The shop is noted for its responsiveness, including after-hours assistance and transparent documentation of issues.

Very happy with the excellent, fast and friendly service I received on my Mercedes. I saved probably $1-$2k over what the dealership would have charged and had a better experience. Will be my go-to shop going forward.

2013 Boxster S, 5,000 mile maintenance and inspection. Easy same-day drop-off and pick-up. No surprises. This is my third year of turning to All-American Automotive for service and maintenance, as well as tires and other small repair issues. Always happy with the Service that Patrick and crew provide.

Called to schedule an appointment and it was super easy. The dealership said I needed new rear brakes, but I decided to come here instead. They inspected everything and I’m so happy with the service. Patrick was so nice and helpful throughout. If I ever need work done on my car, I’ll definitely be back!

Patrick has been my go-to mechanic for years. Even after I moved across the country, he took the time to help me figure out an inspection issue and recommend a great shop near me. That says a lot about how he treats his customers. Highly recommend.
