Extremely nice, helpful, and knowledgeable!!! Would go back if anything ever happened with my car again, and recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to work on theirs!!
Top notch. Were able to diagnose the issue, and complete the repair in record time. Didn’t “find” 50 other things wrong with the car like a lot of other local shops would/have. In and out…and right on budget.
I’m new to the area and was looking for a shop that was A: Clean B: Friendly and C: didn’t balk at an import. These guys checked all three boxes. Really quite pleased with the work.
If ever there was a place that came back from a bad first impression, AR Auto did. I've been trying to find someone local to work on my Jaguar that was leaking coolant, and after calling several shops, this place had no problem.
We showed up right before 8am and no one was there. After waiting about 5 minutes, we were about to leave. I tried calling and no answer. I walked back up to the front door and they were unlocking the doors. This was the bad first impression, but everything was uphill from here.
They had my car diagnosed by 11am with a fair quote. By 1pm I was picking my car up with no more leak.
I will definitely be back.
Great group of people here. I went to another shop who told me I'd need a new transmission without even looking at my car and that shop quoted me $6k.
Took it to these guys for a second look, they said it wasn't even a transmission problem in the first place. They fixed what /actually/ needed to be fixed and saved me about $4500 with the student discount.
They were also highly communicative and respectful throughout the whole process, explaining what needed to happen without being condescending and asking for permission before fixing anything. When I got my car back, it was washed and the inside was fully cleaned.
Strongly recommend these folks!
I absolutely love it here! They were able to fix everything wrong with my husband’s old pickup truck. And they were nice, professional and very reasonable. I highly recommend this company 10/10
Best mechanic in town!!! I am a paraprofessional in the school system and I am on a very tight budget. My Nissan’s check engine light came on yesterday and per the recommendation of Auto Zone, I took my car in. They were incredibly helpful and honest with me and I was able to get my car fixed within an hour. It is run by a husband and wife team. The husband (Angel) runs the car shop and the wife runs a dog grooming business in the same building. I can’t wait to support these great people and bring my dog to get groomed.
I was a first time customer and if I need my car worked on I will definitely use AR automotive , with no hesitation.
I called on a Friday , 3 hours before they closed til Monday ... and they had my car ready on Saturday by 5 !! Angel was very nice & honest about what was wrong & not wrong with my air , and I felt I got a great price .
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My son is in school at U of A and recently had issues with his Toyota, on the recomendation from one of his friends, I Called AR Automotive. Angel and his team went to my son's apartment, towed his vehicle to the shop and quickly diagnosed the problem. Repairs were made and I was truly "pleasntly surprised" with what he charged. Great customer service, kept me in the loop the whole time. Hopefully he will not need them again, but if he has car problems again, I know who my first will be to! Thank you AR Automotive!
These guys saved me.
I was visiting Tuscaloosa for the weekend and my spark plugs started to go bad. My truck was in no condition to drive back 200 miles home, but it was a weekend, and nobody was open to see it. I called around, and nobody answered but AR. They weren't open, but for some reason I called anyways. The owner picked up, and instead of telling me he was closed, he asked me about my car. He told me he could get it fixed by the end of the day, and he did.
Angel at AR saved me! I don't think I would have been able to get back home for work the next day if it weren't for him.
This was my first time having to get my car serviced and it was nothing like the usual horror stories that most people have. Took my car in and got it back the same day. Was not pressured to get anything changed that I didn’t find necessary. Angel explained every single thing itemized on the quoted receipt. He also answered all of my other random questions about my “new” vehicle. Yeah, I will not be going anywhere else to get this burdening hunk of metal serviced. Also, the prices were the most reasonable out of four other garages I called in the Northport area, considering I got my car back the exact same day. They also offer the cheapest diagnosis in the area, in case you just want to find the actual problem and not truly get it fixed that day.
Quick, reliable, and high quality service
I dropped off my Mercedes S class without having an appointment scheduled. They diagnosed the issue, ordered the part, and fixed my car in a day. I have tried other places in Tuscaloosa to work on my Mercedes but, none of them are quick and reliable like AR Automotive.
I can't say enough how wonderful this shop was. I got towed into town in the middle of a road trip the week before a holiday. All other shops in town were booked through the middle of next week and thank goodness for Angel and this shop. They got me turned around in 24 hours and back on the road. Great customer service, Angel is a gem. I really can't recommend their work and service enough. Thank you for saving my July 4th weekend plans and making a stressful situation much more manageable. Wish I could make you my permanent shop!
I cannot give this place a high enough rating. Angel is a consummate professional who is a straight shooter, open and honest with what's going on with your vehicle. He specializes in foreign cars, but they are on it!
Excellent prices, excellent work.
Get your vehicle inspected for issues here.
Highly recommend!! Staff very knowledgeable and was very informative of what was being done to my car all while showing me during maintenance services. I don’t plan to ever take my car back to the dealership after coming to AR Automotive. Trust me, this is the place to bring your car for its maintenance needs!
I use my car for work and had an emergency just a couple hours before the closing time of most any repair shop. AR fit me in near the end of their day, stayed after close to fix my car (the only shop out of the 10+ that I called willing to do so), and changed my oil as well. Angel was very pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Overall, a wonderful experience for a less than wonderful situation. Would recommend AR Automotive to anyone.
I received great same day service. I needed a new starter and these guys installed it within an hour and a half. I was shocked that the part was already in stock! The price was very reasonable and I will definitely comeback for all my future work.
I stopped by Auto Tech & Tires earlier today. I was out on a business trip and needed a quick oil change. The owner was very attentive and respectful. My oil was changed in less than 15 minutes. No up charge or up sell. Wonderful customer service and they make you feel at home and cared for. I highly recommend Auto Tech & Tires to anyone in the Tuscaloosa or Northport Area.
First time visiting Auto Tech and Tire and I must say, Nick was very friendly, nice and made me feel welcomed. The service was super fast and he appreciated me for coming to get my car serviced. The building was very clean there as well. I will definitely be coming back to get my vehicles serviced there.
I call Auto and Tires to see was they available to an oil change on a late Friday evening. Nick told me to bring my vehicle in and they will get me taken care of. Upon arrival i was greeted with great customer service, the area was very neat and clean. The service was real fast and quick. So if anyone want great customer service, fast service and very nice staff. Auto Tech and Tires should be your 1st stop no more sitting in Walmart 2 hours waiting on an oil change. Last but least they are very affordable. Thanks auto tech and tires for your great customer service, i will be back again.
Nick and mechanics at Auto Tech & Tires really do put customer service at the leading drive for their company. They provide the highest level of quality for their customers over the quantity, and for great rates! This was my first time bringing my G35 to them and they now have a returning customer for any maintenance or mechanical needs! Thank you guys for your service and professionalism.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10!!! The owner is super nice and respectful! I had to pick my friend up from here & he was very clear and educated both of us on what was wrong with her car. He took the time to come and meet me, he waited with my friend past business hours until she was safely in my car. This business is honestly so great & even better service! I definitely will be taking my car here in the future.
I would highly recommend anyone to come here, but especially students who don’t know much about their cars. If you hear any single problem, come in before it gets worse. They treat you so wonderfully and explain every step of the process! They offer a great student discount for parts and oil changes. They take WONDERFUL CARE OF YOU!!!!!! They really care about your safety on the road vs making the most money!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for students (discounts) and non students! My first time here and will always come back!! They showed/walked me through EVERYTHING that needed to be fixed on my car. Super nice with positive attitudes.
I am a student at UA who was having some troubles with the brakes on my car. After going to the dealership and waiting over two hours for them, they wanted to charge a ridiculous amount to solve what they said were the problems. I decided to research other mechanics in the area and found Auto Tech and Tires. They had great reviews and were conveniently near by. I came in and they did an inspection on my car, after just 15 minutes they were able to determine what was wrong with it. They had the brakes working again the next day. Unlike the dealership, they actually diagnosed the problem correctly and were able to solve it for a fraction of the price. Overall a great place to take your car if you ever have any issues, especially for students.
I was impressed by the great quality of the service. My car is a 1998 Buick LaSabre and after the repairing provided by this shop, itnow runs really smoothly. Additionally, the car was washed and cleaned up so well that it looks like new. I appreciate the manager who also took the time to show me in detail the work that was done to my car. Great car service and amazing customer service.
Had my 2006 Nissan Titan towed to them based on my truck would not start after multiple attempts to jump it off. Nick and his staff could’ve easily advised me on a starter or battery for my truck but he charged my battery and cleaned terminals. I will always come here based on their honesty!
