Allen & Mark Auto Repair

Allen was great. I took my 1999 lincoln navigator in with a problem with my air suspension system. In the past, other mechanics patched the problem with new expensive parts. Allen saw that we could be chasing these problems time and time again due to the age of the vehicle. He recommended that we get rid of the air suspension all together and install shocks and spring suspension. This should rid me of future suspension problems. Also, the vehicle looks great and has a nice ride. Allen was very accommodating and handled everything quickly and in time for the car to be ready for carpooling kids to school. I think he put the safety of my children at the highest priority, even working after hours to get the job done. Thanks Allen.

Allen was AWESOME! He repaired everything that needed to be done to my jeep and it was a very reasonable price. When I picked the car up he also made sure to show me exactly what he did and why it had to be fixed. He sent me home with an itemized list with prices of things that should be done to the car soon but not immediately… that was very nice of him! I will definitely be taking my car back to Allen for any repairs.
P. S. He just happens to be a very sweet guy as well!

Allen came through again! I was trading my truck in for a new one, but needed to remove over $ 1,000 worth of parts to re-​use on my new truck. I had to have this done that day. I had no appointment, and was in a real bind.
Allen took me in immediately, and meticulously removed all my parts. When he finished, it looked as if the parts were never there!!! That’s how good he is.
Thanks again Allen for being the best mechanic I’ve ever used.

Update! I just got my car back today from this amazing shop and now I can stop worrying!
A week ago I got a very bad oil change with a terrible shop and oil started leaking everywhere! I panicked and called Allen and Mark and they told me I can bring it after work. I left my car there and they had everything completed for me by early afternoon today! The oil change shop ended up stripping up my oil drain plug. Not only did this awesome shop fix everything for me they noticed that my radiator cap was broken and replaced that for me too. I am so thankful I am able to rely on a trusty mechanic to help me out! :)

I brought my car in to get a tire repaired and Allen came out to greet me and promptly got the job done and charged me an amount much lower than I expected and was very friendly and courteous the whole time. I will definitely use his services again and highly recommend his shop to anyone seeking auto repair or just maintenance.

The first and last time I came here was in September 2012 when Allen checked my car out. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and didn’t even charge me for the time he spent on it.
Last week, I made an appointment because my car had stalled two different times during the week. I also needed a ‘Smog Only” test on the car, which Allen said he’d take care of.
In an hour or less, my car was thoroughly checked over and a dirty something or other was cleaned, which was the cause of the stalling. The ‘Smog Only’ test also had been done and electronically mailed to DMV, while I sat comfortably reading a fashion magazine. The cost was minimal and I left there feeling good and knowing that I can trust Allen & Mark to be honest and forthcoming regarding my car, which incidentally is a 1985 Chevy Celebrity with low mileage.
In simple terms, these brothers are the best!

I’ll admit it, I’m a procrastinator when it comes to changing my oil. I believe it was a Saturday when I finally decided to get around to it, but every place I called was either way over priced (asking upwards of $ 100) or not able to take me until the following week. I called Allen & Mark and not only would they take me that day, but their prices were very reasonable for a BMW. Aside from quick and efficient service, they also let me know that my alignment was off and that it was wearing down my tires which I had just got a month prior. I let him know I would like to take it back to the original place where I had the tires changed so they could assess the issue and replace it because I damn sure wasn’t going to pay for new tires again. He was totally fine with my choice and seemed generally concerned with my safety rather than having a pushy salesman-​like attitude about it. I appreciated his honesty, which made me feel confident in taking my car to him a few months ago when I was having some problems. Once again, they figured out the all of the issues, took great care of my car and had it running again like new in just a couple of days. I will continue to see Allen & Mark for my auto repair needs, and definitely recommend them!

I went in to get a much needed oil change and I had a few questions about my BMW 325i. Allen was very nice and very patient with all of my questions, he addressed all of my issues and was kind enough to sit with me and give me an exact breakdown of costs for future repairs. He quoted me for a lot cheaper than some other BMW shops. I will be coming back for the price as well as the service.

These guys were super friendly. I knew my car probably had to get something major done to it, but they were able to do it super inexpensively for how much it could have been. The car still runs great, and they also called me about a week afterwards to follow up and make sure I was still satisfied and not having any issues. I will definitely be going back to them!
Update: 1 year later and car still runs great!

Mark and Allen are just great! Really friendly… eager to help and very honest. My door lock actuator (I think thats how you spell it?) was not working anymore… and to my surprise… a very expensive part on a Nissan. But they found one used and were ½ the price of the dealership… including labor. I also brought my sons car in for an oil change. He just got the car in February and had not quite driven 2000 miles. They said it was a waste of money to do one since he had not hit 3000 miles yet. Now what auto repair place will be that Honest with you… only Allen and Marks Auto… I will be referring everyone their way.

If you’re a woman who DOES NOT want to get ripped off, GO TO Allen and Mark! They fixed my transmission in a day and a half, and when I told my guy friends about the price they gave me, no one could believe it! Allen and Mark are honest, professional, friendly guys… and I would highly recommend them :)

I have a 97 BMW 528 going past 200k mark and they have been keeping it running and saving me money on a car payment. You’ll get the best deal in town. Very professional and trustworthy!

My boss has had a few problems with his two cars — a 2011 Ford Flex and a 2008 BMW 535. The Flex was in a small accident, the BMW was hit by another car and had faulty rear lights.
The first problem was the faulty lights — I introduced myself to Mark — great guy (his brother Allen is just as swell) who was enthusiastic, friendly, and replaced the rear light bulb — charged me $ 5 for the light, but when I pulled out a card, he said ‘Forget it, owe me the $ 5.’ When I came back with $ 5, he said forget it, just come back next time.
When it stopped working again, a few days later, he pulled out the housing (for free, again) and found a fuse that was burned out. He told me to take it to the dealer, the car was still under warranty — they should fix it for free. They actually missed the problem the first time at the dealership, but that’s for another review.
They saved me money on the two body repairs as well — walked me through the process for the fixes, told me where all the charges were, and came in at or under estimates. They have been more than gracious, are very relationship-​oriented and personable, and always trying to save me/​my boss money. Old school — the way it should be!
I like these guys so much I created a business on Unilocal and wrote my first review ever — they really deserve all the love they can get. They’re new-​ish to the area, so they are still building their business — GO see Allen and Mark! You won’t be sorry!
