About
Here at Automotive Instincts®, we deliver the same quality work of a large dealership, but without the inflated prices. Our technicians have over 15 years experience repairing all makes and models, foreign or domestic?and we?re even certified to repair hybrids! No matter what kind of car you drive, we have the tools, training, and the know-how to get the job done right the first time.
We understand that a lot is riding on your relationship with your mechanic, and, we promise to be worthy of the trust you put in us. None of the negative stereotypes you?ve heard about mechanics will be confirmed by your experience at Automotive Instincts®. Unlike the bigger outfits, we treat you like a person. As a valued customer, you have the right to expect:
?HONEST, STRAIGHT-FORWARD COMMUNICATION. We?ll carefully explain, and visually show you, exactly what?s wrong with your car and how we can fix it. We won?t push work you don?t really need. If there?s more than one problem with your car, we?ll go through them and let you know which ones are the most important. Our small staff of well-trained mechanics are friendly, knowledgeable, and, above all, honest.
?QUALITY REPAIRS BY A.S.E. CERTIFIED MASTER AUTO TECHNICIANS. All of our work is 100% guaranteed with a no-loopholes, 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty on all repairs and parts. We have the equipment and the expertise to do any job and get it done quickly. Our small, tightly-knit repair team will allow you to get to know the person fixing your car. At Automotive Instincts®, our technicians are certified to work on all makes and models. We even have a Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician on staff, and our team is certified to work on hybrid cars as well.
?REPAIR OPTIONS THAT FIT YOUR BUDGET. Factory-made parts are high quality, but they?re also the most expensive. In many cases, generic or aftermarket brands can solve your car?s problem for a much smaller price tag. We know which brands are reliable, and we don?t buy inferior parts. If there?s a cheaper alternative that we know is reliable, we?ll always bring it to your attention. You can count on us giving you a range of repair options whenever possible. And whether you go with a factory-made part or a generic alternative, our 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty still applies.
?MECHANICS WHO WILL WORK AROUND YOUR SCHEDULE. We live close to the shop, and when necessary, we will come in early, or meet with you after hours?whatever it takes to get the job done. Our staff is small and efficient: we?ll get the work done, and we?ll do it in a reasonable amount of time. Our air-conditioned waiting room is equipped with TV, radio, and beverages. If there?s somewhere else in the local vicinity you?d rather wait, then we?ll take you there instead?and pick you up when your car is ready.
