Slifer Motor Works INC

Slifer is great. Mr. Slifer is a determined man who never gives up at finding a problem. The staff is fantastic. They are all part of the family. The work done on my car is always A++ My car is always fixed properly instead of the cheaper ways that previous mechanic did. Mr. Slifer goes above and beyond to diagnose, and properly fix my car and he will do the same to you I am very happy with Slifer. more

Starting July 5, 2010, an individual who wasted our precious time with nonsense phone calls (13 times in one day) began posting false stories and comments on this and other websites under many different fake aliases. This person has been recognized by our shop and other local shops as someone who is a difficult customer and impossible to be please. Two days prior to July 5th, this individual was asked to take their business elsewhere because of these reasons. Slifer Motor Works is a 20 year old family owned business that is known by its 1700+ loyal clients for its integrity, knowledge, high quality work, friendly nature and personable staff. It is value, not price, that we use as our business philosophy. It is this reason we service an array of high-end cars, do 100 point restorations of all types of vintage cars, and do insurance collision work on all of our client-based cars. Our service staff, with its 140 combined years of experience, has been praised locally ever since its inception. Citysearch has been notified of this problem and has refused to control irate posters such as this individual. It is hard to believe that a supposedly legitimate website such as this one cannot control its own content (makes them illegitimate and have zero credibility). All negative posts on this site are untrue and written by the same person during the same time frame. None of the names or cars listed are found in our database. Until Citysearch chooses to resolve this issue, we will continue to post this after every negative comment. Thank you. Joe Slifer President Slifer Motor Works, Inc. more

I payed to get my window replaced and they installed it but it leaked and they never fixed the problem, they always give me the run around. I just decided to call someone else and get it done right.? Don't go there. more

One of the worst shops in town -- especially for high performance vehicles! Although the shop owner may have a 'little' experience, the people that work for him and actually do the work know nothing about cars!? Horror! more

I can't believe that anyone would be satisfied with them. I was VERY DISSATISFIED. I would NEVER let them service my car again. They don't have the knowledge neither the tools to do any job right. They are dishonest and very expensive. more

I can't believe all the bull**** that I read on here. I've been a VERY SATISFIED customer for years. I have 8 high end cars. These guys are the only ones I would ever let service them. They have all of the knowledge and the tools to do any job right...the first time. They are extremely honest. They are not the cheapest and do not want to be. They don't deal with bargain shoppers, tire kickers, people wanting price quotes from 10 shops for an oil change, or any of that crap. People continue to go to SMW because they want quality, value and integrity. They don't advertise, and yet have been very successful for 20 years...and they keep growing! They let the quality of their work do the advertising. And if you are into restorations....WOW. There is some talent behind these doors. A true treasure on the mainline. more

They NEVER pick up the phone and NEVER respond. Don't waste your time with Slifers Sniffers. There are other very reliable shops in area to use. Call D'AVICO AUTO REPAIR. They are great!!!! Excellent service and 100% satisfaction! You won't regret it! more

I have been taking my vehicle to Slifer for 2 years and have spent over 10000 dollars the last two years. After I kept having the same problem with the ac I kept taking it back. Big mistake! After the 4th trip back I found out that they contract their work out to other shops. I was not happy they get another shop to do the work and then they charge you more so they can make a profit off of some other shops work???!!! STAY AWAY FROM Slifer Motor Works! more

When is this Bimmer doctor guy going to stop his ranting?? Same name all over the place-anywhere a review can be written. We haven't had an 85 MG in for a couple of years. If the fabricated story was true, why wouldn't you have your car towed to your own mechanic in the first place? Why do other shops call us for help with all their difficults problems that they can't figure out? Because we're the best on the mainline, have all the latest scanners and equipment and true car lovers know it. We fix problems that others can't, and our honesty is well-known. Slink away and get over the rejection. Pros: The best around Cons: Not one more

Based on a friend's recommendation I took my audi in. He had it for 5 days. Never gave me a quote and ordered parts I had not approved. These guys are NOT detail oriented and miss small and large things such as not tightening my rear shock and not replacing nuts on my air cleaner. They have an attitude and I will NEVER go back and CAN NOT recommend them. Thanks! Cons: Many things more

I drive a 1985 MB. When my car died near my office I decided to take it here. HUGE MISTAKE! After a week they finally told me they needed to change both my fuel pumps for over 1200 dollars! I didn't let him touch it. Then they tried to charge me a few hundred bucks for the time they spent on it - when initially they had told me $150 for diagnosis. After towing my car to my reg. mechanic I found there was nothing wrong with my fuel pumps it was cheap fix vacuum leak. I paid money for a WRONG diagnosis from this place. If you have money that you like to throw away, and don't need your car in timely manner, and don't mind paying for work that doesn't need to be done - by all means this is the shop for you - ALL OTHERS STAY CLEAR! Pros: Nothing Cons: Everything more

Slifer Motor works is the best. Slifer is the most professional mechanic that I have ever used & he knows cars, especailly high-end cars, like no one else. I would not take my car to any one else. Every problem that I have had he has listened to me and has been able to find and fix. He is very patient. Most other people would have just given up if a problem was not glaring, but Slifer is trusting of the car owner's identification of a problem. He always calls me back and provides a very detailed explanation of the problem and what needs to be fixed, or not. He never takes advantage of a situation and is very honest and direct. Slifer has gone out of his way to help me with car advice, and advice not even related to the car which was being serviced. I can't wait for the warranty on my new car to expire so I can bring my car back to Slifer. Pros: Knows cars inside and out more

Dr Bimmerfan Argyris must have caught an HIV virus. He needs to develop a vaccine for bitterness. I don't deal with someone who I spend a lot of time with, who then becomes picky and criticizing and waits 6 months to obessively contact me to do the job - can't even remember you by then. What a waste of my time. It's great that I have the ability to smell out and not accept obsessed people trying to get into my shop because we have such a great reputation for repairing high-end cars. I don't deal with bitter people who can never be pleased. This Doctor's criticizing nature is known within the auto industry. Beware if you do a job for him! Pros: 40 years of excellent service more

I would strongly not recommend him. Sweet talker, initially polite and friendly but he will not deliver. He will not respond neither return phone calls. Initially he will accept to do the job but you may not hear back from him. He picks his customers. If you ask uncomfortable technical questions, or if you want to clarify the charges or estimate he may drop you. He is unprofessional and unreliable. Do not go there! You will waste your time. Pros: Polite and friendly Cons: Hypocrite and liar more
