Customer Reviews
I had a great experience at this shop. It is hard to find honest mechanics these days, but the team here is professional and transparent about what needs to be fixed. They offered a very fair price compared to other quotes I received. The quality of the auto repair was top-notch and completed on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable local mechanic. I'll definitely be back for my next service!
Have been using this service for decades. Honest, courteous. Have recommended them to others with only positive feedback!
I went there for an inspection. They were fast and courteous. Older vehicle 2010, I asked if they could do an oil change and they did it on the spot I was in and out within 30 minutes. Will continue using this location! Very honest and professional!
Great experience. Well-mannered and polite professionals that were done with my car’s inspection. Definitely my go-place when it comes to walk-in services. As an extra bonus: what a cozy office they have with plants!
I went there for my car inspection!! I am so glad I did, they are very honest, fast service, very polite and friendly!! Inspection was only $12. I recommend this place to anyone!
At 8AM on Monday morning wait was 2 hours long. The old dude is rude! Go to J&L Auto it's a drive through inspection center so fast and easy, Abco is a joke! These people at Abco are searching for something wrong to make $$$! Save yourself the headache go to J&L.
All I will say is don't bring an older car here. You WILL NOT pass inspection. All of the POS cars on the road obviously didn't pass at this location. They called out a non-existent hole in the muffler of my vehicle and failed it. I left their shop and went by my mechanic on the way home to get a quote and he says there is absolutely nothing wrong with my muffler or exhaust system and this vehicle should've passed. Take your mandatory (extortion) $12 for a 'safety' inspection elsewhere and avoid this shop at all costs. Absolute frauds that just want you to pay for repairs that you don't need.
Horrible customer service. Standing at the counter with a prescheduled appointment. When the employee came to the counter, they unfriendly told me to sit. Then serviced the two people behind me that didn't have appointments. These two people were told it would up to a one hour wait. Then the unfriendly employee said my wait time would be over three hours. I asked why I was told to sit down and others serviced before me; answer was to sit down. I know that vehicles can be dropped off, but the attitude of the employees at this place is uncalled for. Will never use this business again!
TLDR: Don't bring your truck here Came in just a bit before 4PM and they told me "Trucks have to be dropped off" and to bring it in the morning" I told them I cannot do that do you have an appointment and was promptly told "No appointments". Lo and behold I brought my truck back right at open on Saturday with one other car there and was asked if I had appointment which i responded "you told me the other day you don't do appointments". He then got angry and just kept saying "Tuesday" to which I replied "what?" since that did not answer my question. Then he proceeded to yell at me "AN APPOINTMENT FOR TUESDAY" and told another person "give me your keys" ignoring our conversation and waving me off. I decided to take my business elsewhere since regarding other comments this guy seems to not like trucks. Please mind I was nothing but respectful and planned to do an appointment if i could not fit in on Saturday. I had no problems going to another walk in inspection business 10 minutes later. I don't know if they just do not like trucks but this business needs stop lying to customers about accepting walk ins or appointments since it seems to change depending on the day or how they are feeling.
