Review №1

I own a 2010 Malibu that was parked for over a year without being moved. I had multiple issues that needed attention to make my car drivable. I made a list and took it to Bob at A&B Automotive. Bob looked at my list gave me a price and then said, if you can’t get everything done, I’m going to tell you what “needs” to be done to make your car SAFE. I had been to 4 shops including spending over $2000 at Reedman’s, only to get my car back with the same problem that they were suppose to fix. Bob was honest, he called to keep me abreast of everything he was doing and when he said my car was ready, it was ready!!! Bob was AMAZING and he has a customer for life!!! Thank you Bob, thank you soooo much. They don’t come like you anymore, your an excellent mechanic and an HONEST man.😉

I dont usually write reviews, so I will keep it short. A&B Automotive is an exception. They rate an A-Plus in honesty, diagnostic expertise and professionalism. Hats off to Bob who is a real pro. I strongly recommend A&B Automotive and will, if necessary, use their expertise in the future.

The receptionist was very nice and helpful. It was easy to make an appointment and get service done. I like that they provide a thorough inspection regarding recommendations and urgency repairs. I will definitely be using this repair shop again. I had a good time first experience.

Had a wheel bearing go out while driving on the highway. They got me in and completed repairs by the end of the day. Replaced the wheel bearing and two upper ball joints for me with amazing turn around time. Bob was straightforward and awesome when explaining the situation to me. Cant recommend this shop enough.

Took my car there .told them theres a problem of fumes smell in my car, the guy got in the car after 4times of me telling him to please get in and check it for himself .drove for 1minute came back and said “Sorry ICANT HELP YOU”-he made me feel some type of way that I won’t mention, but “If your Not the “Right” “type” of person you probably won’t be treated like a human being. Beware!

I came to A&B based upon their reviews online. I spoke was Renee who is very helpful and took care of all paperwork as I was going through Carvana. Bob who also was helpful, explained everything that was needed but also why.The work was done on time, as they stated, and the vehicle came back clean, no grime as some other shops have been.The service was so great, I will be bringing our other cars. I am very happy with A&B!

Company representative performed a diagnostic for problem with power door. He recommended that I take to a dealership. He opened a claim for me to have car fixed by dealership. That’s being honest and up front with a customer.

The entire staff at A&B Automotive was beyond fantastic. They went through my vehicle with a fine toothed comb and made recommendations based upon years of experience. The communication was outstanding, every detail was explained and gave me supreme confidence that I choose the right shop. I received daily updates from Renee and Bob about progress, findings and detailed explanations. I would highly recommend this shop for anyone searching for a true and honest experience. I can’t say enough about my experience, but it know where I am going with any issues I have with any of my vehicles. Thank you so much.

A&B Automotive has my loyalty and are now the only repair shop that our family will use. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Rates are great, communication and organization are fantastic, and turnaround has been fast. Ive visited other local shops and have always been hesitant to leave my vehicle, but dont have these worries with A&B; Theyre honest and trustworthy. I have nothing but positive words to share regarding my recent repair experiences with A&B.

One thing I can appreciate being an essential worker and family man is a business appreciating my time and money. Staff is friendly. I called to get my car a state inspection. They stated I could bring it in and it would be 20min. That’s exactly what the time was. I look forward to doing business with A & B again.

Excellent service by Bob at this shop! I found this shop through a Costco search of top rated local repair shops. Very impressed with their caring attitude. 3 other mechanics could not figure out what was wrong with my car. Bob took his time and figured out my brake system was actually missing some springs and levers that other mechanics didn’t inform me of. Will be returning for future repairs!

Being a female I have come in contact with several shading mechanics. The quality of service with Bob is excellent. Anything that I have had done was explained in a way that I could understand and I never felt that my lack of knowledge had been taken advantage of. The staff that work at A&B also have great customer service skills, this means alot to me cause every customer wants to feel special . Thanks again A&B for another great job!

If you are looking for a really good independent repair and maintenance shop for your vehicle - and who isnt? - you can do no better than A & B Automotive. The shop combines a highly competent and experienced technical staff with a very knowledgeable front desk providing great communications and customer service, all at very reasonable rates. The perfect formula for earning a customers confidence and repeat business.

A&B is thorough and as cost efficient as possible. Their years of experience and knowledge cant be beat. They are great at working with you and definitely explain everything going on in detail. I love their new inspection result report that shows you what is an urgent issue and what you should prepare for next. It feels like a boutique service. And whats most important is I trust them.

I took my car to Honda dealer, they keep the car 2 days unable to find problem, A & B Automotive mechanic shop find problem within 2 Minutes. Before you try to find another auto shop, hear me out — Charlotte knows how to take care of his customers! I seriously recommend this A& B Automotive shop for anyone that has doubts about trusting mechanics. Hes extremely knowledgeable, honest and offers reasonable/affordable prices for their services. Dont take a chance to go anywhere else!

His Services are above Reasonable in Cost.I have Always been Satisfied with the quality of the repairs that Bob has done for me.Once you have had your vehicle serviced at A&B Automotive.....You will agree that the Quality of Service is Fantastic and will not wish to anywhere else.

I LOVE my Mechanic!!! Yep, I said love!!! Bob & Charlotte are the absolute best at A&B Auto, I will always refer people to them and have my repairs ONLY done through A&B. I appreciate them SO much for doing repair work honestly and keeping me informed of what repairs can wait & what needs repair now for safety! In a crazy rip off world.... I appreciate all of A&B Staff!!! 5 stars !!! :)

Review №48

I had a great experience from start to finish. The estimate was right on point and they didnt try to pressure me into buying extra services. They also documented the repair/inspection process by sending pictures. Any issue that they found was prioritized in a list for me for future attention. Charlotte was extremely helpful and walked me through every issue with the car personally. Would definitely recommend!

Review №50

I had always taken my Audi to the dealership for service--but the last time that I went there, the service I received from the front desk person was so indifferent and uncaring (well, actually, rude) that I decided to go elsewhere. I found A&B on the Costco site and, after reading numerous glowing reviews on Yelp and Google, decided to take a chance on them. I am SO glad that I did! The level of service is topnotch; Charlotte and Jeanine are super attentive to details and so incredibly NICE!! Two weeks later, my car is still doing great and I spent the money I saved (when compared with the dealership) on a lovely dinner out. Hopefully I will not be needing service for my car anytime soon, but if I do, I feel reassured knowing that I can trust A&B.

Excellent service! My car was acting up. Id never been to A&B before, but went because of the excellent reviews. I was not let down! From the moment I walked in Thursday night, Bob was attentive. I was in & out in minutes. By Friday morning he told me the brakes were shot. He didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need, and the price was reasonable. By Friday afternoon everything was fixed. Now the car drives like new. You cant ask for better! I will be a returning customer (though hopefully not too frequently : )

A&B Automotive is all about providing you with the best customer service experience you will ever have - based upon honesty, expertise and fairness, when it comes to maintaining and repairing your car. It is a pleasure working with such kind, qualified and dedicated people who take such pride in their work.Bob sets a great example for his team through his forth rightfulness and honesty.The Service Advisor, Charlotte, researched and prioritized every aspect of work to be performed on my car - then focused on the most efficient/cost effective means to acquire parts and schedule all work to be performed.

I took my car here based on all the reviews and was not disappointed. The mechanic was very down to earth, he explained everything well and did not try to overcharge or sell me anything unnecessary. I dropped my car off on a Wednesday after hours and it was ready the next day. He did point out a few other things that were wrong with the car but was honest and said that it was not absolutely necessary to get those things fixed if I just wanted to save money and keep the car running. I feel like other places would have told me that those other things needed to be fixed and wouldnt have explained it as thoroughly. All in all, I was very happy with the experience and would definitely take my car here again.

(few updates)Almost five stars, good, but didnt go well on my visit. Came to see if these experts could figure out a situation none of my personal car gurus could figure.Not only they couldnt figure it out but they were about to start doing a process of elimination, the thing where we replace each part for a new one until we hit it right. And boy my car aint cheap...supposedly.Im not a car expert but sure could see that a thousand dollars each piece was dumb, found them online for about 85 dollars each. Good thing i took my car out cause these professionals dealer certified (used to work with the real deal they claimed) mechanics couldnt see that the parts were not broken at all, and ended up figuring out the real problem with a little more research for a fraction of the price.Extremely nice and great people, regular prices from the usual car shop (is not a dealer place cause dealers are more expensive). Not sure about the expertise part of it, and i still got charged for looking at it...multiple times. Sorry i got disappoint.

I had my car towed to A & B on family recommendation. Bob informed me that my frame had detached from my vehicle!! (Can you imagine??) Bob took it upon himself to do some research, contact a Hyundai dealer and found that my car was under a recall from 2009. He suggested that I have it towed there and have them fix it for free! What a GREAT GUY!!!I cannot recommend A & B Automotive highly enough. If I could give it higher than five stars, I would!! :)

Im a first time customer of A&B Automotive and Ive found them to be friendly, honest,knowledgeable and reasonable from a cost perspective. My vehicle had a carbon build-up problem and the dealer recommended a new head at a cost of approximately $4,000. A&B suggested an internal engine clean out for less than $200. The clean out worked, thus saving me hundreds of dollars. I highly recommend A&B Automotive.

Review №73

My wife and I have recently started bringing our cars to A & B after using the same mechanic for over 15 years. We moved into the area and had been bringing our cars to our previous mechanic over 20 miles away for the peace of mind we had using them. Needless to say after our experience with Bob and his team we will using A&B going forward. This is not a knock on our old shop, just a vote of confidence for Bob and the guys working in his shop. Bob is very responsive and quick to get you a quote on what needs to be done. Ive had our Chrysler T&C in twice for separate items in the past month (both repairs identified by Bob during first visit; multiple trips for personal reasons) and will be bringing our other car in shortly. If you want quality work with peace of mind A&B is the place I recommend.

Bob is very fair and his team is very well trained. Charlotte at the front desk is also very knowledgeable in cars so she has that ability to explain exactly what your car is going thru, and each step on how it will be fixed which is very helpful to pp who know nothing about cars. Always feel comfortable leaving my car there bc I know Im getting professional care at fair prices! Thank you Team for keeping my car on the road!

Got an oil change there and planning on getting ball joints replaced there too. It has a real feeling to the place. It feels like genuine people and it seems like, if I was to start a shop, it would look like this. Nothing flashy, just genuine people and service. Gave me a big list of what needed to be looked at, then another list of what is dangerous to go without. Showed me the advantages of any work that needed to be done and that breakdown and checkup wasnt anything extra. I recommend A & B Automotive.
