Auto Lab has been servicing both my personal vehicles and the fleets I've managed for nearly a decade, and they consistently exceed expectations. Having worked with other repair facilities in the past and faced numerous disappointments, discovering Jason and John's team was a breath of fresh air. They deliver on their promises with exceptional skill, completing work on time and resolving issues effectively. What sets Auto Lab apart is their unwavering commitment to quality. They stand behind their work, maintain outstanding communication, and hold themselves to the highest standards. Their customer-first approach is evident in every interaction. I've experienced firsthand how other shops and even dealerships failed to diagnose or troubleshoot problems effectively. Meanwhile, Jason and John's team excels at identifying and addressing issues without resorting to guesswork or racking up unnecessary diagnostic costs. I wholeheartedly recommend Auto Lab to everyone I know and can't imagine taking my vehicles anywhere else. They truly run like a well-oiled machine!

Besides doing excellent work on the regular & while my truck was getting exhaust sensors changed, I asked Jason if he could look at my tires & rims bc I'm losing about 8 lbs every 3 days. I have been to discount tire once and Belle tire in L. P. 3 times with the same negative results. They check the tire, clean up the rims & send you on your way. Plus they keep talking about getting new rims. Well these are in excellent condition. Anyways, Autolab found 4 faulty valve stems, changed them out and absolutely no air loss! Period! Another fantastic auto repair experience with Autolab! Thanks Jason

I was having an issue with my Jaguar and the place that had been doing my repairs could not figure it out. A friend told me to give these guys a shot. Thankfully I did. My car hasn't drove this well in a long time. A huge thank you to the whole team at Auto Lab!

Took my Jag here after the first car shop I went to couldn’t find what was wrong with my car. Auto-Lab did a pressure test and discovered I had two leaks in the coolant system. You can only get these parts from the dealer, the dealer had one specific part on back order and didn’t know when they would receive the part (thermostat housing unit). John did some digging and was able to find the part online. It was a little more than the dealer but I had no choice. After receiving the part they had the job done in 2 days. These guys are honest, fair, and does great work.

My son's vehicle broke down while picking his son up from summer camp. Auto-Lab came and towed the vehicle away the next day and had it diagnosed and fixed in about five days. The reason I had to give four stars and not five is because of the length of time it took to get the vehicle back. However, I understand that they are busy because they do a great job and are reasonably priced. I would suggest Auto-Lab for your repairs. Keep in mind it might take a few days, but they do a great job!

(Translated by Google) I have been here for repairs at more than five car repair shops! Peter used to deliver food and knew ten car repair owners. Every car repair shop has their strengths. My second-hand car was repaired here before. They knew me and they always repaired it very quickly. There was a problem with the AC fan. One day my car had an unstable idling speed and it cost thousands of dollars to repair. A lot of money. Not long after, I found that I couldn't pick up the speed. I went to a friend's garage elsewhere, and it only cost less than 200 US dollars to repair! As for my wife's car, it leaked oil last time and I spent a lot of money to repair it. Not long after, my wife started driving and the brakes completely failed! Fortunately, she pulled the handbrake. I called AAA tow truck. Go to another shop to repair the brake oil leakage problem, and then My car repair friend asked me to sell my wife's car to the garage for $600, and I bought her a brand new SUV. This car manufacturer needs to work hard, enrich its professional skills, and be more careful! The owner's service is great! Four stars. But I apologize, only Samsung can repair the car. From now on, I have excluded the car factory here. (Original) 我來這邊修過,五家修車廠以上! Peter 以前送餐 認識十家 修車老闆。 每家修車廠,都有他們的強項。 我的二手車子,曾經在這邊修復,他們知道我,總是很快速的修復,有修復AC風扇的問題,有一天我的車子怠速不穩,花了上千美金,很多錢修復。 過了沒多久,出現速度拉不上來,我到了另外,朋友的修車廠,只花了不到200美金修復! 而我老婆的車子,上次漏油,花了很多錢修復,過沒多久,我老婆開車,煞車完全失效! 還好,她拉動了手煞車。我Call AAA拖車。 到另外一家,修復煞車漏油的問題,之後 我修車朋友,叫我把我老婆的車子賣給車廠 600美金,而我買了全新的SUV給她。 這家車廠,要努力的,充實專業技能,需要更細心! 業主服務,人是不錯!四星。 但是報歉了,修車大概只有三星。 從此以後,這邊車廠,已經被我排除。

After going to multiple dealerships and shops over the last year in regards to my check engine light I’ve had my engine and generator replaced. Right when I get home the check engine light comes back on. Every. Time. I have a hybrid Malibu so it’s a bit complicated and not even the local Chevy dealership could figure out what the core problem was. They have all even said they did a safety diagnosis on it too. John and his team here figured out the problem quickly(hybrid fan) and then with their safety check were able to let me know about the other issues my car has and I’m what order of importance to address them. They worked with my after market warranty company, they even were going to get ahold of them to help me get a rental car through the warranty too. John kept me up to date with the entire process, spoke to me respectfully even though I’m a female unlike the other dealerships like the auto-lab in canton. They save me money and time, and who knows how bad things could of gone if they didn’t catch everything they did with my car. I will always come back here for any repairs with this car and future cars. Highly recommended them!!!

I have been going to auto lab for about 5 years now. They do a good job everytime . Me and my wife have been bringing our cars here for many years.. if you looking for a mechanic you can trust to tell you the truth each and every time . Update memorial Day weekend 2023. Still the best auto mechanic place I've ever been to they are very knowledgeable they take care of business and most importantly they tell you the truth You may think it's a big job and then they'll say hey it's really this and it may save you a thousand bucks if you understand what I'm trying to say. In these days and times it's rare to find a real shop that will tell you the truth that's a big deal for me these guys are all right and I will continue to do business with them for many many years Thank you auto lab appreciate you guys..

I am so pleased with these guys at Auto Lab!! They are so honest in diagnosing your vehicle. My van was leaking oil and it turned out that the filter that they had installed 2 weeks previously had a small pin hole which was causing the oil to leak and cause it to smoke like crazy! Now they could have been dishonest and said it was due to a bad head gasket or oil pan gasket and charged me through the nose like some of these other car repair shops. Travis at Auto lab and all the other mechanics there are the best honest mechanics around!! I will never go to another repair shop as long as they are in business!!!!!!!!!!!!
