Come to us and "Have it done right the first time". Auto Specialists is the only place I think of when my car needs work. I have trsuted them for years because the work is done right the first time. I would recommend This place to anyone even if it is just for a quick checkup. I have to say I was a little apprehensive to go to A&S due to the mixed reviews but I have to say I am very happy I did. Worked with Chris. Definitely a fair price, quick turnaround, and high quality paint job to my Lexus. Highly recommend! Thanks Chris! I highly recommend A&S. They fixed my car for a great price, after the last shop I used told me it would cost me more to fix my car than it was worth. They also said it was so complex they didn’t want to do the job. I took my car to A&S and they diagnosed the problems and found a critical safety problem ( a broken strut rubbing away at my tire) my last station missed. I dropped my car off the next morning and it was ready at Noon. It’s riding like new, and I couldn’t be happier. Your owner’s manual provides all necessary information regarding what parts to replace and when to do it. Read it thoroughly and note any exceptions or severe service notations. Warranties are there to protect the consumer, but you must follow the requirements. If you have questions about warranties, please contact us. If you can see cracks in your belts, it is time to have them replaced. We recommend replacing your belts and hoses at least every three to four years. If your hoses look swollen or soft that could be an indicator that they need to be replaced. However, hoses can deteriorate on the inside and if this happens there is no visual evidence that the hose needs to be changed. This depends on the type of spark plugs that are in your car. Older cars (15-20 years old) are more likely to have standard plugs and they last 12,000-15,000 miles, newer models up to the year 2000 are platinum tipped and will last 30,000 miles. Some 2000 and newer have iridium tipped plugs and will go 90,000 to 100,000 miles.

A rare auto business that I can trust with any problem with my car and two other vehicles I own. Chris is a great guy. Professional service and it enhances a business when U are greeted by Amanda who possesses much auto knowledge especially on insurance matters. Ken Leibovitz

This place is quite amazing. It's like a One-Stop shop. They do everything and everything quite well. I have my brakes done excellent job. Going to have body work done. I don't think there's anything this place cannot do. Young lady Amanda is absolutely on the money. She went through my auto claim and got everything set up for me. Chris is quite a mechanic also prices are very reasonable or competitive at least. But they professional job. I highly recommend it from small jobs to large

Body work was good but it is the most dishonest and deceitful business I've ever had the displeasure using. Stay far far away!!

I recently had some work done here on my Audi and wow… Chris and his employees are absolute professionals. I cannot speak highly enough of this business. Like many people I struggle to find an auto repair business that I can trust. Fortunately, my search is over. Chris (the owner) has created a very honest, respectful, and highly capable team. My sense is they would never let anything leave the shop unless it is not just repaired but better than its pre-damaged state. They care about everything they do, and they are honest to the extreme, even if it means turning away unnecessary work. They work fast and are also very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this business as your one-stop-shop for all your automotive maintenance work. I won’t go anywhere else from now on.
