“Great and honest guy. Stands behind his word! Was looking for a specific part for my yxz and he put in his own time and effort in finding me what I needed. A+”

“Al should rename the shop uncle Al’s air conditioning service shop? He did a great job on getting my AC working and charged me a reasonable price I give uncle Al four stars plus one for the chat time.”

“Super great and easy! Saved my day by taking me in last minute”

“Uncle Al’s Automotive Services is great. Our family had a personal emergency where we are going to travel across the U.S. during winter and we needed to have our vehicle inspected before we hit the road. Even though Uncle Al was busy, he was very kind to squeeze us in. He learned we needed front brakes. I told Uncle Al, I have gone to several mechanics and mentioned to them, I felt something was wrong with the brakes but the mechanics that I visited in the past, could never find anything wrong. I am so grateful Uncle Al found out I needed brakes. I feel so much safer and so grateful. Thank you Uncle Al’s Automotive Services.”

“Was traveling from Colorado to take my YXZ to Winchester Bay, had an issue in which resulted finding a part that was discontinued. After reaching out to a few others, Alan Anderson was strongly recommended. My search was over as he had the exact part I was after. Excellent individual, very knowledgeable to other inquiries I had. However, he has earned another life long customer. He’s got you covered!”

“Recently contacted them for some information. Responded in a timely manner and was very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend them”

“Very nice owner”

“Good service and stand behind there work.Update: I used uncle Al’s back in February 2021. I had several things done on a new (used) vehicle. I left with all the work done that was asked for, and a good idea of things that would need to be looked at in the future. So my wife and I started off on our 3200 mile cross country trip in the new car the next day. Everything was going well untill we got in to Topeka KS, some 2300 miles away. We had an issue with a timing belt skipping a few teeth and causing issues. We found a shop in Kansas and they said they could fix the issue. I called al and asked about his warranty on workmanship and he was quick to contact the other shop and get them working on it.My wife and I were back on are way by the end of the day and got home 2 days later. I then contacted AL about the bill and he was very polite over the phone and asked me to send him copies of the bill and he would get a check out to me. I was very happy to work with such a stand up individual. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest, quality service. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”

“The best mechanic around !!!”

“Uncle Al’s Automotive performed a thorough and detail-oriented repair of the air conditioning system on my ‘97 Chevy 1 ton pickup in preparation for an extended trip into the late summer heat of SE Oregon. I was first of all very impressed that Al agreed to take the truck in almost immediately for a diagnosis of the problem. That in itself was so pleasing and exceptional actually, as the other repair shops that I called either never returned my call for repair information or scheduling, or told me that the earliest they could even look at the truck was in September. (This was 2 weeks after my scheduled trip.)So Uncle Al was certainly accommodating and made big points with me straightaway for their willingness to provide almost immediate service.The diagnosis of the A/C problem progressed quickly, and a new compressor was lined up to replace the faulty original unit the very same day the truck was brought to them.After the replacement of the compressor, it was communicated to me in a timely manner that the fan clutch was not moving enough air for the A/C system to “blow enough volume”; so the fan clutch had to be replaced as well.In the end, Al and his crew flawlessly diagnosed the problem, repaired the priblem with speed and dispatch, and had the truck ready to go in that very same evening of the day the repair was begun!!So I can heartily and sincerely recommend Uncle Al’s as a fully professional AND customer oriented shop, whose services I highly recommend!And Uncle Al really is an uncle, too!”

“Al has helped me out with different clutch issues on my car multiple times. When I order parts from him they ship fast and the used parts I have bought from him have always been high quality. His knowledge on the YXZ is unbelievable and I am grateful that he shares his knowledge with me.”

“Great People”

“Al made me a great deal on a very clean YXZ! Well worth the drive from Spokane!”

“The team at Uncle Al’s automotive are absolutely fabulous. I’ve had several vehicles worked on, from tune ups, oil changes, clutch replacements, and new transmissions. I could go on. Al & team have always been, professional, respectful, honest & affordable. Being a female sometimes people take advantage. That’s definitely not the case here. I trust that they will take care of whatever concerns or questions I have. I’m extremely transparent and direct and it’s so refreshing when I know that I will get the same in return. I definitely highly recommend this shop.Thank you”

“Great service.”

“Al and his team do great work for a fair price. Our family has used their services for years.”

“Had a quick problem with filling my transmission fluid (didn’t have a long enough funnel) and they filled it for free, I still left them $20 because how how badly I needed it. Polite and nice, I have zero complaints.”

“WOW!!! When my roommate told me he has a “honest mechanic” …. I thought right and I have a unicorn for a pet. Well, I now have a unicorn.Al is awesome!!! I took my car in before the heat wave for an A/C check. I knew it was going to have to be replaced. :(He explained everything me to me and offered alternatives. I bit the the bullet and said fix it … but, when could I have it back. (Mind you I did just drop it off that morning). I explained it was my only mode of transportation..,.. HE STAYED UNTIL 9pm to fix my car and then came and picked me up.Such great service and he is truly and HONEST MECHANIC… my unicorn. :)”
