A-1 Automotive and Repair Transmission Service

"This is now Johnsons Repair. I highly recommend this shop. I trust all of my vehicles with them. Truly honest, family owned and operated. Always greatly with a smile and treated great."

"Great staff and respectable owner. Always been very honest and upfront with me. Have brought 3 different vehicles there and left with a perfect running car. Little pricy but it’s definitely worth it. When i brought my new Lexus in they were able to diagnose the problem in 2 days and were honest when they said they couldn’t work on it. It sure of the reasoning but still appreciate what they do for me."

"I’m posting this for all the women like me who know little to nothing about cars. THIS IS A PLACE YOU CAN TRUST!!! And I am so grateful to have found them. My first experience with them was over a year ago I believed I needed a new alternator and new brakes. According to them all I needed was a new battery and my brakes needed a little cleaning, which they did, which was SO much cheaper and over a year later I’ve had no problems with either. They really earned my trust and I knew I would return to them whenever possible. Fast forward to this week. My automatic has been having difficulty shifting into higher gears so I called to ask some questions. Not only was Justin very thorough and patient on the phone talking through the symptoms but later that day he surprised me by calling to give me potential estimates depending on how I might want to proceed. What is special about that is he wanted me to know that this repair might be speedy enough to consider looking for a new vehicle instead of getting the work done. But he emphasized multiple times that the first step would be to stop in when I could to have it test driven. Today I did just that. Even though I spoke with Justin a week ago he remembered my first name after just saying I spoke with him about possible transmission problems. He said to wait a couple minutes and Bruce would take my car for a drive. Within minutes Bruce has my car hooked up to his diagnostic tool and was explaining things to me in a way I could understand. It was quite awhile into the diagnostic before I discovered that Bruce is the owner! And it is no wonder this shop operates the way it does. The owner is 100% involved and he is such a knowledgeable, caring, thorough and honest man. He probably spent 30 minutes driving my car with me (over the lunch hour!!!) and he ultimately drew the same conclusion as Justin did over the phone. That this would be a spendy repair and that my particular vehicle probably isn’t worth that investment. He also explained that what I have going on is more of a nuisance than anything and with a few tricks I could get by indefinitely. And after ALL that he charged me nothing for his time and wished me the best. My father (my lifetime mechanic) passed away 4 years ago and I know how happy he is looking down knowing there are people like Bruce and Justin and places like A-1 who will give the same care, advice and service one would give to their own daughter. If possible I will never take my vehicle to any other place and I would recommend A-1 to EVERYONE! Thank you folks for your honesty and expertise."

"This shop does good business and is incredibly fair. I had another shop blame them for an error THEY actually made. Bruce "made it right" when it wasn't even their fault and followed up with the other shop owner personally (Matt's automotive....DO NOT go there unless you have you wallet ready and like unfair business practice)!! I will not take my vehicle anywhere but A1 again!!"
