| - My car died while I was driving to work, and a search for nearby auto repair places turned up this shop. It had good reviews so I decided to give them a shot.
I had my car towed to their shop using my GEICO roadside assistance, and the guys at 25th Street Automotive had it up and running again within the same day (I had a busted alternator). Their free shuttle took me back to my home for the afternoon, and then they came and picked me up later on when everything was ready to go.
When I came to pick up my car, they took the time to point out the fact that they had noticed that my radiator hoses were almost completely worn out (which I could see to be true), but they didn't insist on fixing it right then or there. They took the time to educate me about the issue and the potential costs, but they left the decision entirely up to me.
One other thing I noticed was that as part of the alternator repair, they had completely cleaned up my battery terminals and painted them with an anti-corrosion treatment. This was an unexpected attention to detail which I really appreciated.
Summary: Top notch, prompt service from friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled mechanics. At no point did I feel like I was being scammed or upsold things I didn't need, and the price I paid for this level of service seemed fair to me. I'll definitely be coming back!
