I strongly advise against using this shop. Angelo doesn't allow customers to bring their own parts and doesn't honor warranties for his aftermarket parts. He is very defensive, and tries to elude his responsibility. When I returned with persistent issues, he refused to properly inspect and insisted on charging me inspection fee. By far, this has been the worst shop I have visited in this area.In September 2023, I replaced my left front CV axle, right stabilizer link, spindle (used) from Angelo right after inspecting my 2009 Ford Fusion with 210k miles from him. I spent a total of $660 for aftermarket/used parts and labor. He did not let me bring my own parts and used aftermarket parts which broke down in 6 months. Also, Angelo tried quoting $500 for transmission fluid cooler lines which I was able to get fixed elsewhere for $150. I came back to him due to continued clicking noise when making turns and he insisted that it s due to the gear inside the transmission, so I just kept driving because he was going to charge an inspection fee if he lifted up the car.After 6 months (5k more miles), the noise got much worse. I went to another shop for inspection and was told that I needed to replace both left and right CV axles. So, I requested Angelo to warranty the left CV axle but Angelo refused and blames it on my wobbly transmission gear and the age of the car that supposedly caused damage to the CV axle and that my car is old. The videos show the play in inner and outer joints of the 6-month old left CV axle that I took last week. It is ironic that he also blames the car's age because the reason we go to auto repair shop is to fix things that don't work as car gets old.By the way, Ford Motorcraft axle costs $90 at RockAuto so OEM parts are affordable, contrary to Angelo's claims. At least, I've learned to educate myself. Most importantly, I just changed my CV axles with OEM Ford Motorcraft parts and the car runs totally fine now. I ve been searching Google for months with this issue, which Angelo did not or could not figure out. In the end, it did turn out to be the CV axle problem.Edit: I just have seen 4 reviews newly posted glorifying this shop in less than 24 hours as soon as I posted this review. I wonder why.

DO NOT GO! Scammer I got my gasket fixed for my fuel meter that was going up and down, the owner suggested to use used parts. I did not want to spend $1,100 as he first said for new parts, I listened, he did say we don't know how long it will last and there is no guarantee and it will not be under warranty which is reasonable. HOWEVER, I drove LESS than 15 miles since the fixed the SAME EXACT PROBLEM happens again and I failed my emission for it, also lost $800 to this shop getting nothing fixed. It almost made me wonder if he just put another faulty part in OR JUST PUT MY EXACT BROKEN PART and nothing was changed.Services: Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

Angelo at Class A Auto has been a tremendous help when it comes to specializing in foreign cars. I had suspension problems on my 2016 Land Rover LR4. Angelo worked on my vehicle and it s been riding like butter since with no fault. His customer service is exceptional and never fails. Mechanics with great work ethics and honesty are hard to come by. Highly recommend if you re looking for a foreign car specialist.Service: Steering & suspension repair

Angelo is terrific. He's straightforward and honest with you about what needs to be done and why. His prices are reasonable, but he doesn't cheap out and take shortcuts. He's thorough and professional. If you have a BMW or Mercedes and you want the work done right, Class A should be your "go-to" shop.

I have a Benz and my car had a minor bump which was Cosmetic damages in the back. Danny the owner was really nice in fixing it and working with the insurance company. He said I will work with the insurance company and 1300$ (Approved insurance amount) is less but should suffice. Also, he does not want to pay taxes so he takes entire amount in cash. I picked up my car after repair, paid him 1300$ and thought everything is great.Although, he charged insurance company 4800$ extra and my insurance bill was 6000$ Instead of 1300$ and my premiums did sky rocket because of that.I have filed a inflated repair insurance fraud claim against Class A auto.They will rip you and the insurance company by unethical practices.Services: Tires, Body & Trim, Oil change

The professional service can only be outshined by the pride in the work of the staff at Class A Auto.I have been bringing my vehicles to Class A for years and have been recommending them since. Not only do they remember your name, giving you a warm welcome feel, they do fantastic work at a very reasonable rate.I would not put the car that I take to drive my children around in anyone else's hands. I trust them and sincerely recommend the work done by their staff.

I brought three cars from them. Which they maintence and did a great job. They were my mechanics for over 15 years. I never had any complaint. Until my daughter brought her car into to get repaired. They stated..the transmission was going and that they got it going it might last for few months. It didn't last for a hour. She was across town with herself and my grandaughter in the car and got struck.She had to call AAA to tow her in. I asks for at less half of my money back, he stated no because he work on the car. He said he work something out if I get a transmission. Not acceptable..my daughter need reliable car to be driving my grandaughter around. I was very disappointment since I spend thousand of dollars maintaining my cars here. I guess it doesn't pay to be a loyal customer.
