Do you have a Honda or an Acura? If not, you'd wish you did so you could just take your car here and let them work on it. I'll share a story and maybe you'll take your car here too.

I have a 1997 Honda Civic EX. I love that car, yet I also hate it. I've taken it to other shops before but I always feel like they just "figure it out" because they don't really KNOW my vehicle. I also feel like other shops just fix whatever and don't really inform me of what the problem was or help me understand how it happened.

So my car was leaking oil so I took it in to Accurate Automotive after my boss said he took his cars here for the past 15 years. So I drop my car off at the lot and I call them the next day. I spoke to a guy (I this it was Troy) and he was really honest with me. He told me "you've got a leak somewhere, that's for sure. But really, you're burning more than you're leaking. My advice is to just add a quart of oil every month because it's just not worth it to take the engine apart and find the leak." I was shocked! I loved how honest he was - and the fact that he wasn't looking to make a bunch of money made me even happier. I feel like their motivation was to keep my car running well but also keep my costs down. Perfect.

I then begin to rattle off everything that has ever been told to me that was wrong with the car - and he said he'd take a look at everything. I received a call the next day and he informed me that my ignition coil was burned out and it was due to some other shop replacing my wires (the ones that go to the spark plugs from the distributor cap/rotor) with ones that are not good for Hondas. I told him to replace everything and then he told me it would be ready the next day.

I go in the next day and my car is ready before he told me it would be. He then came out himself and showed me the old parts from my car and exactly what was wrong with them. He explained to me everything and I felt like I got my money's worth - and then some. He really knew Hondas.

This place specialized in Hondas and Acuras. If you have one of these makes I highly recommend this place.
