Brought my car in for a single axel issue and they called me saying I had triple the price worth of repairs needed done. Went to a dealership to get it professionally checked out and all of the claims these mechanics made about my car being broke were completely false. Nice guys but poor service
I had an amazing experience with Certified Automotive, I came in for a brake flush and they explained I probably didnt need it but they would do a full inspection for free to be safe. I was waiting for an upsell but was pleasantly surprised when they came back saying my car was in perfect condition and wouldnt need to get the brake fluid flushed for at least another 12k miles. Ill definitely be back next time my vehicle needs any work done, this was the best experience Ive ever had with an auto shop.
Excellent communication even for us nontechnical car guys. I appreciate the team at Certified Automotive. Thanks again guys! -Click Computers
Great experience with the guys at Certified Automotive. They were very helpful and punctual with the repairs on wheel bearings and thorough with their car examination as well - Id definitely recommend if you need honest mechanics who care about your safety and travels! :)
Let me start by saying they did not actually do any work on my car so this review isn’t about that. This is strictly about customer service. From the moment I walked in with my van the guy helping me out told me things that were wrong with it and already ordered the parts. I was feeling like he saw me as a way to make money. After the inspection I fully understand there were lots of issues with my van but I felt very belittled in the way these things were communicated. I felt as if because I was a female by myself I was treated worse than if I were someone else. Or maybe that’s how they treat everyone I don’t know. The other guy and the mechanic was much more direct and respectful to me. To put it simply if I am going to be paying lots of money to service my car I should be treated much better. I will take my van somewhere else if I decide to get it fixed.
The folks at Certified Automotive were very friendly! After their inspection, they clearly explained to me their findings and didn’t pressure me into making a decision or talk down to me. In the end I decided to have them replace my AC system, and they completed the work and removed the inspection fee from the final invoice (greatly appreciated!). Now my AC is working like brand new!
When my car malfunctioned near Salt Lake City on a cross country trip, I called Certified Automotive and they they were able to look at my Toyota relatively quickly. These guys really know their stuff and they were able to diagnose the problem and get me back on the road in a couple of hours. I had no further issues on my drive back to Wisconsin. Although they knew I was from out of state they treated me like a local repeat customer. If I lived in the Salt Lake City area this would be the place I would take all my cars for service.
I have been a customer of Certified Auto for a long time. Fortunately, the culture which was established many years back has been sustained through changes in ownership and flourishes today. Having arranged the purchase of a 1995 GMC Suburban with 200,000 miles for a son, I brought the vehicle in for a complete look. I had provided a long list, with the confidence that I could ask them to judge which services and repairs were needed. There were major leaks to deal with, some dysfunction, and many unknowns. This trust factor has been extremely important for me over the years. They once again delivered on every detail. They deemed some services not needed. Others were tailored to the age of the vehicle. There was an appreciated workaround on some rusted transmission lines. All leaks were addressed, including two sources which had not been previously identified. Some of the front-end linkage replacements, which necessarily had been installed the previous day in another county because the vehicle could not be driven without this work being done, were found to be loose and were dealt with (without charge) just in the normal course of doing the work I had requested. I was once again thrilled with the work this team delivered!
It was my first time at Certified Automotive and I had a good experience. They were able to drive me home from the shop which was a total life saver! They were really clear, kind, and professional when telling me what was up with my car. It ended up being a fat chunk of change (more than was originally estimated) since my AC was in worse shape than first thought, but hey that’s cars for you. It was a repair I was needing for a long time so it was about time I got it fixed. Thanks guys!
Greeted with a smile and positive attitude. These guys are great. Repairs were completed on time and they let me know the cost up front. True professionals!!! I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for the great service. Ill be back for all repairs for my car and truck.
Today was my second time in, and the service was just as amazing as the first. These guys are the most honest, flexible, and fastest repair shop Ive found. They will never charge you for things without your written consent, are super communicative during the entire repair, and never treat you condescendingly. Another repair shop messed with my back hatch and refused to take responsibility, so I took my vehicle in here, and I was in and out in under an hour, only 100 bucks out with my car working again. Can never say enough good things.
Super great Service every time I have our vehicles serviced here. Thanks guys! :)
We have been having our vehicles serviced at Certified Automotive for almost two DECADES! We are loyal customers and we will keep coming back. We have run the range of simple maintenance and repairs to major fixes and have never been disappointed with the service.
I’ve been going to Certified Automotive for years. They’ve always done great work at a reasonable price. No complaints, very up front and honest about your repairs, very satisfied.
They were able to diagnose the problem of brakes at abs lights that no one else could two months at the dealership didnt work full brake job didnt work but they got it done in one afternoon very thankful for the professional workmanship to solve a problem that nobody else could
Friendly, reasonable price, clean and on time! I will be coming back here again for sure! Thanks Jeff!
I have an older Ford Extended Van and have been impressed with the professionalism of their business and attention to detail in repairing my vehicle. They maintain a history of work I should have done, if only there is more time. Robert
Absolutely the best service, personable, worked with me every step of the way. Never felt uneasy about them doing the work. Richard was phenomenal he knows customer service i Highly recommend will use them again!
Very good quality work and great customer service! Richard is very nice and extremely helpful. He answered all my questions and was very patient with explaining everything. Price was fair. Will definitely go back for routine maintenance.
Very kind, very quick, and just a clean and nice place!
Thanks for the excellent service!
I absolutely enjoyed my experience with this business! They are so helpful and understanding and just generally good people! Ill be coming back!
Great people and do the job right the first time. My first go to for car repairs and service
I was not happy with this place. I thought theyd be good based on the reviews. All in all I spent $300 plus just for them to tell me that it could be this or it could be that and they didnt really know. Also they made me pay for the registration for my car that they knew wouldnt pass emissions testing. Im never gonna see that money again. Horrible experience.
Don’t bother reading the positive reviews on this place. They were not effective in helping my mother with her car and then continued to call and harass her after her review. She ended up having to file a police report due to threats made by the staff here. As I read through the other reviews, I see that she is not the only one to deal with this type of unprofessionalism. Also, read the company responses to other bad reviews. They are very unprofessional and they do not do anything to rectify any unsatisfaction. They are very immature and have a lack of customer satisfaction. How is this place even open? And any company condoning the employees to harass and threaten older people should be shut down.Edted to add: We would not have called to police if the employee Richard Shaw had not called my mother more than once from his personal number to threaten her and threaten to ruin her car. Threatening people is not how a business should run. I hope to stop anyone else from being victimized by this horrible place of business. I’m very upset that my mother was threatened over a review she left because she was dissatisfied a Nissan certified mechanic couldn’t fix her car due to it being a Nissan problem. The response to my review only reflects on how poorly they treat customers.Also edited to add: a company should reply with this type of response when an employee of theirs is threatening customers.So here’s your free lesson in running a professional business. Company should reply with “I’m so sorry you had this experience with one of our employees. This matter will be dealt with through continued training or other internal practices. We’d love another chance to try to fix your car” and so forth and so on.Definitely not the response that the company put below.ETA: if the employee did it from his own phone then obviously the company would have no proof. 🤦♀️
Well I took my car for air condition service and I felt the service was fair but then I had front end problems with the same vehicle and I went back two different times and Ithey still didnt correct the problem and come to find out from another mechanic they put parts in that didnt need to be replaced so Im not very happy with this company aso you choose whether you want to use this company or not but beware
Pete, Zack, Jeff and Susan are some of the most pleasant and professional folks Ive ever had the pleasure of having service my vehicle. Pete performed a thorough vehicle inspection as well as topping off the coolant for free. Jeff left the office just to pick up a part I needed that they didnt have on hand! Great people and service for a fair price. Im a real estate agent and I am completely confident recommending Certified Automotive to my clients. Thank you guys! 😎👍❤️
I had a used car inspection done here for a vehicle I wanted to purchase. They were able to schedule on super short notice and they did a thorough inspection. After the inspection it was found that the car needed $2500 in repairs so I decided not to buy it. Super helpful and definitely worth the money!
These guys are top notch. They were very informative. And I didnt get that sense of your typical swindling mechanic shop.
The best service! Car broke down on an early Sunday morning and I got a call first thing on Monday. They got my car turned around in less than two days for a massive fix with a busy schedule. Ended up with a $200 bill for something that easily could’ve cost $2500 with honest and knowledgeable work. Certified Auto is now my go to place for car needs in Utah!
I am so happy with Certified Automotive! I always feel like I am charged appropriately, not pressured into extra repairs, and these guys are quick! Both times I have had my car in I get it back good as new same day for under 400 dollars! After years of only taking my cars to dealerships for repairs, being over charged and treated poorly I am so happy that I found Certified Automotive and 100% recommended them for auto needs!
Great first impression! The whole staff was very friendly, trustworthy and professional. They fixed my problem the first time without trying to sell me on a bunch of things I didnt need. This will be the only shop I take my truck too. Awesome awesome awesome mechanic
As always, my repair was done timely and professionally. I was kept informed as to progress. Thank you.
These guys are great! I feel like they are honest and trustworthy. Great qualities for a repair shop! Their pricing is also fair. Ive been going to them now for almost a year and am really happy with their service! I highly recommend you give them a try!
I’m skeptical of mechanic work, but these guys went above and beyond. Completely honest about the work that needed done and gave clear options of what I wanted to get done. Highly recommended!
The service I received was thorough, expertise, and directed openly towards the health of my vehicle. They did a quality full service on my car that no commercial car shop would have done. Gave me needed legal support as well. These guys get it done.
Had them check out my used and rebuilt title from a dealer close by. They were able to verify it is a good car and point out some things that might need touching up. Really appreciate their help in me finding a good car for myself!
The shop ackownledge all of my concern and even brought me an update, for recall on my vehicle in which, I had no idea of. They answer all of my question about their services provided there, which made me feel that I would be well taken care of. Thank too you all at Certified Automotive.
Couldnt be happier with the service here, Richard was very helpful and saved me a lot of money on repairs.
Ive been going to Certified Auto for over a year now, and theyre always honest and professional.Two days ago, I took my car in bc the hatch was stuck. They couldve charged me a lot of money, but instead were very honest, and in fact wanted to under charge me!
Zach at certified was very professional. Fixed my car with what was actually wrong with my car. The dealership had diagnosed my car with multiple wrong issues. I appreciated up to date and honest communication I received at certified.
Peter took great care of my car! They were very efficient and I couldn’t be happier. Strongly recommend. They are very personal!
Told me everything wrong with my car with no pressure to have all the work done. They were a little far out for me but provided a convenient shuttle. The shuttle was right on time to pick me up. Very nice people! Good work at a reasonable price!
After they fix my car they didn’t put everything back when I took my car home and a few day later I check the back of my car and it look mass they check something under my car and take out my car part and not even put it back and give me a hard time put the car part back.
Very friendly and courteous staff. Got my vehicle done in a timely manner. Very honest. Explained there was a sensor out in my car and gave me a quote and told me to fix it whenever I wanted. Didnt feel pressured into the sale. Will definitely recommend and go back again.
Jeff and the rest of the group genuinely cared about helping us find the solution to our vehicle challenges. They were engaging and honest.
Take your car here. Richard and the guys will give you the straight story, plus different options, and then theyll do it right. Theyre good guys.
Richard worked with me to find the most economical fix for our high-mileage Toyota Prius in a way that was very acceptable to our budget. The staff were very responsive, scheduled the repair promptly, and the in-shop time was just a little less than what they anticipated. As a customer, this was an easy and not too expensive a repair for something that would have been well-over twice the amount and significantly more time through the dealer. Great service!, and very professional and courteous staff. I highly recommend Certified Auto for their very efficient repair service.
My truck was vandalized and Certified Automotive was able to get my windows and cars done within 1 day. Fast service, good prices, honest work. Cant go wrong here!
I called in the morning to ask if I could get my van in for an oil change that day. I hadnt used this shop before, but it is so conveniently located to my work. They set a time for me, text me a reminder and when I was running late, continued to work around my schedule. I was able to leave the van and wasnt in a hurry, but they completed it quickly anyway. The best part -- the gesture that I was so impressed with is when I was paying. They asked me if this was my first visit with them, and when I responded yes, they automatically gave me $25 off my bill. I was ready and willing to pay full price, but they definitely know the way to create a lasting customer. I will go there again for sure.
I needed a pre-purchase used car inspection and these guys were able to do it very quickly and at a great price. I was very happy with the service and the staff. I ended up buying the car and this may be the shop I take it to for follow up service.
I trust Certified Auto and their competent staff with all repairs on my car, and the advice they can offer me regarding better ways to care for my car! I have been a loyal customer for about 10 yrs. and thats not going to change!
I have been a long-time customer of Certified Auto (approx 28 years), and have never been disappointed. They stand by their work and are scrupulously honest. Last Friday my car broke down and they worked like crazy to get my car fixed so Id have it over the weekend. Thanks!
I was thrilled with the service provided. Certified Automotive started impressing me right on the first call. They showed interested on the problem I had with my vehicle, had a quick diagnostic done and offered competitive prices to get he problem resolved. Moreover, they kept updated daily about the status of my vehicle. This is a mechanic shop to keep for life. I would suggest to anyone looking for decent and professional mechanic to check this shop.-Marck B.
Got me in on a moments notice. Good team of guys working here. Will return for sure.
Far and away the best auto service center I have ever visited. They were extremely patient and thorough and individually detailed all of the charges and work - and were not pushy. They certainly care about the customer and your car. The prices were extremely reasonable for the amount of work I had done, plus they have a 24k mile warranty - I have never been offered that anywhere else. I wont be going anywhere else for service.
Had to change my appointment numerous times and Jeff and Richard got me in acting like their schedule was clear even though they had a full lot. They are awesome and recommend to anyone!!!
Booked an appointment for a pre-purchase inspection on a used car. They were friendly, professional and to the point. Took about an hour. Afterwards, they communicated any problems found and sent me with a detailed list of everything inspected. Plus, their referral program ain’t too shabby!
I thought they gave me a fair price and did the work well with competent mechanics. They didnt tak on anything I didnt need just for a sale. I never felt pressured by their friendly staff. Thanks!
I called these guys on a whim for a diagnosis, they offered a great price & were able to fit me in when I was available. They also offered free shuttle service to get home and back so I didnt have to figure that out. The experience these guys offered greatly exceeded my expectations. They not only solved the issue I went in there for, but they informed me of everything else my car was in need of, but not in a pushy way. Great guys, excellent service! Will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Thanks Jeff & Richard!
I was a mess because I didnt have towing and Richard was nice enough to give me a fair price! They got the piece to their shop less than an hour and fixing it today!!! Think a found a mechanic shop! Richard is a funny guy and his staff is very helpful.
I love Certified Automotive! They are very helpful, yet honest. I went in just for a safety and emissions test, but they did a free inspection, but didnt pressure me to spend any more money than I was comfortable doing. They even called me a few days later to make sure my car was working just fine after my appointment with them. They have fantastic customer and employees who work there. I definitely recommend them!
They were very friendly, Informative reasonably priced and they were willing to Call my husband and repeat everything they had told me. I will definitely use their services again! Thank you Certified Automotive
Amazing, honest and incredible work! I went in for a brake inspection and an oil change and upon completion they told me exactly what was wrong with my brakes, what it would cost to fix it, what the warranty would be and how long it would take. Having no coupons in hand I was planning on paying the full price for the services. Keith stepped in and told me that he would give me the coupon price for the services rendered and took care of the inspection charge cutting my bill by 3/4! I would very much recommend this place to anyone looking for good, quality, honest and reliable automotive work.
I made an appt. to have the transmission fluid changed in my 2012 Prius. I was impressed by how clean the shop was and the candor of the employees that checked me in. My cost was quoted at about $240, but came in about $100 less because there was no need to flush the transmission repeatedly. They could have very easily just went with their original statement and collected the $240, but they were honest and as a result, in my mind, got a deal. I will definitely be going back to Certified Automotive and will refer friends and family.
Certified Auto is awesome. All the people are experts & very good at what they do. I have been going to them for about 30 years. I would not go anywhere else.
A few months back, my car stopped cranking or starting up. I had it towed here, within walking distance of my apartment. The employees here were so kind and accommodating, helped the towing personnel manage my car down, and were full of smiles and jokes. They held the car overnight and called me to let me know that they tried to duplicate the issue a couple dozen times and couldnt - I picked it up and oddly, havent had a problem since. Although I ended up not having to have a repair completed, Ill definitely come back when I do - my short experience was pleasant and worry free with them. :)
I just had my car serviced this morning, and was very impressed with the team at Certified Automotive. They were very friendly and had me on my way quickly. I had the opportunity to meet with Keith as well and he is a great guy. His shop is extremely honest and you can trust their recommendations. I would highly recommend Certified Automotive!
Great service. I have never had a bad experience at Certified. I tell anyone needing car service to go to Certified with confidence. Not the cheapest, but that is not a bad thing. I dont mind paying a fair price for quality service.
Had some car problems while visiting the area and no other reputable shop could even fit me in for an inspection. The guys at Certified were more than happy to make time to help me out. 1,000 miles later here I sit, at home in Seattle without any further issues. Friendly professional service, very accommodating staff, reasonable rates, skilled and knowledgable techs, and above all else they are HONEST. Cant imagine a better experience taking my car to the shop. Highly recommended.
I took my truck in for an inspection and emission test. During the inspection they discovered that my brakes needed work. (which I already suspected) They called with a very fair and reasonable price to do the work and had everything done that day. Good, quick, honest, reliable service is what I got from Keith and his team. So good that this is the only place I will take my truck in for service in the future.
No one goes to an auto repair shop because they want to. They go because they HAVE to. This place really helps make the best out of an unpleasant situation. Certified Automotive makes it so that your life doesnt have to stop just because your car does. They are really quick to get into and have a nice clean shop. They are super organized and take a lot of the hassle out of needing a car repair. Today they even drove me to an appointment while my car was being fixed. They are friendly and helpful and very accommodating. I am really impressed with the people I interacted with today at CA and I will be bringing all my future car repair needs to them. Highly recommend!
Im new to the area and brought my car in for a brake job. Richard was excellent at helping me get the right service at a great rate. My car is running like a champ now!
Certified Automotive is overpriced. I ended up finding a place much cheaper and taking my car there. I was a paying customer, so I assumed they would keep my car on their lot, yet they offered to recycle my car for me and sell it for parts! No thank you! Certified was just where Triple AAAA happened to tow me. Im from up North, Davis County, and I found a place that was cheaper up there so I had it towed up there. The second that Certified Automotive found out I wasnt going to have my car repaired with them they cut off the water to the waiting room by having the Culligan man come in and shut it off so I would go thirsty, with no apologies. Talk about terrible customer service! Also, they have a bad racist attitude. Dont get your car done here unless you want to overpay for everything.
Currently, serving in the U.S Army and had service done on my 2012 Hyundai Genesis. This is one of the most professional shops I have been to ever!!! I recommend Certified Automotive to any one looking for honesty in dealing with car maintenance issues..
I have been bringing in my vehicle and truck for all my needs on them and has been a great experience, they have been kind there mechans are good and now what they are doing any questions they are willing to answer
They seemed knowledgeable and didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need. I went in for a tire rotation and alignment after working on the rear shocks and ended up not needing the alignment. They brought me a pretty well laid out alignment diagram after checking it to show me exactly what the cars current alignment was. I plan on going back after doing my front struts.
Youll never find anyone more upbeat and knowledgeable than Keith. Hes so fun to talk to and I always trust what he has to say. Definitely recommend to friends and family!
These guys were great! They fit me in, even though I hadn’t made an appointment. I felt really well cared for, and they explained everything that was done thoroughly!
Went in to fix a bent rim and the service was amazing! They went to the junk yard for me to replace the rim and fixed it within 3 hours! 10-10 would go again.
I took my car in a couple months ago right before a little road trip. The service was awesome! I couldnt have been more pleased. I will be recommending them to family and friends. Thanks Keith
After being a loyal customer for 18 years I will never take my car anywhere else. The couple of times that I did go elsewhere to save a little bit of $, I have completely regretted it. When I go to Certified I know that honest quality work will be completed on my car. Anyone that receives the Certified experience will never want to go anywhere else.
When we had a truck down, we called Keith and he took care of us so quick and the cost was low I could barely believe it! Thanks for helping us out Keith. We will recommend you to all of our friends!
Certified Automotive was amazing on one of my worst days. They were easy to get in to and helped me in a timely manner. They had to deliver horrible news about my newly purchased vehicle but they were empathetic and helped me with a few suggestions on what my next steps should be and what I could do. They referred me to one of their friends who really helped me out with a horrible situation! I highly recommend them and should I ever find myself needing car repair again Certified Automotive is where Ill take my vehicle!
Honest and capable. Definitely worth the money here. Definitely not the cheapest, but worth every penny.
I have been a long time customer of Certified Automotive. They always deliver the best possible service and solutions. They stand by their repairs. Which is the true test of a quality repair shop. There are other shops that might promise quality and low cost, however when you have questions or issues they dont want to stand by their repairs or they will charge you again. Certified Automotive takes the time to explain repairs and risks associated with the choices you make.
My experience at this auto shop has always been positive. Highly recommended!
Richard and his team are excellent. They really know their stuff, are thorough and have great pricing. They’re easy to work with and get the repairs done quickly.
Great place to take your vehicle. The employees are nice, knowledgeable, and the prices are fair.
Ive been a customer of Certified Automotives for a couple years now, and Im quite happy. Their location is in a fairly ghetto industrial area with a small lot, but I chose them because they were AAA and ASE certified, had their certifications clearly displayed proudly in the lobby, and the lobby was clean and felt like they had pride in their shop. They are a bit higher priced than some other shops, but Im the kind that will pay a bit more to avoid the nightmares that can happen to you (and your wallet) at a dishonest shop. I feel this shop is honest- they could have taken the opportunity at times to tell me I needed things I didnt, but they chose to tell me honestly that I didnt need something or would be fine to wait some more time. I especially love their free shuttle service (a PT cruiser, actually!) anywhere in the valley- I can drop my car off, have them take me to work, and pick it up when Im done without having to take vacation time. Only downsides I could think of are time- they are a smaller shop that is very thorough, which of course means work takes a bit longer than speedy shops who just care about getting you in and out. I am a huge fan of Gene, who is so knowledgeable and friendly and started the shop when it began. Highly recommended for honesty. Just wanted to write a review and give a shout out! :)
Great experience here. They were very friendly and honest with their consultation. I will definitely be returning!
Keith and his crew do a great job. They took very good care of my 2001 Honda Accord before I sold it. Now will take good care of my 2014 Toyota Camry.
The best place to get your car serviced, no question. Ive been a customer for over 5 years and have never had a bad experience plus they offer free shuttle service which is just so convenient. Thanks Certified Auto, you guys rock!
Always friendly and very informative. They are fast and efficient, willing to work with the customer, and always happy to give a ride and/or pick-up for you convenience. Great work.
They went out of their way to make our experience great--great service, great quality, great price. We found our new auto mechanic!
Im a new customer to Certified Automotive and found the people there to be honest, educated and proficient at what they do. I will defenitely make them my go to place for auto repairs and maintenance. And will recommend family and friends to do the same. When you find a mechanic that you feel treats you right its easy to go back.
I had a great experience with Certified Automotive. They were honest, upfront and quick!
The people at Certified Automotive were very helpful and courteous. The waiting room was very comfy and they provided free waters making to wait (which was shorter than an anticipated) very enjoyable.
Superb customer service. Richard and the other guy were very friendly and willing to share information with me. I bought an Amazon local voucher for an emission test and safety inspection. When I got there, they told me any 2012 vehicles wont need either of those. I felt bad wasting their time but I appreciated how kind and friendly they are. They have a full mechanic shop and I will definitely consider them whenever I need maintenance or repair. Highly recommended!PS: at the time of this review, Google map has these guys address wrong. The written address (West temple) is right but when you use maps (the app), it shows you two blocks to the east, which is on state street.
