Friedman Automotive is hands down the best experience I have had with car repair or purchasing. As long as the lights are on they have me and my family's business and recommendation. Dale and staff are honest, straightforward, patient, and knowledgeable. An all around pleasure to work with. I recommend Friedman Automotive - 10/10

My boyfriend has had good experiences with Friedman in the past, so I decided to give them a try rather than driving to my usual dealership mechanic a couple of towns over. I was able to drop off my car the same day I called in, which was convenient. After assessing my car, they called me with a detailed (and accurate) estimate of costs before starting work, so there were no surprises. They were respectful and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need, which I very much appreciated. Overall I was pleased with the work done, and will definitely return for future maintenance.

Doug personally took real good care of my Dad's 2003 Honda Pilot, which needed some front end body repair, and made it look brand new. He was very patient with our requests and said he would do his best to fix up some other scratches around the sides and back as well. Doug went above and beyond what he said he would do and kept the cost at his original quote. Great service, excellent work and an honest, fair price.

In my quest to find a reliable, affordable, and dependable automotive shop, I prayed in 2018. I prayed that God would protect me from a shop that would overcharge and under perform the maintenance on my car because I was woman. I asked God to direct me to a person and place that would treat me like their own family. After searching online and determining that Friedman Automotive was fairly close to home, I called to speak with a mechanic.
I spoke to Dale and expressed my situation. I explained the repairs needed and that I did not want to be swindled. After laughing a bit, Dale explained he understood and spoke of his family. He stated that he would not swindled me, as he would not want that done to his wife and daughter. I knew then, God heard my prayer. This was 2018. Friedman Auto and its employees ARE a huge blessing to me and my family.
Their work is reliable and guaranteed. They provide rentals for those that need transportation during repairs. Their prices are average for the market. They resolve concerns immediately. They are responsive. THEY CARE. #1 Service All Around. Millie Tate

A friend referred me to Dale and he has come through in a pinch several times now. The work is excellent, thorough, fast, and great quality. Everyone that I have met there is friendly and the service is fantastic. We will be taking both of our cars here from now on. It's hard to find automotive service that you can trust and I am grateful to have found Friedman Automotive.

Spent thousands with Dale over the last 2 years and found out when I took to a different mechanic he lied to me about every "repair"he did. Took my truck in for a front end noise gave him over 1k for ball joints and it was the wheel bearing the whole time he tried to say it was some pin. Never again will I trust this dude or anyone working for him since they did an $80 look over on my truck and said nothing else was wrong. Idk maybe because I'm a female desperate to keep my kids safe in our vehicle he saw an opportunity to make a quick buck

We have used their services for all of our daily use vehicles and our Corvette for years and we have never been disappointed. Excellent, honest, and reliable work at a reasonable cost. It doesn't get any better than that! Being able to have a free loaner car during times when they were doing major repairs was a huge plus. Worth every penny spent!

My mother is a regular customer at Friedman Automotive. She recommend this place for an oil change on my car. I was very pleased with the professional and friendly service. Plus they did not try to upsell me like those other places. I plan to return for further car service needs. Thank you! Service: Oil change

Every time I have an issue with my vehicles, Dale & his team solves every problem. And you can't beat the loaner car system they have too. Thank you Dale & your staff - always a pleasure!

This was the first and last time I use this establishment. I was a walk in insurance claim, guaranteed paycheck and I couldn't be more upset with the work and customer service here. They had my car twice for a total of 6 weeks. I made complaints about the cars driving performance and was told it was due to wear and tear. Got a second opinion and had to pay for another alignment after buying all new tires to eliminate possible causes.
The bumper they put on is popping out on one side, the back window isn't sealed properly, my ceiling in the rear is still hanging down, and the new taillight they put in burnt out a month after being replaced. I was given the run around when trying to get my car back in, waited over two weeks for a response after leaving messages. I had my friend schedule an appointment to have the same work done to his car and they scheduled him an appointment a day later. I call a few hours later for the same thing and they can't get me in.

I requested quotes for a tune up and additional repairs to multiple places, but Friedman gave the most knowledgeable response so I decided to go with them. I'm glad I did! Customer service was great and they even gave me a car to use while it was in the shop! That was so helpful!! I will always take my cars there from now on. Very happy with their work!

Finally, a place where you can take your car for mechanical or body work and feel confident that it's being done correctly. I've been coming here for service for many years and the experience has consistently been good. Also, the location is ideal

Friedman Automotive Services is the most honest Automotive Service around. Greg is very honest and upfront with you. He will not tell you something needs fixed on your vehicle if it doesn't need to be, like other service centers I have been to do. Greg had gone above and beyond helping me with an issue with my vehicle, and even made a follow up call to me asking me how everything was. I would recommend Friedman Automotive Services to anyone.
Andrew Bloom
My whole family has had nothing but great experiences with Friedman Auto. Just had Transmission and A/C service done last month on my Tahoe. Dropped it off on the way to work, they gave me a loaner and I picked it up on the way home. Another nice thing about these guys is when you take you car in they check everything, they told my parents after their oil change service that they would need brakes in the near future. No upselling just good service.

Absolutely the best place to go!!! They upfront and work with you on everything!!! If I could give 100 stars I would!!!

I had my car in for a check engine light that wouldnt go off. They were able to look at it right away for me and then explain to me exactly what the problem was. In the end they took care of me and I will definitely go back again.

Had to get my jeep liberty in at the last minute prior to the holiday weekend. They were able to get my jeep back on the road again prior to our vacation. They also were able to find the noise on my Jeep that nobody else was able to find including the dealer. A++++ service would

I have been taking my vehicles here for years and have never been disappointed. Great service. Great pricing with loaner vehicles if needed. They service everything at one location, from tires, brakes and alignment to my son's transmission. I had my AC serviced last week at the last minute before a trip and waited in their showroom watching TV. Simply the BEST!
Chris Dudley
Had multiple electrical issues to be taken care of. Was referred to Dale and could not be happier with the quality of the work and how quickly it was done. Was given a loaner car and Dale had the work done the same day. He explained exactly what work was done and it cost much less than we anticipated! I would certainly go back the next time I need to have any work done on my cars.
