This day and age it’s nice to deal with a shop that is honest at a fair price. I used to deal with another shop near jiffy lube and I can tell you no comparison. pasadena17 ROTELLA30 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I added oil and within 10 mi. it was on again. I pulled in to America 1st and asked them to take a look. They were busy but within a short time my car was up, inspected, serviced and I was on my way. The staff was great and provided us more than a few laughs while we waited..Thank you! James Booker13 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Your business appears to be very good based on the reviews. Continues success. I had an issue with one of the Repair Pal certified shops in Delaware. The repair estimate on Repair Pal was $301 to $345 to replace my spark plugs. The shop had a big Repair Pal certified sign on their establishment office window. When I reported to the office, they quoted me over $800 for the repair. (Included was the cost for 8 spark plugs for $57 each, when the auto supply store across the street was selling them for $18.) I showed them the Repair Pal estimate, and they told me that Repair Pal doesn't set prices in their shop. In addition, they quoted me an additional $150 to remove any spark plug that break. When I reached out to Repair Pal, their response was as follows: The response from Repairpal.com today by Chimene Navarro was as follows: "...our shops are expected to honor our estimator, yes, but they don't need to do work with a customer if they choose not to for personal reasons." What personal reason?? All I did was walk into the shop and asked to have my spark plugs changed. In fact, the service advisor was pleasant and very professional. My response to Chimene was: "WOW, I wonder if personal reasons include skin color, color of my shirt, or walking with a limp. Have they heard about a thing called "Discrimination"? I was shocked by her response. BUYERS BEWARE!!! In addition to that the shop has a contract with Repair Pal to honor the estimates. I read the contract and there is no clause that says what she communicated to me. Based on this exchange, it appears that Repair Pal does not honor their contract with us or enforce it with their shops. She also accused me of being aggressive in my emails to her, which was strange because all I did was question her response. Consumers Beware and shops take note that your certification may not be as binding as you think. You don't have to honor estimates for personal reasons.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
