It's difficult to find an honest mechanic, but when you do it's worth its weight in gold! And my wife and I found Justin to be this kind of mechanic! He was completely honest, and forthcoming about all the diagnostics of our van. He was so thorough, and left nothing unturned! He gave us several options, with no pressure, and he was very reasonably priced. We will most definitely be using him again!

Two other shops in town weren’t even able/willing to diagnose the problem, much less fix it. Justin had this car for less than a day and it’s fixed. (It was a problem with the starter.) Not only that, he gave my daughter-in-law a ride home after dropping it off and then picked her up to retrieve her car when it was ready. Now that’s top notch service.

I called around looking for a place to get a diagnostic done on my Jeep. They had the soonest appt but what was really cool is he listened to what was happening with my Jeep and set up my appt but also advised me to just stop by a parts store and have my battery checked because it could be just that and if it was then to just cancel my appt before our set date. Well it was the battery and I’m so grateful as this saved me a lot of time! This business is more about helping people then making money and I’m so grateful!

Justin at Automotive Solutions was awesome to work with. I had taken our Mercedes Benz to him with some crazy electrical issues. I am not very knowledgeable with cars and it makes me nervous when I have an issue. Justin was easy to work with and very helpful. I felt like I could ask any question to better understand what was going on with my Benz. He was upfront and honest with what he was going to need to do and the cost. He was able to fix all of issues and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I will recommend him to all of my friends and also take all of my other vehicles. This is why you always use an expert and not take it to just someone that thinks they can fix it. Justin is an expert and he will take care of you.

I've been using Justin for all my automotive needs for several years. The first time I used him I had several items that he found that needed to be addressed. He helped my prioritize them so that I could have a safe and reliable vehicle and still do it with in my budget. It's also great that he will come to you. I don't have extra vehicles or drivers and sometimes I just need him to come where ever I am and take care of my issue. It's refreshing to find someone that is honest and reasonable.

We’ve now used automotive solutions twice and have nothing but good things to say! They do great work for a great price. When I called looking for an estimate to find and install a new engine they got back with us with 24 hours unlike other shops. The communication throughout the whole process was exceptional!

Wonderful folks, and past service. I was taken care of quickly. And when I wanted a last minute oil change they were very accommodating. Highly recommended

Knowledgeable and determined, Justin spent hours looking for a leak, eventually finding a problem with a part he'd installed 5 months previous. He replaced said part and even gave me a ride when done. He was courteous and efficient. It's a HUGE relief to find a mechanic I can trust.

Excellent, fast, reliable service, quality repairs, trustworthy, easy to deal with, communicated well, and able to work with my insurance. Even dropped the car off to my dad in the evening since he can't drive in the dark! Would highly recommend and use again!! Best repair shop around.

I spent a month in New Mexico camping in my 05 Honda Pilot and was anxious to get home to Cedar Rapids, IA. My air conditioning stopped working and the compressor was making a bunch of noise. I pulled into the Cannabis Depot by the Walmart to stock up. When I tried to restart it nothing. I knew the compressor had seized and needed fixing. I tried 4 other shops in the local area with no answer or left messages. I left a message at Automotive Solutions and they called me right back. I told them my situation and they said they could have a tow truck there shortly. It was about 15 minutes and the vehicle was on the hook and in a short I arrived. They were able to confirm my suspicions and gave me a price, which was less than what I would have gotten at home. I agreed and they had the part by the end of the day. It was Friday so I needed a place to stay. They let me camp in my vehicle in their lot for the weekend. Luckily I had my e-bike on board and as able to explore Pueblo on the weekend and Monday. Pueblo is pretty cool. They said I could recharge my bike and solar generator there. On Monday they got me in and fixed and back on the road. I was on the road home with air conditioning restored and home Tuesday afternoon. They are excellent mechanics and friendly people. If I lived in Pueblo they would be my go to mechanics. I wish they had a shop in Cedar Rapids. They took my desperate situation and made it easy and enjoyable. Big thanks to Justin and his crew.

Great service and repairs. They saved me $2,000-$3,000 on an exhaust system repair by locating a short SS flex hose instead of replacing the entire front end of the system. Their time and cost estimates are always correct and they keep you informed of your car’s status on a daily basis.

Was recommended to Justin by a family member 4-5 years ago for him being honest. Throughout the years he’s helped me keep my little old truck alive and worked on a handful of other vehicles as well. With a customer like myself who is close to their wallet, and wants to be overly informed about what’s going on, he does just that by keeping me in the loop and updated as things are going, and works with the customer. I take my vehicles here because I can trust this business

Excellent, little known shop. They do an amazing amount of work, with minimal staffing. It's very efficient. They were very nice and accommodating when I needed my Dodge Durangos A/C recharged. They fit me in among other ongoing repairs. I will be a returning customer.

Justin at Automotive Solutions was incredibly kind and helpful. I needed a water pump replaced. He offered the best price I found, made sure it was the water pump and got it in and done the next day. He also replaced my blend door actuators that were broken upon my last minute request. I will definitely return if needed. Thank you, Justin!
