I like AGCO and have never had an issue. They are definitely a top tier shop.

If you want a second opinion, Tony Lee automotive had been my go to shop for last 10 years. Tony Lee is the only place in town that i don't feel I ever need a second opinion. Very fair an honest people that do great work.

HC, I'll text Boo the info on my place. Definitely want to get a second opinion before spending those kind of dollars.

I use quality car care on Sherwood by the interstate. They have always been super fair and told me honestly whether something needed to be done or not.

My family has been using Louis and AGCO for over a decade. Louis does a great job, he knows cars and is a very fair mechanic.

They are very knowledgeable and well-trained for alignment work wheels brakes, all of that. However, the shotgun approach to repair, changing everything so your car is aligned often ends with an expensive bill. If you change everything and put it together with all new parts, of course it will align or brake properly. There is a difficult to find middle ground between shops who slap on pads and $29.95 alignments, and people that offer top tier work, high labor rates and shop fees. I do not have a suggestion for one, but if you have the means, yes, they do very good work.

He seemed pretty knowledgeable and the responses here are consistent with reviews I have read. So looks like I'll stick with them. Thanks, OT.

AGCO literally saved my car. The slap dicks at Royal Nissan said my transmission was bad and quoted me $9000+ to fix it. As a last resort I had it taken to AGCO and it turned to be a bad computer. Paid $1500 35,000 miles ago and it is running like a champ with over 135,000 miles on it.

Louis has a radio show on Sunday mornings. He is very knowledgeable. I bring all my work to Keith's on Florida and Airline but if I didn't, I would consider AGCO. Mostly because Louis's approach is to properly diagnose the problem and not throw unneeded money/parts at the issue "hoping" to fix it.
