We really appreciated Greg's assistance.
Description of Work: My 1969 Fiat stopped dead in the middle of the road. It does not have flashers. I had waved many cars around when Greg, on his way home from work, pulled up behind me, set his flashers for protection and stayed until the tow truck arrived. He even offered us a ride home.

Their oil change is usually about $39 because they do like a system check, like a point check and everything to make sure everything's fine. They're very professional. They will tell me different prices. They tell me if I should buy a new one or they can just give me a reconditioned part. They've worked with some of our used cars, our older cars and their prices are very competitive and they go the extra mile to find me parts at the cheapest price. They do a point check and they'd recommend stuff and if I don't want to do it, that's fine. It's good because I get everything computerized, printed out. It's a nice place. With automotives, I'll never know what I'm getting into sometimes but when they're going to be a little bit late than what they said, they call right away and give me a heads-up; that happened once but that was fine.
Description of Work: For auto repair and service, we use AM-PM Auto. We last went to them for an oil change.

It went great. I had been going to another place but their was a change in management and they were abusive to my roommate with the way they addressed her. One of their mechanics was leaving at the end of the month to set up his own shop but I did not want to wait that long to get work done. AM-PM was also recommended by that mechanic. I had gone on Angies List to look up a different repair shop and found AM-PM Auto. They provided a loaner vehicle for the day my van was in the shop so I could get to work. They took a look at the vehicle and called me to give me an idea as to what was needing to be done and what needed to be done immediately. This information was also laid out on the invoice they gave me along with the cost. Of my total bill of $1,210, $871 was for parts and $377 for labor. If you go on their web-site it will provide you with some discount coupons. I had a coupon for $100 as my bill was over $1,000. They are a family run shop and found them very cordial and willing to co-operate with ones schedule.
Description of Work: Replaced both front quick struts an front sway bar bushings, oil, lube and filter and checked tires and tire pressure and fluid levels and for cracked hoses. Did alignment to the best of their ability at no charge as their was to much play in the outer tie rods. Tie rods need to be replaced.

Less than a year ago our car had problems accelerating. We took it to AM PM to have it fixed. They were fast, courteous, and did good work. The same problem started occurring again this year. We took the car back to them and they determined it was that the part they had put in had failed. The repair cost us nothing as it was a warranty issue. Again they were efficient, courteous, and did the work well. Our 1954 Nash Ambassador is stored 50 miles away, but we are thinking of bringing it to AM PM the next time it needs work.

My motor was sluggish come to find out my inter-cooler and turbo were bad on my diesel. They went the extra mile and found some used part along with some new ones and saved me some money. I have been taking our vehicles there for 12 years and have always found Greg to be a very trustworthy and fair guy. My oil pan is leaking and instead of a 12 hour service which means pulling the motor we are going to try alternative method of stopping the leak. Most shop would even try anything like that.

Description of Work: I've been getting my oil changed and some regular service for the last year or so. They aren't the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. They're friendly and are willing to explain work that is necessary. I've never spent more that $100, so no major work, but so far so good.

They seem to be reasonably honest. You can choose the parts you want to be used. They work with me on that. They are willing to use owner supplied parts and it’s just that they don’t provide guarantee and that does not matter anyway on a 10-year-old car. I certainly think they could improve in pricing. There was something loose in the front brakes, so I will have to take it back to them. I will use them in the future.
Description of Work: I use Am-Pm Automotive Repair for auto service. I had been to them three weeks ago to check the front brakes and some other minor work.

This is only my second time using AM-PM, but both times they have been very professional and have fixed my car without doing any unnecessary work - both times they fixed the problem for about $130. I was very impressed that the tech brought the car to my house so that he could properly identify the noise that I had heard. The brakes are working much better now and they determined that the noise I have been hearing is not an immediate problem.
Description of Work: My car needed some brake service and it has also been making a funny noise on road trips. I had brought the car elsewhere about the brakes and it had not been fixed properly.

My wife?s workplace uses them for maintenance on their vehicles so that is how she found out about them. They don?t treat her like an idiot because she is a woman. They didn?t give her that attitude at all. They pegged it right away as far as what was wrong with the vehicle. They fixed it right away and we have not had any problems with it.
