After 5 Automotive

Beware!! This fast talker is as close to a crook as I have ever met. He told me it would cost less than $200 to service my A/C. $60 for 2 lb of freon and $125 for labor to vacuum the system and refill with freon. He had my wife sign a repair ticket that was not completely filled in with prices. He told her to just fill in the top portion and he would fill the rest. Told us to come back in 1 hour. One hour later he tells us the compressor is bad and it will cost $1,200 extra for the compressor and dryer plus additional labor. I told him the compressor clutch was engaging this morning before I dropped it off. He got nervous when I started looking and found the compressor was unplugged. He said well after I have serviced it you may be ok, I'll plug it back in and try it. The compressor start

Alan did an amazing job fixing my AC in the heat of the summer! It now runs even better than when it was new.

The man is very knowledgeable on a/c systems and probably cars in general. However he talks too much. He talks too fast. It seems he charges just to be in his presence of wisdom. He’s not cheap. A mechanic that speaks that fast knowning he knows more and you probably don’t know a thing to me is a bad sign. He’s trying to spit a bunch of information at you sounding very wise with what he’s talking about but in the mean time you don’t know what he’s talking about. He provides assessments without a repair. His assessments cost quite a lot and at the end of it he hasn’t done anything expect spit out a bunch of information that you couldn’t hear half of. I don’t trust fast talking mechanics. I would not recommended this gentleman. I held up my deal by ponying you about 300$ just for him to look

Allen is a very nice and honest man. I was referred to After 5 by my friend Roseanne. I took my car to him after sudden car trouble and he found out it was just a spark plug, so he changed it and the spark plug wire and my car was back to its normal self. A few days later, I took my car out of town and the same issue came back. So I called Allen and told him what was going on, he told me to keep and eye on it and bring it back in when I got back to town. Come to find out, a different spark plug had gone out. Allen then changed that plug and wire and didn't charge me a penny more. Car is running great again! I will definitely be taking my car back to him for future maintenance! I highly recommend After 5! Thank you, Allen! ~Scott with the white Grand Prix.~

I called Alan around 1:30 on a Saturday and told him about my a/c on my 2011 Yukon XL Denali. I noticed it stopped cooling at idle. I was not able to bring it in right away due to I was getting lunch for my family. He worked with me, and I was able to get my Yukon to him at 2:30 or so and he got my car cooling like it is supposed to be cooling again. He did the job right and took the time to suck down the a/c system like you are supposed to. And charged the a/c back to what the Manufacturer suggests. It is working like it used to now. Alan is honest, hard-working and will not sell you extra things that you don't even need. Alan is a professional all around mechanic!
