5 stars ...Always non-stop busy, and thats what makes em so good !Quick in & quick out ...Im the longest-serving customer w/ the same vehicle ...Hardly anything they cannot do, so make an appt.
Mixed review after going here.What they did well:They got the car in to look at it within an hour even though they were busy.Had the vehicle repaired within a couple days which was excellentPeople were friendlyPrice for work done was reasonableWhat needs work and why I would use caution if you are clueless about cars:After they looked at it they called and said the vehicle is undrivable and needs over $1,300 in repairs.This is where Im a bit disappointed in how they operate.I call them back and am told it needs control arms, struts and rear shocks. I question how rear shocks are causing the original problem and am told its just time since they are original and the car is 14 years old.They couldve easily been more upfront and on the original call been more like: you need control arms replaced to get the vehicle running again for $300. However its also probably time to get the shocks and struts done but not urgent at this time to get the vehicle running again. As when I questioned him I was told the rear shocks did not have to be done.Just seems like they could be a bit more transport and not try to get every dollar possible.
I recommend running as far away as possible from this shop. Towed my Mercedes there after it broke down, they diagnosed that the fuel pump was bad, replaced it, and one thousand dollars later I was back on the road. A week later, my car breaks down in the same exact manner it previously had. This time, I take it to a different mechanic, who tells me whoever did the fuel pump job had no business working on these cars. They wired the fuel pump incorrectly and the fuel tank float was stuck in half way, causing the car to read it had half a tank when it was empty. Furthermore, heated positive wire at terminal fuel pump was making poor connection, which the new shop I took to had to replace connectors at the fuel pump terminal. The current shop was forced to completely take out the fuel pump that your team put in and re-do the entire job the right way. I just paid this new shop $600, not including the cost of getting it towed, and this $600 was NOT to get any new parts, but to redo the fuel pump installation the correct way. $600 entirely to fix mistakes done by this shop. I contact AA about this and of course they give me the run-around for 3 days straight. Spent 3 grand here over the course of a couple months and this is how they treat their customers. Place is a joke.
Fantastic A+ service! They took excellent care of me when my car was leaking. I was a little panicked and they fit me in the next morning despite being super busy. They were very patient with me and my lack of knowledge on car maintenance. They were not at all condescending or try to charge me for work that was not needed. A wonderful, ethical, locally owned family business that I highly recommend!
Thad, Benjamin and crew were so helpful! In a pinch, they were able to look over our car while stopping by on a road trip. They even went the extra mile of driving us to the rental car and answering all questions along the way.
Wonderful service! I broke down while driving across country and this place was not only able to emergently squeeze me into their busy schedule, but the staff were extremely pleasant and kind. My exhaust system was frozen with ice and the catalytic converter needed replaced, so it was a time-consuming repair, but they were able to get me back on the road by the afternoon with the car fully functional, and the head guy even tried to buy me lunch!
Have taken multiple vehicles there on multiple occasions and they have never disappointed!! Very good communication and a very fair price!! They always seem to go above and beyond!!!
Ben and his team at American Automotive Service have been awesome to work with. They have performed service and repair on multiple vehicles for my family. They are honest, dependable and work as quickly as they can to diagnose, estimate/approve and repair vehicles. Ive also found their pricing to be extremely competitive and fair. Keep up the great work!!!
I went there this morning to have a new water pump put in my car and they did awesome! They saved me over $250 compared to many other places and even got me in first thing this morning only after first calling them yesterday . The shop was clean and the customer service was good too. I would highly recommend!!
I have been using American Automotive for about 5-6 years, and they are awesome! Ben, Larry, and the rest of the guys are friendly and understanding! Easy drop off times, thorough check ups, they explain things really well, and their front lobby is clean. Highly recommend!
Good service if your patience 🤙🏽💯
Great service and very affordable! The guys name was Ben and he was extremely helpful and gave phenomenal Customer service! I will definitely keep coming back for all my automotive needs!
Took too long and never found where the noise was coming from. Kept car hostage for 10 days
Very nice and knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend them to anyone. very fair prices also. thanks guys!
Great customer serviceFriendly people
Best repair facility in the greater Lafayette area. They have always treated me fairly and do a top notch job. I cant recommend them enough! Thanks to all the staff and management you guys are phenominal A+
Excellent, great customer service and support. Will return definitely.
We were traveling through the area to Nashville when our car started making a terrible noise. These guys got us right in, in spite of their full schedule, and took care of us. Thankfully, it was a quick and easy repair and we were out of there in 15 minutes. Thanks for your help... we are very grateful!
We came in from out if town and had a light come on and wanted to get it check on before we made the trip home. They were able to get us in right away and were so helpful. It wasnt easy to find the issue, but they worked hard and tried many things. They were so helpful and really set me at easy. So grateful to them.
Great place to take your car fast and friendly!!!
Ive been doing business with Larry and the guys over at American automotive for years great people and theyll get the job done!!!
Thanks for the great service!
These guys will treat you like a member of the wolf pack. Top notch mechanics. Thanks for fixing my ranger. It rides like a million bucks. So happy I listened and took my vehicle here. You guys rock!
Larry and Ben are GREAT to work with. Cant find a more honest car care business anywhere!! They always go above and beyond.
Great friendly service! Rescued me and my two kids who were stranded Sunday night with 4 hrs left to travel. Monday morning they were able to get my van working and ready for travel before 11 am, even though they were busy. Great job guys!
American Automotive Services is a very reliable and honest business with some very knowledgeable mechanics. I have taken my cars here several times over the last 8 years and I have always been satisfied. Highly recommended!
Am very pleased with the service I received.I had a diagnostic performed at two places prior to coming to your business and I pretty much threw my money away to them.Your service experts got to the root of the problem with my vehicle.My truck has restored power now and is not stalling out.I still notice that it is ideling rough and has a miss.Am wondering if you could do a more thorough job of cleaning the Throttle Body Ports or if there is still an electrical issue,or moreover if it is just tired due to having 135,000 miles on it.Regardless, you guys have all my business now,hands down.
Great job faster and employees their nice, kind,etc.
Needed to get my brake pads and front rotors replaced. Although they were not the cheapest in town. The quality of work and the parts they used were the top of the line. To top it off, they had my car done in under an hour. Super professional and nice place. Would highly recommend!!
I learned of American Auto through my sister. I refer everyone I know to them, they work hard to help get you back on the road. For someone who lives paycheck to paycheck, they also understand not everyone has a couple of $$ to put towards a large repair. Thank you for working with me, and no I dont tell anyone else. That is your business to decide. i have issues they will work it correct (this happened only once and very minor). :)
I definitely recommend this place and plan on taking my car here regularly. The staff is very knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. Their prices are excellent and competitive. I took my car in because I probably needed new break pads. They did a very thorough inspection and actually took the time to show me that I still have a sufficient amount of break padding left. Most places in town would have told you they were bad in addition to cramming other services down your throat. This is NOT the case here, you are treated with respect and your vehicle gets extraordinary service. I think its worth mentioning this place is very female friendly in respect to NOT taking advantage of you. I have been to soooo many places where getting your car worked on is an absolute nightmare because they think a female will be gullible and easy to push unnecessary services on. Again, Not the case here!! Much MUCH better than the dealership and other places in Lafayette!!!!! I no longer have to stress out for car related issues!!!
Top notch service...these mechanics know their stuff!!!
Great family owned business. Have been using them since 2015 and they have done my family right every time. I highly recommend this shop for any repairs. Good prices, great service and done right.
My daughter is a student at Purdue and her alternator started to fail. Since Were 2 1/2 hours away, I looked up a few shops with good reviews and requested quotes from three of them. AAS came back with the best quote and my daughter said they got her in right away and were nice to work with and had a nice waiting area.
Great place to to take your vehicle for repairs. Straight up and knowledgeable owner. If something isnt right, hell work until it is.
You can hardly find many honest mechanics today, but Ive found American Automotive Services highly reliable so far. Ive done many works with them on my 10 yrs old car. The first time I came here just for a second opinion but then I basically stick with this shop unless the job is simple enough to be done by myself at my garage. I also like the philosophy of the shop owner, they are very traditional and honest in a word, wont charge you with unnecessary work and blow smoke like some other shops in the town will.
They are good people and great work
Main tech is a douch and is disrespectful.
Fast, friendly and helpful!!! This family run business treated us right!Knowing we were from out of town, and had no where else to turn, we could have been taken to the cleaners. Instead, they turned on the hospitality and helped us out in a bad situation. Thank you for being there, and caring as much as you do.If you need your car fixed, they are all they advertise and more!!!!
Very knowledgeable staff.
This is my go-to for my car repair. They do a great job.
Great service, reasonable prices, fantastic people! Very efficient and easy to work with! Thanks to all of you at American Automotive Services! I highly recommend this business for your vehicle repairs.
These folks always treat me like family! I always know when my van is in their care, that I have nothing to worry about. All services were performed as expected and they were finished even earlier than I thought they would be. They are always friendly and helpful when answering my questions.
I always receive high quality service when I take my vehicles in to AA Services. They are definitely customer driven and as fair and honest as they come!! I do not ever consider going elsewhere and I will always highly recommend them to anyone!
Ben and all the other guys are FANTASTIC!!! Always kind and pleasent.
Best shop in town for exhaust work.
This place is a joke. Told us a price and tried to raise the price Took the vehicle in on a Tuesday and didnt get it back until Friday Told then could pay it Friday but give us the run around all week I will never take any of my vehicles to this place What a total joke and rude to my wife. Stay clear of this place
I have been going to this business for over 10yrs. Family members also. Always trustworthy and will show you the problem before any repairs. Family owned.
Have been bringing my vehicles here for 13 years now. Theyre reliable and trustworthy people. Cant say enough good things about American Automotive Services.
Do good work, are pretty honest and helpful. Good guys to work with. Didnt even charge me for some little stuff that took 5 minutes
Tried all the others. Been going to AA for over a decade. They know what their doing and pricing is good.
Great service!! They inspected a car I was buying, and they did the service so quick! Also, they didnt charge me a penny! Thanks a lot
Best Brake shop in town. I may be biased though as they are family here. Literally, but still the best automotive service Ive ever had.
Best Auto store. Very clean and caring. Inexpensive. Fair.
They offer great service and I have never even questioned anything theyve done
Honest professional service in a field where it can be hard to find a shop that impresses you.
Great service experience. Beats the lack luster and uncaring experience at Bob Rohrman Toyota down the street. Glad I found you guys. Thanks
Had our rotors replaced several months ago. Yesterday the rear wheel started smoking. Called Ben and he told me to bring it right in. They gave 100% guarantee on certain services and 12 month guarantee on others. He replaced everything under the warranty and I had my car back within 24 hours.
Helped us out super quickly and efficiently.
If you want ripped off and the worst repensitaion of a auto shop then go here.. They stole parts of my car and now cant find them. My seats and door are all covered with grease. my car runs very bad now and it ran like a top when I took it in..poor mgr. The worst please to go
This review will sound bad at first but just you wait and read the whole thing.So I needed brake work done on my 2002 Pontiac Sunfire. I had taken my vehicle to AAS before and they seemed to have done great work for me. My breaks were repaired and I got back on the road. Unfortunately, I had to taken my car back to them 4 times because not only was it hard to adjust the brakes correctly for them but the brakes themself were just no good. I was getting very upset having to bring my car back in 4 times, but.....heres were the customer satisfaction comes in....they not only replaced my brakes with all new stuff...again...but were so nice to help me out with a few other problems I was experiencing....FOR FREE to show there apologies for it taking so many times to get right! It was so nice to see that they would go above and beyond like that just to say that they were sorry I had a bad experience.Not only do my brakes work 100% fine to this day, 12/16/2014 and I had the work done about 2 months ago, but they replace my brake lights light bulb holders because they werent working properly and they replaced my turn signal latch to the steering wheel(because it broke off) and all FOR FREE! That showed me a great priority for them in customer satisfaction and I was, still am, satisfied. I recommend them and believe they are not only trustworthy with vehicle repairs needed but a great staff that cares about you.
Down home customer service!
Good honest place to get your vehicle worked on.
Really great customer service
We were glad to find this place for our SUV which died in our driveway. They found the problems right away and the work was completed by the next afternoon.
Great service and good people
Good people, good prices, highly recommend...
Great auto repair shop
Got my oil changed, they replaced the fuel filter and replaced the headlight bulb that went out
Good service.
