Spending money on car repairs isn't exactly the most fun thing in the world, especially if you have to have major work done. Most auto shops are going to charge similar prices for major repairs, so the key is the find a trusty shop that will get the job done right the first time at an affordable price.
Tune ups are a great way to keep your car running in top shape between larger scheduled maintenance work. The problem is that far too often people skip the minor tune ups until another problem rears its head. Instead of rotating tires regularly, drivers ignore the practice and suffer a tire blow out or have to spend even more money on a new set when their old tires wear out too quickly.
Shocks and struts are essential parts of every vehicle, but most drivers don't give them a second thought until they start to notice their car isn't handling as well as it used to. Before we get into the details, it's important to note that not all vehicles have both shocks and struts. Some cars just have shocks, and some cars only have struts.

Absolutely wonderful place to do business with. Customer service is top notch. Over the years (been coming here since 2013) they’ve taken great care of our cars. They’ve also done amazing things like carried car seats to a loaner car for me, and today squeezed me in for a quick repair so I could get to work. Make them your cars home, you’ll love their work and as well as their kindness!

Dan and Todd went above and beyond in every way possible. I can't say enough good things about the service, professionalism, and overall treatment I was shown by the crew at Affordable... Will gladly recommend to anyone and everyone!!! Thanks guys, keep up the good work. In the current climate, it sure feels good knowing a local, homegrown shop like this still exists.

Affordable Auto Glass/affordable auto repair.
I went in to get a quote for an installation of the large rear window in the back of my pick-up truck. It was a slider window, and I had broke the section right behind the driver's seat, so the whole window needed to be replace. I had already purchased the new window, just needed it installed.
They were able to get me in right away. They removed my broken rear window, and installed my new rear window in about 2 hours. The new window looks great! The price was $30-$40 cheaper than what they quoted me at the big name shop down the road.

I love having vehicle(s) serviced here. They are up front and explain all my options to me. Most recently I had a check engine diagnostic done somewhere else and they told me "it's a transmission issue" then charged me $55 and wouldn't tell me the code. Here Dan talked to me until I understood what they had done. (And told me the code and wrote it on my paperwork.) They told me I was ok to run the vehicle without the repair they decided made the check engine light go on (thank you honesty) yet still researched prices in case I wanted to fix it. And I have a very old vehicle

I have brought 4 cars to Affordable Automotive and they have kept all 4 cars running extremely well with reasonable prices. Todd and Dan are both very knowledgable and personable, and they treat me like a real human being. They go the extra mile and will even give you a list of must perform work, to do when you can, and nice but not required. They also offer very flexible payment plans for all repairs, and have even added dealership rebates to their much lower prices to give me the best deal out there. I can't imagine using anyone but them to keep my cars running well long after they should

I went there to try to find out why my car wouldn't start. They told me they couldn't figure it out. Possibly it could have been the battery so lets replace that and clean up the wires. So I gave them $300.00 dollars for that and the diagnostics the next day it didn't start. I should have brought it back but thought why bother. I took it to two other places that couldn't figure it out either..one didn't charge me the other charged a few dollars. I guess the point is it's fine if you can't figure it out but please don't just guess and charge me a bunch
