Friendly 1 Auto Repair

Was a real blessing to find Ivan's shop after I had an emergency brake line failure on the road close to his shop. Not only did he replace the lines quickly and at a reasonable price but it was a pleasure to deal with him with great communication. Will definitely be returning here in the future and recommending his shop to all my friends and family.

Ivan replaced my rear brakes on my explorer. Not only was he friendly, he gave me his recommendations and gave me a great price for the replacements. The icing on the cake when he told me it would take him about an hour and he did exactly that. I have truly found my mechanic and strongly recommend him to everyone.

Ivan took great care of my car. I needed brake lines on both sides. He repaired them at a very reasonable price. Also while he was testing the brakes after he replaced the lines, he noticed my radiator cap was not holding pressure and he replaced it at no charge. I am extremely grateful for his service to my car. 😀👍🙏

I have been taking my vehicles there for a couple years and have no complaints. Ivan is great. He’s very honest and up front about everything. Pricing is fair and service is great. My cars are repaired in a reasonable time and to my expectations and beyond. I won’t take my vehicles anywhere else. This a great family owed small business and I will continue to support them. You won’t regret taking your vehicles to them.

Ivan is my HERO! Had an oil pump failure while traveling and found friendly 1. Ditto another comment: a real blessing to find him. Did a fantastic job, excellent customer service and a caring guy. Thank you Ivan!

Ivan and his crew were able to replace my brakes and rotors quickly and efficiently and significantly cheaper than what other places have quoted me. Ivan is looking into some other work that needs to be done on my truck so I will be back soon. Highly recommend having them check out your vehicle for whatever is needed.

I cannot recommend this place enough! Quality and knowledgeable service, affordable prices, and Ivan (the owner) is fantastic to work with!

Ivan(owner)was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad he did. My son had hit an object underneath the front of his car.I talked with Ivan he took the time to help me over the phone as to what he though the problem might be and possible cost. After seeing the vehicle he explain what he would do to fix the problem within my son’s budget. We agreed and within 3-days the car was ready. I’ve been around for a while and I can say this was the most pleasant auto repair experience. Ivan is both respectful and honest. When you need help, this is the place to go. H Humphrey

I was passing through when my car started acting up. As a single woman, there isn't much I dislike more then trying to find a mechanic that will be honest and trustworthy. I totally lucked out! Ivan and his team tackled a complicated issue made more challenging by faulty replacement parts. They were professional and made me feel very comfortable. The cost was totally reasonable too. I wish I had one of him closer to where I live. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shop if you want an honest, reliable, highly knowledgeable, and fare mechanic. If you want a bubble gum fix...go somewhere else. This place is old school, the kind of place that really knows what they are doing. A real gem.

I was three hours from home when my van's alternator went out. He got us in right away and had us back on the road. Super friendly, he went out of his way to take care of us! Highly recommend!!!

This place was amazing! We were on a road trip when our Engine stalled on Memorial day. They asked us to leave the car at their place and that they'd take a look at it the next day morning.

They were very cordial, their service was excellent (they diagnosed the problem with our timing belt with one crank), and their prices were fair.

They fixed our car the same day, and made improvements to the cabling over and above fixing the problem.

Overall, an excellent place to get your vehicle inspected and serviced. Great job, and thanks a bunch, folks!

My cars engine light along with 3 other lights in my car went off while driving home from work. I stopped at oriellys for the engine diagnostics, my engine was miss firing. They recommended Friendly 1 auto. I called, they got me in, fixed the problem in less then an hour. Ivan is anmazing person, He was very honest, helpful, friendly and the price was right. I highly recommend!!!!!!!

I am a first time customer to this shop and I must say all the positive reviews are true! Ivan went out of his way to squeeze me in and address an urgent brake issue on my daughter's car. We were back up and running in no time. Ivan was a pleasure to work with. I will be back to see him for sure!

This is the second vehicle they have fixed for me and the only shop i trust with my vehicles. They do expert work and have very high attention to detail. My car is hard to get parts for but they got it done pretty fast considering the difficulty getting and installing parts. Yall are great!!!

Amazing service, wasn't expecting to have my vehicle back so soon, by soon I mean ON THE SAME DAY! Ivan and his experienced mechanics offer amazing, high quality, fast and reasonably priced service 10/10. Do not hesitate to call him for service.

We have been taking our vehicles to Ivan for about 4 years now and he never disappoints. He is ALWAYS the best priced, but make no mistake, there is not compromise of quality. He recently replaced our engine and he came in about 50% cheaper than another shop, but got it done just as fast, the motor has less miles and looks a lot better. He is not selling himself short, he is simply helping his customers and doing a better job. This is the American dream and I am happy to say I am a customer for life.

I met Ivan a year ago after having a bad experience with a Lexington engine replacement shop. I approached him about my heater core a month ago and he gave me a reasonable price but what amazed me and my wife was that he required my vehicle an extra two days and paid for the additional car rental. This man is above honorable and with the greatest integrity that I have witnessed in a very long time. I recommend Friendly 1 Auto Repairs, Ivan and his auto repair team to everyone.

I highly recommend Friendly One Auto Repair, Ivan the mechanic is an amazing guy who knows his trade and did a fantastic job. I took my Kia Soul here for an engine replacement, he was the least expensive repair and did the job in a fast, friendly and courteous way. He was very good at communication and made sure I was informed every step of the way. He did the job professionally and invited me into the service bay to see the parts he replaced without me having to ask. He completed the engine replacement fast.

I don't think you'll ever find a great mechanic who is as honest and good at his job as Ivan.

I will be taking EVERY bit of vehicle repair, foreign and domestic, to Ivan and Friendly One Auto Repair from now on.

Ivan was responsive and professional. I needed an emergency repair when I broke down, I got quoted a fair price and he promptly made time to send me on my way. Thank you for your kindness and hard work!

Our vehicle had broken down while passing through town with no idea what was wrong. After Ivan examined our vehicle, turned out to be a brake issue. He fixed it and let it sit for 5 days until we could come get it. His price was more than reasonable. He is an honest and very helpful individual. Thank you, Ivan, for helping us make our trip a safe one.
