They did a diagnosis and they name all the things wrong with it. Instead of focusing on the main problem
I won't have my vehicle towed there again

Free oil change
After a complimentary oil change, I was informed of a brake problem with my rotors and calipers. I had work done at a different shop whose warranty offered a slightly lower price, but their estimate was fair, and I am back on board with this. company!

Quick and communicative
Called in the morning and they had me come in later that same day. Great service and let me know that I needed an oil change so I could get that done at the same time instead of making two separate trips. Very happy with my visit.

Amazing Service
Central Automotive was highly recommended to me and I now know why. Impeccably clean and bright, the garage looks nothing like a garage, and the explanation of what my car’s problem was easily understood by the likes of me.
Impeccably clean was impressed that I received a text when my car was ready. Prices are reasonable. Sounds too good to be true, but it’s true.

Alignment
Very cheap and thorough, told me everything wrong w my car didn't try and make me get services I didn't need. ( Prices for other services were high in my opinion but with this economy it's expected so they can pay their employees a good wage)
