Alan Auto Repair Center

0 stars, only giving one to write this warning. I had originally written a 5 star review as I had been going to this guy for over two years for what seemed like honest work. This was until I gave him $4K to fix major components. Not only were the problems WORSE, but after taking the car to him the last time, he held my vehicle hostage unless I gave him $700, or sexual favors. Was able to obtain my vehicle without further issue with the help of a couple of cops. Nightmare. Be warned. EDIT in response to owner: That’s not how restraining orders work LOL. I haven’t received anything in the mail… You made up a nice story. I wouldn’t come back to your shop even if you gave me my $4k back. You only tinted my windows for FREE because you thought you were gonna get laid…Don’t forget who has the proof, and a real police report. NIGHTMARE.

I wish that I could do negative stars. Because that’s the type of service I received! I took my Car there to get looked at because my car was making a sound which sounded like the brakes. The owner said needed new brakes and he was gonna cut the rotors. That was the only option he gave. Within weeks, The car was making noise again. He told me it was because of the rain/cold. I did not feel comfortable and took it back to him within the matter of him, changing the brakes and cutting the rotors which he charged me for, but later said “you can’t cut back rotors “ He Tells me that I will need all new rotors well why didn’t you give me that option a month ago? Anyway, to go further and judge me another $500 not taking anything off of anything. To make matters worse when I got the vehicle back, he put two new rotors on the front and the back routers were the same. How do I know this? Because on the car you could tell the silver router and the Rusted rotors. He knew he messed up because he said “oh I need to call them and get them to bring me new rotors. The whole process was a mess. Do not go to this establishment. Do not go to this establishment if you do not want to get messed over. Or I have to return your car back within a few weeks.

If u need any ac repair done on your vehicle DO NOT take it here. I Paid 500 bucks for installation of a new ac system and the man didnt fix shit. It still blows hot air! When I went to pick up my truck he didn't even bother to explain anything to me. He just left it in the back of his shop with the doors unlocked and the keys in the ignition. I advise yall to take yalls vehicles to a MECHANIC!

We are not from the area and had a check engine light come on while vacationing. I called multiple shops but no one was able to work on my car the same day. Alan said he would do his best to fix my car same day. He diagnosed the issue and fixed the problem enough for us to be able to safely get back home from vacation. He explained the issues and what he did and did not repair. He provided pictures that I was able to give to my local mechanic. He did all this for an extremely reasonable fee and got me in and out in a couple of hours. I really appreciate all he did for us and would recommend him!

I had about $1100 worth of work done on my car in early February. They did a great job. I even had an issue a few days later where my check engine light came on again, and the owner was very patient and explained to me what the code was and that it was mild, and assured me he would never let me drive off in a car that wasn’t safe (I travel a lot for work). A month and 1200 miles later, my car is doing great. I will definitely use them again and I appreciate their patience with all of my questions and concerns.
