After searching for years for a decent shop in my area, I decided to try 3A automotive based on their articles written in the North Central News. Boy, am I glad I did. I've been going there for a couple of years with three different cars, now. My experiences have all been great. They've been reliable, professional, proactive, and are always friendly. One of the biggest beefs I've had with shops that I've been to in the past (who've had good mechanics) is the lack of professionalism - I've had to wait for hours past when they said a car was ready and than more time for them to simply ring up a ticket. This has never been the case at 3A! When I bring a car in, they call me when it's ready and I pick it up - in and out in 5 min. So refreshing. As you should expect, I've never had an issue with the repairs or maintenance that have been performed.
