We at Affordable Auto Clinic are VERY sorry for the confussion. I believe you tried to make an appointment via email, which we never received. repairpal.com made a BIG mistake allowing an appointment by email. We never approved that option on their website. The only appointment scheduling we offer is by phone, so that nothing like this ever happens. AGAIN we are very sorry for the mixup, and RepairPal has been notified.

They should tell you if there is more wrong with the vehicle, or at least check it out while they're doing the work because when I received the vehicle, what I took it in for was fixed but there was still an issue. They should have at least told me about it or said that they saw something wrong with the vehicle.

It was a check engine light that went on. They checked it and they weren't sure what it was - whether it was the idle control valve or the shooter. The light was off for a short time, and it came back again. I'm sure they want to do more repairs, but we can't afford it. They are very nice people.

Recently, I came across Affordable Auto Clinic when in need of a mechanic to take a last minute look at a vehicle my fiancee and I were looking to purchase. The staff was quick to get me in on such short notice and they were very thorough in examining my vehicle. It was a relief to be able to trust someone outside of our normal mechanic since we had traveled quite a distance to purchase this vehicle.
Thanks for the great service!

I have a 2001 Honda Odyssey and a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. Since Affordable Auto Clinic was opened these cars have been serviced there almost exclusively. Repairs such as timing belts, exhaust, oil changes, dash bulb replacement, sensors, diagnostic codes, pretty much anything I have ever thrown at them, they were able to handle at price that beats any of the competition. Plus this place are pros in dealing with E-check problems and such. The owner is a straight up "tell you how it is" guy and I would have no problem in recommending him to any of my friends and family.

I would absolutely tell anyone needing good HONEST car service to go to this shop.
The first time I have ever felt comfortable with an auto repair shop.
Not only did Vince look at the issues that were supposedly found with the other shop, he was honest enough to let me know that two parts that were supposed to be so bad they needed replaced, were infact good.
The work done on the car was $600 less than the estimate given by the other shop.
I too was given a ride home and greeted by the ever so darling "Shadow" the office K9 when I arrived!
I was also impressed to find out that this was a woman owned business!
Seriously if you've come this far to find Affordable Auto on Repair Pal, stop looking... you found the right place!Betty A Delfosse

Thank you for your business and taking the time for the AWSOME review. We do find that honesty is the best policy, if you want to continue in business. We try everyday to live up to our motto,"Quality Service At A Reasonable Price", and strive for customer satisfaction. It was great meeting you, and servicing your vehicle. I'm sure Shadow wouldn't mind if you just stopped to visit so that she could have another cookie!

I'd been going to the dealer since I got my used Toyota about a year ago. Last week, the dealer quoted a rear brake pad + rotor replacement at $475, which was very high according to RepairPal.
I called Affordable Auto Clinic because of the reviews on RepairPal and they offered the same repair for $220 (with the same premium pads the dealer offered) - and the final price matched the initial estimate.
Both Dee and Vince were very friendly and the job was done quickly while I waited. I'm very happy with the result and plan to go there instead of the dealer from now on.
Waiting room is comfortable - free wifi access, air conditioning, and a visit from a very friendly dog, Shadow. :)

I do most of repairs on my car. I was replacing a trailing arm on my car. Two bolts were frozen solid. I took my car for Vince to look at and try to repair. He had the same problem. He told me what I need to fix my car. I got the parts to fix it. There are a lot of shops out there that if you try to fix your car yourself and come to them to fix it. They charge you more than if they fixed it? But Not here. I was treated with respect and not racked over the coals. Vince and the crew were great. Kept me updated on the repair. I would Highly Recommend them to anyone.

Vince and Dee are great. There prices are very reasonable. They are great at showing you what is wrong, and how it needs fixed. They worked with our aftermarket warrenty to get it covered. Vince is always able to squeeze us in when needed, and they are very friendly. We will not take our vehicles anywhere else!!

I was very impressed with the service on my vehicle, the staff, and the waiting room. The head technician(Vince/25 yrs ASE Certified)explained in detail the repair that was needed to my car. He even brought the part into the waiting room so that he could give me a visual description of the problem. Being a woman, sometimes I feel intimidated at some auto shops, but that was not the case, they made me feel very comfortable. I relaxed on the leather couch with a cup of complimentary coffe, and while watching the big screen tv my car was repaired in a timely fashion. Since I live close by, they even offered to shuttle me home if I preferred not to wait. I won't be taking my car anywhere else except to Affordable Auto Clinic. Their prices are reasonable, and they have great service!

This shop is great! They worked on my Nissan Maxima for a whole week checking it for anything that would prevent it from starting. They narrowed it down to the security system, which unfortunately they could not fix. But they were very patient with me as I found a dealership to tow it to. And when the dealership tried to tell me that it was the fuel pump and not the security system, Vince went to bat for me on the phone with them and let them know that he had checked the fuel pump and it was fine! Before that I was so happy with their service and after that I was ecstatic! I will be taking my car to them in the future and I recommend everyone to take their car there. They are just great and they make sure to explain everything to you. You must take your car here.

Driving a Saab is great fun but presents lots of problems finding the right mechanic. All the other shops we have seen can fit into the category of 'unaffordable' either because the don't repair correctly, or because they don't care about saving you a dime!!
This shop is professional, great at communicating with us, friendly and have a very clean enjoyable space.

The customer service I received at Affordable Auto Clinic was great. I was given a ride home after dropping my car off. My car was repaired quickly and in a reasonable time. Vince worked with me to make sure all my needs were met and I felt the price was very fair. I would recommend to my friends and family.
