arI was in and out in under 30 minutes.

Great job on my Honda. I previously had all A+ in this review but I'm changing my review since the work on my Subaru was completed early June, 2013. Took the Subaru there for a fluid leak in late April, 2013. Turned out be a $1600 head gasket repair. I asked them to check over the vehicle first before the head gasket repair to be sure it was worth me fixing. Well, on the follow-up drive check after the head gasket repair they learned the transmission was bad, so another $1100. They had a replacement transmission there. Only after the transmission was installed did I learn it had 150,000 miles on it. The transmission problem should have been caught before the head gasket repair and one of the owner's admitted such directly to me. I was very upset about a $2700 bill for a 2001 Subaru. It only gets worse. Five weeks later the clutch went out, another $1000, and it was only two years old. This too, the clutch problem, at least in my opinion, should have been noticed when the transmission was replaced, though they respectfully differ with me on this point. I've not spent close to $4,000 on a car not worth that amount. I would have been better off getting a few hundred for it for scrap instead of these repairs. I do not feel as though these folks are taking advantage of me. Perhaps it was just a series of incidents beyond their ability to catch. I believe these are honest, good people but perhaps a bit too busy to be as thorough as they should have been. I like these people and am sad to have to report these facts. I may still do business with them assuming they do not refuse me after seeing this review.

Dropped it off and in 2 days I had it back.

I have known Lonnie for 16 years and I trust him with every auto issue that I have ever had. Now that he is partnered with Jerry I know that they will be very profitable in the new business. His knowledge of the auto industry is wonderful. Everyone should take their autos to Home Town Garage.
