Description of Work: They have given honest and thorough recommendations on used cars we contemplated purchasing. The replacement parts are top quality unlike some that came on the car. They hold up. We've gotten much better tires at the same price as discount tire places. You'll be pleased with their work.

My air conditioning works. They were competitive with the other prices I had. We're real pleased with them. They fix the problem and they're easy to get to.
Description of Work: My daughter and I go to First Stop Auto Care for auto service. The last time they did anything was when I went in when my air conditioning wasn't working. They had to put in a new compressor.

We have owned this 2000 Jeep since 2001 and, with 100K miles, it is still in "like new" condition. All of the routine maintenance I have done myself (except for tires -for which I have always relied on Ken Towery). On the 2-3 odd occasions where I needed professional service (out of warranty), I have always taken this Jeep to 1st Stop Auto on Delzan Place and I have never been disappointed. My recent visit was typical. The jeep needed to have the fluids changed in the transmission and the transfer case. The Jeep Service Manual (which I bought right after buying the Jeep) is very specific about how this should be done, that the filter and gasket be replaced and even specifies the type of fluid to be used in each. Due to a recent injury, I was not able to do this service myself so I called both of the local Dealers. Not only were they difficult to get an appointment with, they were VERY Expensive for this simple service (almost double what others quoted me). I called 1st Stop but they were booked solid for a week so I checked Angie's List. I called four places who gave me a quote over the phone (plus another who would not give a quote until I brought the Jeep in for an inspection -not free). Not one of them would guarantee me that they would use genuine Chrysler/Jeep filter, gasket and fluids. I called 1st Stop back said I would take whatever appointment time they had. Ed Hacker and Keith Brown are always great to work with and they managed to work me in sooner than first expected (it's a small job compared to most of their work). They offered to drive me home after dropping the Jeep off but my wife needed to do some "shopping" so I accompanied her. Later that day, right on schedule, the job was completed to my satisfaction, the price was right, they used Genuine Chrysler products as requested -and they even fixed a little problem with the emergency brake (at no additional charge).

Most mechanics seem to overcharge and they seem to be beyond honest. I would use them in the future.

They keep their shop too clean, their mechanics don't get dirty and they over charge. When you go to a garage which is cleaner than your home then they are not doing any work there. They charged me for a problem that I had to take to another garage and fix two months later. They could improve by being more honest. They are glad to take your money. The guys at the counter are actually nice and I don't know if it is their doing or not.
Description of Work: I used 1st Stop Auto Care Center for auto service about a year ago.

Stated that I came to them for Angie's List. Looked at brakes estimated showed the issues estimated again agreed price was same- no recalls with additional price time was a little longer, because of reusing parts to keep cost down. this was Oked by self Done
Description of Work: Brake was not working on one side while the other was over worked. repaired and showed where each cost item was and then took a discount to help me with my situation of no job currently.

I had to have my primary O2 sensor replaced. It took me a while to find the place because the address on Angie's list was wrong when I was looking. I informed 1st stop of this and he said he'd try to update it. Make sure you get the address before you go. They have replaced it and the car is working great now. I don't have any real complaints. The service was great and they seemed to know what they were talking about. They did charge to run code to see what the check engine light was about.
Description of Work: The people here are very nice and professional. They treat you with respect and work with you to find the cheapest selection. They only use factory parts, which they say they do at a loss, but from my experience it seemed they just passed that extra costs on. However, it was a good price for the work done. I'll definitely go back here.

Dropped the car off at night using their key drop box. They had the car fixed the next day and then called me, so I picked it up. They accepted a coupon from their website without any trouble, and the entire process was easy and painless. The price isn't the lowest but they've done good work and I have recommended them with great success to others. The only snag in the whole process was that the Pimlico location had closed down, and there was nothing to indicate this on their website or the internet. So that cost me a wasted trip, and I took it to the Delzan location. Everything else has been great.
Description of Work: They fixed an oxygen sensor and some standard maintenance.

I like the fact that they do not do unnecessary work on your vehicle. I am very happy with them. I bought tires through them one time and they were also very good. I did have something wrong another time, I can't remember what it was, but, they fixed it. It is not very easy to find them. There is a shopping center there and they kind of look like another little store front. I have just been pleased with them al the way around.
Description of Work: I had all the tires, fluids, belts and everything checked on my 1999 Toyota Seona by 1st Stop Auto Care. They also provided an oil change for me.
