Lapsing maintenance on your car's fluid exchanges, dirty filters, bruised belts, and aging spark plugs can lead to bigger problems like busted-up radiators, slipping gear shifts, squealing brakes and/or engine failure. That's why routine maintenance is key to vehicle longevity and the true cost of vehicle ownership.
Your car's electrical system consists of the battery, starter, and alternator - plus all the systems that utilize the power provided by the battery. The battery provides juice to the starter. Then, the alternator gives that battery the energy it needs to power your car. If one of these parts is not working, your car won't start or run correctly.

The folks at the auto hospital did a professional job in a hero's time frame. My wheel hub bearing has never been so quiet. 😎 My boys absolutely enjoyed their experience as meeting the mechanics son gave them plenty to do! For those stuck in a situation you may not be sure hot to fix, DEFINITELY bring it to the auto hospital!

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this company due to a multitude of reasons. I brought my 89' truck in to get the AC system repaired. After Mike had the team do a diagnostics to it, he stated it would be $2,400 which I accepted to as it was needed.
He stated the service would take a full day and they would replace what was needed and build a new hose system for the truck.
At the end of day one, I called to check in he stated they would need it another day. This then, turned into four days. I had to pay for a rental truck to accommodate the time frame for work (I understand problems

Amazing service! Was able to leave my car there and walk back to my hotel by the airport. Left it there for a week for them to get to my repairs on their schedule. Got a call that it was done two days later and they parked it in front of the shop on the day I flew back in w/ my keys inside. Had my valet key w/ me to get in. 3 months ago, no problems since.

Don't bring your Chevy here!! I can't really speak about other brand cars, but we have three Chevys we have brought here in the last 3 months, and each time, we picked them up in worse condition than when we dropped them off.
One they kept for 5 days for a simple oil change, and we had to bring it back the day after we picked it up because they hadn't put something back correctly.
They broke the gear changer on another truck, even though that wasn't even an issue when we brought it in, and then the mechanic didn't take responsibility and wasn't going to cover the

Just picked up my Jeep after having the blend door actuator fixed on the drivers side that regulates whether or not I get heat or AC on that side of the car. By all accounts this should've been a really pricey fix because the dash needs to be dismantled and it's extremely hard to get to. I know, I tried to fix it myself. I took it in at 8am and they had it ready by noon!! The cost? A tad over $200!! They were friendly, called before they started the work, had the part on hand and the cost was more than fair and reasonable. I will definitely use them again if needed!!!

Over the years, every time I've had an auto air conditioner problem this has been my go to place. Tom and the gang have always treated me fairly and as a valued customer. This time when taking our car in for an air conditioner problem, I noted our vehicle was also due for an oil change and service so asked if they could also do the service as I delivered the car for the air conditioner problem, not expecting that they could squeeze in the service too, since it was four working days from when I called before I could get in for the air conditioner problem. They said they could do it and

They don't appear to repair. They swap out parts. Needed a slave cylinder replaced on A/C. They insisted on replacing the whole assembly. Much more expensive. Upcharged for parts.
We then needed a throttle body cleaned on same Ford. They claimed it had to be replaced. We took the car elsewhere as Ford has a manufacturers procedure for cleaning the throttle body but they only wanted to swap out parts and appear to upcharge selling parts.
They did not repair anything for us, just wanted to swap out for new parts which would meant they get a portion of part sales and labor.

Took my car here because of the good reviews. Wanted them to check out the AC system for leaks and maybe a recharge (no freon, previous owner disassembled the lines to replace the alternator) however, I didn't think they diagnosed it properly. Thinking they checked the compressor fuse, blower fan works on different speeds and injected leak detection dye when they pressurized the system. Was told no leaks found and compressor clutch has open circuit, needs new compressor (repair estimate of about $800). Got the car back after almost two hours (didn't think it'll take that long for

My 1991 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup needed the airconditioning looked at. I have dealt with American Auto Air in the past and was always happy with the quality of their work. As the truck is a 1991 I knew it used the older R12 refrigerant (not cheap). Tom called me with the diagnosis, i.e., low on refrigerant, bad switch and a o-ring. He was able to recover a pound of the R12 in the system, did the repairs needed and added the correct amount amount of R12. I've waited a few weeks to write this as I wanted to make sure it would not need to have a return visit. I am happy to say it's blowing

Seriously, better than I expected. These guys already have great reviews here and on Google, but here's my experience: F150 Truck, "FAIR" A/C performance. I explained the situation to Tom and he laid it all out for me - how the system works, the variables that make A/C systems decrease in performance, and what "normal" is and realistically what should be expected. Of course, one hates to hear that the mediocre performance they are getting from their newish vehicle is considered normal, but it was great to have a professional tell me, over the phone, for free, and not

Just a quickee. I needed freon added to my 2005 PT Cruiser but no "air conditioner check. I called American Auto on a Friday morning. They could do it on Monday but they charged $100.
Called The Auto Clinic. They could do it today, for $125.
Called Val Halla. They could do it Monday for $45
Gee, which did I call for an appointment?
