Took a Mercedes in for AC recharge. They told me the AC compressor blew up and contaminated the whole system. Repair estimate was 3000-4000$ parts and labor! Went to another place and they cleared some codes and recharged it. Works great! I heard good things about this business, but I don't trust them now.

I've never felt so taken advantage of before my visit to this place. I bought my Chrysler Town and Country brand new in 2004. I've taken very good care of it. It is one of the few models out there that you can pull your own codes by turning the key a few times. I also had a Verizon hum device plugged in which told me I had a misfire. The cylinder #6 was misfiring. Same thing happened a few years back with cylinder #4, that mechanic replaced the coil for that cylinder and $140 or so later, I was on my way. I called, told them what i thought was going on, made the appointment, and dropped my car off. I included the Verizon Hum report that I had previously printed out. The call came in a few hours later. The guy who called me had a laundry list of 7 or 8 things that needed to be done. Gave me a grand total of some outrageous number that I'd need to pay. I stated, this van has 200,000 miles on it and isn't worth the cost of those repairs, I'm not fixing all those things. I did agree that the spark plugs and wires probably are overdue so agreed to replace the plugs and wires and the coil for cylinder #6. I asked how much for just those items and the guy refused to give me an amount. He kept repeating to me the grand total which I had already refused to agree to. I repeated over and over that I was only needing the price for the coil and the plugs and wires. I ended the call >in tears< by saying I have never felt like I've been took by a mechanic shop... until today. I told him I was going to take my business elsewhere. I paid their $96 (or whatever it was) diagnostic fee over the phone and asked them to park my un-repaired van outside with the keys in it and I'd pick it up that night. I ended up taking it to the same mechanic that fixed my previous coil. Saved $$ because the wires they were taking out had a lifetime warranty so those were replaced for just the labor cost. Clearly, Auto Dynamics knew that, they just weren't passing the savings on to me. Someone called later and left a message wanting to talk to me. I never called them back. Nothing he could say would make it right so no sense wasting our time. #nevertrustamechanicwithaguyasareceptionist #gotoBoyerAutomotiveinstead #imaybeagirlbutimnotyourtypicalgirl #itoldyouwhatwaswrongwithit #onlytookittherebecausemyfriendwasamechanicthere

I started taking my car to Auto Dynamics last year: specifically I thought the brakes weren't responding the way they should have been, not how they had responded when the car was newer. (It's a 2013.) Ethan, the mechanic who worked on my car, was able to deduce the issue (new brakes NOT needed), ground some oxidation and hard stuff off the rotars by resurfacing them and scuffed the pads. Since then the brakes grab the way I want them to; this has returned my car to feeling much more nimble and responsive. AND, the cost was not a shocker to my bank account! I highly recommend Auto Dynamics, and will continue to take our vehicles there.

Auto Dynamics is the only shop I trust! They’ve worked on everything from my old beat up toy Jeep to my daily driver Journey to a couple sports cars. No matter the problem, they find it and fix it quickly. Their customer service is amazing! Everyone there is always friendly and always extremely kind. They have no issue with answering any questions and explaining them so anyone can understand. Herman and Eric are two of the most amazing and knowledgable people I’ve ever met.

Excellent service! I have been taking my fleet vehicles and personal vehicles to Auto Dynamics since they opened. Their customer service and pricing are top notch. I really can't say enough good things about Eric, Paul, Marc & Herman. I am and will remain a loyal customer.

The overall experience at Auto Dynamics was pretty awesome. They were prompt at replying back to me with a quote and stayed within the fee range for the services provided (they were the lowest for installation of lift kit, alignment, and road test). I previously coordinated with them to have a lift kit installed on my vehicle, dropped it off in the morning, and they were able to get it installed by close of business. Additionally they were very detail oriented - they touched up a few places in my suspension where surface rust was developing, touched up the suspension pieces where the manufacturer hadn't fully painted, washed my vehicle when they were finished, and advised of service points that I should pay attention to that I wasn't fully aware of.

We moved to Sioux Falls Aug '21 & I've have had a hard time finding a mechanic/ shop that I felt comfortable w/ until I visited Auto Dynamics back around Oct/Nov to get my Mercedes E350 diagnosed & repaired (still sitting in the garage not 100%) but @ that time I was informed that they do not work on Mercedes but I appreciated their honesty & friendliness (plus the shop is clean & well organized) so I mentioned I also have a Tahoe & Herman said "Now that we can handle no problem" I laughed & said well when I need it worked on I'll check you guys out. Fast forward to March & I saw a oil leak on the garage floor where the Tahoe is parked so I called around to a couple shops I was referred too & was sincerely disappointed by those shops lack of customer service &/or their disregard for my time (spent 8 mins on hold @ 1 place) when trying to get my truck looked at then I remember Herman & Eric so I gave them a call & they where able to get my truck in the next morning & out by the end of the day (valve cover gasket & egine bay cleanup). I'm completely happy w/ the service & price. 3 out 4 shops told me I would have to wait till the end of the month (2 weeks) to even get it in. But the cooler thing is....they now work on Mercedes! I'll be taking it to them in a few weeks & avoiding Luxury auto mall (where I took it originally but they couldn't find a problem because the c.e.l. wasn't on when they had it for 3 days). Thank you Eric, Herman & the entire team, as long as we're in Sioux Falls you'll have my business.

The AD team diagnosed and replaced a faulty break booster in my Kia. The work was completed a full day ahead of the scheduled appointment, the fees were reasonable and as quoted. They even washed it! Thank you for your fantastic work and superior customer service!

The team was remarkably hospitable and the waiting room was inviting. They got me in quickly and the work was done in a timely manner. They checked with me on pricing at each step of the process. Everyone I encountered was very pleasant!

Erick and his crew are top-notch. Polite, efficient (and effective), and speedy. I was a long-way from home and needed an issue addressed promptly. I was treated as though I was a long-time client. Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend Auto Dynamics Inc. From the very first phone call to inquire if they could help me with my car issue to picking up my car once they fixed it they were wonderful. They took the time to listen to my concerns and kept me informed through out the process. They were able to get my car in promptly and give me an estimate of the repair . The cost was LESS then I expected and that never happens. It was amazing how quickly they could get the parts and have my car fixed and back to me. Auto Dynamics Inc is a Very HONEST and RELIABLE business and I recommend them to everyone.

Just went to these guys for the first time. I was having suspension issues from work done at another shop, and that shop struggled to identify the root cause. Explained the problem and my thoughts to the service manager at Auto Dynamics and they found the problem on the first attempt. It doesn't get any better than that. Thank you Auto Dynamics!!

Super nice fella! Helped us on the side of the road. Got us up and running in no time free of charge. Very professional and genuine! Really saved the day us being from Yankton and it being after hours for every auto shop around. Thank you again!

They seem like really good people. They even gave me a ride back to my home in Sioux Falls. I wasn't super thrilled for them to charge me $170 just to plug in their OBD2 reader and tell me there's nothing wrong. At least now I know.

I have been going to them since I moved to Sioux Falls in 2020 and I can't say enough about them. They treat you like a human being and don't try to get you to do anything to your vehicle that doesn't have to be done. Unlike most places.

I had a flat tire, 5 below zero out and needed to be to work very soon. They got me in right away, explained what the issue was and my options. Great service, great people. Thank you Eric, Travis and Hunter! You guys are awesome!
