Description of Work: This my go-to place for everything from oil changes to major car repair. They never do anything without telling you why it needs to be done and they never require you to do anything you don't want done. Bouth of our vehicles are old (1998 Ranger & 2000 Mitsubshi), so they have reached the ae that larger repairs are neded. Still cheaper than a new car. I trust Cindy and har crew to keep us up & running.

Description of Work: They replace a pipe to the muffler on my Honda 1990 car. It took about 10 minutes. I don't recall what I paid, and I don't want to look it up, but it was reasonable.

Description of Work: Our 2002 BMW was in need of service and minor upkeep reparis but, was not interested in taking it to our local BMW dealer any longer becasue of high cost and poor service. I located Quality Plus on Angies list, and chose them for our service and it was a very satisfacory experience. Very professional, courtious and priced fairly. thanks for the experience.

My Dodge Ram work van suddenly lost its power steering. The van was also in need of various other minor repairs. I used Angie's List to find a trustworthy shop and settled on Quality Plus Auto Repair in Salem. Not only did they not disappoint, but they exceeded my expectations. Everyone was genuinely friendly, and the mechanics are very knowledgeable and professional. The owner, Cindy, is also the Service Manager/Advisor, and she deserves the highest praise. She listens carefully and explains things equally carefully and clearly. She has the talent of being professional while, at the same time, making you feel very relaxed and "taken care of". The bottom line is that I TRUST these guys. They're honest, professional, and affordable.
Description of Work: Replaced seized alternator, tensioner pulley, and alternator belt. Replaced oxygen sensor and spark plugs. Fixed electrical problem by replacing switch. Replaced high beam bulb. Repaired broken interior cage door handle. Inspected and adjusted brakes. Checked #8 cylinder for cracked head at my request. Re-glued door seal. Cleaned and deodorized air conditioning system. Numerous other standard checks, such as fluid levels, tire pressure, etc.

I like them a lot. They did very extensive work in my car about eight months ago. The owner is a woman and she is the manager. She hires mechanics. She gives lots of information and she is very knowledgeable. She does all the ordering and she is very well organized. She always calls up if they encounter something that they didn’t expect and gives me the options. They are quite timely. She will let the mechanic talk to me if she can’t tell me what is wrong. They always have the old parts to show me. I always feel well informed of what is going on. They do quality job and they pay attention to details.
Description of Work: I take my car to Quality Plus Auto Repair & Mufflers for all the services.

Everyting went very well and they told me we did not need the suspensiion grommets. I had them perform the other repairs and it came a bit under estimate and I was very satisfied with their courtesy, professionalism and prompness. I plan to use them for all service they can handle in the future.
Description of Work: Replacement of drive belts and AC hoses. My wife owns a 2002 525 BMW purchased new and had previously taken it to the local dealer for repari and serivice but, recently because of an outrageous charge for wipers that did not function and, what I would consider a total lack of profesionalism by most of their staff, I started looking for an alternative repair facility. While at the dealership, the informed me that we needed belts, hoses and suspension grommets. I decided they were not a good choice and went to Angies list and decided to try Quality Plus.

Last week, I went back to Quality Plus for the third time because my wife's car had the engine light on in the dashboard. They did a diagnostic scan and came out and told me that there were a couple of things that did not need immediate attention but what did need immediate attention was the gas cap, which was missing. Apparently, the service attendant at the gas station did not screw the gas cap back on. Cindy charged us just for the gas cap and not for the diagnostic scan. I don't know how many garages would have done that but I left with a sense of well-being at not having wasted money over a scan when the primary problem was a missing gas cap. Car repair is all about asymmetric information - the supplier of the repairs i.e. the garage knows a lot more than me, the consumer. This is why consumers get screwed over pretty frequently in this particular business and that is pretty common knowledge. I don't know about you but when I find someone who is reliable, honest and has reasonable prices in this business, it would be foolish of me to even consider another place. They have my business and my goodwill.
Description of Work: The engine light came on so they did a diagnostic scan this time. I have taken my car once and my wife's car twice to Quality Plus so far and plan to continue to take our cars there.

Cindy is very down-to-earth and friendly. She wanted to make sure I followed through with the services I said I was going to do (tune-up and oil change) and didn't try to pressure me into any service I didn't need. We talked about the timing chain and worked out some rough pricing for possible future work. Part of the reason I went to Cindy was to check her out and fine a mechanic my girlfriend could go to after her warranty expires. I think I found one.
Description of Work: They inspected my car to see what had caused my "check engine" light to come on and go off the week before, and for anything else that needed doing after 200,000 miles. They found that I needed a tune-up, a new valve cover gasket, idler, and belt. I had them replace the idler, belt, and the gasket. After replacing the idler they discovered my timing chain is making noise, but noted that it's doing okay now, they just don't know how long it will stay that way. After doing the tune-up myself I could, with the new quiet idler, hear the timing chain myself. They also noted I'm getting a lot of blow-by causing me to lose oil. There was no pressure to open up the head and do a ring job as they couldn't see any reason to spend that kind of money on an engine that's running just fine in all other ways.

On time and at the price promised. The repair to my truck was minor and I did not have time to do it myself. As I have done many times before, I dropped it off the night before and out the key in the slot. Cindy called me at work the next morning and I told what was wrong. They did the work for almost exactly what she thought it would cost and got it done a day early.
Description of Work: I had some minor repairs done on my pickup truck. My family has used Quality Plus for 16 years or so. Cindy and her staff are excellent. She is open and communicative, if there is something you need to know, she calls BEFORE the work is done. I perform a lot of my own maintenance and she understands and will talk it over with me about whether I want to do the work or let them go ahead and make the repair. I refer all my co-workers and friends to Quality Plus. I would send my mother there for car work, they are that trustworthy.

It went great. Cindy was personable and professional both on the phone and in person, the work was done in a timely manner for a fair price. I will be bringing them more work. It's nice to find a business that treats you right and does great work.
Description of Work: My 2004 Chrysler 300 had its engine light lit for several weeks. In addition it wasn't running smoothly. I made an appointment and they were able to get me in within two days. They diagnosed the car within a few hours and told me that the codes were not serious (slight evaporative leak in the fuel system) and did not try to sell me work I did not need. They also diagnosed and replaced two belts, which I thought needed replacement, and charged me less than their estimate. The car was done the same day. Cindy is very friendly and a great service writer. I would recommend these folks highly.
