Very disappointed. I took my Land Rover to them because they advertised themselves as Land Rover specialists. I told them that I needed the control module which needed to be programed to the key and ignition system to start the vehicle. after having the vehicle for over two months, they charged me for a diagnostic service saying that I needed the control module, but they do not have the equipment to program Land Rovers. the reason I went there in the first place, and they previously said they could fix.

I had to then have my vehicle towed to HH Land Rover. So, I paid for something I told them I needed in the first place, and it took them over two months to come up with that same conclusion.

Can't say enough about these guys. I was stranded in Charleston on vacation with very little help from Land Rover (Asheville AND Charleston, long story). Brian took my LR2 right away, found the part, and got it installed for hundreds less than LR. I hope nobody needs repairs but if you do, these are the guys to call. Thanks again gents.

Bryan has always treated me extremely well and provided excellent customer service. He has taught me a lot about how my vehicle works. I think it's safe to say I have become a loyal customer. As any owner of a older Range Rover will tell you, there is always something that needs to be done. Sometimes it's not too expensive, sometimes it is expensive, but the preventative maintenance (and more immediate needs) that I have performed at AA Auto Service is letting me drive my dream car and thus far avoid any breakdowns.

I would like to personally thank Bryan for how he treats me and my vehicle. It is much appreciated, especially when he warns me of issues that he can see coming! That allows me to start budgeting for the next fix. - Matt

NEVER take your vehicle to AA for ANYTHING! Their work is shoddy at best, they do not listen to customer concerns and they create issues with your car hoping to scam more work!

Went to Baker Land Rover Dealer first, overcharged and didnt fix issue. Brian and Brad knew what issue was and fixed our LR4 as quickly as possible. Land Rover repairs are always high. AA Auto was more than reasonable and helpful in explaining repair. We look forward ro recommending them and using them in the future. There was a possibility of one other issue and Brian ordered the part just in case, but we did not need. That is going over and above for sure!

Do NOT take your Land Rover or any other car here. I took my new (to me) Defender 90 to them for an oil change and to install the 4 jump seats in the back. I had temporary prepositioned the seats in the back to where I assumed they went. Apparently they were placed in the wrong spot but, AA went ahead and installed the seats in this position without even talking to me.

I would have never had them install seats in the wrong place. Get real. I'm a novice at best when it comes to this car. They initially wanted $200 to install the 4 seats, working at $100 an hour. I was told that not just anyone can install these seats so I felt comfortable with them doing so and we agreed on $150. Well, when I got home I found out that the seat backs we not screwed in (apparently I told them I wanted to install those which makes NO sense) and the seat bottoms were installed incorrectly.

The support on the jump seat does not support the seat when its down. Why a company would ever install something that is incorrect is beyond me. I paid them to install the seats correctly and they failed miserably to do so. I then took the truck back for them to fix the seats thinking they would make it right. After talking to them on the phone (it'll only take a couple hrs to fix).4 days later I got a call saying that they installed the seats how I wanted them.

Why would I want seats installed incorrectly? Now to fix the situation Brian wants 4-5 hours to make it right, meaning $400-$500. Who is he kidding? This place is a joke. I even have sent them other Defender 90's in the past and this is the level of the customer service that they provide. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. I read the other reviews of this place and figured I'd give them a shot.

I should have stuck with my gut and taken the other negative reviews seriously that I've read. There's a reason why our friend in common doesn't bring his truck to you anymore either. Lots of thanks for nothing. Act like you care about your customers next time before you install something incorrectly. Tyler 843.737.1380

They raised the prices after I was given an emailed quote. When I asked why, they said it took longer than they thought to fix. That's not how that works, that is on the mechanic, not me. I had to pay because they had my keys.

DONT USE THIS SHOP My car went in and out of the shop three times for new issues each time within a single month. They dont check their repairs and are horrible with goosing you. I honestly believe they would break something new each time so I would have to bring it back in. I finally fixed the last problem myself and it cost me $85 dollars to fix and 20 minutes of my time and they wanted $350 dollars and 2 days to fix it. THE WORST SHOP EVER!. IT WAS A SIMPLE RADIATOR HOSE THAT WAS CLIPPED ON PURPOSE
