16 hours from home. 2011 work truck. A part that was listed as "national backorder". My man James not only found my part, but had my truck going 3 days earlier than projected. All this after being ran around by the factory parts dealer for days. I recommend Protime to anyone in need of a real shop with real results. Thanks from Larry York and Hilltop Electric

I brought my car in to be inspected after a check engine code detected a vacuum leak. I was quoted $700+ for the repair. I inquired as to the break down and was told labor was roughly $140 an hour and the part cost was around $300 from the dealership. They said part costs had gone up recently. After my boyfriend, who has extensive car knowledge, looked into my cars issue he found the part on rock auto website for $40 and discovered he can do the job on his own. They were very respectful, kind and thorough but I feel they are a little over priced.

They did a great job communicating with me and in a timely manner. I found their price for the repairs were a little higher than I wanted to pay, though Service: Vehicle Inspection

We have found this to be an efficient, knowledgeable, reliable, dependable, and-well organized business! My wife and I have used this business for seven years. I got excellent service when I started to get air in a tire and found I needed a new one.

Made appointment on Monday for Wednesday, needed inspection oil change and tune up. They didn't touch my car until the afternoon, didn't finish it until after 5. I'm sitting in the waiting room after I get off work, waiting for my vehicle, and I see it leave the garage. I'm thinking the mechanic is taking a test drive so I'm waiting patiently. The shop closes at 5:30, guy behind the counter asks me at 5:25 if I'm waiting for a ride.

I tell him I'm waiting for my car, which he admits he completely forgot about and never called me (I was waiting for a phone call since that's how we'd been corresponding). There's a text message system that wasn't used as well. The prices are also outrageous - almost double other technicians rates and less than half the service. Do not recommend. Update: the steering wasn't fixed and they never spotted the front control arms I need replaced. Another shop I took it to informed me. Worst mechanic I've ever had the misfortune of spending too much money at.

We have been going to protime for many years. Before we purchase a used car for our daughter. We have taken 3 cars for Protime to have all 3 inspected. The last car was a 2010 BMW X3. And with the costvof used cars these days! There are a lot of places that you cannot trust today to take care of you. As a retired U.S. Marine, we value their service!

They are professional and Knowledgeable and provide great customer care. I highly recommend them to my family and friends. Thank you Robin, James and the whole Protime Automotive Team!

Great customer service, communicated the true problem vs what I had been told originally from the dealership. Reasonable time to complete the work and matched dealership on the inspection. Price of parts and completing the job seemed a bit higher than it should have been based on online info., but overall pleased with the entire process and in speaking with manager.

Great place to have services performed. I have my two Honda Pilots serviced here. Their prices are lower than most places for the same work performed. They do great quality work and have very nice people there, especially Robin in the office. Really good people and great place to take your vehicle.

Protime put front brakes on my car in November. They had been making a grinding noise and I took my car in to get it looked at. They discovered that there was a part on the brakes that needed adjusting and took care of it that day w/out charging me. I was impressed that they made it right and were very helpful. Service: Brakes

Major engine issues were confirmed when I had my '02 Ford F150 in their shop. Their mechanical expertise is such that the issues were confirmed quickly and the work was performed to my high expectations. The Protime mechanics have an attention to detail that goes above and beyond what I've normally experienced elsewhere. I bring all 4 of my vehicles here for their service needs and have been extremely satisfied every time. Job well done, Protime Automotive!

My cousin recommended Protime Automotive to me saying it was a very good place to obtain inspections. Well he was sure right! They checked out my car thoroughly and recommended needed work and did a great job. My car drives so much better now. The most positive part of the Automotive Center were the customer service ladies at the front. I had Arielle and she was just great! She explained everything so well and was always so positive. It was a pleasure working with her. I will sure come back here. They are my "go to" car care center now.
