We took in my girlfriends Nissan Murano due to engine troubles. Steven talked to me on the phone about the full diagnosis and cheapest recommendations. The price was fair and transparency was very good. They even worked past normal hours to make sure the car was running right before pickup. We will be returning for future maintenance and repairs. 👍

About a week ago, I made an unfavorable review in regards to my new brakes scrubbing. I just wanted to amend that review and say the Steven and his team came through and replaced my brakes with factory parts without any extra charge. Thank you Steven.

We went there, not knowing what to expect, It was a long drive but worth it in the end. The workplace was clean, great with customer service, we talk with Steve on the phone. He’ll let us know they can work on the car. Which just went there for a leak on the tire and they say they work with a warranty which it was selling A+ for Me. They refill the tire with nitrogen but also trying to figure it out what is wrong with the tire, why or where is leaking from? Since they couldn’t find a nail or s hole, so they were really precocious in figure out many ways how to discover the linking air. There was no damage or causes of the link, amazing news from us. I was surprised how organize and clean everything look, with this company just having one or two years on their running. On that note Steve gives us a tour of the place. I felt that I was investing in this place by how they displaying everything to me. They have a whole monitor with video explaining what that part does to your car. And I thank you all on the team.

Amazing place! Had a wheel bearing failure on 95 and limped in there at 5pm. They stayed late and fixed me up same day. Clean shop, quality work, good prices and even had free snacks in the lobby area. This is how to treat and keep customers!

I had a great experience here. Great price for an oil change for my Kia. Definitely cheaper than the dealership! They were a bit busy when I came in but the staff was very accommodating and got my car done in a reasonable time.

Friendly automotive customer service was top tier. The staff was professional and welcoming. I had two other quotes for the job done on my car and Friendly automotive was still able to give me a better price. They provided transportation for me to get home and even took my car home for me. I will definitely use them again.

Extremely happy with the service provided from the team at Friendly Automotive. Communication from the service advisor was fantastic and my technician (Kevin) was able to resolve the over heating issue I was experiencing. I will be returning for further service!

They re-built the engine on my 2020 Chrysler Pacifica after I was quoted on a complete engine replacement by the dealership. I've been very happy with the way the car has been running since. Very smooth ride. They also changed the oil on my other car for free after the major engine re-build which I appreciated. I had to take the car back after the engine re-build because the AC was not working, but they got in working again. Very friendly and they provide quality work. My only issue was with some miscommunication, but after speaking with Steven the owner, we resolved the issue. Would reccommend highly over any dealership.
