“Took Honda in for service. Mike and the team at Car Care are the best. They will do what needs to be done, make sure everything else checks out okay, and charge a reasonable price for their excellent service. Love these guys…”
“We were living on a prayer with our old tires. Wes and his team welcomed us in, gave my grandson a fidget spinner for entertainment and had a brand new set of tires on our suburban in about 40 minutes! He was so kind and even accepted our payment over the phone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“These guys are heroes! I'am new to Birmingham and got a flat downtown, which was pretty stressful. I pulled in here, and the team was immediately amazing.
Alex and Danny were super friendly, got me right in, and were clearly very knowledgeable. While they patched my tire, they even took the time to explain in detail how the patch works. I've never had a shop do that! Even with that great explanation, I was still out the door in less than 15 minutes.
The best part? When I went to pay, they said it was on the house as a goodwill gesture. I was blown away. What a perfect example of true Southern Hospitality! Honest, kind, and fast.
I'm never going to a big chain center again. This is my new go-to spot, and I'll be sending all my friends and family here for anything car-related. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve been dealing with the guys over at PTL Auto for over 10 years and I want let anyone else touch my cars they’re honest have reasonable prices and an great at what they do I recommend all my family and friends to those guys best shop in Alabama”
“We traveled from Maryland for the Thanksgiving holiday and needed some work done on our Volvos prior to driving back home. The owner Alex, waited for us to arrive although it was near to their closing time. Once we arrived he was efficient and knowledgeable about our cars. Repaired the Volvos and made sure sufficient air was in our tires in record breaking time. We drove back to Maryland without any issues. Great place with exceptional service! If we lived near Birmingham Alex at GTech would be our only mechanic!! Two thumbs UP!!”
“I took my newly purchased 328i in today, and the owner was friendly and honest about my belt needing to be replaced eventually, but mentioned that it is not urgent. He fixed rear lights, which he mentioned didn’t work because of a bad ground connection. The price was reasonable for my oil change and lights!”

“Great customer service. Very prompt, direct and honest with their communication and quotes. They were able to schedule me very quickly and performed the work in an extremely timely manner. Furthermore, they provided detailed documentation on the work performed, as well as the issues with the transmission which was replaced. They turned what was looking like a month or more of a headache with the dealership into less than a week. I will absolutely use this shop again for other automotive services, not just transmission work.”
“I can’t thank these folks enough!! I was impressed by their detailed reports and estimates that included pictures and full descriptions of services!! They were so kind and patient with me and were willing to do whatever they could to help me get the issues resolved… and believe me it was a whole debacle!! Big thanks to EJ for being so helpful when dealing with the warranty company, the car dealer, and me!!”

“My son's car broke down on Campus. I called Chase after 10 pm and I'm so thankful he was able to meet my son, diagnosed the problem and got his car running again. 5 stars all away around!”
“M&B transmissions are the most honest mechanics we have encountered in years. My 2019 Toyota Avalon had been serviced by 2 local
Toyota dealers who have probably robbed us for years. We always ended up paying more than recommended service when we took our car in. After being told that our car needed a new transmission ($10000) or we could trade it in on a new vehicle, we had had enough. I told them my car had NEVER had any transmission slipping or missing until they did a flush that was recommended. M&B diagnosed my car and reset the computer codes and said they found nothing else wrong with the car. We have been driving the car for a week now with no trouble. And they charged NOTHING. That is honesty and we will be going to them for all your repairs from now on.”

“Had tires put on and alignment done. Made appointment was their at 8:30am they had it done by 10:00am I drove to Illinois it was perfect! First time there. Nice place”
“I have only used Jim & Jim's Body Shop once at the recommendation of a former co-worker. I went there after calling because my driver side mirror was broken off. Instead of paying lots of money to have it replaced, they simply glued it back on. This didn't last very long unfortunately, but longer than having duct tape on my car. I eventually had to have the whole mirror replaced, but overall I was pleased with the work they did.
I didn't find the business rude by any means. They were a courteous staff, and got to work on my car as quickly as they could. I'm soon to have future body work needed on my car due to a car accident, and I'm considering using Jim & Jim's again because they are close to home, and I had a pleasurable experience during my last visit.”

“Mr. James repaired my elderly vehicle plus he discovered a way to reduce the original repair estimate about 50 percent. That enabled me to buy the new tires my car needed.”
“The team that AJ Fink has put together at Christian Brothers is simply outstanding.
It’s great Service, from trusted advisors.
I have thought in the past, I had issues only to be told more than once that my car did not need a repair. Who else does that??
I am a relationship person. I try and develop relationships With people that I do business with.
I trust this team and this operation at the highest level.
I highly recommend Christian Brothers and AJ Fink in his team to any and everyone.”

“HANDS DOWN THE BEST EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD WITH A SHOP!
We flew to Atlanta Georgia from TX to pick up a truck and drive it home. On the way home it over heated. The tow company we used recommended J&S Fleet Services to us. They have been nothing but absolutely amazing. They diagnosed the problem same day, had parts ordered & have been in constant communication with us every step of the way! They were even so kind as to recommended a near by hotel & give us a ride there since we were now with out transportation.
The only complaint we have is that they are so far away from us because we would love to use them in the future!
Thankyou to the entire team for all your time & effort to get us back up & running!”
“I was recommended to Chip and his team by a good friend — and I’m glad I gave him a call. We took the truck for a test drive to track down the real issue, and it turned out the long-term fix was going to be an upgraded transmission. Chip ordered it on the spot and had me keep my truck until it arrived about a week later. Once I dropped it off, they had the new transmission installed and ready within 24 hours. Straight-up advice, a very fair price & good people that will treat you right!”

“Love this car repair shop. Mr. Bennett is consistently trying to save me money. All of the guys at the shop are awesome at their jobs. Bottom line. I trust Mr. Bennett.”
“Great service and fast repair!
I brought my truck in and they fixed the issue very quickly. Super professional team and great customer service. Definitely recommend!”
“I love this place; I was having problems with my buick and couldn't find out what was wrong. Two other shops just took my money and the car still has the same problems but Hanvey took the time to find the real problem and made sure it was the real problem before getting paid.
Thank you all for helping me with my car.
Sincerely; Patricia”
“A Mixed Experience: Good Intentions, Inconsistent Results
I’m writing this review with genuinely mixed feelings. While the staff at AMMCO—particularly Mike (regional manager) and Brian (manager)—have been incredibly sweet and clearly want customers to be satisfied, my experience with the actual service work has been deeply frustrating.
I originally came to AMMCO in late December/early January for transmission work, which was completed successfully. However, what followed has been a continuous cycle of issues that’s left me confused and concerned about the thoroughness of their inspections.
The Pattern of Missed Issues:
Within a week of the transmission repair, I noticed strange sounds and brought my car back for inspection. They found nothing. Shortly after, I discovered my ball joints and tie rod ends were completely gone—something that should have been caught during their inspection. I had to go to Mavis for those repairs, where they also informed me I was out of brakes front and back. I understand AMMCO specializes in transmissions and engines, but I’m confused how these major safety issues weren’t flagged when they had just thoroughly checked my vehicle.
A week later, my air conditioning completely failed. AMMCO inspected it but found nothing wrong. An AC specialist later told me the repair was more complex than a simple fix, requiring extensive work.
The Oil Change Saga:
During a follow-up transmission check, I was told I was completely bone dry on oil—despite having had an oil change just months prior. They performed an oil change, but within a month, I was bone dry again and had to add oil myself repeatedly. When I finally had it checked elsewhere months later, Express Auto immediately found a major leak that “whoever did your oil change should have caught.”
When I called AMMCO about this, they acknowledged they’d had a problematic technician who wasn’t doing his job properly. Mike worked with me to make things right, and they fixed the leak. I genuinely appreciated this and left a positive review as requested.
The Final Straw:
One day after driving away from that repair, my check engine light came on. AutoZone detected a misfire on cylinder 9 related to the fuel pump—located right near where they’d just been working. When I called to ask about it, I didn’t speak with Mike or Brian, but rather someone (possibly a technician) who was dismissive and somewhat hostile. He essentially told me it wasn’t their problem, that my car is older (it’s a 2015 with a brand new transmission and nearly everything replaced), and that things just happen. His attitude was shocking after everything I’d been through.
My Bottom Line:
I’ve spent approximately $8,000 at this facility. Mike and Brian are genuinely kind people who seem to care, and there’s a real “back country” feel where they want you to be happy. However, I’m concerned about the consistency and thoroughness of the actual mechanical work. The pattern of major issues being missed during inspections, followed by problems appearing immediately after service, is troubling.
I’ll return only because I have a lifetime warranty on my transmission, but I won’t be using them for other services. I hope they now have better technicians in place who perform thorough inspections and that customers aren’t met with defensiveness when they raise legitimate concerns.”
“I’ve been searching for a trusted place in Birmingham to take my vehicles and finally found Riverchase Automotive. Donny and his team got me in quick and took care of a sizable coolant leak on my 4Runner. They took care of several other issues and made me feel like family.
Look no further. Trust the guys at Riverchase Auto”
