On our way home, we had an expected problem happen, leaving us on the side of the road. These guys (James and Rusty) got us in and all fixed up before they closed! They are very professional and helped us in a extreme time of need! Thank you so much!

ALMAR was highly recommended to me by a friend, and my experience there exceeded my expectations! They were helpful, communicative, kind, and fast with my car service, and pricing was extremely fair and transparent. I would absolutely go back and will be recommending them to everyone!

Ive been to this shop two times while living in Charlotte dealing with some check engine lights, its the only local shop I would bring my car to besides a dealership (which is way more expensive). They are honest, fast, have great customer service and are very reasonable on prices. I will always go there for any car needs and highly recommend them based off of the interactions Ive had.

I called about getting 4 new tires for my vehicle because my tires started to bald. It was because of an alignment issue. Frank let me know it would be around $750 out the door which I thought was a good price. However, after the work was finished, the total came out to nearly $900. Don't tell someone one thing if you do another. Then, they told me to come back in 4 months for another alignment because the issue was so severe. If you fixed the issue, why would you need another alignment 4 months later? No thanks. Although the car is running smoothly, I won't be back because lack of trust.

My second time with ALMAR. The first was a few years ago when I was selling a motorhome and the buyer arranged a pre-sale inspection here. It went well.
This visit was to replace the starter on my little Pontiac. I used Yelp to find a provider and ALMAR was the most responsive. Not the cheapest but the final price was only 10% above the estimate they provided online. I'm pleased with the service though not so much the cost. Anyway, a good solid repair.
