AHRENS AUTO SERVICE

Over priced, took for ever

unknown

I had my vehicle to their repair shop three times for the same problem. Several parts were replaced but the problem was never solved. I even asked if it needed to be taken to the dealership because it is an older model - they said they could fix it. The third time I got the vehicle back from them he said he did not know how much longer it had and that I should get rid of it soon. The next morning it did not start due to the same problem. During the process the employees were frequently abrupt on the phone and at one point wanted to know how long I expected the car to work. After some discussion they refunded about one third of the total expense of the three visits for repair. I was left with the same problem and several new parts installed that did not fix the problem. I did not feel that they were competent enough to work on the car again. They were not approachable enough to discuss the issue any further. I took it to the dealership and it was fixed for one quarter of the total price that Ahrens Auto Service charged. That was 3000 miles ago and 'the piece of junk' is still running like a charm.

Don Ahrens is the Owner/Operator of Ahrens Auto Service Center in Gainesville. David Busby is the Manager. I'm sorry but I do not know the mechanic's name. This service center provides expert import service and repair. This repair shop is the one you've been looking for as far as honesty and integrity goes. Most of their customers seem to be long time local people whom they know by name. I never have to wait too long when I drop off or pick up my car. They take the time to answer any and all of my questions, are very patient, are willing to address any and all problems, concerns and issues relating to my car whether or not I need their service at the time. Ahrens Auto Service Center has proven to be an excellent shop price wise, service wise and integrity wise. I've always found them to be fair, honest and reliable. My husband and I are very fortunate to have found them when we first moved to Gainesville b/c they are the only auto repair shop we will ever need! Ahrens Auto Service Center gets top marks and we recommend it very highly.

Ahren's continues to be an excellent service provider for our 350Z. I Feel that they are honest, their prices are reasonable and have maintained our Z for many years as well as taking care of my daughter's Nissan and my son's Honda.
The Z needs to have its 60,000 mile maintenance and the cost is approximately $300.

Extremely well that now we have 2 vehicles that go there for repairs.
