the repair time, parts, or subcontractor if they had just communicated it in advance instead of waiting until I asked afterward to explain it.
We have had an engine blow a catylac converter go out and then an AC Compressor go out and Appalacian has done great work and gaveus fair pricing on everything. They get it done quick and get it done right, and work with you if money is running tight. My fiance and I just want to to say thanks to Appalacian Auto Repair for all your hard work.
Quick to pick car up and repair! Did a great job!
We have use Ivan for many years and always got great service and cost .
Ive used Appalachian Auto Repair for years. They are the best in my book. Ivan is one of the best on electrical issues. I drive from Knoxville to still use them.
We went in to fix a oil leak. They charged us 650 and told us it would be good to run. We picked the car up took it home and opened the hood to see a whole new piece in the engine and realized why it costed us so much. This was added without our consent and this piece made the car worse and the piece itself leaked oil everywhere. We went back and was told “there’s nothing we can do about it now” “ bring it back next week”
It is ILLEGAL to put parts into a car without the owners consent. Especially when the owner specifically told you to call before putting anything into the car. But it seems old Ivan has a reputation for doing that. Then when you tell him you are unhappy he tries to bully you by cussing and screaming.Well Buttercup you tried bullying the wrong person.Use him at your own peril.
They do good work. They fixed my truck and keeps me from getting a newer one.
Excellent service, punctuality and assisted by the owner!
They stay busy and do pretty good most of the time. But I have seen some missing and loose bolts on occasion.
Ivan replaced a transmission for me. He found and installed a used transmission a couple months ago and it has worked great for me. He did the work in a timely manner considering he had other work in front of me. His prices are not bad either i would totally recommend anyone to go to him for any mechanic work. Call for a quote and see what he can do for you
Awesome, quick, honest, doesnt try to sell you something you dont need
Fair pricing....good work
Did great job in repairs in a timely manner
Just left with my van from here I loved the honesty timing of the work and communication. Yeah the guy in the office was soured but I overlooked it due to his honesty and helpfulness. I recommend anyone to have there work done here. They will not screw you.
Ivan & Caleb are good people. Will not take my cars anywhere else. Straightforward and honest.
Ivan only guy that i will let work on my truck. Honest straight forward. He only fixes the issue. Doesnt lie about anything.. Him and his crew the best
Ivan and his crew have worked on several of my cars, the last being my 2001 Ford van. He put a new motor in and added several new parts at a very reasonable cost. He stands behind his work and is honest when it comes to getting you back on the road. Quality of work is exceptional.
Ivan has taken care of my 21 year old car over the past 8 years . He is very honest and provides top notch service . He asks you first before doing any work .. will tell you what needs fixed and how much it will cost. Being a woman this is very important .. many mechanics will take advantage .. not Appalachian Auto Repair . In fact many family and friends use this mechanic and wouldnt even consider going else where !!!
Good service and reasonable prices.
Always take my car there. They keep their word and do a great job.
I had this place replace a wheel bearing on my car, they were affordable and I was happy with the quality of work.
Great service and friendly people.
Ivan does quality work and a very fair price. Very honest and dependable!
Great job and work
Ivan and the guys are great at what they do there, they keep my cars running good 🙂🙂
Great service and prices in town
Ivan and his staff are the most honest mechanics my husband and I have ever had to work on our cars. He is very affordable, and I would highly recommend this garage.
Very honest, fast, quality work. We will never take our cars anywhere else but Appalachain Auto Repiar!
Inexpensive, quick, real good guys. Fix my truck and got it back the next day for almost nothing.
They do quality work for a good price and fast too
Went there to rent a uhaul, Ivan chained smoked in the very small office while waiting on customers. Come on guys !! Wont be going back
