Electric power steering went out on my F150. Everywhere I took it said it was a dealer only repair, and I avoid the dealerships as much as possible. I called Armstead and they said to bring it in. Not only did they fix it, but they didn't even have it a week before it was fixed. Dealer couldn't even get it in to look at it for a month. They even looked over my truck and recommended other things that needed to be fixed.
They do amazing work and have great customer service at a fair price. Definitely your best alternative to a dealership in the area. I'll be using them for all my future auto repairs that I can't do myself, and taking our company vehicles there as well.

I never even made it to Armstead Automotive because of the high quote I was given. I needed a new timing belt installed on my 2014 Chevy Cruze. I always get their cards in the mail, so I thought I would call them for a quote. I had called 6 shops before them and the quotes ranged from $650 -$752. Armstead quoted me $998! I can see a 20 or 30 dollar difference, but not $300. From now on I will be throwing their cards away.

I made an appointment for an oil change and wanted my tires rotated which I was of course willing to pay for. They constantly send coupons to my home. The one I gave them was for a discounted oil change and a multi point inspection. They did the oil change, totally skipped the multi point inspection with no comments about it, told me my tires were in too bad of shape to rotate & already had four new tires written up for me in case I wanted to spend an extra several hundred dollars. Really? I'm using a coupon to save a few bucks on an oil change. Plus, my tires are fine. Not new but certainly not in need of being completely replaced.
