I guess I kind of said most of this above, but I cannot express how diligent these guys are. They communicate exceedingly well and explain everything in great detail - both what needs to happen and then what actually happened. They are genuine and sincere. At one point I felt like a family member was working on the car because of how focused they were on resolving all of the crazy issues I had with this car. The refused to let me walk/drive away without a vehicle that ran smoothly and made me feel safe and confident that everything was FINALLY handled properly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. The hours these poor guys put into getting this resolved was obscene and they should have charged me so much more. They drove me back and forth to my house a couple times as well. I've purchased tires from them and got my horrendous headlights restored in the interim. I will go to them for everything that they are able to do with my car. We've since taken our 2003 Toyota Matrix in for work and are just as happy with the work done on the Jetta. We will take our vehicles nowhere else. What's interesting is that the way I found them was that my car stalled in the parking lot of a shopping center across John R from their business. I got the car started again and slowly drove across the parking lot - stalling 3 more times - and crossed my fingers and squealed across the 4 lanes to get to Interstate's parking lot. I dropped my key in the box, got a ride home and waited for the phone call the next morning. Complete blind luck - very good luck.
Response from Interstate Auto Care
"Dear [removed member name], Thank you very much for these kind words. As you stated so eloquently, there are those select few cars that push the limits of logic, and [removed member name]'s Jetta was certainly one of those. :-) I'm glad she has been behaving herself and stand by, as always, in case she requires anything further. Thanks again for your feedback. Customers like you make it all worth it."

I went in to have my lug nuts on my tires loosened as they were frozen. They gave me an estimate of $40.00. I said ok and they began to do the work. Later, a worker came to me and said that I need a new battery and had my hood of my car up. I never gave them permission to go under the hood and had no problems with my battery. I paid the $40.00 for loosening the lug nuts and left. I would not recommend this company.
Response from Interstate Auto Care
"Dear Ms M., First and foremost, thank you for your honest response in reference to your last visit to Interstate Auto Care. Although I would have preferred it be a positive experience on your behalf, that is something that I believe is out of my control at this point. For you see; over the past 25 plus years that I have been in the automotive service business, and having served literally thousands upon thousands of customers over those years; I can count on one hand, how many customers have objected to a service technician opening their hood to check the fluids, top up the fluids, ck the tire pressure and so forth. -and for free for that matter. In fact, I can honestly tell you that you are the only one that even comes to mind at this point. As for the recommendation of the battery: It was load-tested and failed our load-test. Therefore, a recommendation was made; and you, the customer excercised your right to decline that. What is so objectionable about a service professional advising you, the customer, of something like that? While I suspect that you have had some subsequent trust issues, involving whomever has serviced your vehicle(s) in your past, let me assure you that your mistrust is misplaced, as we have thousands of fellow customer like yourself that place their trust in our good care, everyday, and tell us as much. Thank you again for your feedback, as I sincerely wish you a more positive experience from your next service provider. I'm not sure what Interstate Auto Care could have done differently to avoid you feeling this way. Perhaps you may provide your next repair facility a warning of your concerns, so that they may avoid assuming that you are like the other 99.999% of customers who are fine with the complimentary services which are offered at Interstate Auto Care and every other repair facility under the sun. Sincerely, Bill Nalu, President- Interstate Auto Care"

The one thing that has stood out each visit is the integrity of the workers and owner. The first time I went there was for a second-opinion after a shop my neighbor worked at suggested $2,400 in maintenance and repairs on my car. None of the suggested work had anything to do with what I originally took the car in for. I went to Interstate Auto for a second opinion after a recommendation from a friend. Interstate fixed my car for less than $300 and recommended not performing the other work suggested by my neighbor. Two years later, I still haven't done any of the additional maintenance suggested by the first shop.
I thought about giving Interstate Auto's rates a and quot;Band quot; because their rates aren't the lowest - trying to be fair to future customers. In the end, I gave them an and quot;Aand quot; because I've literally saved thousands in unnecessary work. It seems to me that other auto repair places look for opportunity to run up the repair bill. Interstate Auto looks to suggest only what needs to be done and using better-grade of parts and lubricants when performing the work.

They did a very nice job, and I would definitely take my vehicle back there for service. They were easy to schedule an appointment with, and they were also very professional and friendly when I dropped the car off and picked it back up.

Service was performed on my college age daughter's 1999 Chrysler with 150k on the odometer that Interstate keeps running like new. This shop is managed in a 100% professional manner. It's techs are honest and knowledgable. And they go out of their way to treat customers with respect and consideration. I put trust in their recommendations regarding my vehicle. These guys have cared for and serviced all of my vehicles since 2001.
