I dropped my van off on a Sunday, leaving the keys and explanation of the problem in The Garage’s dropbox. (I’m thankful for the dropbox because that allows me to take a vehicle by when I have a ride home, not just when The Garage open. The next day I got a text saying they received my vehicle, another text with the diagnosis and cost, and a third text when it was done (that afternoon). I appreciated getting texts instead of calls since I’m often on the phone for work and may not be able to answer a call. I paid a reasonable price and received quick, honest service.

Bob and the guys at The Garage in Pelham really are the “old school” good,honest,do what they say kind of repair shop that is so hard to find these days. Anyone that comes into my shop that needs a repair or ask me if I know of a reliable repair shop, the first place I tell them is The Garage. I highly recommend them. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been using The Garage for several years now so I can give them high praise for consistently providing great service, and for being honest and transparent about needed repairs and associated costs. I never have to worry about being ripped off or sold unnecessary repairs or services. And that’s hard to find these days.

These guys are great! From the initial phone call all the way to picking up my vehicle, they were courteous, kind and professional. They took a look, broke down the estimate for me, gave me all the time I needed to make a decision, and after I decided to move forward, kept me updated via text about their progress and had me back on the road the very next day when they said they would. I dont think my vehicle drove as well when I first bought it as it did after they got hold to it. Give these guys a call, let them take care of you. You wont be disappointed!

I am very thankful for the Garage. Every time I go here I feel like I am treated like family. They are accessible and patient to answer all questions for people like me who are not car people. I am at ease every time I bring my car to the garage. They do repairs in a timely manner and are extremely trustworthy people!

I really appreciate the integrity of the guys at the garage and the work they do. As a female, some places will try to convince you that things are more urgent than they really are. The guys at the garage have always been honest with what needs immediate attention vs what may not. They charge very fair prices and I always leave feeling safe driving far away from home in my car knowing they did a good job.

I was quoted a certain price over the phone and when I got there to drop my car off they said it was more and I just thought I misunderstood. They must have read they disappointment in my face because when I went to pick it up and pay my bill, not only was the price for parts and labor lower than they had said but I also received an extra discount! Great guys who are care about relationships with their customers!

Right as the summer heat was starting to kick in, the AC in our car stopped blowing any air. So we took our car to The Garage, they diagnosed the issue, fixed the problem with high-quality parts and had us back on the road very quickly. Highly recommend The Garage and well continue taking our cars there in the future.

I can not say enough about how amazing my experience was with this company. I had heard from word of mouth of this business but mostly advertisement on the radio 93.7 WDJC. From the beginning, I receive a response to an email I sent on a Sunday night within 30 minutes. Then first thing Monday morning the communication continued and I was informed promptly on what needed to be done. They took care of all my car needs without pressuring me into anything. It was just great. From start to finish. Im confident in knowing where to take all our cars in the future. Great staff, great communication, and trustworthy information!

The garage is hands down the best auto shop in Birmingham. I constantly tell my friends about them. They are honest, helpful, and do excellent work. In an industry where people are often taken advantage of, you can trust the Pelham Garage to be truthful. I wish more auto shops were like them, but at least Birmingham has one good one. Thanks Bob and Jason for all you do!

I am SO grateful for The Garage! I have been using them for over three years and cannot say enough great things about them. Mr. Bob, Mr. Jason, and Mr. Mackey are fantastic! They are always so kind and gracious to patiently answer my questions, explain things to me, and offer suggestions. I never have any doubt on their word and trust them completely. They go above and beyond in all things. Every time I go The Garage for my car needs, it is like seeing an old friend when I walk into the office. I am thankful for The Garage, their incredible staff, and for their work/ministry to our community. What a privilege to support a phenomenal business that is not only honest, but invests in people and the community! Cannot say enough about The Garage!

I called The Garage for brake work. Jason said he needed to look at the car first before he could give me an estimate on the cost. I was scheduled to see him on a Wednesday, and then come back on Thursday for the actual brake repairs.Well, as my day on Wednesday progressed it was obvious I needed the work done THAT day instead of delaying it another day. I called Jason, and he said to come on in and hed see if they could fit me into the schedule.Fortunately, he was able to fit me into their workload that day, and within a couple hours I was back on the road and feeling great about the work that was done at The Garage! Jason was very helpful and attentive to our plight, and I felt the pricing was fair for the amount of work performed.The waiting area was clean and comfortable, and just as an FYI, the restrooms were very clean and sanitary.As of right now, I cant see myself taking my car anywhere else for service. It would be nice however if they were open on Saturdays, that would make it convenient for customers who otherwise have a hard time dropping their cars off for repairs. Keep up the good works guys, and I look forward to my next visit with you.S Carpenter

Review №51

We took our Car there to have a belt replaced last year. They told us that they use only Honda parts when working on Honda’s. They replaced the belt. Fast forward a year, we are having to get the same belt replaced as they used a cheap belt that you would get at an auto parts store. Their repair (if the correct part was used) should have lasted longer than one year.They USED TO BE a great garage. Now, I would not trust them to work on a go-cart.AVOID THIS PLACE. They use cheap quality parts and when they were working on the car for us last time, they bent one of the wheels and now the car shakes.

I have had two cars worked on here and both times they were great. On one they saved me $1000. by making a part for my truck. Any other shop wouldn’t have saved me the money. They are very nice and charge reasonable prices. Highly recommend The Garage

As a single mom I was terrified as to what auto repairs would cost, but with The Garage I was not only treated fairly and honestly, but I was so impressed with prayer support. Now I dont panic when repairs are in store. I know that The Garage will work swiftly and efficiently to get my vehicle back to me and always at a great price.

Review №56

Bob has taken care of my auto maintenance since The Garage opened. He’s kept my older used cars running and also my new car in warranty. I trust them because I have shopped other service shops and The Garage is always the best price and by far the best service. The drop off box, email and text updates are time savers and they always ask my permission before they begin any work. They don’t use scare tactics to entice me to make unnecessary repairs, as too many others have. Honesty is rare in the industry but The Garage still practices it.

Review №65

When the folks at The Garage say something, I believe it. Their service recommendations are on target, their prices are fair and their courtesy is superior. I am rarely enthused enough about a business to recommend it, but The Garage is different. When we used other mechanics, my family spent hours Googling the diagnosis we were told to see if it checked out. We dont feel the need to second guess The Garage or get other opinions.

Like a breath of fresh air. Working with Bob and Jason is reassuring that honest auto repair is available. I heard a friend just say “It’s amazing how little has gone wrong with my car since I started using The Garage”. - meaning other repair centers seemed to be creating problems versus fixing them. We are grateful for The Garage and what it stands for. Good work guys!

Our family has been customers at the Garage for 7+ years. Bob and the team have gone out of their way to serve us. Not only is the work done right, but they are exceptionally fast. As good as those things are, the clear and honest communication is the most important part of all. Bob has always explained issues thoroughly, and gone the extra mile to offer sound advice. He has helped us find ways to save money too, sometimes suggesting that we wait for certain issues. This is incredibly rare for a repair shop! Knowing you have someone we can trust is invaluable and this is where The Garage excels. The Garage team is wonderful and we are thankful for them. Highly recommend!

Review №85

I have no complaints about the quality of work or the friendly staff. They called me in a timely manner and let me know the problem and cost of repair. I felt I had no choice to allow them to repair my vehicle as I had it towed to their shop and it would not have been cost effective to have it towed to another shop. The cost of repairs were a good bit above average cost, compared to two other shops I checked. I probably will not take my vehicles to be repaired here again, just because of price. I believe in an honest fair price for an honest good job. The fair price part is what will keep me from having my repairs done at this shop. Sorry guys, its just the principle of the thing. P.S. The shops I checked were very reputable shops as well. ///// UPDATE: Bob called me concerned about this post and pointed out the fact that the part they used was OEM factory Nissan part. That was my mistake, as I didnt look at the invoice closely, to see that the cost of the part was 150% more than an after market part that you could get at a parts store like Advance Auto Parts. I understand that OEM parts are more expensive. I want to make it clear now that I looked the invoice closely, that the cost of their labor was in line with any reputable shop. I wish I had the choice to choose between an OEM part or after market part. I probably will give them call, next time I need service and see if I can have that choice. I apologize for the oversight on my part. I guess it was sticker shock and I agreed to have it repaired, because I needed my vehicle back right away. I didnt ask questions to the effect of why it was so expensive. Lesson learned! These guys really do want to do a good honest job. I wanted to make this right!!

Wow!!! We broke down in Pelham on our way back home from vacation and a local recommended them. We had our van towed to their shop without ever stepping foot in the business.

They were so professional and helpful.Thank you!!!

My family has entrusted our vehicles to The Garage since they opened in 2005. My husband travels with his job so its a must that we can fully trust their entire staff, and we do. So thankful to realize that they are always honest and efficient. We wouldnt take our vehicles anywhere else! Being able to trust a business for over 12 years is a bonus that we would never expect in this day and age, and The Garage is that business for us.

This shop provides the most honest, prompt, and professional work than any other mechanic/dealership you could bring your vehicle to. They have worked on 3 of our vehicles and are always up-front and transparent about the issues. They just performed a significant repair in one business day, when the Ford Dealership couldnt/wouldnt do in 4 full business days. We pulled our car from the dealership and brought it straight to the Garage. Spend your money with these folks, support your local businesses.

The garage has been handling my service & repair for several years now. Id initial heard about them on the radio, so I checked them out and they were very honest with my vehicle needs, informing me of what I needed and what I didnt (they were a 2nd opinion). Now, they are my GO TO! They earned my trust by being honest (Ive never had that with a mechanic), and making me feel a part of the family. I even spoke to one of the owners about some newer vehicle options, and hes helped me decide on what vehicle options would be the best for my future needs. Theyre great people, work diligently, and get you in and out as fast as anyone Ive ever been to. I dont think youll be disappointed.
