PAWLEYS AUTO CENTER

unknown

Everything went well but took a day longer due to having to order the radiator.They also discovered that the water pump was leaking so the timing of all this was perfect.

You might be able to get cheaper service at one of the other local garages but PI Auto will ensure it's done right for your vehicle and they stand behind their work if needed.

Pawleys Auto has always demonstrated a high degree of integrity, knowledge and professionalism. The building they work in is simple and workmanlike -- nothing fancy, but they are a superior outfit. They explain everything in detail to the customer, always give a quote, and even give me a ride home and pick me up when my vehicle is done (at no extra charge). I can't say enough that is good about them -- they are excellent!
I gave them all "A's" and a "B" in cost -- not because I think they are high but because 1). a Volvo is usually fairly expensive to repair and 2). I have never compared their cost directly to other repair shops although I suspect they charge the customary rate which I would rate as a "B". The closest comparison I have to rate their cost is a transmission replacement: first I took my car to Aand A Transmission on 2nd Avenue in N. Surfside and had it replaced for $2,800. Pawleys Auto replaced it again for $3,000 a short time later. Yes, it was $200 more, but the Aand A Transmission shop had put a worn, rebuilt transmission in my car (unknown to me, at the time) and Pawleys Auto installed a brand new Volvo transmission -- worth the extra money!!
In summary, I believe a customer really couldn't go wrong with this team: the owner has the highest integrity and is a dedicated auto-lover with tremendous knowledge, the mechanic that works on my Volvo is simply an expert, and the staff in general is very friendly and conscientious.
