The communication from Billy was unacceptable- he failed to notify me of necessary repairs to my vehicles alignment! I was called by Billy and told that my car was ready and good to go, so when i picked up the car and paid for the work that i believed to be complete, Soon as i drove the car on the hwy i instantly noticed it was drifting to the right, so i made an appointment for a later date to have it checked out- it was on the second visit when i was told by Billy that he had FORGOTTEN to mention to me that the alignment required more parts and a lot more money to fix the problem, there was no mention on the original work order of alignment repair parts recommended ( very disappointing) I declined the additional repairs as i felt i could not trust this shop- had Billy been more thorough with his communication i probably would have had repairs made- i will never go back and they have lost my respect and trust. Services Wheel alignment

Tony I am troubled that you would leave this negative review. I have the pictures, that are date stamped, that show your pre-alignment and post alignment results for your first visit. The readings are within specification at the time the vehicle left. When you returned 7 days later, we placed your vehicle back onto the alignment rack and took the same pictures. The pre-alignment photos on the second visit clearly show that something happened to the toe setting. This is usually the result of the vehicle coming into contact with the sidewalk or a parking block. We made the adjustments again to bring the toe setting to specification at no charge. The only thing we "forgot" to mention during the first visit was that in order to bring the camber setting to proper specification would require the installation of a camber bolt kit. That kit should have been presented to you during the first visit and was an oversight on our part. Camber slightly out of specification will NOT create a vehicle pull, but will cause premature tire wear. Once a camber bolt is installed, the camber adjustment can be made repeatedly without replacement again. The vehicle was designed by the manufacturer to not be able to adjust for camber. I'm quite certain that anyone who attempts to align your vehicle will run into the same issue. Again, I apologize that we did not communicate this during your first visit and understand your frustration. The repairs made to your left front wheel bearing are still under warranty for the 3 year or 36,000 miles, good nationwide if you still feel this way and experience an issue with it. https://ibb.co/MyT7zS3L https://ibb.co/WmVCKnK https://ibb.co/QFJKCv1d https://ibb.co/pBJ4hH8X

I will Definitely have Arams Auto Repair take care of My Cadillac from this day forward. I was Impressed with their Service. This was the 1st time that I was given Photos and Videos of the Car Parts that Needed to be Replaced. Thank You Michelle for Your Professionalism and Care.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us Ralph. The reason for all of that information is so that you can make a better informed decision about your vehicle. We take that time to help educate you on the complete health status of your vehicle. We are glad to hear that you found the value of that process..

Had hye hopes based on the reviews. Went in because AC wasn't blowing cold and windshield wipers weren't working properly. Took over a week to get my car back. Some things were out of there control, but some things weren't. When I finally got the car back, TPMS light was on, so now I have to get that figured out. (It's not the tire pressure, had it checked). If it wasnt for the complimentary shuttle service I'd give 2.5 stars, but that saved me $20-30 in Uber rides. Half a star for that.

Dave thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We performed an internal audit and found that we made an error in storing the technician notes about your vehicle into another clients vehicle. The used part that we installed to correct your wiper operation also has the information about the TPMS and needs to be programmed to your vehicle. It was an error on our part to release the vehicle without performing that service. We sincerely apologize and would request the opportunity to correct this situation and make it right for you. This service could be done while you wait and obviously would be at no additional charge. Please let us know how you would like us to handle that for you, Billy.

I called Aram’s automotive about my truck air conditioner. It stopped working and I told the guy on the phone I was looking for a Shop to fix my AC. He said I could drop it off on Friday morning and make sure you get here early so we can get to your truck first thing. I dropped the truck off at 7:30 am. Told Michelle that the most important thing was to fix my AC and if they had time they could check my warning light about my 4 wheel drive. But the most important thing was my AC. I also told them I could not be without my truck on the weekend. I did not hear back from the shop until 12:30 pm. They told me they couldn’t get my estimate yet because my pictures and videos weren’t done yet. I told them I didn’t care about pictures and videos. How much to replace my AC system. They called back a few minutes later with a quote of $ 2200.00. Which is way over priced. When I said that the guy on the phone said he would check for overlapping charges and get back to me. They would drop the charge to $2000.00 and we’re still going to charge me the $340.00 diagnostic fee. This shop is only interested in digging up work by providing what they call a courtesy inspection that I did not ask for. They sent me a long list of items as small as burned out light bulbs and and as large as a transmission that needed to be replaced. I was livid when I got that list. All I wanted and asked for was an estimate and the repair of my AC system. By the time they got around to quoting me the repair cost they said they only had three hours left in the working day and the job was going to take three hours to do. I said great get to it. He then told me that the technician could not work on my truck only and he had to have a break and could not complete the repairs today. I said so you are charging me for several hundred dollars for diagnostic work I already knew about and did nothing to actually fix my truck. His answer was well if you choose to look at it that way. At this point I said just get my truck ready for me to pick up and I got myself out of there as fast as I could. As far as I am concerned they don’t care about real customer service, just how much can they extract out of you with diagnostic fees and double talk excuses as to why they can’t complete the repairs you actually asked for. They are way over priced. They are $210.00 an hour. The dealer is $240.00 an hour and everyone knows that you don’t go to the dealer unless you have no other option because of their cost. Well it looks like Aram’s automotive is another dealer it would be better to avoid. Heart broken that a place like Aram’s has chosen to operate like this. It wasn’t like this when Aram himself owner the place. You got me this time, there won’t be another time.

Jeff, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It has been over 5 years since we had seen you or this vehicle. We know that things on your vehicle have changed in that time. We actually take the time to educate customers on their vehicles overall status to help them make informed decisions about how they wish to maintain them. Most customers appreciate this approach, clearly it did not work for you though. If you have a change of mind in the next 5 years, we would be more than willing to help.

I took my 2013 Chrysler 300 here based on reviews for an overheating issue. First off, the shop diagnostic fee is over $300 and for the vast majority of issues this charge does not count toward or get deducted from your cost if you have them repair your vehicle. After inspecting my vehicle the shop found a leak in a heater hose that was causing my issues. The quote to replace the hose was $1,400 in addition to the $300 fee for looking at it. They also recommended a myriad of other maintenance services, including $1,000 just to change my spark plugs. I ended up paying the shop the $300 inspection fee and towing my car to another reliable shop who inspected and completed the same repair that would have been $1,700 at Aram's for less than half the cost - $800 total. My repair away from Aram's also included OEM parts from the dealer. This shop tries to explain away their inflated prices with talk of warranties and shop talk but at the end of the day this shop is just WAYYY overpriced.

John thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We don't appreciate your general statement about our inspection policies as it is inaccurate. Your fee included retesting the cooling system with a combustion leak test, that could not be performed properly due to an active coolant leak. Our quote for your job included the use of OEM parts and included a 3 year or 100,000 mile warranty that in nationwide. If you need future vehicle assistance, we will be here for you.
