This has been my to-go place for getting my vehicles maintained and repaired since 2009 and every visit has been consistently impressive: amazing service and attitude, incredible speed and quality of work on cars, and honest and fair prices. My vehicles (personal and business) left in better condition than they arrived and worked smoothly because of Tom, Chris and the entire team there. They always take good care of you. Thank you for giving me that peace of mind and for doing the incredible work you do every day I really appreciate you!Services: Electrical repair, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

Highly recommend this shop - Tom and his team are fantastic at A-1 Automotive! Our family has been long-time customers of this shop until we moved a couple of towns away. Purely for convenience, we tried out establishments closer to new home and were disappointed with all of them. We could tell that something was wrong with the car. After two paid inspections from different places we were frustrated that both said they didn't see anything wrong. We went back to A-1 Automotive. Turns out there was a lot wrong that was very obvious if anyone had actually done a proper inspection. Very disappointing that other businesses could be so deceiving about doing a legit inspection, especially when we could tell there was obviously something wrong. Those places told us that everything looked great but the problem was actually failing brake parts. Lesson learned that a trust-worthy establishment means everything to us now. Well worth the drive for us to be taken care of by Tom's A-1 automotive team!

A1 Automotive is small family owned business that delivers excellent service at a great price. I have been taking my car here for years, driving over an hour, because finding an automotive shop you trust, and not feeling like you are being taken to the cleaners, is hard to find, and worth the drive to anybody. The shop is owned by Tommy and his dad, and with Chris as their lead mechanic, you will never feel you and your car are in a revolving door. They have always exceeded my expectations, fixing/servicing my car with replacement parts backed with great warranties so I know they are not installing cheap parts that break. They take pride in their work, and I support this small business. Great job!

Did some work on my husband's truck and charged a fair price. Took a bit, but was upfront about it. Also found an exhaust leak we didn't know about and welded it for almost nothing. I think Tommy charged us $20. Great knowledgeable owner.

Great work, they saved us a ton of money compared to other places. My dad has used them for years. And for years I've been taking my own car there, we've always had good work!

Absolutely my mechanic! Honest Friendly local business we should all support. I broke down on a Saturday within an hour he had me towed in. He was able to fix my problem by the end of business day! Thanks to Tom and his pit crew I'm back on the road

Calculated Ripoff! After Tom and his mechanics worked on my car, the engine light came back on (within 24 hours). I took the car to a trusted mechanic who informed me that Tom and A1 had overcharged me (as he could see looking at the bill) and arranged things so that I would have more trouble with the same issue (engine emissions). When I confronted Tom, his tongue came out and he seemed to have trouble speaking. He tried to pay me my money back in cash (didn't want there to be a receipt) and hoped I would go away. He admitted that they had in fact screwed me. But I am not going away.
