First off my apologies when arriving to pick up my car then leaving the shop my car was not fixed, ugh we can't trust anyone even mechanic shops Owner Brian said he has been in business 40 yrs yet he knew nothing about what I told him what was wrong with my car. He would not admit to anything but bypass what I said and told me to take my car back in for a diagnostic test and if it was their fault he would fix he gives his customers 1yr warranty. But because he said he knew nothing about what I was saying I didn't think I should take my car bk in. He also before giving bk car he has to drive cars a certain amount of miles to report it well that was like ok then once again you didn't notice that u had to press the start button three times to start yet u said my car was ready hmm 🤔 something isn't right and my car don't start again also says needs transmission serviced before starting which that was the reason I also took in my car to replace TCM and software update. So if this problem isn't fixed correctly by owner himself no charge would be appreciated and then customers will know he corrects his wrong doing. This place is awesome and understanding he fixed my car great job. would reccommend them.

Called and asked for pricing for a ECU repair. They tried to charge me for an ECU reprogram on the original ECU🤨. Avoid this place, they are charging for unnecessary work and dishonesty. Other reviews have said the same on unnecessary charges.

I went here to get a new key a month ago and I've been getting the run around ever since they made a copy of my key but "never programed it" I had to drive up to fresno 4 times just to be told after waiting 2 hours that they need to repurchase the license never the less they have had the software for about 2 and a half weeks and I still haven't gotten a call about my key I'm pretty sure they made a copy that works and are trying to find and steal my car. Otherwise they wouldn't be holding onto my cut key and giving me the run around

Took my 2010 Chevy Malibu in because it would shut off from time to time and the check engine light came on. They did a diagnostic on it and determined that it needed a new ECU. Had the new ECU installed and picked up the car a week later. I then drove it for a day and noticed the same symptoms, so I returned the car and was told that they would run another diagnostic, but thought the problem was the fuse box. My car has been sitting in their lot now for over a month. After repeated calls, they now say they are waiting for the arrival of the part. I have ordered car parts from Amazon in the past and received them in less than a week. I am beyond frustrated at this point. There is no sense of urgency and their lack of ability to fix my car makes me wonder if they are even capable or masquerading as a auto repair shop. What happened to the true professionals?

Omg, Every time I taken my car. A new problem occurs less than 2 weeks. 3 problems in less then 2 months, this looks like a pattern from what I read on there reviews. Cause I seen this problem to many time's.

I took my Infiniti M37S in with one active warning light and another that was causing a failed smog test but was intermittent and off at the time. Lisa saved me a diagnostic fee by suggesting that I return when the light comes back on or the code cleared and smog passed. I returned with both warning lights on. The repair fees were fair and they were professional, prompt with the repair, and completed a successful smog test.

Well, we tried to use this business. We took our car in on a Tuesday and picked it up the following Monday because no one had ever even taken a look to diagnose it yet. It just sat there for four days untouched. Going to take her business somewhere that can actually work on our car.

They fix my car really great and they did in a good timely matter, what I love the most is that they made sure the part was good to use before giving back my car.

They have no trannsmission or electeical expert.. They dont have the right people to fit all mechanical needs.

They seem to do good work. However, they are VERY slow and it’s impossible to get information from them. They actually screened my calls and would not return my calls.

Charge you for work that's not needed and afterwards charging you more for the correct work and repair and then the owner says the reason is that he dosent want to loose money, took vehicle back 5 times for same reason only to find out he installed the wrong part and then blamed the previous repair shop that referred me to his shop, very sad experience with Brian and his A 1 Auto Center.

The first time I went to Brian was in 1993 to have a steering column repaired. I liked the work he did and a short time later I had a motor rebuilt at his shop. The rest is history. He's the only shop I've taken my cars to for the past 27 years. Definitely earned my loyalty.

Honest mechanics

Need to check more carefully the cars ....you need to drive with the mechanic and let them know we're is the issue on the car ....if you don't do that they just told you everything it's fine....and they still charged you
