Honest and great at what they do!
I was referred to Dave & Chris at Action about 12 years ago and I haven't been let down once. These guys are super friendly, accommodating and first class at what they do. They'll be honest with you before work begins and even recommend used parts as cost savings measures if available and if the circumstance is right for it. Finding a great auto mechanic is like finding a doctor you like and trust. Action Auto is my car's doctor for life.

After they fix my cars I dont have to bring them back for the same problem
Dave & Chris have always been upfront with me. Even when I ask dumb questions they answer them. They have been my mechanics for years.

Excellent Service- Peace of mind!
Dave really stands behind the cars he sells. My granddaughter purchased a vehicle about 3 years ago. He services the vehicle and completes any repairs at a minimal cost. Thank you Dave !

SECOND REVIEW
This is my 2nd review of Action Automotive and it is quite different than my first, which I entered right around the time of purchase. As mentioned, the issues that were brought up prior to finalizing the sale were addressed, HOWEVER, here we are a few months after and things are breaking down on the vehicle left and right. Coincidence!?!? Don't think so. First one head light goes out than the car started making a loud noise coming from the fan when the AC was running.
I was told this was normal, then the second headlight goes out all while the Loud noise was getting worse and worse. Finally on a trip back from Springfield with our older German Shepard in the car this past weekend it made some Really loud noise and than the AC stops working all together and the car was blowing nothing but Hot air which almost killed our dog from heat exhaustion. Needless to say I am disgusted with the Action Automotive and feel the car was fixed just enough to make it past the 30day warranty. Funny that other reviews are now mentioning the same thing with their vehicles they purchased. Also only gave me 2k for my Jeep and turns around and sells it for over 6k. In an attempt to schedule an oil change, seemed like they could not have time and kept requesting for me to leave the vehicle which was not possible due to my work schedule. Finally after bringing it in last week and waiting in the parking lot I asked if the tires were also going to be rotated as agreed per the purchase guarantee which the owner Dave seemed to be annoyed at that I even asked. After everything mentioned above the trust was now gone so I stayed in the parking lot and watched the service being done and it seemed that the oil pan was not removed and oil was just topped off. I did ask if the oil was change/replaced and was told Yes. BUYERS BEWARE!
