- CPClaudia Pico6 days ago5.0This place is absolutely amazing. The staff are kind and treat you well. I came in and saw comfy chairs for the guests to sit in. A Roku tv is available for guests to pick whatever show/movie they’d like to watch. I came in expecting to get a new set of tires, because I had a flat tire. They helped take off my spare and checked my tire for any damages. Turns out there wasn’t any. The air was just knocked out of it. The gentleman at the front desk and Eric, who I spoke with on the phone, treated me with respect and were honest. Wonderful service. I would come here again.
- BEBrittany EilandNov 28, 20255.0Jack and the guy at the front were so helpful! We were on our way back to Texas trying to beat a blizzard when our van started to overheat. They were able to get the van back up and running n an hour and had us on our way. 10/10 stand up guys
- JJjessicaNov 20, 20255.0these guys will do anything for you! I came in wednesday night to figure out an oil leak and these guys stayed after hours for me! no other shops will put this much dedication!
- GAgreg adkinsNov 20, 20251.0This place is a ripoff, I went in to get 2 side post battery bolts because they was stripped,they went ahead and replaced only 1 of them without quoting me a price and said okay your ready to go and charged me 62 dollars for just 1 bolt,they did not do the job right,both bolts needed replaced!,and you should never do any work on a customer's car before you give them a price on what it's going to cost them,so they did not do that and they did not replace both bolts and they charged me 62 dollars for a 3 dollar bolt that took 2 minutes to replace,what a joke!!!,I will never go to any car x again!!!
- CSCaylene SwearnginNov 19, 20255.0I have been taking my cats to Altoona Car-X for years. They have always been honest and really great to work with for my vehicle. I appreciate that they talk through everything with me, give me recommendations, and get everything done in a timely manner.
