It went very well. They could have said that they would replace everything. Instead, they found the broken bracket and repaired it rather than replaced it. They can handle large business and they are very conscientious. I like them.
Description of Work: I used R & S Auto for an exhaust repair.

They went out of their way to fix the car so we could get out of town the next morning.
Description of Work: We had just purchased a used SUV. My son was on his way home from Rosedale when the car died on Fairview Ave. He called and requested a tow. They were there in 10 minutes. My son told the man who picked him up that we were leaving for Florida the next morning in the car. It was then 3:15 and they closed at 5:00. The man said they did repairs and would be happy to look at it. They thought it was a fuel pump. They did check out the car, found the problem, fixed it and we had the car back at 5:00 PM

I showed up early for the appointment by about 20 minutes, hoping to get to work earlier, and R & S accommodated me by starting early. They finished the job quickly, and I was earlier for work than I thought I would be. It was -15 degrees F outside. My car was kept clean and the interior did not smell like oil. Also they did not try to upsell anything like the chain stores do. $37 is actually a very reasonable price for an oil change, in my opinion at least. At most chains it ends up over $45 with the fees and taxes, and they harass you to fix little things that you could do yourself for a fraction of the price. I only gave R & S a "B" in this category because I have a personal mechanic who will do it for $25, but he has become busy lately and I would expect his price to rise. All in all a very positive first impression of R & S.
Description of Work: R & S changed the oil on my wife's car, a 2009 Sonata.

I was happy with them. They did a good job as far as I know. They took care of what needed to be taken care of. They were prompt and they have a car that they let you use when they have your car. I would probably keep taking our two vehicles there in the future.

They are great! They try to have the option available to lend you a car while your car is being fixed. They also try to work with you on giving you ride if you need it. My husband knows a lot about cars and is very satisfied with their service. We will continue to go there in the future and would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: My husband and I have been going there for several years now. We go there for tire changes, oil changes, small mechanical repairs, older car parts, and major repairs as well.

We have been using them for about 20 years. They do excellent work and are very honest about pricing. They will call you if they have a problem and are very good at diagnostic work. Their prices are fair, especially compared to the dealership. They have a good crew of mechanics. They also are very helpful. I will continue to use their services and have already recommended them to others.
