Well, after being shocked that a shop in Stafford flunked my car on Dec 30th, and only offered a $900 solution, I was forced to undertake a difficult journey to find a shop that would address the problem directly. This means not selling me a new Catalytic converter, etc. After giving a shop near me 10 days to offer some solution, I gave up and searched in F'burg. 22 miles away. Thank goodness I did. I was referred by another shop to Affordable and they understood my situation. At least Matthew did. Well, I now have a go to shop. Thanks to all.

BE WARE OF THIS PLACE. My 20 year old daughter took her car there for a few minor things she wanted to have them check out and get an estimate for repair cost: left head light not working, squeaking brakes and one of the wiper washers wasn't spraying. They gave her the following charges for providing a diagnosis, not a repair, just the diagnosis: Diagnose lighting concern: 187.16, Brake system check: 65.00 and Diagnose wiper washer spray concern: 143.07 for a grand total of 423.86.
We took her car to Auto zone, bought a new light for 29.99, they installed it for her. Thanks Auto zone. We then asked Meineke to look at her brake pads for FREE, which were fine by the way. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!

After bringing my vehicle to be diagnosed be a technician I was told the cost of my repairs would be about 30% higher than two other shops in the area that gave me a quote on similar work. After I asked why the price was so high they simply told me that's the standard price. After getting my vehicle back and paying 1800$ for a new suspension, my car didn't perform any better. The work performed on my car had no bearing on the cars performance, essentially wasting my time and money. I would highly recommend not going here, but if you have to it is a good idea to strong arm these guys, as that seems to be the only way they'll listen to you.

I would recommend Affordable Automotive Repair to anyone in need of car services. From start to finish, the customer service was excellent and genuine. James provided in detail the issues with my car and what was causing them. I was left with no questions at pick up and drove away knowing my car was in good hands. Can't say enough good things about Affordable Automotive Repair!
