Never took my personal vehicle but we took a few of our company trucks and they still had the same issues so after a few times of that my company backed out

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Nice fast and prices are much better than the dealership. Edit. Prices are good for oil changes and things like that. Staff are mostly nice. I changed my review to 3 stars because if you have any major repair here be prepared to wait a very long time. Like 2+ months. Having a 3rd car is the only option because a rental car would be outrageous. While I have no doubt they do things correctly it's just too much time to wait for a 20-30 hour job. Youre much better off just paying the dealership extra to get your car back a lot sooner. I will update my review on the quality of the repair once I get it back. Update. 9/23/24 The owner is extremely unprofessional. I call once a week to check on things and because I'm told something new needs replaced. My car has been there since April... April. Finalized repair prices in May. 95% of the time I'm told that I will get a call back by the end of the day. I never do. Then they get pissed off because I call back.... Owner then calls me a liar about being told I'll get a call back and then tells me he and everyone else was "annoyed and pissed off" at me because I call frequently to check on my car. As a consumer would you not check on a car you're spending $14 thousand dollars to fix that's been there half a year??? ..Literally takes 3 weeks to a month to even hear about part prices.... My wife heard the owner yelling at me while I'm being calm asking reasonable questions. Then hangs up on me. Im paying these guys $14k.... No customer deserves this. She's honestly taken a back and didn't realize how bad this man treats his customers. He's threatened to give me my car and parts back with no refund when I asked him if there was anything I could do. Will update if he does that and follow further. Update 11/4/24. After agreeing to all the repairs and they "fix" everything then then test drive the car multiple times while it's running rough and completely destroy my engine. I was told it was already like that but I have evidence video evidence as well as paper evidence that the car never had shaving in the oil before brown received it. Nor was it running rough whatsoever. They messed up the repair. And test drove it while running rough and ruined my engine. I am now having to hire a lawyer and take them to court for negligence.

Dan & the team at Brown Automotive are top tier in customer service. They do a thorough inspection of your vehicle. Fast and efficient, I highly recommend their services.

I've used Brown Automotive for a few years. Everyone there is courteous and professional. Their prices are consistently better than other shops in the area, and I never feel pressured into making additional repairs.

Got mad at me cause I wanted an update on my car would never pick up the phone unprofessional.

Brown Automotive has to be the best locally owned shop I’ve found yet, fair prices and nice staff. I would recommend them to any family and friends.

Aug 05, 2024

Fast easy service, definitely reliable since they actually take photos to show you problems. Great nice staff who take the time to explain things as well. Will be coming back for sure

Aug 05, 2024

Great pricing, friendly staff.I like how they take pictures of what they find that needs replacing/corrected. They get you in and out in the promised time frame, unless further work needs to be done.But even with that work I was out of their in 1.5 hours..I highly recommend this company for service.

Went in for an oil change, and was taken care of from start to finish. Professional and clean atmosphere and everyone there was great. Not to mention the prices are much better compared to other places. Great overall experience and definitely recommend them.

Jul 05, 2024

Very professional and never no problem getting me in to service. Been going there for 3 years and will continue. Thanks BA

Great service at a reasonable price. Fast service. Friendly staff, clean waiting area with plenty of seats. I'm very pleased with them.

I called Monday the lady at the front told me Tuesday I could pick it up . That was for oil change, fuel system cleaned, dropping gas tank to replace fuel filter. Recharge air conditioning. This was all discussed in the call and dropping it off. I figured Wednesday before I got the car back at the latest. Nope took till Friday. I had to call at 5 PM everyday just to ask if I could pick up the car. I will not be going back to Browns. AC is not fixed said leaking around compressor and something else. Wants $2100.00 to replace everything so it is under warranty . WTH that is more than the blue book value of the car.

Extremely friendly workers! They do their jobs good and get it done quick! They're prices are also better than any other repair shop I've been to! I'm definitely coming back the next time I need something done!!!

I called to get an estimate and was told by Glen that they can't give a quote over the phone. They have to look at the vehicle to give a quote. That to me is a suspicious practice. I know exactly what's wrong with my truck and I have the part to fix it. The only reason they can't quote over the phone is so they can make up prices for their labor on the fly. If I needed an oil change they could tell me how much that was however.

Very courteous and professional. Will definitely be taking my vehicles back to be serviced in the future. Highly recommend them.

Great

The people at Brown Automotive were excellent, I am pleased with the service I received, both personal and professional. They even found other problems while working on my car and fix it instead of leaving it for the next visit, and my car is running much better. Thanks to Brown Automotive for their excellent service.

They were all very nice and did a great job

This place serviced the oil on my wife’s trailblazer and after a couple of days we noticed drops of oil in our garage. When returned to browns they told us that this model car has an issue with a “drain plug seal” deteriorating(they never mentioned this the first 3 times they changed the oil on this car) and it just so happened to fail right after they changed the oil on it this time. Since the mechanic said it’s a Chevrolet issue They want to charge us to replace the part and then pay for another oil change on top of it. The mechanic who I spoke to over the phone said his manager would be in contact and it’s been 3 work days now with no response. We will be finding a new local mechanic this week.

Brown's walk in service was great.

I took in my 2015 Ford Transit cargo van and told them I needed a torque converter I thought was wrong with it. They inform me my torque converter was fine but I needed about $6,000 worth of work on a $8,000 man. I told him to fix partially of the long list they gave me. Way overpriced compared to other automotive repair shops that I've dealt with. 1,050 for front brakes LOL $1010 for a valve cover gasket :-(? After I spent around $1,900 on repairs my torque converter is still the same although I was told there was nothing wrong with it. I would not recommend them because they price gouge.

Feb 05, 2024

I went for an oil change and these guys went above and beyond checking everything on my car .. putting my safety first and helping me understand the steps I need to take to get things done. Everyone is so warm and welcoming! I recommend Brown's Automotive 100%

***Brown Automotive gave a canned, phoney response. IF they meant ONE WORD of their response, the owner would pick up the phone, call me, and make this right. This mechanic made promises then made excuses, THEN refused to resolve.*** If I could give less than 1 star I would. I spent over 4k at this establishment and was told by Dan that the repairs would resolve my coolant leak, oil leak, and would clear my check engine indicator. After having my car a over a week, and having it go through a QC, my car sounded horrible and was still leaking oil. I left it to be further repaired. 4 days later I get a call from Dan stating my car needed an additional 2.5k in repairs...that I still needed a new oil pan and an expansion tank for my coolant. I spoke to the owner Alex who basically stated she understood my frustration, and would discount $400. I am beyond livid. My hands are tied because had I known it would take almost $6k to repair my car, I would've sold it. This company puts forth a friendly, competent face but doesn't stand behind their word. I will never, ever give another dime to this company. This place MAY be good for oil changes and small repairs, but stay FAR AWAY for anything major. VERY frustrated and disappointed.

Good people who do good work

I found Brown Automotive a few months ago and now take both of my vehicles there. Great service, great people and great prices! Would recommend.

Jan 05, 2024

I had been a victim of the dealership repair rip-off scam. Feeling like I had no where to turn (most automotive repair shops do not have necessary tools etc to work on my make of vehicle) I contacted Brown. They were friendly, efficient and honest. They had my vehicle approximately 30 min and explained their inspection turned up no issues. I'm a big fan!

Jan 05, 2024

Went in for an oil change. Good price, friendly service. I was in and out quickly
