Electrical repair service near Fairview Heights, IL

Full service auto repair and quick lube.

Brought car in for brake repair estimate and received nothing but heartache. Estimate was very high and shop admitted additional damage done on unrelated brake components while doing inspection to fix minor brake repair. Shop refused to fix damage caused during inspection upon learning I had decided not to have Meineke complete any repairs needed. Brought car to another repair shop and fixed ALL work, including damage done by Meineke during inspection, at half of Meineke's original estimate to fix car. Filed to BBB ---case is pending. STAY AWAY and save yourself time and pain.

I had a great experience with Altox automotive as my 2004 BMW 525i car had some problem with headlight & seat etc and they fixed everything without any hassle. The two main people Roman and Justin were very friendly and gave a reasonable answer to any question with regard to the repair and tried to reduce the repair cost as much as possible. I would highly recommend to others to go and try Altox Automotive once and you will become their regular customer.

It was a very hot September and we were still using our A/C. They replaced the transformer. I noticed that they did not bother removeing the old trasformer and just set this one on top of it, which i thought was a little sloppy, but the A/C worked then so i didn't think to much about it. When it was time to turn on the furnace 2 months later, it did not come on. I was ready to call them back because it is an older furnace and just thought something else needed fixing on it. I made sure the A/C was still working and i thought it a little odd that the furnace would not do anything, so before i called i decided to look at the wiring schematic in the furnace and make sure that their technician had wired it up correctly. I had worked for seven years drawing wiring scematics for huge furnaces in inductrial plants used for melting aluminum, so i knew what i was looking at. Sure enough the technician had put the thermostat wire controling the furnace on the wrong terminal. After i put it on the wright one the furnace worked perfectly. I wasn't sure if it was just a mistake or if it was done on purpose so that i would have to make a new service call in a couple months. Either way i thought they should be made aware of the mistake. This is where my problem with the company lies. Where i work the customer is always right, even if they are wrong, they are right. I emailed them and told them what had happened and how at the very least they should see how their technician could have made such a simple mistake, if that is what it was. They responded by saying that they were sure it was a mistake and told me to take my business elswere next time and spend twice as much money. That was it, no opology for doing bad work, just go somewhere else. Companies that are ran by people like this are what is wrong with this country today, it's sad.

I had Schiele replace a motor in my 65 F100. I provided the used motor to replace the existing one. I was very happy with the result. The mechanic's name was Aaron. As an example of how conscientious he was, he put a little oil in the cylinders and cranked it before actually trying to start it. This was probably a very good idea since the motor hadn't been run in a while. Aaron was willing to explain anything he was doing and didn't seem to mind that I came around often during the work. The project was completed in a timely manner and from my memory, slightly below what the initial estimate was. Keith Morehead

Remembering back to the day Don opened. It is because of his great service that he has allowed his business to grow and become a pillar of the community. It is truly hard to find service shops like his that care about their work and stand by it without overcharging and finding things that don't really need "a fixin". I highly recommend Giannini's Auto Service for all your auto repairs and needs. Jim Privitor Kirkwood, MO
