Fast Service  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Ken L.

The Air Conditioner on my car died, which usually means a complicated and expensive fix. Took it in at 9am and had a diagnosis and estimate by 11am. Car was done by 1pm. Very knowledgeable guys. My car is a heavily modified tuner and they knew exactly what they were looking at and even complemented me on specific things I have. They are friendly but like others said, don't be offended if you don't get a lot of chit-chat from them. They have that gruff, no-nonsense working men vibe and won't BS you with a lot of smooth talk. Very fair prices too.

Had my breaks done. They rotated the tires at the same time. Quick and efficient service. Good price. I would definately recommend this shop to anyone who needs repairs done.

They don't mess around. You bring your car in, they tell you when it will be done, and they fix it!! I brought my 1997 explorer in for a new Air conditioning system, and they put it in, on time, and it works great!!

Wow!!!! 50 years in Business... 5 Star Rating - World class

By AlDaviz

I had just moved into Little Italy when my service light turned on. So I decided to take my 2007 Lexus in to the local repair shop. I was very impressed with how clean the WHOLE establishment is. They obviously care about what they are doing. They gave me a ride to work in a clean comfortable car. They called me with an estimate for my 30K service, which was less then the dealer. I dropped my car off at 8am and was ready by noon. They called me 4 days later to thank me for the business. I also got a thank you card in the mail. Griffins Auto Repair really shows they care about their customers. Now I see why they have been in business for 50 years. I' ve referred several of my friends and they all thank me for the referral.

Pros: Very professional
Cons: None

Avoid Griffin Auto in yo have a late model car!!! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By kurtisthrasher

They over promise and UNDER deliver!!!!!
If you have a new car, do NOT take it to them as they do not have the knowledge or proper computers/machines to adequately service your late model car!

They dont even know how to reset a oil or tire monitor system!!!
