I was getting a weird shake at highway speeds after replacing my tires. Took my car up to Tenleytown Automotive and my man Tommy hooked me up diagnosing and fixing the problem. He determine the tie rods were bad, and I was in need of an alignment. He went the extra mile and was super detailed and confident! My car feels new again and I couldnt be happier with the outcome! The whole staff is on point and won t let you down. Appreciate you guys!

I have had numerous great experiences with Tenleytown Automotive over the last 4+ years as they have kept our aging car alive. They have been able to give me good advice on what to get done or skip because we think our car should only last a couple more years, though with them taking care of it, could be longer! They are also priced so much better than the dealer. They have gone above and beyond to track down complex and confusing issues. Highly recommend!

Their online system was easy to use and approving repairs was a breeze. I loved the courtesy inspection and how thorough they were with pictures and explanations. Additionally, the work they did on my car was superb.I chose to decline service for several of the issues they found because they charge much higher for labor charges and parts than other mechanics in the area. The quote they gave me for several routine maintenance fixes including tire rotation, coolant, transmission servicing, and valve cover gasket replacement was over 800 dollars more than I ended up paying at another local mechanic.That being said, If you want a premium service for a premium price I think tenleytown automotive is a good bet

This place has great service, friendly crew. I loved their transparency in the costs breakdowns and when having an inspection of the vehicle, you re able to see (with photos) the parts that need to be addressed. Communication was great as well. My car was in at 8am and out by 2pm. Quick and easy. Thank you Tenleytown Automotive for the excellent service.

They are super friendly, informative, and quick at this place. They helped fill my tires last week and when the tire light went on again this week, I knew where to go. The culprit (a nail) was located and a tire plug/patch was applied that should last the lifetime of the tire. Paid $30 and was outta there--the whole experience took less than 20 mins. Definitely keeping Tenleytown Automotive in mind for any future car issues.

Pretty sure this is the best mechanic this side of the Mississippi. Fair, honest, and fast. I had car troubles the day of a big trip to New Jersey, and they were able to get me in and out fast, car running like a dream. These guys are great. Highly, highly recommend.

Been coming here for a few years now. They are always very thorough and do a good job with the work. They're not pushy or trying to upsell. I recently had some work done beyond just normal routine maintenance, and they finished it quicker than I expected and at a reasonable price.

I appreciate that I can get an appointment in a timely manner. I like that they ask me before they do any work and are always responsive when I ask questions. The work is well done and the car is clean when I pick it up. You can tell that this is a family owned business, they take pride in their customer service.

We brought our 2015 car in for an oil & filter change. Great one day service w. reasonable pricing. Sent us an estimate before doing any work. Recommended we put off a wheel alignment until necessary, maybe 6 mos.While this was a simple maintenance visit, in the past, they have taken on much more complicated problems. Always pleased with timely and reasonable work.Thank you to our regular car guys...

I came in for a battery replacement the other day. I was happy with the service and the price was reasonable, so I will be coming back. My long-time mechanic on Mt. Pleasant St. retired and I'm looking for a new one. So these guys are it.

Tenleytown automotive diagnosed my car starting/battery issues very quickly, listed out all their recommendations with parts/labor prices and made it really easy to select or decline the services i wanted completed. The work was completed fast.

The scheduling, drop off and repairs were down seamlessly via text and email and without any hassle. As always with car repairs, I wished maybe it had been less expensive, but the convenience was unbeatable and the attendants were friendly and helpful.

Service was quick, and they were clear about costs from the start. Now the car makes less noise and with clean filters there's no faint odor in the cabin.

Highly recommend Tenleytown auto. I just bought a car and took it here because they had great reviews. They very quickly identified issues that needed to be fixed and some that were just recommendations. I really liked how I could approve work online in just a few clicks and the work was done in a day.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Tires, Wheel alignment, Oil changeServices: Air & cabin filter replacement, Tires, Wheel alignment, Oil change

Dropped car off without appointment at 8 am. and work was finished by 4 pm. Great, complete service. Explained why car needed rotors too. I was skeptical because I m an old motorhead. Will definitely be darkening their doorway again albeit next time with an appointment.Service: TiresService: Tires

Tenleytown Automotive was super-quick and efficient. I dropped off overnight and they had a comprehensive estimate in my email first thing in the morning. (Authorizing was easy, too.) Then the work was done by the end of the day. (They're also very close to the bus stop, for easy access.) Thanks! :)

My car battery could not have picked a better place to die all of a sudden! After pumping gas at the station, I had the unfortunate experience of hearing clicks when trying to start my car again. Stuck at one of the pumps, I went to the cashier to report my situation. At first he was unsure he could help since it was late in the day, and then out of nowhere one of the technicians from Tenleytown Auto came out, inspected, the situation, and changed my battery on the spot! The friendly and super quick service was amazing and appreciated! In all, the entire impromptu experience took 20 minutes. I highly recommend them to anyone who values incredible service from experienced people willing to go the extra mile to provide the best service out there!

Had a disturbing experience at this automotive garage. I filled up my vehicle at the Exxon $80 and parked to get change for the tire machine and when I got back someone had put a giant sticker on the car window as if I was parked illegally. I went in and expressed my frustration and the man running the auto shop was rude and had no care for anyone filling up or using the air machine. No customer service skills nor people skills! I meant everyone choice word I said back to him in response. The man I spoke to worked at the automotive garage not the Exxon.Service: Tires

Best customer service I've ever encountered at a shop. They were so accommodating and truly concerned about the vehicle. They gave a loaner vehicle for me to get around because they had the vehicle longer than expected at no cost. They have been nothing but extremely helpful and patient with the whole situation. I would work with them anytimeService: Transmission
