  Excellent service and quality. They treat me with respect and take care of my car very well. They do a full inspection and tell you everything that needs repairing, which was wonderful to know. I highly reccomend this shop!

  This is my first time at Southside Auto. Diagnostics had to be done on my car, I was worried it was the transmission but it wasn’t! The results of the diagnostic came right to my phone so I could look at it and approve the repairs. Everyone here is very professional, trustworthy, and courteous. I will definitely return for future auto repairs.

  Sold me a lemon car. Assured me everything was in good standing and had had nothing but trouble out of it since I bought it. Have had to replace the tires, transmission, alternator and battery. Idk about their auto repairs but I wouldn’t buy a used car from them.

  Chris refused to fix our 2003 truck for what it was coding for…which was he claimed was an injector for cylinder six-spark plug unless we paid for 3 other items that cost 4 thousand dollars. We had already had it diagnosed and knew what the code was. We explain to him that we were only interested in getting that one thing fixed due to our truck being 24 years old and we were not interested in fixing everything that it needed. We only drive it once in a while to take our dog By by in. He tried to blackmail us & force us to fix other issues instead of what we took our truck there for!!! Their prices are more than what a dealership would charge. Chris knew we needed to get the issue fixed that we took our truck over there for or it could cause it to damage the converter I’m driving it the way it is, but he didn’t care. He charged us a fee which it doesn’t say on receipt what it was for plus the diagnostic charge which was almost $190.00 much higher than most other places. Do not trust this place @ all. Check repair pricing at other shops & you will be surprised at how much higher this place is. We were recommended to this place because a man named Jorge work there. Chris said he moved. They are hiring so not sure about their well trained mechanics!!! I don’t appreciate you under-minding my intelligence with your response. We most certainly did NOT discuss a complete truck checkup. When you mentioned it, both my husband & I explained that the truck was 24 yrs old & we only wanted to fix what it was coding for & I called out the code to you & you recognized the code. We told you we were not interested in having the entire truck diagnosed. We had already had the truck diagnosed the day before at another place that recommended us to you. You said you understood. We have had numerous people including shop owners to laugh or get angry when we told them how you refused to fix what we brought our truck in for, unless we had other things fixed. It was NOT your decision to make!!! If I had known you were going to blackmail me, I would’ve had an undercover lawyer with me as a witness. One shop owner told us that would be the same as if you took your daughter to the doctor for a broken arm and the doctor refused to fix her arm unless you let him admit your daughter to the hospital in order to check every part of her body, because it was too much of a risk to just fix her arm and release her from the hospital without knowing if her entire body was working correctly. Our daughter is grown & over 30 yrs of age, but when she was young and cheerleading, she did break her arm and we did take her to the hospital. They never offered to blackmail us like that, they fixed her arm and released us from the hospital. You must have pulled this on a lot of people to have the good reviews that you have on here because you sure did not do us right as a human or legally according to the law. You have done this so often that you think that you can get away with it with every customer that comes in your shop. People should be weary of you Chris & the shop!!!
