First thing I noticed. Shop was as clean as an auto dealership repair shop. Dealt with Bill. Excellent customer service. They did a vehicle inspection along with the needed repairs. Prices were fair. I would highly recommend them.

Best quality work, but most importantly no lies or misleading...100% trustworthy. So worth the pricing, which I've found to be very competitive.

My family has taken our cars to 4th Street Auto for many years. The care and quality they put into their work is unmatched. For example, the staff helped rescue a kitten from under the hood of a car while I was getting my oiled changed recently. They not only care for their customers, but are happy to help out a fury friend as well. Highly recommend! :)

This place is AMAZING! Seriously, I first found them when my car's brakes were making a horrible noise. Bill was wonderful and did some diagnostics for me same day, but then pointed out it was an issue caused by the dealership and won't take my money. Fast forward to present day I purchased a van and it needed an oil change and I asked them to add an inspection, it was so detailed. I got the brakes replaced and a coolant flush. The shop was able to do all the work and have it back to me in a few days even though I told them it was low priority. I can't recommend them enough.

Fourth Street Auto is the only place I trust with my vehicles. Whether it’s general maintenance or a major repair, their service is second to none, and I drive away knowing the job has been done right by expert mechanics, using quality parts and no short cuts. Honest, trustworthy, and dependable business. I highly recommend Fourth Street Auto for a job done right!

I stopped in this morning because I had a loose headlight and I'm about to turn in a lease vehicle. They were kind, looked at it right away, and were amazing to work with.

Place is clean, small but comfortable waiting space with coffee. Great website. Nice staff. I'm definitely glad I checked them out and will be frequenting for my future vehicle needs!

4th Street Auto is the only place I will take any of my vehicles ever!! I consider the owner, Bill, to not only be a genius mechanic but also a truly good and honest person. My husband and I and our daughter have had many occasions to have a vehicle serviced by 4th Street Auto and have never been charged anything above what is a normal and reasonable rate and also the repairs have been right on target and perfectly executed...Bill always gets back with us in a timely fashion regarding the status of our repairs and the cost of the repair. He and his auto repair are the best and they will continue

I highly recommend 4th Street Auto Care because they're honest, provide good customer service, and perform excellent work at reasonable prices.

I drove into 4th Street Auto Care this morning with the undercarriage of my Acura TSX ripped back after a night of slaloming through the snow and ice. Bill took my car in right away without an appointment and repaired it while I waited. They did a great job, were honest, communicated about what went wrong, and explained how they repaired it, all in about 20 minutes.

I brought my car to them once before for an oil change / scheduled maintenance, and

I'm not typically one to leave reviews, but felt I had to after my experience with 4th Street Auto Care. Rick and his team made my experience as easy as possible from beginning to end. They are attentive, detail oriented, and incredibly honest. I cannot recommend this location highly enough -- all of their glowing reviews are very well earned!

Nice to have a local shop you can trust. They are honest and do a great job of communicating with you in regards to urgent repairs vs things that can be dealt with in the future. Although they might not be the cheapest on the block, they are the most honest and do quality, trustworthy repairs that they are willing to warranty. Plus, who really wants to go to the cheapest guy on the block and end up just having to have it redone or go to the dealership who will just replace a part and charge you because the manual says its time rather than actually checking the part. I highly recommend you bring

I always trust 4th street auto. They do a great job and they are prompt with service and their communication. I went in their with squeaky brakes, fully intent on getting new ones, and they advised me that my brakes were fine and if I could get past the little bit of noise they will work fine. Most places would of just did as I asked and charged me for new brakes.

Great job with my truck. Checked my brakes for me, and reassured me that they were fine and didn't need changing yet. Great price on synthetic oil change...much lower than those quick lube places. Very nice owner

Overpriced ...OVER PRICED... he charged me 2 X the price of the parts... Alternators from Autozone was for $140 (remanufactured alternator) and the charged me $350 for the same item. He also charged me $57 just to charge my car battery (OMG, OMG, OMG). His hour rate is $108 which is not bad. $70 for belt ($30 at AutoZone) .. at the end of the day i Paid $750 for alternator change and belt....it's way overpriced, my friend got his alternator somewhere else and they charged him only $350 ( $120 for alternator).

Brought my car in for a small repair, prior to a road trip, with only 30 minutes notice and they got it done quickly and with a smile. I didn't ask how much it would cost, as they were well reviewed and I wanted to see how they would handle it. When they were done, they refused to take my money for 15 minutes of work, the repair was free of charge. They even checked the fluid levels and tire pressure to make sure I was all set for my trip. Impressed with the service and customer care. The repair was well done too.

Very nice and honest people-thought had problem with brakes. They checked everything out, and took a road test, finding no problems. Did not charge anything. Who could you find that would do this? Went there for first time after S&K went out of business-they had worked with them in the past.

These guys were great. I hadn't yet found a new place to take my car in when I had issues (a family friend used to handle all of my issues but has since retired and moved away) and I was really nervous about finding a new place. Well... I've found my new place.
I had a really pesky problem with my alternator. It would only act up sporadically. And Bill was very helpful talking me through my decisions. He told me what he would do but also made me feel very comfortable in making my own decisions, considering my car was not easy to diagnose (seriously, every time I drove it in, it acted

I just paid for a fuel leak repair, but feel the need to thank THEM publicly and profusely. 4th Street opened conveniently at 7am today, Monday. Bill, the man working behind the desk, was HONEST, straightforward, and courteous. My repaired vehicle was returned in a professional, reliable fashion. I wouldn't (and you shouldn't, either) go anywhere else.

We take both our cars here and have always been satisfied. I like that they give us options. They'll let us know if we can get away with not fixing something right now or they'll give us a low-cost alternative to an expensive but not-life-threatening repair.

I 've been gong to 4th street auto for years. Years!!!I recently went there to find out they (Rick) wanted over 1000 bucks to put in a new radiator.
I told them it was too much and went down the street to Top Tech and had it done for 300.
Suffice it to say, See ya, 4th Street!
