Consumer Reports recommends finding a highly skilled & honest independent mechanic to maintain your car. The problem for all of us is is, how do you find one? My advice ? believe the feedback from City Service - I have no motive except wanting others to give me similar honest feedback! I tell you that A-Len Automotive IS that competent, honest (and well priced) independent mechanic that will free you from the tyranny of the Dealership! When my 10 year old Volvo began having the air conditioner work only sporadically, 3 visits to the Dealership produced a diagnosis of ??.the computer diagnostics show there is no problem .? Desperate, I took the recommendation of a fried and went to A-Len. With a level of personal concern and an unrelenting commitment to customer satisfaction, they worked on the problem unceasingly for several days until the problem fully occurred in their shop. They then bought me a used part on the Internet, installed it and made sure it worked perfectly. I?m finally free! After ten years of Dealership overcharging, performing unnecessary work & check-ups (I used to maintain my own cars 30 years ago when you could work on them), I have found that superb ?independent mechanic.? These are the folks!
