They were great about making sure I was comfortable with the decision of the work and repairs that they recommended. They seem like good, honest, hard working people that will make sure the job gets done right. Its a nice clean looking shop with respectful workers. Fair and reasonable prices! I would highly recommend their service.

Holiday weekend and he was open! Called and asked about having our check engine light diagnostic done. Encouraged us to come right away and he would look at it. He plugged in this diagnostic tool and it was nothing to worry about. He didn’t charge us anything for the service. We will definitely use him for anything and everything regarding our car in the future. It’s an honest and professional place.

Ali and his team are amazing. They got my car in on short noticed and turned it around inside of 5 hours. AND to beat that, he said it cost less than what he originally thought so he gave me a discount. Gotta love the honesty. I will be going back to Payless Auto Repair for as long as I live in South Bend. 10/10 would recommend!!!! Besides being great mechanics, they are even better people!

Amazing service... Professional, family-owned business has a way of making you feel like youre part of their community. Warm, honest, and up front; they walked us through every step of the process, before during and after the repair, being sure that we understood and felt comfortable with the service. Without question some of the best service Ive ever received.

Highly recommend! The night before we were to leave South Bend, our car was acting odd. My husband got it into Payless Auto Repair first thing and they quickly and confidently diagnosed the problem (alternator) and let him know it would be done before he headed back home. Great costumer service and quality work. Made it home and has it has continued to run great. Thanks for saving the day!

My Dad and I are from Iowa, on our way to Pennsylvania with a truck and trailer to pick up a motorcycle I bought online. The serpentine belt broke on the Ford F-150 leaving us stranded in Indiana very far away from home needing help quick. These guys got us help quick when we needed it, very friendly giving us water right away when we really needed it after baking in the hot sun waiting on the tow truck. I can’t say enough how appreciative we are of their kindness and quick, professionalism. The mechanic knows his Fords and got the job done for a little less than what was quoted. Great service!!!!

Traveling back home to Pennsylvania, we stopped at Payless Auto Repair in South Bend with our brakes in need of immediate attention. They gave us excellent service. Within an hour, we had new ceramic brake pads and rotors, an oil change and all auto fluids topped off . They were kind, courteous, professional and provided excellent service! Thank you so much Payless Auto Repair!

The men were very nice and helpful when I brought in my car. They were available right away when I needed. I needed my car window fixed and did not even realize I needed an oil change until they let me know, so they did this as well. I will definitely go back for further car repairs and appreciated how helpful they were!

VERY kind and honest service with an extremely reasonable quote. Kept us informed throughout the whole process with timing and what repairs were needed vs cosmetic, as well as accurate cost estimates. Family run auto shop with skilled and knowledgeable mechanics. HIGHLY recommend!

Definitely a great locally owned business! They had me in first thing and was already working on it before the parts came. On top of the great job they did with my brake job, they also didnt charge me for the oil change. I highly recommend supporting this great local business! I will definitely will return!

Review №14

This was my first time going to Payless Auto Repair, but it was honestly the best experience Ive had with getting work done on my car! Ali was super polite, called to tell me the different options I had and the prices, and afterwards he even showed me the old parts that he had replaced which Ive never had a mechanic do before! I could also tell a major difference in driving my car when I left! My breaks and turning all felt super smooth and the prices were very reasonable. To top it off, he even offered my bf and I something to drink when we were there to pick up the car! 100% will definitely be going back soon cuz my other car needs work done as well!

Review №15

Needed a car that sat for a couple years fixed and capable of traveling a 150+ miles at a time, had no idea when I took it in that it’d be ready a day later, they showed me the parts they took off when they were done and charged a pretty reasonable amount considering the age of the suspension. I’ve had too many bad experiences to take my car to a mechanic but I made the first trip the same night I got it back, couldn’t be happier.

Ali was a pleasure to work with. He was honest and up front about costs and kept me in the loop throughout the whole repair process. Gave me honest opinion of the status of my vehicle without pressuring me into paying for more than I needed to. Got the work done well and in a timely manner. Will definitely be going back to Payless for future car services.

These guys are fantastic! My fiancé and I were driving across country from California and got in an accident outside south bend that knocked loose our undercar shield. They were able to diagnose the issue, patch it up and send us on our way in a matter of minutes free of charge. If I were a local they would be my new go to guys

Best price after calling 7 different shops including locals and chains. Stayed true to estimate and communicated options before performing services. Already have another repair lined up with no concerns. I was honest with them about what was wrong with my vehicle and what my budget was and they were up front about my options and pricing. Don’t have a reason to not recommend. Thanks!

Review №32

These guys know their stuff! Our truck had a brake issue, and ended up needing a fairly extensive repair to ensure the overall safety of the truck. The mechanics were honest, gave us a very reasonable price, and did an awesome job on the repair in a very timely manner. They also did a complete inspection of anything questionable, and showed us the old parts after removal. They didnt try to upsell anything unnecessary, and pointed out possible problems that could show up in the future. Theyre professional, family friendly, and do great work. Will definitely be getting work done here in the future!

We were in town for work when our van broke down. They got it in right away and got us back on the road within a couple of hours. And the bill ended up being $30 less that they quoted. I could not have been more pleased with the entire experience. I wish we had a service center in St Louis that i could say that about. Excellent job, guys!!!

Review №56

Had a wheel bearing going out on my car. Called around and nobody could get me in today and some prices I got quoted by other shops that could get me in were insane. Called this shop up and was treated great on the phone and given a great quote to get both my wheel bearings replaced. Was also told they could get me right in and get it done. Was there for about 2 hours in and out and had a nice comfy waiting area with a huge tv. Free drinks and bathroom right there. Great customer service. Showed me the faulty wheel bearings and recommended replacing both of them. Couldnt be happier with the service I received and the quickness of the whole process. I will be coming back for my future work that needs to be done on my vehicle! Thank you!!!

We were traveling through the area and had car troubles. We had to leave our car and continue our travels, but the first opportunity Rob called, described the problem, presented the options, and made a recommendation. They completed the work in a very timely manner and the cost was very fair. He even threw in an oil change! If I was from the area, this would definitely be my car service choice. I highly recommend!

They have saved me so much money on the things they have done for me. The works on my vehicle. They were very knowledgeable on things that needed to be done explained it to me before they did a job and I was so glad they helped me with my vehicle they saved me more than the other companies were going to charged me way too much.I will recommend them to do work for anybody especially those ladies that gets charged over and above what we should pay and other companies will create problems for your car so you can come back,but this company will correct any problems that other ones have create.Vernna Monroe
