see answer to above question.
Description of Work: The "brain center" of my car stopped working - the thing on the dash that shows the date, mileage, temperature, etc. I also needed an oil change. I took the car to Roy's and explained the problem. Later that day, I received a call from them and they said when they hooked up their diagnostic thing, that it apparently reset everything and was now working perfectly. They did say they couldn't guarantee that it was fixed, but let's wait and see. I paid for the oil change and rotation ($35), and that was it. They could have so easily have charged me over $1,000 for an apparently unnecessary repair, and they didn't. They are honest and trustworthy. I will always take my car back to Roys.

The guys we dealt with were Dennis and Steve and they were terrific to work with. At one point the repair took a little longer than expected and they called and asked us if we needed a ride anywhere. We will definitely use them again!
Description of Work: They repaired the camshaft and crankshaft sensors, replaced the timing belt and water pump, rear camshaft seal, transmission and coolent fuild and oxygen sensor.

Service was professional and quick; the mechanic that worked on my car (Steve) was really helpful afterward and provided his honest assessment of the state of the car. He said that even though it had the original struts and they should have been replaced 50,000 miles ago according to factory service guidelines the suspension was fine and didn't need service. This trip earned my trust and I'll definitely be going back for any service I need done.

1) The a/c service was done professionally - the Freon and dye were added. The car was brought back to check the leak in the system and they said there was a very small leak in the compressor - but recommended that no repairs be made as the leak was very small. 2) Replaced the front and rear stabilizer bushings. The vehicle was brought in on a Saturday and they were able to get the parts and install the parts and have it out of the shop by 3 PM that same day. They checked the alignment and it did not need re-alignment after the service. They also rotated the tires at no charge to me.
Description of Work: Two services 1) air conditioning recharge/dye added 2) replacement of stabilizer bushings

I was in a rush to have four new tires installed on my Acura TL, plus I was experiencing a shudder at certain speeds and while braking. They installed the tires one day after I called ( had the tires shipped there by tire rack) , and because they forgot to check the brakes, they picked up my car from work, delivered it back to me there, fully repaired, so I was safe on my drive to see my daughter at college. Fantastic!

First of all, Rich & Dennis were great to work with, both were friendly and professional. When I requested synthetic oil for the oil change, they warned me that an older car like mine--1999 Camry--often leaked this synthetic product since seals, etc., often loosen over years of usage. Their warning impressed both my husband and myself as neither of us knows that much about the nuances of car maintenance. Roy's also did a check of belts, hoses, etc, and give the car a clean bill of health. In addition, they replaced a blown fuse that had reduced my radio to little more than a dashboard ornament. All this, for less than $28. Although Roy's isn't located near my house in Creve Coeur, I plan to continue to use them for all my auto maintenance issues. (So does my husband.) At last, I think we have found someone we can trust to deliver quality service at a fair price.
Description of Work: Changed oil and oil filter. Examined hoses and fluids. Replaced radio fuse.

I love them. The biggest thing about them is that I feel like they are very trustworthy. There was a time a long time ago where I went in to have two things done and when they finished the first one of the two, it sort of fixed the problem so they called me and said that I don't really have to do the other one yet if I don't want to, which they didn't have to do. I would have never known the difference so that was very honest of them. In fact I'm taking my car there tonight.

It went great! I don't see how my experience could have been any better unless they bought me dinner.
Description of Work: Got a set of new tires and an alignment. They were on time, friendly and professional as always. They even found another problem with the car and fixed it at no charge! Granted the problem wasn't a showstopper but they still could have charged me for it. I don't know much about cars at all and I need to have a trustworthy place to be able to take my car. Roy's has always proved to be trustworthy, even telling me I didn't need something done when I asked for it and that the car was just fine. I highly recommend Roy's and the crew at 14305 Manchester and will continue to use them to service my 10-year-old car.

Dennis provided a quote for the work over the phone. With an option of two different water pumps, he recommended one based on his experience with Jetta's - I've never had a service advisor discuss choices in engine components with me before, it was very refreshing and demonstrated his knowledge of the work to be performed. I had researched the error code and the maintenance work I wanted performed, Dennis agreed and worked my son's car into their tight schedule. We were kept up to date on their progress, they were able to complete the work ahead of schedule which greatly helped us. My son called as we were caught in traffic trying to pick up the car before closing, and they cordially offered to stay until we were able to make it. The price was exactly what we had discussed. Steve, the owner's son-in-law, talked with us about the work performed, and reminded us not to hesitate to call if we had any questions or experienced any issues with their work. Roy's ranks at the top of my 40 years of having cars serviced around the country!
Description of Work: 2004 VW Jetta with 90K miles: Replace timing belt, serpentine belt, water pump, engine coolant temperature sender, thermostat and coolant flush. Reason for service was three-fold: 90K service interval for timing belt (it's an interference engine, a broken timing belt is disastrous), engine was throwing a P2181 error code for "Performance Malfunction in Cooling System", and son was relocating to LA.

Roy's Auto Repair and I agreed on a plan for the complete evaluation of all systems on my 2003 Subaru Outback, including determining what was causing a whining noise when I accelerated. By that afternoon, they called with a detailed, priced estimate for the six items they determined required service and/or replacement, at a cost of $1,200. It was extensive work, but Roy's mechanics had it finished in a reasonable amount of time. They called regularly to keep me updated on their progress, and to thoroughly answer my questions, and discuss alternatives. The final cost was even a little less than the estimate. I am 64, and have dealt with many auto repair facilities, including dealers. This experience with Roy's Auto Repair, in Manchester, MO, was by far the best, most professional, most customer friendly, and most fairly priced automotive diagnostic/repair service I have yet to encounter. ,
Description of Work: Diagnosed all existing and potential costly problems, for my 2003 Subaru Outback, so I could make an intelligent decision to either trade it in on a new car, or have it repaired and keep it for another three to five years. (I had previously taken it to a local Subaru dealer, who estimated it would cost $4300. to repair two items. As it ultimately turned out, one item the dealer said needed to be repaired ($1200), did not.)

I got the next Monday morning appointment to drop off the car, to my liking. They were very busy that morning and so I agreed to leave the car overnight with them. Got a call arround noon explaining the work that needed to be done, I was much releived that it was nothing big and the estimate that they quoted was also very reasonable. I was expecting the car back next day but received a call a little before 7:00pm that the car was ready. I decided to pick up the car next day. They are very honest about the work that needs to be done and the pricing is also fair. Did I tell you that their hours are very convenient, 7:00am to 7:00pm. Will I go there again - anytime I need to.
Description of Work: I needed the transmission fluid change and the check engine light was also on on my 2000 Camry. The air conditioning system also needed work since it would give a bad smell inside the car when truned on and would also bog down the engine performance. I had always taken the car to a dealer for service and judging by the amount of work I was expecting a big estimate. So I searched Angies List for a good auto service location and selected Roy's.

We were experiencing tons of issues with our 2004 Kia Sedona and so got quotes from both the Kia dealership and from Roy's. Our initial contact with Roy's was for a diagnostic test to determine what-all was wrong with the vehicle, and I feel that the money charged for this service (less than $20) was very well-spent. After going over all the issues they found and hearing about how their findings compared to what the dealership found, Dennis said they were willing to work with us on the pricing since we came to them through Angie's List. Music to my ears! Since I was also impressed with the way Dennis treated my partner and I (respectfully, and with no condescension or BS that I could detect - despite the fact that we are two women who clearly know next to nothing about cars), we decided to go for it. We dropped the vehicle off on 6/14/12 for them to look things over one last time and give us a final quote. We had a set amount of money put aside to spend on the repairs, so I was overjoyed when Dennis said they could do the work for that amount - even though it was less than they had initially quoted based on the diagnostics. We gave the green light Thursday afternoon (late), so they began the work the next day (Friday, 6/15/12) and were ready for us to pick it up on Monday (6/18/12). Not only is our minivan running MUCH better these days, but our bill was for exactly the amount we had been quoted - with tax and everything. We would definitely use Roy's again for future auto service needs!

I went by Roy's to discuss the work I was wanting done and to find out how much it was going to cost. I knew a timing belt was going to be expensive. They were very polite and provided me an estimate. I later called and made an appt and then took my car in and work was done as promised and was ready at the end of the day. I asked them to take a look at the belts/hoses and the transmission fluid; they said it was fine, did not need to be replaced.
Description of Work: Timing belt/water pump replaced. Oil change, wiper blades replaced, and rear brake mount light replaced. Made appt., and my car was ready at the end of the day as promised. Price was exactly as quoted. Very professional and courteous. I will continue to have my car serviced there in the future.
