Only place I'll take my car 12/1/2010

Good: I like the professionalism of the staff. Front to back, this shop cares and it shows. The sales team spent a lot of time answering all of my questions. In fact, the first time I came here about 4 years ago they saved me over $700 because they were able to confirm that work I had recommended from another shop wasn't necessary. That's just it, they are honest and straight forward. I'm not looking for the cheapest place in town because you get what you pay for in those situations.. Bad: The only thing I really didn't care for is the fact that I wasn't made aware up front that loaner cars were available. Instead I ended up taking a courtesy ride back to my office from their shuttle. On most days that would have been fine but I needed transportation when they had my car. This is a very small oversight and it really isn't that big of a deal. I now know what is available and have taken advantage of this benefit many times.. Improvements: Would be great to have a vending machine with snacks. There is great coffee available but no snack food options to compliment it. Again, this is minor but since you asked I believe it may be important enough to note. Also, I like the fact that you wash my car but would appreciate the option of receiving an immediate wash or a voucher for a future wash.. Other: I find it comical how certain people can come on here and think they might draw attention away from Community Auto by leaving reviews that suggest this place is dishonest. While nobody is perfect, I can absolutely assure you that the people at Community Auto are as honest and up front as I've ever experienced. People here should take those obvious attacks exactly for what they are, a ploy to turn you against this shop. I wouldn't be surprised if their competitors are authoring them out of fear.. more

Thanks for the customers! 11/10/2010

I work at a shop outside of GR and thanks to their exorbitantly high prices and dishonest practices we have gotten several new customers as a result. So thanks guys! more

Very dishonest shysters 12/4/2009

f you value your car do not bring it there. These people are very dishonest. They are rude and argumentative. They deny everything. Customer service is dreadful and the owner is a crook. Their mechanics are very smart since they know how to damage your car and then try to cover it up without telling you, so that your car can fall apart a day later. They will patch the damage they caused very well. Damage that other shops can't even comprehend how they did it.They used to have a good reputation but people are catching on to their shady ways. Remember, it only takes one time to break it and run up damages costing 1000's of dollars, especially if your car needs foreign parts that are not easily available. They try to fool you by parking nice cars up front that they own. So if you want your car to be safe and value a reliable transportation, DO NOT GO TO THESE CROOKS!!!!!. I am sorry I ever gave them my business and put my trust in them.? more

Pricey but done right 3/18/2009

A bit expensive but they know what they are doing. They explained everything that was wrong with my brakes and why it would cost what it did. Courteous and timely. I don't know if I would use them for all my car maintenance but when it comes to brakes I trust them. more

Honest Repair Shop 8/28/2005

If you're looking for someone to assess your car and tell you what's wrong without taking you to the cleaners, check out Community Automotive. We've had our 2 cars there for various reasons [brakes, struts, air conditioning ~ 2 old cars & lots of issues] and have been given excellent service each and every time. They also do maintenance work such as oil changes, transmission flushes, etc. We have been extremely pleased with the staff at Community Automotive. We feel we can trust them to do the job & do it right, more
