If you want a no nonsense repair shop that offers quality parts at a great price this is the place to go. Charlie goes above and beyond for his customers even when he is super busy he still takes time to talk and address any concerns. I highly recommend!
When Charlie tells me something on my car needs work, I believe him completely. You can rely on him *never* trying to upsell you work you probably don't need just because it's a slow season or you don't know a lot about cars or you walked in without a husband/brother/bf. He's fantastic about not throwing jargon at you OR talking down to you when he is explains a car diagnosis and risks/benefits of driving it versus paying for a repair. If it takes his team less than the book time, he'll charge only the time it takes. I've saved hundreds of dollars taking my car to Charlie and his crew. I know because I had it quoted elsewhere! If my 10-year-old car is going through something dire, he's found a way to work me in even though he (understandably) often books a ways out. All the above is the best you can ask for in a shop, but especially as a woman, it can be really hard to find. Thanks, Global Auto team!!!
I don't think I can do Charlie & his team at Global Automotive justice with a simple review. To say that he and his team go above and beyond is putting it mildly. He has taken care of my daughter's car when she was in a position that didn't allow any wiggle room and getting to where she needed to be (military frowns upon not being where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there.
Charlie continues to be a resource for her thousands of miles away, when she has a car issue.
Truthfully, I would buy a European vehicle simply to have Charlie be my mechanic.
I had an outstanding experience getting my oil changed at Global Automotive. Charlie, the owner, and his team were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I was a bit nervous about finding a trustworthy mechanic for my Mini Cooper, but they completely exceeded my expectations. They had the parts on hand, got the job done efficiently, and their customer service was top-notch from start to finish. It’s such a relief to find a shop that truly knows what they’re doing and treats you with care. Highly recommend!
Amazing, honest service at a fair price!
Charlie is hands down the best mechanic I've worked with. He is communicative, kind, and extremely transparent. Can't recommend him enough. We took our Audi Q5 and he fixed it up perfectly!
Charlie is the best, period. Fair, considerate and honest. Integrity is fewer and far between these days, but Global Automotive prides themselves on doing the right thing.
Much love.
Charlie was amazing to work with. I felt safe in that he would be honest and not take advantage of me. My car went in for an oil change and ended up needing a brake job. Even though he was swamped with post vacation catchup, he fit in the extra work and got it done same day. It's been a bit tricky to find a mechanic for my VW diesel car so I'm thrilled with the services and location of the shop. It was a 10/10 experience.
As a new resident of the Corvallis area, I was seeking a reputable auto service company. I received several references and Global Auto was a clear candidate. I had my first service done there and was very pleased with the quality of the work, the timeliness and the integrity of the owner. I will be a regular there for all my automotive needs.
Shop went above and beyond to take care of my car and get it back to me in less than 24 hours. I would recommend this shop to anybody in the area. They are honest, masters of their craft, and care about the customer. I wish I had better words to describe how grateful I am, but I will certainly be back!
They are so kind and doing anything your car need. They helped me about one hour and i paid not much. Thanks for your all effort. This is the PLACE to get your car checked and repaired in Oregon... Especially for Charlie, is honest and friendly. He values his costumers. Please accept all my appreciation...
I’m telling you THIS is the PLACE to get your car sorted! Charlie the owner is super acknowledging all the details about cars, he changed my GT3 belt within hour and only charged me 1/10 what Porsche dealership will charge me. The job just done right! If u have any problems just let him know, best customer service In the area!
Charlie worked on my Audi Q7 to fix some cosmetic issues prior to me selling it. He found cost effective parts (I know, "For an Audi!?"), and offered to have me purchase them to avoid markup. He then did the repairs, which required some craftsmanship to repair some broken parts not clearly evident until he crawled under the dash. The repair was clean, robust, on time and on budget and he was texting me throughout the process never leaving me wondering about status. True professional and very customer service oriented.
They are lifesavers here. My brakes needed to be replaced asap and I didnt realize the severity of my brakes since I’m clueless about that kind of thing. Charlie got my brakes ordered and done in less than 24 hours and charged me half of what the big corporation services quoted me. They even drove me home so I could leave my car on the lot and had the car ready before I was even ready for work in the morning. I don’t normally write reviews but I cannot thank these guys enough for their work.
My daughter's VW beetle's hood would not open. They took the car in shortly after I arrived and in less than an hour I was on my way. Their rates were very reasonable.
As I waited for my car, I noticed the owner went out of his way with customers. I mentioned it and he said he and his wife have lived in Philomath their entire lives and you have to treat the people you live with right.
I recommend Global Automotive Repair for your automotive repair needs.
Range Rover Evoque leaking antifreeze.
- Great service and attention to Detail. Charlie made the entire process comfortable and communicated the necessary information and was able to get the job done timely. He was kind enough to work me into his busy schedule. Found the leak and replaced the parts necessary.
Definitely recommend!
Charlie is such a genuine and honest man, and always gives me an honest price. He is sure to answer any question I have in a way that's easy to understand. These qualities are often difficult to find in auto shops, but I really trust Charlie with my car.
Charlie and his guys at global are incredible. In an industry that is so easily manipulated by people who take advantage of people’s lack of education on car parts and costs, Charlie stands head and shoulders above many mechanics in both integrity and quality of work. His commitment to honest business is crucial to corvallis and surrounding areas. If you have a German made car in need of repair, there is no other shop in town that will compete in quality and honesty of service, at the price point global is at. Cannot say enough how grateful I am for this company being in my community.
Just got my car back after Charlie did a Head Gasket replacement on my 2007 Subaru Outback. It took a little longer than expected due to the machine shop taking longer to get the parts back to him but he was transparent about it the whole process, giving me daily updates on where he was on the work and his next steps. This was a big job and Charlie got it done well and for a very reasonable price! I typically do my own work on my car but if I ever need a big job done by a professional again I'll be back to get the work done here!
Charlie is amazing! He knows everything there is to know about german cars. He prices honestly and fairly. He walks you thru what was wrong rather than just charging you without explanation. He has helped me more times than I can count with knowledge and service I haven't received anywhere else. If you need a good mechanic, look no further.
Charlie has one of the most honest and knowledgeable Euro car shops in the area. After taking my Mini to a shop out of town for a misfire issue and having them quote me $7k for repairs completely unrelated, I took it to Charlie and haven’t looked back. Charlie has been nothing but helpful and truly cares about helping rather than making a quick buck. I plan to have my car serviced at Global Auto for the entirety that I own it (and future Euro cars should I own more). Can’t recommend Charlie and his team enough!
Charlie is without a doubt the most genuine mechanic ever. What I love about him is that he is honest with his pricing and everything that is wrong with the car. Honestly, I wouldnt waste my time elsewhere other than going to Global Automotive. Superb professionalism!
Charlie is AMAZING. I highly, highly recommend taking your car to Global Auto. He is so kind and the work is extremely well priced! The work is done right and Charlie goes above and beyond expectations. I am so glad I have him to work on my 2000’s BMW. I’ve been going to Charlie for a couple years now and I have nothing negative to say. An honest, stand up guy that will show and explain exactly what’s going on with your car - no pressure, no tricks. So glad I found this place.
If you own a German car this is the only place to go. Charlie is awesome, has great prices, and does excellent work. Always goes above and beyond to explain what he does and never recommends or pushes for unnecessary services. He’s extremely knowledgeable and a super nice guy to boot! I won’t take my car anywhere else.
Charlie and Global Auto is amazing. While my daughter was in school, Charlie serviced her car (a really old BWM). While others in town messed up the cooling system, Charlie was able to truly fix it, was more the fair on pricing, and is incredibly trust worthy. Since then, he continues to service our cars, even though I live an hour away. It is more than worth the trip!
I have searched for a repair shop for my cars & trucks for several years after deciding to not do my own repairs; I have been disappointed in the quality of service that I have tried before today. Based on recommendations from several friends, I tried Global for a repair on my Toyota's AC system and though they were down one mechanic unexpectedly today, repaired the vehicle as scheduled.
They are friendly, local, capable and people of integrity; I learned that Charlie, the owner, is a grandson of a great man and friend so he comes by the integrity naturally, a family trait.
I have a major repair in the near future and will definitely depend on Global again; this place is a breath of fresh air. I can recommend them without reservation.
Global has been servicing my two BMW's for a couple of years. One of them, I bought 20 years ago and it has been to several dealerships and numerous repair shops over those years. In all that time I have never experienced the quality of service I get from Global. Charlie Haley is the most knowledgeable mechanic I have ever met. He takes the time to explain the repairs without the usual BS that puts you in a panic. He is very honest, does not do more repairs than necessary,and charges a reasonable price. He saved me from getting ripped off today when I had my newer BMW at a body shop to fix a slow window. I was alarmed when they called me to jack up the original repair estimate from $300 to $650. I called Charlie and he thought it didn't sound right. I immediately stopped the repair before the new parts were put in and took it to Charlie. He found that the extra they tried to add to the repair was bogus and he did the repair for less than $300. It is wonderful to have a great repair shop I can trust!
