A & M Automotive

Trustworthy and fair to the point that I’ve actually been uncomfortable with his prices at time – they’re too low! Seriously.
Owner operated, one helper. He’s «that guy» when it comes to a reliable, honest and damn good guy.

Alex has been more than helpful. He never does more than needed. His prices are very reasonable and he even does extra without charge. We trust him completely.

You can’t go wrong with Alex. He knows his cars! A&M is great value for the money. I highly recommend them.

Alright. I never NEVER bother to write reviews. I figure that’s what other people like to do. But I was just perusing auto parts stores and wondered «Hmm, does Alex’s shop have any reviews on Unilocal?» Well, turns out it doesn’t. Which might be a good thing for me. He gets all his business from word-​of-​mouth (I tend to have a big mouth when it comes to Alex. If people see this review and start making appointments, it’ll take me months to get an appointment next time I need one. Oh well…
Alex runs an independent shop. Used to be just him, but now he has an assistant. Still I know Alex is involved in the work whenever I bring the car in. I don’t have to worry that some other, less competent mechanic looked things over. I’ve been using Alex for 8 years now. Never had a complaint. He talks me out of repairs — struts creaking: «Yeah, but they’re probably good for another 10−20K miles.» Slight cracks in the belts: «You should take a look at them again in 10K or so, they’re fine right now.» He puts stuff up on the lift and spends 20 minutes checking things out and then I have to insist on paying him something for his time. Oh and I’ve referred dozens of friends. Many have told me they ended up getting the work done for half of what they were quoted elsewhere…
