My girlfriend's Mini Cooper had been diagnosed by her favorite mechanic as having a bad #4 fuel injector. Because of a death in his family her mechanic was unable to fix her car in a reasonable amount of time.
On the advice of myself and another friend, she took her car to Today's Auto. Without diagnosing the problem they replaced the #4 fuel injector on my girlfriends word alone. It did not fix the issue! So, they hooked up the car to the diagnostics machine and it told them the car had a bad ignition coil. Today's installed a new ignition coil and the car runs great.

My car needed to be "brought back to life" because it had been just sitting in my fathers driveway for a few years becaus I had recently become unable to drive it. As a result, the battery was dead, the fluids all needed to be replenished and old ones flushed etc. the right tire arm needed repairing/replacing and my vehicle was towed to this location. My car to be fixed cost over $3,000.00! When we got there to get it, I asked if they flushed the piles, transmission/anti brake/windshield fluids-basically any fluids which would have been old or evaporated by now , should have been replaced

Excellent customer service and turn around time! I brought my Honda here because it had a check engine light and some other issues. They fixed everything in a reasonable amount of time and updated me throughout the process. I am very happy to have my car fixed and back on the road.

I have been to Today's Automotive for a variety of services from receiving a tow to a simple routine oil change. The staff are friendly, helpful, and even took me to my residence after my tow.

I brought my 97 ford e150 to today's automotive after changing my timing chain my self to have valve cover gaskets professionally installed no small task on a econoline van. They matched a very local quote! And also they were available to do the job the very next morning. So I said ok. After the job was completed they also found another leaking plug. They were very honest and told me 1 of the 2 valve covers that I installed was good and only had to replace one side on my v8 engine and of course the leaking plug was removed and replaced. As a convenient open on Saturday I picked up

If you are looking for an honest auto mechanic, Todays automotive is the place! Great service with someone you can trust.

While buying a used truck on a Saturday, I used yelp's "request a quote" feature for a pre-purchase inspection mechanic. Today's Automotive responded right away and got me in immediately. They were thorough, fast and super reasonable. Great communication, great facility, extremely nice people. Honest and very friendly. Thank you for helping me set my mind at ease with a great inspection for a great price and right away. Couldn't have been better. Perfect in any way.

Brought a vehicle I was considering purchasing in for a complete new vehicle inspection. Wes said they found nothing wrong. I completed the purchase of the vehicle, drove it from Salem home to Portland where it was making a loud noise. I brought the vehicle to a mechanic in Portland who put it on a lift and found a major issue with the right wheel hub which was dangerously worn and missing bolts. The mechanic could not believe Today's automotive missed it. I paid over $500 for the repair which the dealer I purchased the vehicle from said they would have fixed if Today's Automotive

So grateful to Wes and the TA team for fixing my car's thermostat and having it back to me same day! I drive a LOT for work these days, handling pandemic disinfection of local grocery stores, so my car is my mobile office. I found them in Yelp and they got me in within the hour. Provided me with a ride home while my car was fixed. Wes communicated the whole time and had the car back better than ever same day! And for a VERY reasonable price! Will definitely be back! Thanks for working during this time.

Wes is straightforward, honest, and does an amazing job. He will always call with a heads up on the cost before they do the work. They don't try to upsell you or force you into doing things that aren't necessary. I trust them completely and will always take my car here!

Response to my previous review after the owners comment:
Honestly I find your comment condescending. The way we were treated while we were there was also part of why we felt a little screwed over. We were spoken to like we were stupid, and I feel like with your response here on Yelp you have continued to talk to us like we're stupid. We came to you for a little help and hoped to find a friendly local honest business. Yes the car started the next day, but you gave us no answer as to what was wrong with the car. I understand it's hard to figure out sometimes. Sometimes there is no answer

While trying to change the settings on the HVAC system in my car, the knob broke off in my hand. Unwilling to attempt the repair myself, I contacted the local dealer, who gave me a quote of almost $500 for the fix. Yeesh. I decided to check with Yelp for a shop with good reviews. Michael from Today's Automotive was the first to respond, and after getting my car info, texted me a quote at almost half off the dealer estimate -- and that included getting the repair part *from the same dealer*. Worth a shot, I thought.

Repair day came. I dropped the car off, and Michael gave me a ride back to

Timely appointments friendly people but most importantly honest !!! Took my daughter's car in uncertain why the air conditioning was not blowing cold air. Knowing that it was not just needing to be recharged and fearful it was the compressor, a super expensive to repair. It ended up that a bolt had fallen out ! They located the bolt put it back in and everything works perfectly.
Definitely will use these guys in the future.

I took my car to Today's Automotive for some work on the starter. No appointment. They were great. Gave me a ride to work, and completed the work in less time than originally anticipated. No more starter problems. My girl starts up every time. Huge thanks to Wes and crew!

OK- here goes. You're not gonna believe it either! I call my Allstate roadside assistance because on my way to get new tires at Les Schwab, I got a flat tire- they send Todays Automotive from Salem to me in Dallas. So 45min later they show up...I tell him the tire shop is a mile away and he can add air and follow me there..."Uh, I don't have an air compressor" Of course not you're in a car! After 20 min of him diddling with my tire I walk to his car and he's watching a video! He says he's not sure how to remove the spare tire from my truck. A few minutes later

Our car broke down on I-5 by Salem, OR and AAA agent has suggested this shop to take our car to. Great experience overall: staff is friendly and helpful (they offered us a ride to place we could eat at while waiting), quality of repair, timing (we were super lucky they had part for our car in the shop), and in fact we had liked Salem as one of the stops now while traveling up and down I-5 because of that experience. The shop is very clean and well organized, and wait area is set up with families in mind. Totally would recommend it!

Appreciate professionalism, staff friendliness, 'chauffeur me' service, and quality of work. The most difficult issue on last visit was having my car there nine days, due to the machine shop they use. Many cancellations in my schedule due to that hold up. Still, I highly recommend Today's Automotive, and will continue trusting their work with my car!
