I had seen a used vehicle that I was interested in purchasing and had done as much research as I could - checking to make sure it had a clear title - purchasing a vehicle history report - more importantly - praying about it.
The only thing left was to have a used vehicle inspection. I knew I didn't want to drive it an hour away for the inspection and knew it would be slim that the owner's would allow me to do that. Then a commercial for Angie's list came on - letting everyone know that it's now free to join - so I went on Angie's list - searched for mechanic shops in the area of where the used vehicle was located and there it was - Chris' Automotive Repair & Service, Inc. - listed as the top rated - golden seal of approval on Angie's list - more importantly my Father God and Christ Jesus the King told me this was the one. That feeling - of rightness - came over me from the get go.
Ryan Rush, the Assistant Manager, and all the employees of this shop are AWESOME!! You can feel, as soon as you speak with them or walk in to the shop, the honesty, trustworthiness and knowledge. It just exudes!
I have never felt or had any of the experiences listed above at ANY mechanic's shop I have called or stepped foot into. And believe me - my luck hasn't been the best with vehicles - so unfortunately for me and fortunate for them - there has been several over the course of my life.
The inspection was completed so thoroughly - using three different mechanics and taking two hours. The written estimate and verbal explanation of what issues existed and needed to be addressed, if purchased, was very clear and in laymen terms.
The cost of the inspection was very reasonable and less then one of the local shop(s) located in the county where I live. I have no doubt that it would have been less then ALL of the shops located in the area I live if I would have called them all and it would not have been completed as thoroughly.
It's an hour's drive for me to Chris' Automotive Repair Shop and I'm figuring out a plan so that Ryan and the crew - at this shop - are the only bodies and hands allowed to work on or under this vehicle.
I trust them implicitly and have recommend them to EVERYONE - Thank you Ryan and crew!!!
Chris and his team are extremely friendly and helpful. They were very informative.
Thanks for helping me find this place Angie's List!
I have used Chris three times. The cost I put for the seat motor is misleading because most of that is the cost of the motor from Toyota. Chris not only installed the motor for a reasonable labor charge, but spent a lot more time attempting to repair the seat back for no additional charge that Toyota had already told me was not fixable.
The cost of the bearing repair for two was below what I got from another repair shop for one and half the price for two that I got from Toyota for one.
This is the easiest Angie's review that I have done. The bottom line is that I have always dreamed of finding a honest, knowledgeable and reasonably priced mechanic and after all these years I have finally found him. And he and Ryan are very personable also.
It is just really fantastic to be able to take your vehicle to Chris and not have to check around to validate that you are getting a reasonable price and not have to worry if you are getting ripped off.
