Chris Automotive

COMPOSITE REVIEW
A local neighborhood shop where everyone «knows your name.» Convenient, reliable, honest and helpful. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. Now that folk are keeping their automobiles MUCH longer than ever before, business in the maintenance/​repair of older autos is booming. Smart «small shop» operators know the satisfaction of clientele keeps people coming back for the «little things» that often become «big things.»
Recently I went in for a muffler repair to find out my old car needed (really…) rear brakes, fuel line replacement, steering line replacement, and a few other things. My car is routinely «maintained» (was…) at a Buick dealership so to find out (and see it visually myself) just how «unmaintained» it was — irritatingly shocking.
f8 and be there.

My car needed towed to the shop because the wheel bearing needed replaced. I was recommended by Midas to Chris Automotive. I called to inform him of the issue and asked if I’d be able to ride to the mechanic. He agreed! Chris was so nice on the phone.
My drop off for my car was between 4 & 6. I called Chris on a Friday to schedule my tow the next day and gave him the time frame of my drop off. He said they had some tows scheduled early in the afternoon & would call before on their way for mine.
I ended up calling around 4 to check if they only accept cash for tows & Chris explained he would be there in about 15 – 20 minutes & that they have no way to run credit cards from the truck, so only cash would be accepted.
When they came to pick up my car, it was all downhill lol. My car hadn’t moved in 2 – 3 months. The brakes had locked and it couldn’t get pushed onto the truck. We also tried jumper cables to jump it but that didn’t work because the gas was a little low & again it hasn’t been started for awhile. Chris & his buddy hooked up the car with a chain and steered it on to the truck. $ 60 (6miles total) my car was on it’s way to the shop. Since my car was just a drop off at mechanic, I didn’t have to be there /​ride with them but it was nice to know the option was there.
Thanks again guys!!!
