First Rate

I wanted to take a moment to share how pleased I am with Autopia service and staff. They always take to time to explain services in an informative manner which is greatly appreciated since Im no ""gearhead"". Perhaps most important is no suprise billing since their main goal is to keep you in the loop during the whole process! I highly recommend Autopia to family and colleagues. This is the only auto repair shop ... view morefor me!

Jay J Johnson / 11/17/2011

nice, but not good.

Well the guys up front are nice and seem to care. Maybe a little 2 used car salesman ish to be honest. But the guys up front are okay! Work, not so much. I $330 job ended being $830. They had my Vehicle friday, sat sun and monday at 3pm it was done! Oh my! I would NEVER EVER take my vehicle here again! I would never send my worse enemy here for repairs. Much better and less spendy places. My 2 cents. ... view more Peace PS write the better biz bureau, they help and make crooked companies pay

GR8 Experience With Autopia

I went in because I had an emergency on my 2005 Ford Mustang and Autopia was the nearest repair shop to where I was. I was desperate and anxious because it is never fun having an unexpected expense. I went in very near closing time and was given a solution to my dilemma in a very timely manner. I was offered a loaner car--at no cost to myself, very convenient. I was also reassured that my car would be diagnosed t... view morehe very next day with an estimate ready. The next morning, as promised, I received a call explaining just what was going on with my car and exactly how much it would be. Great, friendly staff and very clean, comfortable relaxing waiting room atmosphere with complimentary fruit & snacks at the ready. Overall A+

Very happy with my service

I started bringing my VW to Autopia a few years ago. Since then they have performed my routine oil changes, brakes, tires, alignment and tune-up. I have always been extremely happy with the level of customer service and care for my vehicle. I have never been surprised by any additional work or price. If ever I had a question or issue, I knew I could call them and they would have an answer or solution for me. I w... view moreould recommend their service to everyone!

Shady, Sketchy, and Just a Bad Idea

Rip off. Total rip off. I brought my new Mazda in to have some work done - and they used fear tactics to scare me into getting additional work done. The next time I was at the dealer, they told me that the maintenance schedule didn`t require ANY of this work to be done, and that the parts they wanted to replace were in perfect working condition. I too feel like a sucker. I talked to the manager who gave me a cru... view moremby labor certificate. Yeah right, like I`ll ever take my car in to this joke of a business again. Steer clear of these money-hungry thieves. I had to take the car BACK to get their work done right. Even then, the dealer had to fix their horrible workmanship. Screws were loose, the bumper was scuffed and they almost stole my mats. I`m lucky I noticed they were missing or I would have never seen them again.

Highway robbery seems apt here. Their brand new part failed on me. They seem to prey on unsuspecting uptown youth, who aren`t knowledgeable about their vehicles.

Very sad and disappointing storefront for what I believe to be a criminal operation. I agree - they must be paid on commission. DO NOT TRUST THESE THIEVES WITH YOUR CAR, NO MATTER WHAT. TRUST ME. THEY`RE THE WORST.

They try to be nice, but that doesn`t fix my car properly.

These guys are terrible first off. I bought my car from the owner, less than 2000 miles after buying it, the clutch starts slipping and only had 22,000 miles on it. They were nice enough to give me 50% off labor to have them repair it but that was still $600 just for labor. After getting the car back I start driving it home and my car starts to overheat and was making a grinding noise coming from the front end and I ... view morecall the owner wondering what they did to my car. Turns out they didn`t bleed the coolent after they were done which is routine and should`ve been taken care of. So I ended up fixing that myself. I also found stuff they missed when I had my car on a lift, not minor things, two bolts were sticking about an inch out of the housing that connects the transmission to the engine. They also didn`t replaced the belly pan so now my engine is completely unprotected from below.

Next trip there after dreading going back, some issues with my clutch pedal which they say wasn`t related to their installation of course. I dropped my car off at 9am, didn`t hear from them so I called at about 3pm since I was getting done with work and they still didn`t know what was going on and said they would call me back. I decided to go there since I still didn`t hear from them at 4:30. They leave me waiting in their waiting room until 5:30 before I heard anything from them. Which on their wall it says that they keep you informed as their 10 commandments or whatever, total BS.

I wouldn`t wish their service apon my worst enemy, save yourself a headache and time and go somewhere else.

Problem Solved at Autopia

I have had my 2002 Ford Escape serviced by Autopia regularly for several years now. Recently I had a starting problem, not the battery. We thought it might be the fuel pump, but that wasn`t it either. Autopia put their best mechanic on it for two days with diagnostic equipment to localize the fault, and they found a corroded electrical connection, which they cleaned and resealed, solving the problem. They were ve... view morery fair with me about pricing. I appreciate their competence, thoroughness, and integrity.

Great first impression

I stopped in to Autopia because I live nearby and my license plate had been ripped off by a snow bank. The staff was friendly and they quickly fixed my license plate free of charge. I did not have the time to get an oil change but I will certainly be going back there soon for one. Thank you for the great customer service and fast repair!
