Always fair and honest. Tim really cares about doing what is right for the customer and I will recommend this repair shop to anyone. Just know he usually has a wait time. I had to wait 5 days for my last service, but I didn't mind because I wanted an honest opinion on what my car needed.

The only place that has and will ever touch my vehicle. Tim (I think is his name, that answers the phone) is very polite and respectful! They are very affordable and get the job done right. My SUV was taken in and was ready a day and a half later, here recently I had my SUV towed in on a Thursday around 2pm and it was ready by 10 the next morning. 1000% recommend!

They are the only mechanic I trust whenever there is an issue with my car, or if I'm just needing routine service. I appreciate that Tim will run everything by me and inform me on whatever the issues are with my car before he does any work and will only work on what I request to have fixed. I've never once got a "snake" vibe from him like most mechanics give off. Overall it's a great place for any repairs or service you need, and in my opinion they are a very honest business.

Just an absolutely wonderful experience with Tim and his folks at Affordable Auto. I had a situation arise where my Volvo couldn’t be fixed at another location. He truly came to my rescue and got me back on the road. I would not pay any attention to a negative review as that is completely opposite of how these folks perform. Love Tim and his family! Blessings!

After driving from MA, I had a check engine light. I am happy to have found Affordable Auto. They diagnosed the issue and worked hard to both fix the problem and find the hard to get parts needed. Tim even looked at old engines for parts. Tim was very responsive via phone and email and kept me up to date on the progress. He also showed me the replaced parts and explained their function. I felt very well taken care of by affordable auto.

I have used Affordable Auto repair for years. Today I was reminded of whey that I use them. I had recently taken my wife's car into a local Dealership for her routine maintenance that is covered under her warranty. I was told she needed new brakes and the rotors turned. They gave me a price for the work to be done which I felt was a little high. I took the car to Tim at Affordable and after he looked at all 4 wheels he told me that the brakes were still good for about 15,000 miles and the rotors looked to be fine. He put the tires back on and told me he would see me in about 4 to 6 months. I have found that Tim and his staff at Affordable are the most honest people that I have ever dealt with in the car repair industry. If you haven't used them for your car repair then you should give them a try. I will only use them for all of my car repair work.

Always great service here! Great mechanics! I bring both of my vehicles here (I live 26 miles away) for all service and repairs. They are efficient, trustworthy and dependable. I've been doing business with them for approximately ten years and I refer other people to them every chance I get. Give Tim a call-you'll be glad you did. Terry & Robin Goldman

We have been taking out cars to Tim at Affordable Auto since he first opened the doors. He is the only mechanic we take out cars to for regular maintenance and repairs. He is fair, honest and he and his staff have always provided excellent customer service. The quality of there work is great and their prices are fair. I would highly recommend them!!!

We live out of state and needed a mechanic for a car that would not start. After reading all the honest reviews here, we called and were impressed with the initial conversation with Tim. We chose to have the car towed there after hours. Tim handled it the next day and what we planned to have done, ended up not needing a new part. Tim just fixed the issue using the same part that just needed to be bolted in properly. We went ahead and asked him to change the breaks while it was there. He was honest, professional, affordable and kind. Definitely recommend.

Still my go to shop! .....Few years later, Tim is still my go to shop! They don't make to many shops like this anymore! Honest and reliable. Went for breaks and they checked them and said still had some life and just charged me to rotate the tires. Great owner! I will be back.

Tim does an excellent job and is priced fairly for the work being completed. I have been bringing vehicles to Tim personally for over 10 years and have never had a single issue. In addition, I have referred at least a dozen family members and friends to Tim and have heard nothing but positive reports back in terms of pricing, service and value. I personally drive 45 minutes from Rock Hill to bring my car to Tim as I have looked at several other options closer to home, but have never found another repair shop that is as honest as Tim and competently completes the work in a timely manner. An auto mechanic you can trust to do quality work while not ripping you off can be difficult to find, look no further as Tim's get you covered.

We had driven here from out of state when our car started making noises that needed diagnosing. Tim was great, he figured out what the issue was and it turned out to be a cheaper fix than we'd expected. He ran through possible fixes and let us know what was really needed immediately and what we could wait on if we wanted. I felt he took the time to listen and didn't try to pressure us into anything. I really appreciated his time and work, they got us in quickly and all the work done the same day. If we lived in the area, this would definitely be our go-to mechanic.

I am new to the Gastonia area and as calling around i was fortunate to find this business. I was also extremely fortunate to make contact with Tim. He gave me a price quote over the phone and scheduled my appt same day, did repair same day at the exact price he had quoted. My Experience was very positive and this business offered a great experience. They will have my business AND will handle ALL of my auto needs going forward. What a blessing on a day that i really needed one. Excellent, excellent experience!! Thanks, Tim!!
