My check engine light was on, my car was acting a little funny, so I called 6 different places on the Automobile Repair list for estimates. George’s was the lowest by at least $30 to 50 on average. One place was $107 more! It ended up costing $90 (which was equal to the estimate) for the labor/diagnosis and slight fixup. That’s a pretty big difference. —ES

2006-12-06 15:46:29   I took my Explorer here this morning. Strange that they quoted me $90 for an estimate, but I will ask when I go pick it up after work. I like the other guy who works there too. —MyaBrn

2007-01-19 13:04:47   Very nice guy, this George. Very efficient. Cheapest place in town to get a tire patched. Only $15, and that includes putting the tire back on the car. —EliseKane

2007-11-07 14:10:38   Called today. George's Auto Repair will rotate and balance all four tires for $68. —MattVanGundy

I went to another auto shop at first and was charged a large $140 diagnostic fee for them to tell me nothing was wrong. I took my car here and he told me a belt needed to be replaced, cost $80 total and my car worked great. It had been making some bad squeaking noise before that. —DagonJones

2008-02-11 20:11:32   Essentially i have the same comment as DagonJones. The two guys at the shop are nice and honest. George is old and mostly does the transactions. Eric is not quite as old and seems to do most of the service nowadays. He will call to update you on progress and if there will be additional costs so you can weigh your options before they perform additional repairs not in the original estimate. Their diagnostic fee may seem high (it's around $40 depending on the problem), but it's a flat rate and usually worth it to find out what's really wrong with your car. I took both my 88 Honda Civic and my friends 93 Dodge Spirit for service and tire balance. My other friend took his 2001 Mazda Protege in for the 60k mile service and told me he was also happy with the job they did. —NoahPK

2008-10-06 12:21:18   My pickup truck was making a slight grinding noise on the left side when I’d go over bumps, so I took it to George's for a diagnosis ($45). Eric phoned and said my sway bar bolt on the left side was cracked, and that it would cost $250 altogether to have it and the bolt on the right side replaced (which Eric said may or may not be cracked, but either way, he said, it may follow suit, if the other side is indicative of a trend). Without fixing the other side, it would cost $200. I said I’d phone back with a response, because it seemed really costly for such a cheap part. According to some autoworker forums online, replacing a sway bar is a relatively easy task (if you have the right tools, which I don’t). I agreed to proceed, but then about half an hour later, Eric phoned back and said his parts supplier made a mistake on the pricing, and that it would cost an extra $29.99. I thought this figure a bit odd (it seemed conveniently rounded up), so I conveyed my suspicion. Eric stammered for an excuse—something about bushings—but I stopped him short, deciding to give him the benefit of the doubt. The actual repair was executed without a hitch, with same-day turnaround, and Eric fixed a loose protective flap under my wheel-well for no additional charge. I doubt my experience is indicative of anything untoward, but I thought I’d share all the same. —ZN

2009-01-19 16:22:12   This was my first time at George's Auto Repair and I left very happy. My pickup truck was making a horrible rattling noise and losing coolant fast. Eric was helping me and already knew what was wrong as I drove in. Since we already knew what was wrong, they didn't try to push me for the diagnostic fee like some other repair shops I checked out before finding this one. I had a good feeling from the start. He gave me a quote, I left my car, picked it up, and that was it. These guys are fast, friendly, knowledgeable, and cheap. They do a great job, explain everything, and don't try to rip you off. I will definitely go back if my car needs maintenance again. Highly recommended. —cielillusoire

2009-01-21 16:33:01   This place is the best. I have brought both my cars to George and Eric to have work done on them. Once for a routine maintenance service and the other for a major brake / rotor replacement. Their prices are very fair and competitive and the service is honest. Nice to see an auto shop that still embodies the way things used to be. Great job guys! Thank you. —Roberto

Rather than fleecing me for an expensive repair George found out about a recall & referred me to the dealer to get it done at no cost. I was so appreciative! A good friend has used George's for many years & she highly recommends as well. —Dora5
