Editorial review from Citysearch 5/23/2013

Had car towed there Thursday after making an appointment and she couldn't find it in the computer so that was a hassle. IT IS a high end shop that being said they will charge you 90 dollars just to look at your car for their ""Full Diagnostic Repair"" They did not even bring the car inside the garage! They looked at it outside with a machine for 10 minutes and determined that the engine was seized, okay good we found the problem. Now we ask him if he thinks it is worth fixing? He says he doesn't know because this is the first time he has looked at the car. Okay we just paid you $90 to evaluate it and provide a list of repairs. Did we get one? No. SO BE WARY IT IS JUST A QUICK $90 FOR THEM WITHOUT REALLY DOING WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL. You don't get a list or anything. I think they were just really busy that weekend, but they should say that they are not taking cars at this time or something not charge us full price for a 10 minute check, partially my fault also, I should have brought it to a free inspection shop. But we saw all the rave reviews and decided to try it out. For the engine it was either new or scrap yard with 45 day warranty? Um no thanks. Bruce was nice enough. The real problems begin with trying to take the car back home! The secretary calls me tuesday morning saying if the car is not removed from the lot we will be charged a storage fee because they don't have a big lot, which is true. But I feel like we just brought the car there considering they are not open weekends. Okay we still had not decided what we wanted to do with it at this point because they didn't get back to us until late on Friday and we wanted to talk more to him on monday about our options. SO at this point we are all stressed out about getting it back and not paying the fee. So we go there to find maybe 3 cars on the lot including ours! Yeah they really need the space! We call AAA and they have to get approval from the shop before taking it off their property. So they call and then the secretary says she is out of state and doesn't know what going on! It was after hours but it transfers to her cell apparently! So after driving all the way out there we can't even get it back because she doesn't know anything about it! Like if we paid the $90. Which we did. So basically she threatens us with a fee then won't let us take our car back. They close at 5 and I get out of work at 430. Finally later in the week they let us get it towed without a fee. But what a hassle to get OUR car back! Bad communication between everyone there! Then I sent them his review postcard back and never got my $20 coupon he said I would get for completing the review not that I would have used it anyway. But just another example of how they don't really care about your time or money. Unless you are a loyal customer, family or friends I wouldn't recommend it because they will not treat you with any respect or decency. more

Best Shop in town!! 7/25/2011

I love Ervines! There is no way that I will ever take my car anywhere else. Jamie is always smiling when I walk in the door and asks how my kids are doing and makes sure I get a nice cup of coffee. Eric and Bruce are wonderful. For years they have always explained exactly what is wrong with my car in terms that I, someone who has no clue about how cars works can understand. I never leave confused or unhappy. Ervines is the greatest, I would and do recommend them to all my family and friends! more

Good work at an honest price. They treat women great!!! 11/8/2008

These people are wonderful. I have been there a few times and they have my buisness for life. I was told be another show that I needed over $3000 of work done to my car. They looked at it and put things in order of importance so I could decide how much ""I"" wanted to spend. My car is running great and I feel safe, with my car and with Ervine's. They treated me like a friend, not just a woman that doesn't know anything. more
