"Hi [member name removed], I am sorry our service didn't live up to your expectations. We did use genuine Toyota brake pads which were more expensive than aftermarket pads. We have found the quality of the other pads available locally that day were not acceptable. We could have done the job for less money and made more profit but the quality would not have been up to our standards. After reading your review I also checked with Toyota and their price for the job was higher than ours. I would love an opportunity to win back your trust. Please call me any time to discuss how we can accomplish that. Harry Whyte Owner First Class Automotive 919-878-9100"
First Class is a classy act, they are very nice and getting an appt is easy and quick.
They ran diagnostics on the AC, gave it a tune up and added some juice. Works great now !
I REALLY like going to First Class because
- it doesn't cost as much as going to the BMW dealer
- I'm not tempted to buy another car while I'm there because its just repairs
- it's smaller than the dealership
- I feel more valued as a customer than other places
The technicians at 1st Class Automotive have completed several repairs for
me over the years. I have never had to take the car back because the
repair failed or was incomplete. They earn their money.
They're honest, quick, competent, and clean:
- Honest
- I had one occasion where the check engine light was coming on. They checked it out and reset the codes, but found nothing that needed to be serviced. A week or so later, the light came on again. They reinvestigated and found a service bulletin from BMW that described a set of conditions where the light would come on and the needed repair. It was probably around a $100 repair, but they did not charge me for it because they didn't catch it the first time. They volunteered this -- I did not have to press them on it.
- I recently had a repair for a broken power window regulator. The estimate to fix was around $400 -- consistent with what I found by searching the web. The final bill came in under the estimate at $320. I've never been to another repair shop where they beat their estimate and returned the savings to the customer. Again, they did this on their own.
- Quick
- I often get in same day or next day. If its something simple or urgent, they really look for a way to get you in the door at their first opportunity.
- They provide shuttle service to nearby areas, which has been a lifesaver for me.
- Competent
- I've never had a problem with their work. They're always willing to explain what will be done and the reasons they recommend service.
- Clean
- My car is always returned as clean or cleaner than when I left it. The waiting area and work area are always clean as well.
That's because it is so hard to find a good auto shop -- I'll let the fact that I found one influence my next car buying decision so that I know I can continue taking my car there!
