Our car's electric died. Other places' surface diagnostics showed that the battery and alternator was fine. Mike was quick to fit us in and communicative. Didn't press or try to upsell us. We were renting a car so Mike knew this was an additional expense so took that into consideration and expedited the diagnostic…

We live in the neighborhood & needed a battery charge. We brought our car into Tenleytown Auto & left it there for several hours for a long term charge. Our battery was dead & would not take a charge. They replaced the battery & delivered our car to us which was very helpful as we are disabled.
