Dear Reader,
I've lived in Torrance for half my life and not one auto shop has given me a more fair treatment with reasonable rates than Able Auto.
Able Auto has treated me with the uttmost respect and straight forward attitude. They never gave me the run around on estimates and always gave me their professional recommendations when it came to the decisions for my cars. I've had a 1992 Geo Prizm from when I turned 16 years old (until I crashed it), a Nissan 200sx SER (until I crashed it =P), a Honda Civic EX 01 (until I sold it) and now my current cars Honda Civic 2007 and Acura TSX (I Love Them). I have brought each car to Able Auto, yes even the Geo Prizm, and they've taken care of all the usual maintenance and repairs for six years of my time driving.
Do you remember when the Nissan 200sx SER (Sentra) had an alternator problem with their 1995 - 1997 editions? Well I do! The damn car broke down on me so many times that I used up my entire years worth of AAA free towing! When the alternator first burnt out, I took my Nissan to Able Auto so they can work their magic. Before I knew it, the car was out of the shop and flying through the wind until the alternator burnt out again after a couple of months. I called them about my alternator and they told me to bring it in so they can take a look at it with no fuss or blame.
As they looked at the alternator they noticed it burnt out due to overheating from its close proximity to the car engine. With a little ingenuity, they replaced the alternator for FREE and placed a heat shield between the engine and the alternator so it wouldn't happen again. After that my car was good as new! I drove the car for another two years until I crashed it during a drunken night...that's another story -__-.
After that incident I never wanted to go to another auto shop again. After moving to Orange County I still drive 40 miles to Able Auto for maintenance and repairs. It's the only place I trust with my cars!
Sincerely,
Edward K.
Note:
Apparently Nissan started making their alternators with a lesser heat resistant metal to fit the newer models of their Sentra, however they forgot to tell the owners of the 1995 - 1997 models that their alternators would burn out in a few years! Oh their mistake? Yes it was!
Pros: Fast and efficient. They know what they are doing.
Cons: They need a new soda machine
