Slimmer’s Automotive Service

This is the best car mechanic I’ve ever had. They have worked on my cars for years. They are reliable and honest (to a fault — one time I had a $ 16 repair!). They always take the time to explain what the problem is and even show the faulty part. Their scheduling is efficient, so the car is always done when they say it will be. A big plus for me is that they treat both men and women equally — no talking down to women or dismissing us. This is a great local business that does honest work. I highly recommend them!

They most honest mechanic you can get is a family member who’s worked on your cars for decades. The next best place you can go is Slimmers. They are a business so they’re not handing out charity work, but if there’s a way to keep your car repair bill lower, they will look for it. They absolutely do not recommend unnecessary repairs which is nice because mechanics at other locations always gave the vibe of wanting to squeeze every penny out of me.
Prices are competitive, they won’t always be the cheapest place in town, I do call around other places from time to time out of curiosity, but I’d rather pay the extra $ 10 – 50 going to them and being able to trust the mechanics rather than going someplace else that’s mildly cheaper and crossing my fingers they don’t try to rip me off and claim my car needs a monstrous repair.
The people who work there are polite and they’re willing to communicate by e-​mail, which works great with my schedule as a college student since I’m not able to answer phone calls when I receive them 90% of the time!

I give them 4 stars even though I have not yet employed their services.
I was recently looking for new tires for my car so — upon recommendation from several knowledgeable friends — I emailed Slimmer’s. I got a response by phone right away. The owners were incredibly helpful and even researched tires for me. Not only did they provide their costs, they recommended other places for me to look. When I found a deal on the tires I wanted and Slimmer’s couldn’t match the price, they told me honestly that — if they were in my shoes — they’d go with the deal I found.
They are honest, well-​spoken, and up-​front. Their prices are highly competitive and I’ve heard nothing but great things about their service.
