Got me in quick, same day service. Car was fixed sooner than expected. Great customer service!
These Guys took care of me after breaking down and did a fast diagnosis. Great place I’ll be visiting again when needed.
Great customer service!
I had a great experience getting my Honda Fit 30,000 mile service and new tires. Communication was quick and clear, staff were friendly, and I felt the cost was reasonable. Thanks for making this normally stressful process very easy!
The fix my brakes and did a great job
They were quick and reliable when I needed to get my tires fixed. Would definitely recommend them.
We took our 2013 Chevy Sonic 1.4L, Turbo, to AOM for an inspection of output shaft seal & oil change. We chose them because we volunteer nearby, and they could work on our car while we volunteer. They provided us with an inspection report that included pictures. After reviewing the report and going over the potential charges, we authorized them to complete the recommended services, which included oil change, new spark plugs, brake fluid flush, fuel injection service, output shaft seal replacement, drain and refill manual transmission fluid and replacing all shocks and strut assemblies and rear springs. This cost $2,818.00. We were in a bit of shock at the price, but that being said, this car has never given us a bit of trouble since buying it new, so we decided this money was well spent. We have had all the manufacturer-recommended maintenance done at the dealer all along. A dealer may have charged as much or more. The services performed by AOM were needed as evidenced by the pictures they took during the inspection and during the repairs themselves. Our car is running like new, and the repairs are guaranteed for 5 years, 50,000 miles NATIONWIDE. So, yes, it was expensive and worth it. We feel we got our money’s worth. Thank you, Ryan and Kevin.
Been going here for years. They’ve kept my old Lexus running like new!
Obtained a replacement wheel for a wheel that was stolen from one of our cars. Service was quick and friendly and provided accurate detailed estimate before the service was rendered. The replacement wheel was an exact match for the stolen one. The car was thirteen years old.
I’ve been going to Art of Maintenance for about a year. It’s a nice clean shop and everyone I have talked to there was great. They seem to be honest – haven’t tried to talk me into anything I didn’t need. I haven’t had anything too major done there – oil change, windshield wiper repair, new brakes. So far so good!
My car was repaired in two days. They were very communicative and courteous. I’m very pleased.
Great service always
