500 Automotive kept my 1984 Pontiac Sunbird running for 11 years, an admirable achievement for that piece of junk. When I had to replace the warped engine head, mechanic Kevin worked on it late at night (at no extra cost to me) because I needed the car and was on a freelance writer's income --that's an oxymoron! They even found a buyer for my car after telling me I needed a newer one. However, the newly repaired Sunbird was then totalled by a hit-and-run drug dealer on the lam! Now I have a 92 Mazda 626 which my mechanics spent all day checking (before I bought it) at no cost to me. They worry about me like a kid sister, and whenever I take the car in for maintenance or repair, they fix it right away and call me if they find anything wrong. Once, they fixed my brakes without calling first because the brakes were so bad; they said if I couldn't afford to pay the bill all at once, I could pay in increments. They once spent all day locating an electrical problem on my sister's car, and when they discovered it was only a loose bolt, they did not even charge her!

I've only been there one time. Local toyota dealership told me they would have to pull the head to repair a leak. Part of the cooling system on a 1989 toyota pu 22RE engine. Pipe goes into the side of engine below sorta fuel injection manifold. Dealership wanted $845. Ed did the job removing the manifold not pulling the head for $211. and replaced 4 seals on fuel injectors in the process to boot! I called today to schedual another appointment auto transmission doesn't shift into overdrive (yea i know 2 speed rearend ) before i could get through ED tells me about a ? cable ,line whatever that he may have gotten out of adjustment when doing prior work. Take it next monday he will take care of it. NEED I SAY MORE.

I have a 1995 Mazda 626 with over 210,000 miles. It has
been a great car, despite the fact that the 95 Mazdas had
terrible transmissions. (I didn't know that when I bought
it in 1998. Mine just started acting up in first gear at
198,000 miles. Ed sent me to a very honest, Christian
transmission specialist to run tests on it. First gear is
starting to fail, but car still runs pretty well.
Ed takes care of all my regular oil changes and all
repairs. I have been going to 500 Automotive for years.
He is really on my case now to get rid of the Mazda
because it needs more parts (a strut, another tail pipe &
muffler, transmission) than it's worth. He's that honest.
He could make a few boat payments if I fixed everything,
but he does not want me to put a ton of money in a 14-year
old car.

We have been taking our vehicles to 500 for about twenty
years. We obviously are very satisfied with both how our
cars or trucks have been treated as well as how we are
treated. Work has been done on various vehicles that we
have owned -- Nissans and Volvos. We have also purchased
used cars, but only after 500 has gone through them and
told us the condition. When we have needed some body work
or frame work, the other companies that 500 has told us
about have also been top notch. I always recommend 500 to
friends who are having car difficulties.
