Auto repair service near Alton, IL

These guys rock! Took the time to explain my front end repair. Even took me to the vehicle to show me. I trust them completely. It feels good that I can take my vehicle to a place that's not out to take me.

Had a great car until I took it to Complete Auto Repair. After spending over $5,000 to have lots of work done, including replacing a bad hub, the car went in for a tuneup and a thermostat, for which Mr Kachkovsky informed me that the gaskets were bad and had to be replaced. This was the second time he hold me the gaskets needed to be replace. The car was not looked at till day two after the appointment. Told him not to repair the car, I would pick it up. Mr Kachkovsky told me the the tuneup (plugs, wires, etc) was completed and therefore he was paid for the services. The car was taken to a reputable dealership and the thermostat was repaired. NO problem with the gaskets. Six months later the car is running horribly. Took it to the dealer who told me needed a tuneup (plugs, wires) and that the hub that I paid Complete Auto Repair to replace had not been replaced and was still leaking. Apparently Complete Auto Repair was paid several thousand dollars to store my car on their lot since they did not do the repairs. The dealership did give me the parts that were not replace as Mr Kachkovsky had told me and was paid for. A refund of the funds that were paid for work that I can provide proof for that was not completed was requested. Mr Kachkovsky, by not acknowledging my letter for the request, has refused to refund the monies paid him. Tried to complain to both the ASA and the ASE, only to find out that the buesiness is NOT associated with either and is therefore falsely advertising association with them. My suggestion, DO NOT USE THIS REPAIR SHOP.

Re-Sold Car I Bought To Someone Else! I bought a car over the phone on Saturday morning because I live 30 miles away and I'd been to the dealership twice already. The salesman told me we had 'locked it down' and the car was mine and asked that I wait until Monday to pick it up so he could get the commission because he would be off work. I agreed to this and Monday morning came and I received a phone call from another salesman telling me they sold my car to someone else and I'm just out of luck. What a horrible experience from start to finish. I made 2 prior offers on this car at the dealership and both times I was walked out the door without even getting a counter offer. A few weeks later the car price was lowered on autotrader to only $500 more than my original offer. So I emailed them through autotrader reiterating my offer. A sales person called me and we closed the deal over the phone. For whatever reason their manager decided they don't want to sell the car for that much or to me and cancelled the order with me. I do not believe they really sold it because the car is still listed on autotrader for sale! This was a gift for my pregnant wife who is now very stressed out and upset for no reason. Buying a car is supposed to be a great experience and a happy time. These guys jerked me around then jerked the sale out from under me. Unacceptable guys, there is no excuse for this.

They topped off my anti freeze with the green stuff instead of the orange stuff.

Work done was excellent as always. However, the quote of $350 to change the ignition switch is way over the top. I changed it myself in less than a half hour in my driveway in the cold.

I bought a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5 year 100,000 "zero deductible" warranty. The Jeep has given me NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, and I've spent almost $3,000.00 on the "zero deductible" warranty-- it's been in the shop nine times with transmission problems, leaks, torque converter issues, you name it. Look at the Better Business Bureau rating, it's an F (http://www.bbb.org/stlouis/business-reviews/auto-repair-and-service/metro-motors-in-o-fallon-mo-310286009). They do not check their vehicles before they sell them, and will not stand behind their product. When I contacted Zach Gary Edelen about the lemon he sold me, he told me to take it up with the warranty company, and there was nothing he could do. Wow, that is GREAT service!!! When I pressed him about the fact that we've sunk $2700 into a vehicle that STILL isn't running correctly, still leaking, still having electrical problems, his response? "Drive Ur car like a normal [person] and perhaps it'll last u a while. Nevermind the fact that u and Ur husband together are so fat you max out the payload for a jeep. No wonder Ur transmission went out. Ur just unrealistic in ur expectations. And like the rest of if life want something for nothing... Hope u choke on a chicken wing and die. Love always...G Ps... Last time I checked I was a car DEALER not a MANUFACTURER!" So rather than stand behind his product, or try to make a bad situation right, he insults my husband and myself, calls us fat, and wishes death upon us-- all because I had the nerve to complain! Now THAT'S someone you want to do business with! Just an addition to the review-- we drove from Bloomington not because this crappy Jeep was the "best deal," but because Mom & Dad pressured me into buying from a "family" member, because they thought it would benefit everyone. We've since learned our lesson, and no one from any of our families will be buying from them again. Oh yeah, everybody-- this guy is a "cousin" by the way-- so if he treats "FAMILY" this way

They did the repairs.

Entrusted this shop w/ work on a recently purchased Jeep. Work was completed in good time and done extremely well. Will absolutely use again. Good to find a trustworthy shop that does good work. Dan K. St. Louis, MO

Mark and his entire staff are great people to deal with. They are friendly, honest and knowledgable. The pricing is fair, the service is top notch. You need to take your vehicle here for all your repair and maintenance needs. I use their new Ellisville location. My brother and his entire family take their vehicles to the Fenton location. We love them for their friendly, honest dealings, fair pricing and great work.
