AQ Automotive / Affordable Quality Auto Repair

Jan 31, 2025

AQ Automotive I’ve been using AQ Automotive (Johnny Ridgway Jr.) for more than 10years. This is still the hands down best place to take your truck or car. He’s an honest guy and a great mechanic with fair prices! My family has been using his services for over 25 years. I’ve had at least 3 pre-purchase check ups done. I’ve never had any problems except what Jonny had already found and regular maintenance after my purchase. I have all my regular maintenance done at AQ Automotive. Drop off & pickup are quick and easy. Any delays or changes in the planned services are clearly communicated. Paying with cash gets a bit of a discount, all ways a bonus! I’m picky about my service. I have grandkids and my dog as my primary passengers. I want everything safe and sound all the time. Jonny knows how picky I am and is always ready to tell me about anything he finds that should go on my list of future repairs; anything from getting it done now, sometime soon (6-12months) & 1-5 years. His estimate of what I’ll need to have done in the future isn’t an exact science but it allows me time to budget and save.

I took my car to this place to figure out what was wrong with my transmission and they scanned it, it was a D5 flashing light that kept going off and they scanned it and came up with some codes on things that had already been fixed in the car. Instead doing more diagnostics on the car and trying to find out what's wrong they told me they would need to go in to transmission to find the problem. Me, because I know nothing about cars agreed, but after leaving took it somewhere else after consulting with a friend. The place I took it to was able to figure out the problem right away without wanting to go into my transmission which would have costed thousands of dollars verses a pressure sensor change which only cost me 192. That's a huge difference in money. It's hard to find a place willing to take that time out to just try and diagnose without wanting to go the expensive route. But I'm glad I got a third opinion. The third opinion was the smarter route and saved me lots of money I didn't need to spend.

The most honest and highly Competent automotive specialist I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I went to this place after an initial estimate, and let's just say the other quotes were ridiculous and were overestimating on things I didn't need done. AQ pricing was a 1/3 of their competitors. That tells me that AQ automotive has more than enough work, that it doesn't need to overcharge and add work that isn't needed for your vehicle. AQ automotive are the real deal. If you need service, and they're booked out a week or two, it's worth the wait. I highly recommend this business.

Love this place and have been raking my cars here for years. I did some comparative price checks before the first visit and I’ve been super satisfied with their work. The problems are fixed right the first time and they don’t try to tell me I need stuff that I don’t actually need. Keep up the great work!!
