Top notch service. I have had my car here about three or four times. While not "cheap", they are not any more expensive than anywhere else in town... And most importantly they are HONEST... Which makes them a great value.
Had the headgaskets and coolant system redone by a Napa shop in Illinois, but continued to have problems. Took it here... They found the catalytic converter was clogged (hence the overheating). Radiator had issues and they replaced under warranty. Also correctly diagnosed the ignition coils were bad on another occasion. I always leave with my old car running better than ever. A few weeks ago, I was leaking coolant and brought it in. Turned out to be a bad radiator cap. They could have charged me for a radiator or something bogus, but they were honest.
My husband took my car to a big chain shop for my brakes and the car came back squealing. Took two more times of taking it in to get a simple break job right. Only to find out from the Allied crew that the brake fluid had not been flushed as it should have been. Now I know... Take it to Allied and it will always be done properly!!
Yesterday, Dan called and followed up to see how the car was running. Who does that anymore? They give me a ride to work and back to the shop when I need to bring the car in. All the staff is friendly and helpful. My coworker also brings his car here and we agree we won't go anywhere else.
Don't balk at the charge for the diagnosis... If you are having big problems with your car, it is worth every penny. I thought I was going to have to buy a new car, but these guys keep my 14 year old Subaru running great.
