Where to start what a professional, kind and awesome crew, who definitely went above and beyond. When you find a company that not only does amazing work, but is truly there to help the customer, its a great feeling!! Layla was unbelievable and went out of her way to help, and the powder coat, amazing!! Highly highly recommend

A recent freeze caused some issues with my transmission. I got referred to this shop by a friend of mine because I was having a difficult time finding a shop that would work on my 23 year old manual transmission.They were happy to take on the job and got it done quickly. They maintained communication through out the whole process so I knew the status and the cost as things changed.They had to replace the slave cylinder and clutch kit, and had the job done in less than 3 days from the time it got put on the lift. They also charged me a fair price, and I don t feel like I was price gouged in the slightest bit.My truck is running perfectly again, and I am a very satisfied customer. I will be going to this shop for all of my transmission needs moving forward.This shop is fast, fair, and honestService: Transmission

I brought my louvers for the rear window of my Mustang for a quote. I later went back with the louvers to make sure Shawn would be able to sandblast and Powder Coated. Shawn told me he definitely could do it. He knew what he was doing after getting my louvers back, they had a bow and them with some rivets that were broken loose. with the bow in my louvers. I cannot open my trunk without putting a towel in between the trunk and the louvers and pushing down. I contacted Shawn about it, and and I also brought the car for Shawn to try and repair it. Problem was not resolved. There was a few times I tried calling Shawn left messages and would not return my call. I was also told he was not in the office two different times which I went there and he was at the shop. I tried talking to him, and he finally got mad by telling me to get out his shop that he would not replace my louvers or give me my money back. now I have to buy a new set of louvers for my car and eat the money that I paid to have them Powder Coated pretty expensive experience for me I would never recommend him not even to my enemy. I will try to get a picture if possibleService: Painting

Wonderful experience!! Like the dentist, people usually dread having to bring their car in for service. Well Armadillo changed that for us! Honest, knowledgeable and timely, from the first phone call to picking up our baby.

Highly recommended! I've had so many mechanics try and pull a fast one on me. Not here! I was referred by a friend and honestly, it was a Godsend! My car has had numerous problems in the past year and it has been a headache, until I started bringing my car to Shawn and his team. The entire staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I never have to wait to bring my car in when there's an issue, and it's always fixed very quickly. They also take the time to break down what exactly is wrong, explaining what caused the problem, and what is being done to fix it. And the prices cant be beat. Believe me, I've checked. They are always lower than any other place I've gotten estimates from. I always get a second opinion and/or check around for competitors prices because of my past experiences with other shops. Armadillo has yet to be beat. I'd give 100 stars if I could. I promise you wont be disappointed in the quality of work or service.

Shawn and his team are very trusting and honest. If you have a problem (that you did or did not know about) they let you know- unlike other shops who may not mention it like I ve experienced. As a female, I appreciate the honesty and explanation given when necessary. I brought my older vehicle to his shop to be checked for a long drive with my kids to Virginia and he found a problem that could ve resulted in a terrible accident on the interstate and even stayed late to repair it so I could leave that night. Not only are they thorough with the work but also have returned it in a very timely manner and the cost is lower than other places I ve called to check prices. If you need mechanic or body work- call Shawn!

Nick and Shawn were amazing. I took my SUV in for them just to replace my water pump. They just made me feel so comfortable with them. I started telling them about how my car was vibrating when I hit 45 mph. They took my car for a test drive and told me I needed a new tire ( which I did buy ). When they was finish with my vehicle I took it on the interstate and once I hit 45, the vehicle started to vibrating. I called and spoke to Nick. He told me to bring my vehicle back. So I did. This's truly how much there care about there customers, it took them about 15-20 minutes to figure out what was wrong with my vehicle. They had it really for me the next morning. If you are wondering well how much did that cost. You wouldn't believe in how LITTLE it did cost. They treated me with courtesy and respect !!!!!!!! Why am I saying all of this......I'm a woman and they didn't try to tell me B.......!! They really care. They now have my business for life.....but not just mine even my ex is now using them. Thanks guysP.S. Down to earth type of person

Amazing quality,service,price & knowledge of all parts from bumper to bumper. I wouldn't hesitate to bring any of my vehicle's here again. Shawn(owner) is hands on & is very assessable whenever I needed him. thanks again Armadillo for being so trustworthy in a business where trust is hard to find.

Shaun took great care of us. We had some 12' truss pieces that are being installed in a church and we wanted them black. We got them back and they look great. Our clients were very happy with the overall project, in part due to small details like powder coating the truss.

I normally don't write reviews but I was asked to share my experience with other Google users. I just had my car repaired at Armadillo Automotive. I was in an accident where the drivers side head light, fender was crinkled and my door wouldn't open correctly on my car. All that was fixed, repainted and looks great. I was given a good price and am very happy. I wish i could post pictures here.

On two separate occasions I have used Armadillo Automotive. The first time I had my inboard boat motor repaired in 2016 and the second my daughters car just a few weeks ago. Both times I received excellent service, honesty, and workmanship. I highly recommend Armadillo Automotive!!

I found a nail in my tire on my way home from work. The shop was technically closed (they close at 5pm) but they let me stop by anyway so they could fix my tire. They were very nice and quick. I'll definitely return to them for car service.

Honda SUV, rear end accident. Rear door, bumper and lights replaced and repainted by Armadillo. I was very satisfied. A year later I went to Walmart to get a new battery. Four days after it wouldn't start. I had it towed to Armadillo. Shawn told me "They simply didn't tighten the clamps down. No Charge." I'm never going to bring my Honda anywhere else.Thanks Armadillo Automotive!Ida Cashel

Armadillo Automotive is the worst! It took them two months to finish my car and it still isn't done. Shawn kept giving me the run around when I asked him to fix the bubbles in my paint. Also they left white compound all over my vehicle. After three months of back and forth I finally gave up, and now Im stuck with a crap paint job and out $3500. Save yourself the stress and money and go somewhere else!
