Artos Service Station

"I have been using Artos for both my families car repair needs as well as gasoline for over 10 years. Anytime I have any sort of question regarding a car issue, I know I can easily roll up to Arto and ask his advice (or even call/ text him). He has never tried to sell me on a service or part I didn't need and I trust his opinion on repair do's (or don'ts) 100%. He has even told me "It's cheaper to order the part online - order it (here's the exact part number and place to buy it cheapest) and I'll install it for you". He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and an overall great guy to have as a mechanic. There are a few things in professionals you want to make sure you have a good relationship with and a mechanic is at the top of the list. Arto is THAT guy."

"I have used Arto as a mechanic a few times, and always have a good experience. He is an honest mechanic with a genuine and kind personality. I have an older vehicle that has some quirks, and unlike other mechanics in the area he has never tried to pad on any additional charges. Always a fast turnaround time. Highly recommend!"

"Arto fixed an issue with one car after a tow and I ended up bringing my other vehicle to him because I liked working with him. He was easy to communicate with, helpful, and timely. If you are looking for a mechanic in the area I suggest giving him a call."

"Good for small job (oil change, tire) but very picky with small details. He doesn't want to work on my bolt joint until I got tail light to replace a broken one in order to pass the state inspection. Once I got the one he found for me, I had to insist to have it installed, he saw a small crack at the bottom. Once I got the car, after the bolt joint and the tail light replaced, he proudly told me that he got a state inspection sticker since he gave 10$ to the guy for him to ignore the small crack on the light. My broken one was worse and passed 3 stated inspection without problem."

"The service is horrible. My car was towed here and I now regret for the choice I made to agreeing the towing to here. Unexpectedly car wouldn't start during the weekend, then I found out to be the starter problem during work. Arto, the owner, acted nice and told me to be a quick fix on the phone. He rushed me to fix it with an overly priced offer or be charged with diagnostics fee, $90. First, he would tell me replacing it with my car's dealership's starter. Then, he told me replacing it with aftermarket one just after a few minutes. I would never ever go to this place again! In the end, he overcharged me more than $250 for the starter replacement and requested me to pay in cash or be paid in higher quote. Initially, I didn't know how much a regular starter replacement would cost and agreed. After some research, I realized I was scammed. I should not have rushed to make a decision while working just because I wanted my car to be fixed sooner. He promised the starter would last a year. After, I have to replace my starter myself soon since I got no proof of his 1 year warranty even I asked him to make a proof. He said: "Hey buddy. It'll last a year. No worries." I was in a hurry and left without thinking about it. Now, I see how dumb I was. Lesson learned. Like he said, he would not like to do favors but just for the money. His business is nothing but profits, no honesty and integrity."
