Consistant good service.
For the second time, Robert's took on a complex repair involving hard to find parts and saw it through without going above the original estimate.

Interaction, helpfulness, honesty, and conscientiousness
Re to the review title w/ Christian at the front desk in particular in mind, "what makes the place so great" is as follows:
1) Interaction: Christian is nice, patient, calm, easy-going and hence a communication pleasure.
2) Helpfulness: Christian picked up the phone to pave the way for me w/ Hertz Rent-a-Car, thereby (a) doing the (preliminary) work for me and (b) enabling me to benefit from their (Robert's & Hertz) arranged discounted rate.
3) Honesty: Had Christian not informed me that water pump & component kit were under warranty, I would've been none the wiser. IOW, by not revealing the warranty, the shop could've pocketed extra money. Rather, by revealing the warranty, I kept the extra money in my pocketbook.
4) Conscientiousness: In January 2018, Christian stood his ground about Robert's continuing to work on my car until its check-engine light disappeared, albeit I tried to put off the persistence for time & money constraints. I responded in agreement to his call out of respect for his judgment & above-&-beyond determination. As a result, in March 2018, my car passed its smog check w/ flying colors first-time around. Therefore, Christian spared me double the work of having the car fail its smog check the 1st time, solving its smog check-fail problem(s) at Roberts and having the car pass its smog check the 2nd time.

Great personnel, great service, everything on schedule
Although there is a dealership for my (old car) across the street, Robert's is more efficient, less expensive, so I go there.

The Best!
Always a pleasure to have my car worked on by Robert's. Honest, friendly and helpful staff, you know your vehicle is being taken care of and the job is top notch. Robert's has been taking care of my cars since the mid nineties, proof of their quality of work!

Great Service, As Always at Robert's
My car has 140,000+ miles on it and it runs great. I attribute that to the high quality service I get at Robert's. Their pricing is excellent and I know I can really trust Keith, James and their team of mechanics.

Fixed 2006 Chrysler 300 Limp Mode Issue
Issue with car going into limp mode was diagnosed then fixed (it was stalling when going between 1rst and second gear from time to time and also it would not go past 60 mph intermittently. Turned out to be the transmission fluid filter, line and valve needed replacement - car is at 160,000 miles. Running now like new again. Great fast turn around. Friendly service.

First time at Robert's
I took my truck to Robert's after it was recommended to me by a coworker of mine. I went in for routine service (oil change, alignment, headlight restoration) and was extremely happy with the service they provided. James set up my appointment over the phone and was also there to take care of me when I took my truck in. He is a great guy, as are the mechanics. I would definitely recommend Robert's to others and I will be coming back for all my future auto needs!

James, my service provider was good at communicating during the diagnostic process. He was detailed and clear in describing the suggested plan of action. Overall the mechanic did a very complete diagnostic, the job was done quickly and to my complete satisfaction.

Awesomeness and efficient!
I pulled in because my service light wasn’t on and this was the first place I passed! They turned out to be fantastic. Very fast and patient with me (I don’t know much about cars). Also, conveniently across the street from a 7-11 so I could grab a snack while I waited. I’ll definitely return when needed!
