Very very poor communication for a shop that has been around so long. Vehicle has been sitting at this shop for 2 months and have gotten close to 0 updates as to what's going on.

Terrible place. I called to schedule a diagnostic, I already knew the problem and had told the man who scheduled me the said issue and told the specialist as well upon meeting him. I was told to come when they open at 7, I did. The specialist didn t show up for work until after 8:30. I told him I had a problem with my clock spring and the dome lights. I ended up receiving a call from the specialist about 4 hours later telling me the problem was indeed the clockspring, which I had said was the problem earlier that morning. I told the specialist not to fix ANYTHING but I agreed to pay the diagnostic, he laughed over the phone when I said I had somewhere I could take it for cheaper. He went on and on about the time he spent trying to diagnose the issue (even though I literally told him it was the clock spring loI) I then asked what the problem was with my lights to which he responded I honestly didn t even look at the lights . When I showed up to the shop to pay my diagnostic the specialist had said while I was in there I went ahead and fixed a broken wire making it seem as if he fixed the wire on the house free of charge, which is what should have been done since I requested NO work be done on the vehicle. The receipt I signed didn t have a break down of what I was paying for so I didn t see until afterwards that I was charged for this wire replacement that made NO difference in anything going on with my car I tried to dispute the wire charge with my bank and this establishment wrote back saying I just didn t feel like I should have to pay?!? What in the world . LOL took my car to A&D auto and got all my problems solved, costed HALF of what they quoted me here at Auto Electric, very rude and the specialist will talk to you like you re dumb and try to scam you if you re a young girl.. clearly lol guess that s how they stay in business

Not the friendliest over the phone, but they do solid, honest work at a fair price. They re a little disorganized, but there s a reason they re always so busy.

I have been to this place twice. My only gripe about the service is that getting then to call you back is a bit of a struggle, though that can easily be remedied by making a polite phone call later in the day.That said, they do great service, don't charge very much relative to the competition, and the service they provide has a high degree of quality.Example: They rebuilt my alternator rather than charging me an arm and a leg to replace it.Go to these guys first.

Reasonably priced for work. Work is done right. They know what they're doing. Had an issue one time. Turned out to be a fuse. Asked what I owed and was told nothing. I insisted on something. Was told, "OK, give me a buck then." Good service. Great people.

Terrible! The guy that took my call was extremely rude and didn't take any time to help answer my questions. All while I was stranded in a parking lot because my starter had officially given out. NEVER go and spend your money with them. They can't even be bothered to answer questions.

Took my car in to fix a reduced engine power issue. Was told numerous times it would be done "today" or "tomorrow." 14(!) weeks later it still wasn't finished. Apparently he only worked on it in his spare time and lied about how close it was to being done each time I called (because no one ever called me with an update and no one would return a call if they weren't available). It's crazy to think someone can go 3 1/2 months without their car. It's also crazy to work on something in your spare time when someone makes an appointment for your service. If you can't figure out the problem, fine, but let the customer know so they can take it somewhere else. I finally gave up on being patient and took the car back. The problem is nowhere near fixed. Horrible experience.

I called in and was told I would be called back to set up an appointment and my call was never returned. I gave them some time and called back a couple weeks later and the guy was rude over the phone and didn t seem to want to take my business so I told them I would go elsewhere. Would not recommend anyone trying to get their car fixed here.

After purchasing an alternator from Sunline and installing it into my car we had to take it here to be tested. Turned out the one we got didn t work. Jim was very helpful! He didn t even charge us to test the alternator and let us know it was bad. You hardly find service like this anymore. Highly recommended!

Jim repairs all my starters, haven't had a problem yet. small shop, really busy. Those who say they are rude either are rude first are just aren't asking the right questions. Very knowledgeable. When guys like Jim go away, there won't be anywhere to go...you'll be stuck with high labor costs and incompetent techs.

VERY BAD. They have had my car in their shop for over 2weeks now and every time I call them they tell me they will have it done in the morning and it's been a week of that now and I am still without my vechile. NEVER again will I go to them or even refer anyone to them. Stop telling ppl u will have their car done a certain day if a week later it's still not done!!!

Didn t even go in due to the guy on the phone being so rude. I was asking simple questions about to service I wanted done and he was just so rude the entire phone call. Won t take my business and money to places that can t be kind a respectful to the people paying them.

They rebuilt the starter in my 91 minivan, and it cost what they said it was going to cost. They were done less than 2 days after I had it towed there. I'd definitely go there again.

Was recommended to go to this place, when I went I was promised to get a call back and they never called. They may be good at what they do but they did not follow through.

These guys know what they're doing. I've called them many times as multiple different questions and right off the top of their head they typically always know it
