Comment : My son, a AAA member, brought his 2015 Honda Accord to this shop due to slow starting issues. After performing a diagnostic, they told him the alternator and air conditioning system needed work, among other things. He asked what was absolutely necessary to get the car safely back on the road and was advised to replace the alternator and serpentine belt. He agreed, and they completed the job—charging him $1,200 for parts and labor.

Unfortunately, just two hours after bringing the car home, it wouldn’t start again. He had to have it towed back to the shop, where they quoted an additional $1,400 for more repairs. There was no apology, no explanation for why the issue wasn’t properly resolved the first time, and no offer of any accommodation or accountability.

Extremely disappointed with the service. It felt like a waste of time and money. He ended up taking the car to another local mechanic, who fixed the issue for $600 less. Overall, the experience was frustrating, unprofessional, and poorly communicated.

Comment : Overall nice and will fit you in on short notice. Very busy place. Pricing is high and I'm a AAA member. That's supposed to save money.

Comment : Had previously rated this location very high after a repair. Repair took longer than expected but understandable. The same problem with the vehicle that was allegedly repaired has occurred requiring a tow to another facility. The new facility located the true issue and repaired. I would not recommend this location for repairs and will not be visiting again.

Comment : Short Story: Poor coordination, long delays, and lack of communication. Even with AAA discounts, the cost was high and no support like ride or rental services was offered. The experience was frustrating and unprofessional. We won't be returning. Very Long Story: First Visit (Diagnostic Only): We booked an appointment for 8:30 AM, but the email confirmation showed 12 PM. After chatting with an agent to confirm, we were told 8:30 AM was correct--already a red flag for poor coordination. We understood that diagnostics can take time, but we received no updates the entire day. We had to call them ourselves at 3 PM just to learn that the diagnostic was finished and they were preparing a quote. After waiting another 2 hours, we received a text-only estimate of $3,000. It was unprofessional--no itemized breakdown, no explanation, and no email follow-up. Because of the delay, we couldn't proceed with the repair that weekend. We were charged around $100 for the diagnostic, which we were willing to pay--but it was disappointing because we had planned to get the car repaired with them. According to AAA's promotion, the diagnostic should've been free with a repair, so we didn't expect the charge. That left us a bit upset. Second Visit - Actual Repair: Still, we decided to give AAA another chance. We dropped off the car on Thursday and clearly told them we would pick it up Friday at 9 AM. Even though they said the work would only take "a couple of hours," we gave them the entire day just to be safe and rented a car at our own expense. However, when we arrived at 10 AM on Friday, we were shocked to learn they had just started working on our car--even though we had a confirmed appointment with them. They told us the repair didn't begin until Thursday evening, which they never informed us about. We returned again at 1 PM, only to find the car was still not ready. They said it was out for a test drive that had already lasted over 40 minutes. We had no choice but to wait--and ended up being late for work.

Comment : I have taken two cars here, and they both were returned to me with problems. My latest visit was frustrating. I was told my car would be finished on a Friday, and I did not get it back until Tuesday. I called three times and was put on hold indefinitely, and one of the times I gave a call-back number. They never called me back. Once my car was completed, I picked it up, and the check engine light came on during the drive home. $600 later and my car is not repaired.

Comment : I always do my car maintenance and oil change at this AAA store. It is convenient to make an appointment by calling them. They are professional and the price is reasonable with membership and offers. It usually takes one hour to change the oil and check everything. There are free coffee and WiFi in the waiting area. It is always a good experience.I always do my car maintenance and oil change at this AAA store. It is convenient to make an appointment by calling them.
