I took my 2002 chevy pickup for an oil change on9/9/14 at that time I was informed needed to replace tie rod end replacements @ a cost of 637.00 which I paid. After paying I return home and on my table I had a 75.00 off any service of 600.00 or more card from Bartels. I call the Oswego store and request the credit and Devin (Manager) did so, as credit to my account. I returned a month later for a brake inspection, and was told by Shawn McDowell I needed everything, brake pads rotors calipers etc.I told him I did not believe that to be true.I took my truck and had my brake job somewhere else which did not require the extensive work as quoted at Bartels. Still having a credit of 75.00 I took my truck for a oil change, upon completion I was asked for a payment of 20.88, I replied take it from the credit I have .I was told by Shawn McDowell You can't use it for that! By this time I realized I had no other form of payment with me, at that time I said I would run home and get it, mind you I live less than 1 mile away, then I'm told we can't let you take the truck. By this time I am fuming. I then have to call my husband who is very ill with fatal cancer and in a hospice bed because he cannot get up without assistance, and ask for our credit card number. As I am leaving Shawn smiles and says the general manager will be in on Monday. Monday comes I talk with Devin, made him aware of the situation and DEMANDED my 75.00. I also asked for the owners contact information,I was given the number to another location. I have been a customer for over 10 years. I will NEVER return there again. WORD TO THE WISE! WHO NEEDS CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE THIS.

Fast friendly people there, they really take the time to explain how and why things happen to your car. I hate when I am forced to have work done on my car, but at least when I take it to Mark and his team, I know it gets done right and as soon as possible. They even offer you a free loaner car if the job is bigger or will take longer than expected. I have only needed it once so far, so I think they narrow down the problem pretty fast and get you back on the road. Their prices are very fair. A few times in the past I have wasted my time getting estimates at other places, just to end up back at GTM! Oh well, live and learn!

I was stranded 50 miles from home and got my car towed here, I was a little nervous not knowing anything about the shop or the area. John was very nice and assured me that they would find out what was wrong, I wondered at what cost..The car was looked at and the cost was very reasonable, being a woman I was concerned they were going to try and overcharge me because I had no other option but to go there. Even though I live so far away I would definitely bring my car here again for service, a nice honest mechanic/repair shop is hard to find but this place rocked!

I needed a new flex pipe welded into my exhaust on my small car, and swung by to see if they could take care of it. I explained that I only had 45 minutes and could come back the next day if that wasn't enough time. They said they could get it done quickly. 20 minutes later I was driving away with a new (quiet!) flex pipe in my exhaust. That was over 6 months ago and the weld is still in great shape so I know they didn't just do a quick sloppy job. These guys were friendly, professional, and gave 110% fantastic client service. I'll definitely go back!

I went to get my oil changed and the guy doing the oil change told me about my brakes he was vary nice took me in the shop and showed me what was wrong and why.The price i got was cheaper than anyone else i got new pads rotors and calipers serviced for under 200.00 the brakes have not gave me any problems.The mechanic did a great job now i bring all my cars to them.

I appreciated being spoken to as an intelligent person instead of "a know nothing about cars woman". I liked the updates as you worked on my car & the easy of making an appointment. I have already recommended to the rest of my family to bring their cars to your facility. Angela Ponder

Been using A-1 for years. Have always stood behind their work. Had shocks installed, did work quickly for agreed price & rotated my tires while vehicle was there.
