Long time customer - VERY disappointed - won't be back.
I've been a long time satisfied customer of Autoworld and always had confidence in the owner, Mike Cregger. Clean, well run, attentive, professional. Not anymore. Mike has sold the business. And, while the young fellows who now owns it seems nice, I was shocked to see how dirty the place was. And, there was a young boy, probably 10 years old or so, wandering about the shop. In fact at one point, I happened to see him poking a stick or something he'd picked up off of at tool cart, into my vehicles wheels. He seemed more or less unsupervised. I bit my tongue. There was also a "shop dog" (I like dogs) wandering about. Not professional. Also, while I was there I had made a request to have some things checked out, in addition to the specific service that was asked for. Mike would always review "what had been done" and "how things looked in general." I got "you're ready to go" without further comment. I almost asked for follow up, but decided what I'd get would be "sunshine" rather than anything substantive. If they didn't care enough to report out, they probably didn't do as I had asked. The final straw was my check out process. The fellow handling my paperwork had hands covered in grease and dirt. And while I know mechanics' hands get dirty as a normal part of their work, this fellow had made zero attempt to even wipe them off, let alone wash his hands before dealing with the customer. My paperwork was all smudged, and I had to wipe off my credit card before putting it back in my wallet. This finished me off. The actual service provided (as far as I know) was done OK. BUT, these days customer service and confidence inspiring customer communication is what separates one business from another, and in this case it was abysmal. I won't go back. I've also shared my experience with four or five people I had previously recommended to this shop. I told them to evaluate for themselves, but that I would not be going back. Sad to see. I used to value Autoworld as one of those resources I could count on for excellence.

Thank you for the review and feedback. We are very sorry we weren't able to meet your expectations. We are a family owned business and my 3 sons assist at the shop on a regular basis. I am training them to have a hard work ethic and they enjoy learning about our business. The 10 year old you saw was my son. Just to be clear, the stick you saw him holding was a tire pressure gauge and he was assisting me fill air into your tires. As for Waylon (our dog), he is a rescue dog and the maskot of our business. We are sorry about the grease on your card and paperwork. We appreciate good communication between our customers and all the feedback you have brought to our attention helps us to grow. I have talked with my technicians and we will address that issue promptly. Although we can't please everyone and we understand your frustrations and your expectations may not be what we can provide for you. We are dissapointed to see you leave and if there is anything we can do to earn your business back please give us a call. (951) 699-8260.

Thank you, 
Sammy

A job well done.
Sam and his staff are friendly and professional.
I have a wheel bearing problem on my Highlander. Sam took care of it, the grinding noise disappear.
I can rely on Autoworld to take care of my auto problems.

Service
I was very impressed with the service. I received a call regarding my car problem. I was told what parts were needed, and the cost for the parts and the labor. I felt the cost was reasonable.
The staff were very professional and personable. I am planing to take my car back for service. I appreciate the good service.

Far few and in between, Good people and good work
Let me start off by saying i don’t write reviews unless something really has to be said, after being jacked around by a couple other places someone told me to just go check this place out, I’ve learned that if someone knows everything then that’s not the place you want to bring your car, truck whatever. Auto World is the best place that i have been to since moving here from New Orleans Sammy and Cam from what i observed don’t throw parts at the problem or Chase ghost they find the cause of the problem I’m a mechanic myself but sometimes if you’re not getting the results you’re looking for you need to let someone else look at it from a different perspective Auto World Service Center will be the place i turn to if i can’t figure something out, good people and you don’t have to bend over when you get the bill im a honest person and i don’t bite my tough because it hurts Sammy his wife Cam and the other guys know what their doing, don’t take my word for it bring your vehicle there you won’t regret it

Honest people who do not overcharge
I brought my car in for a full inspection and they found nothing wrong. They didn't try to get me buy a service I didn't need or replace something that didn't need to be replaced.
