I stopped in with a flat tire in the middle of lunch. The crew was happy to help air it up at no cost to me. When the tech noticed what caused the flat tire and offered to plug it at a reasonable price while I waited, I was so so so relieved and grateful. They didn’t have to make time for me but they did, and that means the world.

Complete waste of time! Was told it would take all day which I was fine with (my only day off during the week to get this done) and a price of 90$ and somehow the price quadrupled from the initial estimate. And was still charged for the fluid they put in that didn’t help anything at all because the job never got done! Will not be back again!

I reputable business very honest after driving 20 hours nonstop from Boston because my father was passing away here in South Bend. I noticed a terrible flaw in my tire. I have an unusual SUV with unusual tires and they were not able to source it locally but the gentleman was kind enough to switch it out with the full spare tire … so I could get back to Massachusetts and order new ones as a blonde female It’s very obvious when I walk through the door that I don’t know much about cars ( yikes ) and it makes one feel very vulnerable…. i’ve developed sort of a phobia of walking into automotive or car dealerships, but that was not the case here and I very much appreciate your help. I’m very far from home. Thank you, Jenna -I also want to thank the local couple who offered me a ride back to the hospital in the rain to see my dad. Thank you very much and God bless you both for your kindness.❤️ I was born here, 30 some years ago.. but I don’t know the area at all. I was very very lucky to come to this place

Always have been up front and honest with me, if I need something done on a budget they always are willing to work with me on what needs done immediately and what can wait. Overall i highly recommend this buisness, they are honest and hard working folk.

These guys are honest and do good work. Pretty expensive depending on the part sometimes, but you get what you pay for.

They started working on my car BEFORE giving me an estimate or getting my permission. This is an older vehicle which we were trying to decide if it was worth fixing. I will NOT be using their services in the future. After more than a decade of being loyal customers it saddens me that I will have to find somewhere else for my car repairs. It is NOT the same after the former owners sold out. I used to feel confident in the service and treatment but now it feels like the same run-around you get at a dealership where all they want is to upsell. **** PLEASES NOTE: After my review, I was contacted by Central Automotive and we had a converstaion about my experience. I am happy to report that they were very generous in refunding some of my expenses for the unauthorized work. This has gone a long way to repair my confidence in using their services in the future.

Got a quote from the shop for parts that were 2.5x the cost of the place they were getting them… and that does not even include the discount they would get from NAPA or similar for the parts. Unacceptable.

Recent change of name. I was happy with the work received here. They even made a few adjustments on that work a few weeks later for no charge. I would definitely be back.
