Hard to believe. 11/24/2009

I was having trouble with my shop truck, diesel Ford F450. Ran rough, no power.Took it to a repair shop. After the diagnoses, they called me a told me it needed all eight injectors and turbocharger. The estimate was 4980.00 I declined it and wanted to get a second opinion. I didn't know who to call so I asked my block supplier. He gave me Auto Specialty's phone number and to talk to Greg. I called, we talked, set up an appoinment and I dropped it off. He checked and ran several tests. He called me and told me that it had two defective injectors and possibly a third. gave me the estimate, ordered parts, installed two injectors. Called me and said it runs ok, lets try some injector cleaner and see what happens to the third injector. He added cleaner to the tank, and I paid the bill of $910.77 I ran the truck for a week and it runs like new again. I would reccomend Greg and Auto Specialty to anyone. I really appreciate the honest work especially these days. Paul Jessup Pros: Very upfront and honest more

Thanks for being honest. 5/11/2006

I had a problem with my truck, was reccomended to Auto Specialty by another business.( It had a check engine light on with several codes stored checked at Auto Zone and another business). I was told by other people it needed a couple of sensors and possibly a computer. I made an appoinment with Auto Specialty. I dropped the truck off and they called me a few hours later. They told me they had bad news. An animal of some sort had chewed on the wiring under the hood and that they had to repair it to continue testing. They gave me an estimate up to that point. I authorized the repair. Three hours later, they called me back and told me the truck was finished, was final test driven and good to go with no parts replacement. That is to good to be true. I can't thank them enough. PROS: Honest CONS: None more

really bad attitude to the customers 11/21/2005

We had a GMC SUV with engine problems several months ago. Our car was towed to this shop to repair. We called to ask how much it will be after their diagnostic, their said it may around 400 dollars or so. So then after two weeks, finally they finished the repair, and came a $1000 bill to us. We were stunned, coz we didn't expcet so expensive bill, plus they didn't even call us before they repair to let us know the price. We went to shop and augued with them for about two hours, and the manager was still in a really bad attitude to us. He didn't even admit their false to not calling us to let us know the cost for the repair. Gee..... I was so pissed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Before this issue, they had one another bill around $800 dollars on this SUV's 4 wheel drive system problems. They are really super ripoff. Never repair your car in their shop. PROS: zero CONS: really bad attitude, and bad service at all more
