Pump gas at this location Shell gas station needed a jump. The clerk young man in the Shell gas station did not even help me, but yet he sold me Jumper cables 12.99,24.99 .I went across Street to Fred's to a local shop in the area not far from one of my homes.I asked a young man to Assist Immediately with the battery charging. He was very responsive and quiet & assisted! Please support this gas station.They have morals here.I was born in an Era where people help each other! Support this location. Regular gas is 2.99 per gallon premium, which is use is 3.89. Nice!

Had my cars worked on here for almost two decades. Most recent work was all four brakes replaced, close to $1,000 worth of work. One of the back brakes was binding up after Fred's did the work and another shop alerted me to it and I had them fix it. When I told Fred Senior about it he offered me a free oil change in exchange for my troubles, but I had just had one done. I called to redeem my oil change today and Fred Senior was rude and said it wasn't him that offered me that. You just lost my business and I was going to ask you to quote me for a starter replacement, too. You can't do it right the first time and you don't value me. Goodbye! My name is protected for privacy, so before you act like I'm not a customer, I was.

This was the second time I needed service. Once on my Mazda and once on my Honda. Both were done timely and neatly. I highly recommend using Fred's Auto Center for your gas and maintenance needs.

Both of our vehicles, Dodge and Ford, were acting up and we took them to Fred's auto center. Mechanics were professional and knowledgeable. Cost of repair was reasonable. Very satisfied with the place.

This place is absolutely phenomenal. There was a reading of a misfire on cylinder #5 on my jeep,the fuel injector needed replacing. I went there late in the day not only did they fix it perfectly,they stayed late so I didn't have to take my motorcycle to work and freeze the next morning. They had it back to me by 8pm.the 1st ever time I went there I thought there was something wrong with my a.c. they looked and couldn't find anything so they didn't charge me a dime.They really are GREAT HONEST people.what more can you ask for.i would recommend them to ANYBODY.

I have taken all my vehicles to Fred for regular maintenance for the past 15 years and am more than satisfied. I've never had trouble making an appointment and have always gotten my vehicle back in a timely manner. Always great communication and great service! Thanks Fred!

Went to another place of business to replace my control arm and of course getting an alignment the other place wanted 1300. Fred only asked for 340.00 saving me 1000 dollars. Next time if i ever get into a serious issue I will go to these guys first. They also worked very quickly on the issue as well got the car back in two days. Guys are great highly recommend them to anyone for any issue.

Fred's auto is a very professional reliable and knowledgeable neighborhood mechanic they truly know what their doing. Tony the mechanic is all aces in my book. Fred sr is truly a gentlemen this family business knows how to treat their customers down to the son matt. I had a major problem they got back to me with a estimate and return time. They had my vehicle back to me for the weekend with out missing a beat. If you need a good honest mechanic that will do their Very best. Fred's auto is the place. Their gas prices are also the best around...full service for those who don't want to pump their own gas. A good business is hard to find..this place is a old-school gem. If you enjoyed the review. You know what to do . Thank you in advance for your time.

Fred Jr, Fred Sr, and Tony are great. They do top notch work, are very reasonably priced, and are great to deal with. They have fixed many of my cars over the years and always get the job done right. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

I was looking for an auto shop to have my car repaired, and called Fred's Auto Center. It was very easy to setup an appointment. I took my car to the shop the next day, and had my car fixed while I was waiting at the shop. The job was very well done and the price is very reasonable. My car runs great now. I highly recommend it.

So in all honesty at first it wasn't a good experience because Fred didn't complete the entire job at first. However, I'm also human and understand mistakes are made and brought it back. He replaced what needed to be replaced because I had already spent the money at his shop. All in all a good reliable business.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Freds Auto Center did my repair in a very well timely fashion, i had my car back same day, and ever since i got it back i have not had any of the issues i was having before i brought it. Everyone there is very friendly and the price was very affordable.

If you are looking for an HONEST and DEPENDABLE garage to do repairs or maintenance on you car, truck, or SUV, look no further than Freds Auto Center. The guys there do the job right the first time. They take a lot of pride in what they do and stand by their work. If they come across something that doesnt look right, they will let you know and give you a "heads up" . In this day and age of all kinds of scams out there, you need not worry about Freds. Awesome place to get the job done without worries!
