Best auto shop and up-fitter I’ve ever used, hands down. Value, integrity, competence, timeliness, communication, I could go on.I was first introduced to American Automotive by my Ford dealer who promised Destri would take care of me better than they could - no joke. Destri picked up my new F450 and installed a bed cover, bed liner, winch, bumper, lights package, auxiliary tank, and larger diesel tank. His labor charge was way less than I expected, and it was completed incredibly fast with flawless workmanship. I had a couple minor adjustments (the fuel was not reading correctly due to the larger tank size). Took it into Ford and they said they could do nothing. Destri updated the firmware, works perfectly.Since that fantastic experience, I was completely sold and started using Destri exclusively for all my company and personal trucks, all with similar great experiences. I have used other upfitters on my company work trucks and I have almost always been frustrated with poor quality work, lies, long wait times, and excessive costs. I can’t believe I have finally found someone who does what they say.I moved to Kalispell but keep bringing my trucks back to American Automotive for work and plan to continue to do so. Great job guys!

Twice I've had to take my truck (2012 Ram 3500 Diesel) in for repairs this year and both times they were top notch and fixed the repairs correctly and timely. Neither times did I feel I was over charged! Everyone I have worked with there is professional. Book your appointment here with confidence!

I’d give 0 stars if I could. I paid to have my brakes done at this shop and after they were improperly installed leading to warped rotors they got the truck back in and “fixed” the problem. Now 5000 miles later I have to redo the brakes due to metal on metal damage to my rotors. The Owner would not even call me back regarding the is issue and the women on e phone stated that “there was no way to determine if it was their fault” and would not be willing to make the situation right. This shows a lack on quality work and integrity. Beware!!!Service: Auto brake repair

We have been customers for the past three years. I have yet to find a better mechanic in Livingston or Bozeman. I had Destri put new Interstate batteries in both of my cars. A year later one of them stopped holding a charge. He just swapped it out. Didn't ask questions, didn't run a bunch of tests. Made it really easy. They have always provided detailed quotes that are usually half of or less than dealerships and other shops and come in on price or lower. If they find another issue, they call and give an update and a quote. Sometimes they just fix little issues at no charge. Really honest and efficient folks. Always on time with the repairs. Its a family run business and they are always friendly. I am happy they are here in town!

Terrible customer service, brought my car in for the third time after purchasing it two months ago. Quoted me for 1,300 to replace shocks and control arm. I was told by them that “it was fine to drive for years”. You can hear noise on every bump in the road coming from the rear and they thought that was fine.

I have been going to American Automotive for several years now and I am very happy with their service. It's always a friendly environment and they will go out of their way to get your vehicle up and running at a reasonable price.

They are awesome. They found a problem that other places didn't even tried to find but didn't. The only problem is that no one answers the phone in the afternoon.

I couldn't get my glove compartment to close. I just drove into American automotive unannounced. BJ stopped what he was doing, and fixed it in two seconds, and wouldn't let me pay him! Great place. Great guy!

We needed a water pump while we were traveling. They took us right in, gave us a quote and came in under the quote. How amazing is that ?!Very nice people, very good service! We would highly recommend them.
