Reviews for AJ Foreign Auto

Ratings_icons A J Foreign Auto is dependable and locally owned.

A W.

I've been going here for about 2 years now. Very upfront and they'll pinpoint to problem if you want to try and fix yourself. Very quick turnaround. A little bit pricey, but never had to go back for the same problem. Always willing to give you a ride to work if your car is in during the work week. Recommend them to my friends all the time.

Ratings_icons Great work guys (and gals)!

Thanks Dave and Skip for taking such good care of my car, back to running like a champ! Thanks for taking the time to show me what was wrong, and letting me know my options before committing to the investment, really appreciate the straight talk.

I have had my Toyota Highlander serviced by AJ for several years now, and they have always delivered upfront, honest estimates followed by quality work

Ratings_icons Please read the other reviews so that you don't get ripped off!

The other reviews pretty much summarizes everything. I go to the shop for a certain problem, they tell me to do whole bunch of things at a ridiculous price, and after the repair the problem still remains. I go to them again to complain that they have not fixed the problem that they were supposed to, and they say that they would look at my car again, but I would have pay for any additional repairs that they find. I lost my whole month's worth of living expenses without even getting the problem fixed! Please Avoid!

Ratings_icons STOP DONT CALL OR DO IT

M W.

To shorten up my story all that needs to be said is these people are robbers, unethical and do not abide by the law. Dont service or buy a car here Skip and his crew should be arrested.

Ratings_icons They are CROOKS!

Anonymous

They are the stereotypical, crooked auto mechanics. They tried to charge me a ridiculous amount for a repair I didn't actually need. I may be young and I may be a female, but I do know when I am not being treated with respect and honesty. The part they wanted to replace cost $70 (I did my research), but they wanted to charge me more than $1000. I was very upset because at first I thought that something was terribly wrong with my car when I heard them describe the "problem." Finally I took my car to a different, reputable place who told me that my car didn't really need that part replaced at all! AJ Foreign Auto are liars and thieves. Beware. My experience with them was an absolute nightmare and I hope people read this review and avoid going through the same thing.

Ratings_icons 3 years and still happy

SAC001

Thought I would provide a bit of feedback on AJ Auto, they have been taking care of both of my cars for a few years now and too often I think those that are happy don't spend the time to say Thanks! The team has been very good to us, and you can always get to the owner if you have any issues and get it resolved. I think rule #1 should be to find a good technician and then stick with them so that they know you and your car, and can be the most helpful when you need it. Thanks AJ!

Pros: Fair pricing, informed advice, does research on issues, BMW

Cons: Get's busy at times

as a 2 year customer AJ does a great job taking care of my BMW. Keeping it running is not cheap, and parts are expensive, but AJs does a great job of telling me what is required to keep it running smoothly. They have serviced it for the last 25000 miles and have done a great job. E-mail me for a reference at anthony.caudill@gmail(dot com) - Tony C.? - Dec 29, 2008

AJ Foreign Auto are liars and thieves. Beware.

My experience with them was an absolute nightmare and I hope people read this review and avoid going through the same thing. If you're an expert on cars and know how to argue your way with mechanics, then good luck with AJ Foreign Auto. If you're like me, someone who needs a reliable, trustworthy mechanic who will be honest and fair with you and treat you with respect even if you're not a car expert, look elsewhere!
