Totally trustworthy -- based on 30 years experience by Keith F. at InsiderPages

Will not cheat you!!

We have been going to Parents for over 30 years with new cars, junkers and everything in between. My experience? They do the work on time; they always call you before proceeding, their estimates are accurate, they do good work. Most of all -- they're totally trustworthy. When we had junkers, they'd often advise us not to bother fixing something, it wasn't worth it. Or they'd suggest a cheaper alternative that was appropriate for a junker.If they say I must fix something, I totally trust them and do it. Their rates are not cheap, probably average from what I have heard from others. But they won't, absolutely won't, cheat you.

Exceedingly Rude and Overpriced

After discussing in detail my warranty with the man at Parents I was told that my warranty covered the work I needed done. Then after they began the work they told me that NO the warranty would not cover. I said, 'Well, I thought we discussed that this was covered and I can't afford to pay out of pocket when I have a warranty.' I was told that I need to learn how to understand mechanics and warranties. They put the car back together having done no work and billed me for the labor. I was made to feel stupid and treated with derision after having been a customer with them for over seven years.

Will Lie to You by Jeffrey L. at InsiderPages

My car stopped without warning (timing belt broke). I was told if I got it in the garage ASAP (late one Wednesday afternoon) that it could be looked at immediately. 1 1/2 days after the car was in the garage...

Added services not wanted, most likely did unncessary work

They diagnosed something that was probably not broken and I stupidly did not get a second opinion. They also added several items to the work order that were not requested or approved by me or my wife after...

Been going there for 30 years and I won't go anywhere else.

Very reliable. Done right, done honestly and done on time. If the work is not worth doing because of the age or condition of the car, they'll tell you and recommend an alternative.

Parents Auto by Pragati S. at InsiderPages

Parents auto is one of the best tire places I've been to. When I took my car there, they found 3 missing lugnuts! All were replaced, and I got my car back the next day. I've had no problems with my tires...
