After 7 days of trying to find my oil leak they just gave up. If you take your car in for more than 1 problem they only work on 1 problem at a time. I need a new Wilwood brake caliper and they said they couldn't find one so they just gave up. They forgot to put fluid in the radiator, I had to do it when I got home. They also forgot to put my bell housing cover back on so they brought it to my house and dropped it off for me to put back on. Nice people but that's it. The girls in the office Courtney and Angelina are as helpful as they can be. They seem to find more reasons why it can't be fixed than figuring out how it can be done.

It’s such a shame I am having to write this because the owner initially seemed like such a nice guy. Courtney in the office is completely unprofessional. The moment I questioned the cost of repairs (which we paid) and got a second opinion her entire demeanor changed. She started speaking to me in a disrespectful matter of fact tone, cut me off as I was speaking as if she was reprimanding me and she even called the place I got the quote from and bullied them verbally for giving me the information they did. When she called me back after bullying the other shop she even had the nerve to criticize me for getting a second opinion. Bottom line we were over charged by Grumpy’s by at least $300 in comparison to the quote received from another shop. That is not competitive pricing. After speaking with the owner he is completely aware of the way business is being ran just as previous reviews stated. He even had the audacity to send me a negative message regarding this review. I do see now why they have the bad reviews that they do and also why they are currently going through a law suit with another customer for shady business practices. This was definitely shady and Unfortunately we fell victim to the Grumpy’s scam too. Don’t let it happen to you. Choose anywhere else.

"I can't recommend Grumpy’s Auto Repair enough! They are incredibly honest and transparent about my car repairs, always explaining the issue clearly and providing detailed estimates before starting any work. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they consistently deliver quality service at a fair price.

I was working across the street with my skid steer and got a flat; they got us right in immediately. Couldn't ask for better customer service. Highly recommend them for all your automotive needs. Super honest people. I deal with repair shops a lot in my business, and places like this are hard to find; they care about their customers, and it's not all about the money.

I had my Camaro towed to Grumpy’s because I was having a no-start issue. They were able to provide towing at the cost of $100, which I later found out from the kind tow truck driver that his fee is always 50 bucks. So right there, Grumpy made $50 without moving a finger… Now on to the big issue.. Once the car was there they began with a diagnostic fee, which I completely understood. A few days later, I get a call saying that the wiring is not done correctly, and I will be charged about 8-10 hours of labor, coming out to a total of $1500. So a few days pass, i get a call that it’s all done. When I arrived at the shop, I tried getting a detailed explanation of which wiring was redone and what the exact issue was that was causing the problem, the only response I got was “I turned the key over 100 times, and it started every single time. You are good to go now”…That wasn’t the answer I was looking for,but hey, if it starts, I’m happy. I’m sure the 8-10 hours of labor that were put in, I was no longer going to have issues. The same day I get home I decide to grab a flashlight and start looking under the dash, in the trunk, engine bay, basically everywhere trying to see any new wiring or new connections. Just trying to see where my $1500 in labor went to, after about 30 minutes of looking everywhere I didn’t see much of a difference, didn’t see anything to justify so many hours of labor. A few weeks pass by, I haven’t done anything to the car besides driving it on the weekends, It decides to not start again!! Luckily, I found a shop that specializes in LS swaps, so I take it there. Come to find out, The engine harness/ignition wiring is a complete hack job and my mechanic now is honestly shocked that the car even ran before. So now Im in the process of redoing the wiring and even getting a complete new engine harness installed into the car. And get this! I’m paying $1500 in labor again to get it done the RIGHT WAY. The shop that’s working on my car now has been kind enough to send me pictures of the process, and there’s absolutely no way Grumpys Did the same amount of work for the $1500 that I paid them. I would bet money that Grumpys more than likely just tapped in or reconnected a few wires here and there and called it good. I did not notice the 10 hours of labor that I paid for with Grumpy. Unless, of course, I’m paying 8-10 hours for an uneducated mechanic who is basically getting paid to learn and figure out an issue that he’s not even trained to fix. In my opinion, if you own a hot rod or muscle car stay far away from this shop!! Attached are a few pictures of the work that’s getting done now by a shop that knows how to get things done the right way. One last thing, I’m sure I could’ve had the car towed back to grumpy to have a second look. But now having an opinion from someone else, I’m glad I didn’t do that.

One of our vehicles started having a funky smell when we turned the air/ac vents on…. Turns out we had a very dirty cabin filter. Darren at Grumpy’s got it fixed quickly and put a new one in, and, also added some scent bomb in there to neutralize the smell. Vehicle is smelling great again. Thanks Grumpy’s 🏁⭐️💡

I brought our 55 Chevy in for routine maintenance and suspension adjustments. All work was done as asked and within the estimate provided. Extra care was taken with a plastic seat cover and floor mat protection which was appreciated as the interior is new. I always enjoy the team at Grumpy’s and to see all of the great projects and upgrades the car customers are having done here. Grumpy’s has done a ton of work on our car and they have always kept me updated on any challenges and concerns to include any costs associated with finding something unexpected. I have seen other reviews from customers who have faced some challenges which can be very frustrating, but I have never had this experience. The team at Grumpy’s have always been very professional, with great care taken with my car and the work being performed. I just can’t see myself not being able to navigate a conversation to a positive outcome with the team at Grumpy’s.

Dropped in from out of town. This team took exceptional care of me with true professionalism. They troubleshot my issues and asked critical questions about the vehicle’s history and encouraged me to ask if previous maintenance had a warranty on the failed parts. They worked to get the warranty honored and made it happen. Great work accomplished, great customer service and care, great prices, and great folks for both maintenance and reception. Thank you Team Grumpy’s! Eddie Jammer 17 Mar 2025

I brought in my 89 4Runner for suspension and brake repairs, and had it back in my possession by 5pm on the same day! I don’t like to take my classic vehicles anywhere but here. It wasn’t cheap but they worked with me on the price and even offered a payment plan because I was a new mom at the time. Had an overall great experience. Everyone was nice, especially the girls in the office.

Grumpy’s goes above and beyond for their customers. I have been coming in routinely whether it’s for break changes, oil, and other maintenance and they tell me what I need and what’s best for my car. They truly care about their customers and treat you like family, it’s something I recommend to my family and friends that need work on their car.

A First-Class Experience from Start to Finish! I recently brought my car into Grumpy's Automotive for a major 100,000-mile tune-up and a full interior and exterior detail. I cannot express how impressed I am with the entire experience. From the initial quote to the final handover, the price was right every step of the way. There were no hidden fees or surprise upsells. The value for the comprehensive work I received was outstanding. What truly set them apart was their communication. I was informed and they did nothing without my consent and approval. Before any work began, they walked me through the recommended service for the 100,000-mile milestone, explaining the "why" behind each item. When they found an issue during the inspection, they called me immediately, explained the problem in a way I could understand, gave me the cost, and got my explicit approval before moving forward. I never felt pressured or in the dark. The car runs smoother than it has in years after the tune-up, and the detailing team brought my interior back to showroom condition. It feels like a new car! If you're looking for an honest, transparent, and highly skilled auto shop, look no further. Grumpy's Automotive has earned a customer for life. Highly recommended
