By far the best experience I’ve had with a mechanic. Alex was knowledgeable and his customer service was more than you can hope for. Explained the problem with vehicle thoroughly and quickly fixed issue at a more than fair price. Wouldn’t recommend any other car mechanic besides this one. Thank you.

I would absolutely recommend Value Auto, Alex and his team of mechanics are top notch!! I ALWAYS have a great experience coming here. Honesty and mechanics usually don't go together but at Value Auto it really does! Give Value Auto a try and you will be pleasantly surprised!

Best experience I've had in all of SD. Alex is the man! And his shop is great - price, quality, timeliness, and he tells you what you NEED...not what what you "need" but really don't. You'll get genuine suggestions about non-urgent, now or later maintenance that you could do if you wanted but isn't strictly necessary if you can't afford it or simply want to wait.

I recently contacted Value Auto Repair for a high-mileage inspection on my daughter's truck. After reviewing Yelp, I spoke with the owner, Alex, who quoted me $180 for a general inspection. When I inquired about a military discount, Alex stated that he charges military personnel more due to the current president. I was shocked by this response, as I believe it's inappropriate to penalize military members based on political views, especially given their service to the country. This experience makes me question the accuracy of the Yelp reviews.

So glad I found this place! Being a woman made getting my car fixed so much harder than it should’ve been and This mechanic saved me so much time and money just by being honest, doing quality work & charging substantially less than everywhere else I went. I’ve had 2 major fixes here & couldn’t be happier with the customer service, work and price. Best mechanic I’ve ever had. Very knowledgeable too. (Ohio plate lady)

I had a really good experience here. I have a 2019 Mini Clubman and I was worried about finding a mechanic that had experience with Mini Coopers, but this garage eased my fears. I contacted them via Yelp and they sent me a quote. I followed up with a phone call at which time they were very responsive & courteous. We texted necessary information to one another and they ordered the parts needed for my brakes repair. When I arrived, they were prepared to work on my car and gave me a timeframe for how long it would take. They called me within the given timeframe and charged me the estimate he previously provided. I plan to go back to them for any future Mini repairs and hope they treat me as well as my first experience!

I'm 56yo and this is the first time in my life that I have had an auto shop send me away because they couldn't sell me something. This was my first time to go to this shop and I was very impressed with the professionalism, integrity and honesty, which prompted me to write a review (which I rarely do). I've owned a 2014 Chevy Volt with about 135,000 and all of the brake components are original to the car. I figured it was time to get the brakes checked\replaced before my daughter takes the car over and the technician told me they were like new and it was not needed. I was very surprised. They could have easily taken advantage of the way I presented the situation, in that I was very sure I needed new pads or the rotors turned...something, since typically brakes are replaced at 60,000 miles. If you are looking for an honest Auto Shop these guys are it! I will have them on speed dial and not hesitate to go back. Way to go Value Auto Repair!! Thanks.

Alex is the man! I was looking for an honest mechanic and found one. I brought my car in for some repairs and Alex was able to assist me for a really great deal. He even fixed a brake issue that I have been dealing with for months that another shop could not fix. He did it free of charge. Take your car to Value Auto Repair and trust that you are in good hands. Thanks again Alex.

The Best Auto Shop Experience of My Life — Period. Alex at Value Auto Repair is the most honest and helpful mechanic I’ve ever met. I brought in a 2002 Ford Focus with a misfire (P0304), and instead of upselling, he showed me ways to save money — encouraging me to buy my own parts and even found me a quality used wire, to cutting costs! After replacing plugs, a wire, and even trying an ignition coil, the problem remained. Alex spent hours troubleshooting but stood by his policy: “If we can’t fix it, we don’t charge you.” He refused to take a dime, even when I offered. He also gave me thoughtful advice on what to do next. In a world where integrity is rare, Alex is a true gem. Honest, kind, knowledgeable — if you want a mechanic who treats you like family, go to Value Auto Repair.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Value Auto Repair's exceptional service. I had been having brake and wheel bearing problems for quite some time, and I had taken my vehicle to several auto repair shops in search of a solution. Unfortunately, none of them were able to identify the issue and provide a suitable solution. When I brought my vehicle to Value Auto Repair, their skilled technicians were able to quickly diagnose the problem and inform me that my brakes and wheel bearings were faulty. They were able to provide a detailed explanation of the problem as well as an accurate repair estimate. Throughout the entire process, the Value Auto Repair team was also extremely friendly and professional. They kept me updated on the progress of the repairs, including photos, and were able to complete the work on time. My vehicle was running like new when I left Value Auto Repair. The brakes and wheel bearings were in perfect working order, and I was able to drive with confidence once more. I wholeheartedly recommend Value Auto Repair to anyone in need of dependable auto repair services. They truly exceeded my expectations, and I will return for any future repairs.

My coworker recommended Value Auto Repair when she heard that my car was having problems. The service I received from Alex was top tier — he was so kind and even explained in detail the car parts that needed replacing and showed me samples of the car parts so I could see what they actually looked like and have a frame of reference. He also offered me to buy the car parts elsewhere and have the labor done by him, which showed me he wasn’t trying to make a quick buck out of me if he was offering me to purchase car parts elsewhere. I appreciate his honest & quick service!

I definitely recommend coming here to get your vehicle fixed with anything. They’re there to help you fix what you only need to fix. They’re not there to try and make you spend money that you don’t need to spend. They have amazing workers! I had my encounter with Taco and it went well. I definitely would keep coming back here. They have great prices for their services! Thanks again Taco for helping me and for sharing your knowledge!!

Honest and dependable mechanic shop. I had the power steering rack replaced on my Tacoma, and they were transparent every step of the way and flexible with scheduling and options. My wife’s Volkswagen Passat also needed some major work, and they were upfront about whether it was actually worth fixing instead of just pushing repairs. Honest, affordable, and professional. Highly recommend.
