Auto Specialty of Lafayette, Inc.

"I prefer maintaining my own vehicles. This is the only place I go when I don’t have the tools or the time. Got a timing belt replaced on a V6 Camry, and they took the time (8 hours) to do it right."

"It is not often you find a business that doesn’t charge you for their work. My grandson is going to college next year, so we’ve been fixing up an older car with low miles to provide him with his transportation needs. We did the work on things we were comfortable with, fluid changes, brakes, belts, filters and testing with research to make sure we could give him something reliable. In my research I found recommendations at our mileage point to replace the struts to prevent undo wear on front end parts and keep the car at peak handling. This was not something we were comfortable doing so we reached out to “Auto Specialty of Lafayette” and made an appointment to have them replaced. My call from them was surprising enough in itself, “we had two mechanics test the car, we measured the bounce and height specs and found the car to be exactly as it should”. Needless to say, I was surprised they even checked for the need and not just fill the appointment with billable hours. And if this wasn’t already sincere enough, he wouldn’t take money for the time his team spent. The best part was showing my grandson how a business should be run and knowing that, we will see them again."

"Auto Specialty of Lafayette is a very reliable, honest, competent, and affordable shop to take your vehicle to. If they don't find an issue, they're not going to nickel & dime you or make up/exaggerate a potential repair. They truly stand out compared with other shops I have taken my vehicles to in the past."

"Highly recommended. He's really honest, knows your car very well, and you'll never get overpriced services here. I was initially told that it'd cost over $2,000 to fix my car at a different service center, and I fixed it here just paying around $150. We brought our car all of a sudden without appointments and his schedule was fully booked for the whole week, but he did his best to make time for diagnosing our car and fixed it in 3 days. I see other reviews saying he's not kind to you. Well I can see that he's not the type of person who smiles at you all the time without any reason, but the way he communicates with me doesn't feel like he's being disrespectful or being mean at all."

"I chose this shop that a friend suggested to me because I needed a clutch job for my Mazda Miata, and they fixed it perfectly and in a reasonable amount of time. The cost was also aligned with the kind of job my car required. I will go back to those guys for sure, and I highly recommend this place."
