"I can't recommend Grumpy’s Auto Repair enough! They are incredibly honest and transparent about my car repairs, always explaining the issue clearly and providing detailed estimates before starting any work. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they consistently deliver quality service at a fair price.

Grumpy gave we a fair price and did exactly the work i asked for. Preety accurate with how long the work would be. Communication was good. I will speak highly of this company. Friendly. Fair exchange

I had my Camaro towed to Grumpy’s because I was having a no-start issue. They were able to provide towing at the cost of $100, which I later found out from the kind tow truck driver that his fee is always 50 bucks. So right there, Grumpy made $50 without moving a finger… Now on to the big issue.. Once the car was there they began with a diagnostic fee, which I completely understood. A few days later, I get a call saying that the wiring is not done correctly, and I will be charged about 8-10 hours of labor, coming out to a total of $1500. So a few days pass, i get a call that it’s all done. When I arrived at the shop, I tried getting a detailed explanation of which wiring was redone and what the exact issue was that was causing the problem, the only response I got was “I turned the key over 100 times, and it started every single time. You are good to go now”…That wasn’t the answer I was looking for,but hey, if it starts, I’m happy. I’m sure the 8-10 hours of labor that were put in, I was no longer going to have issues. The same day I get home I decide to grab a flashlight and start looking under the dash, in the trunk, engine bay, basically everywhere trying to see any new wiring or new connections. Just trying to see where my $1500 in labor went to, after about 30 minutes of looking everywhere I didn’t see much of a difference, didn’t see anything to justify so many hours of labor. A few weeks pass by, I haven’t done anything to the car besides driving it on the weekends, It decides to not start again!! Luckily, I found a shop that specializes in LS swaps, so I take it there. Come to find out, The engine harness/ignition wiring is a complete hack job and my mechanic now is honestly shocked that the car even ran before. So now Im in the process of redoing the wiring and even getting a complete new engine harness installed into the car. And get this! I’m paying $1500 in labor again to get it done the RIGHT WAY. The shop that’s working on my car now has been kind enough to send me pictures of the process, and there’s absolutely no way Grumpys Did the same amount of work for the $1500 that I paid them. I would bet money that Grumpys more than likely just tapped in or reconnected a few wires here and there and called it good. I did not notice the 10 hours of labor that I paid for with Grumpy. Unless, of course, I’m paying 8-10 hours for an uneducated mechanic who is basically getting paid to learn and figure out an issue that he’s not even trained to fix. In my opinion, if you own a hot rod or muscle car stay far away from this shop!! Attached are a few pictures of the work that’s getting done now by a shop that knows how to get things done the right way. One last thing, I’m sure I could’ve had the car towed back to grumpy to have a second look. But now having an opinion from someone else, I’m glad I didn’t do that.

I took my 1970 Monte Carlo in for some brake work and throttle cable linkage work. Very pleased with their work. I highly recommend them.

First off I want to start out with. I do a lot of research before I put my trust in a mechanic shop. I’ve been burnt a time or two and I’m not one to typically leave a review or even waste my time to read them but after getting referred from a friend , I decided to look them up to see where they’re located Hands down great shop!! Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. Girls in the office are very friendly and helpful came in for some work that I have already been shopping around for but Grumpys had the best price and killed two birds with one stone was able to get 4 brand new tires. Not only did they not try to sell me the most expensive tire but gave me multiple options from budget friendly, middle of the road and up to toyos this was very nice to experience such great customer service and super knowledgeable I have already made a follow up appointment to get my oil change Thank you, Grumpys and the staff!! highly recommended this shop..

I brought in my 89 4Runner for suspension and brake repairs, and had it back in my possession by 5pm on the same day! I don’t like to take my classic vehicles anywhere but here. It wasn’t cheap but they worked with me on the price and even offered a payment plan because I was a new mom at the time. Had an overall great experience. Everyone was nice, especially the girls in the office.

It’s such a shame I am having to write this because the owner initially seemed like such a nice guy. Courtney in the office is completely unprofessional. The moment I questioned the cost of repairs (which we paid) and got a second opinion her entire demeanor changed. She started speaking to me in a disrespectful matter of fact tone, cut me off as I was speaking as if she was reprimanding me and she even called the place I got the quote from and bullied them verbally for giving me the information they did. When she called me back after bullying the other shop she even had the nerve to criticize me for getting a second opinion. Bottom line we were over charged by Grumpy’s by at least $300 in comparison to the quote received from another shop. That is not competitive pricing. After speaking with the owner he is completely aware of the way business is being ran just as previous reviews stated. He even had the audacity to send me a negative message regarding this review. I do see now why they have the bad reviews that they do and also why they are currently going through a law suit with another customer for shady business practices. This was definitely shady and Unfortunately we fell victim to the Grumpy’s scam too. Don’t let it happen to you. Choose anywhere else.

One of the best repair places I’ve been. Pricing was good and when they found out the issue was something else they told me and didn’t charge extra. Really kind people,Thanks!!

After 7 days of trying to find my oil leak they just gave up. If you take your car in for more than 1 problem they only work on 1 problem at a time. I need a new Wilwood brake caliper and they said they couldn't find one so they just gave up. They forgot to put fluid in the radiator, I had to do it when I got home. They also forgot to put my bell housing cover back on so they brought it to my house and dropped it off for me to put back on. Nice people but that's it. The girls in the office Courtney and Angelina are as helpful as they can be. They seem to find more reasons why it can't be fixed than figuring out how it can be done.

One word that describes Grumpys hotrod…..GARBAGE. The owner and the business is a SCAM. If you love your hotrod, AVOID GRUMPYS!
