Auto Electric Rebuilders

I called to book an appointment. I spoke to Tim, who I assume is the owner… He tells on me on a Wednesday to come in on Thursday. I’m ready to go on Thursday and he tells me to come on on Saturday and then hangs up on me. What kind of a business owner breaks an appointment with no apologies and hangs up on his potential customers in the process? He is very difficult to understand, short on the phone, and rude. He claims to give a «free estimate» but judging by his lack of professionalism, I believe it’s classic bait and switch to get you in the door and then slam you with a more «extensive» inspection. In any case, I am not going to do business with somebody who treats his potential customers this way, right out of the gates. How can a «business» like this stand behind their work?

Great work done here. I just had a window motor and regulator replaced on my sons 1997 honda civic. Very friendly and great prices. Highly recommend this place

My brother has had great experience with Auto Electric Rebuilders. He even recommended them to me. However my experience was not so wonderful. They were over priced but said they had the part so I ordered one. They sold me an ECM for my vehicle it turned out to be the wrong one. They got a second one a week later and it was no better. They have terrible communication practices and if it were not for me calling them they would not have contacted me. I would not go back again. My brother still swears by them. I will say this, I did receive a full refund with no argument. That was nice…

Tim is amazing, he was able to find the problem in my car, and gave me a great deal, this man is honest, reliable and truly a good person, highly Recommended!

I’ve gotten a couple rebuilds from them for a 1995 Infiniti Q45. Why I mention the make /​year is that it’s very important to get the exact part for the car because the fit is very tight in the engine compartment. Most auto stores use rebuilders that have pretty loose definitions of what qualifies as a replacement part. With the Q45, it has to be the exact part or it won’t fit. You can’t use a «Nissan series xxxx» rebuild. These guys have the exact part, or they’ll rebuild yours.

I work for a repair shop and these guys are great!!! We have had 2 ecu’s rebuilt by them. We drive from south la county just to get great service from Tim. Thanks for the great work!

My wife’s car had a driver side window that just stopped working one day So I called a friend of mine who’s a master mechanic. He referred me to this place and said they are the best around and the price was far less than other places and he could do it in an hour.
I called around to different places to get pricing and all the other places i called said it would be $ 100-​$ 200 more than this place and take a couple of days to do. I called Tim he said just bring it on down we will get it done in a hour, I went and they took the car in right away.
I figured an hour I’ll just wait for it so I sat down and waited it wasn’t 30 minutes and he said it’s done they will bring it around in just a minute which they did. They did a great job and they guarantee the work, Tim was friendly and professional I will definitely come here again and tell my friends and family about this place. Great Job Great price, thanks Tim you guys are awesome.

Clearly MN did not deal with the same great folks that my dad and I have been dealing with. AutoElectric Rebuilders are awesome! They aren’t some scammers like Monkey Nuts story over there with the 1 star. He clearly was the problem, not the store.
As I’ve stated they know their ish, handle business quickly, and have a fair price. Doesn’t get much better than that people! 20+ years of business and will continue to do business with them in the future!

these guys are as good as it gets…
i brought a starter to them off my 03 hino (box truck)
rebuilt in an hour.
for a great price…
i hear they can due anything dealing with auto electronics.

As a limousine operator, I have plenty of auto service issues come up. Again not the prettiest place to look at, these guys rebuilt an air spring compressor motor for our bus same day. Save us over $ 800 by not replacing the motor. Good service, quick turn-​a-​round cannot say enough about them.

Somebody told me about this place last year. My car had some serious electrical problems. In fact I thought my car blew up and would never run again… A mechanic friend came to my house, diagnosed the problem (which was serious. Antifreeze leaked into the cars computer which blew out other electrical parts) TIM found us a computer and a few other parts for a fraction of the cost of what other car repair places wanted to charge. The place looks like a junk yard but TIM is a great guy and very helpful and his prices are very reasonable. TIM saved me HUNDREDS of dollars.

First off this place is an auto part store not an auto service garage. I’ve been going here for years and they’ve been really helpful to me. I get all my ECUs and Power Window Motors here. They even have distributors and rebuild alternators and starters here as well. Tim is an alright dude over there. I know he doesn’t like to explain his work often but he’s really knowledgeable when it comes to parts and make of the cars. Auto Electric Rebuilders is an Electrical AUTO PART STORE. So the guy complaining about this place is a scam maybe theres reasons why he didn’t want to explain his work to you? Maybe they aren’t certified to work on your car. Maybe he doesn’t like you and didn’t want to explain his work. lol. But you wouldn’t go to Auto Zone and ask someone to work on your car. As far as I know they’re alright. Its another one of those Mom’s and Pop’s auto part store that try and help you out the best they can. I know they’re pretty well known for having hard to find ECU’s and things like that. But as far as going there for service. I’d think twice.

this was the worst place ever. its a typical scam.
i work on cars and i just didnt have the time to work on my car this time. i needed it to work. its my daily driver and i am a student getting ready for the new semester.
i have some electrical issue.
when i dropped it off i told Tim, the owner, that i had two issues. he told me that he wasnt like other places. he said he would only ask for one amount and that it would be fixed no matter what it took he would only ask for 170.00.
he also stated it would only take a few hours. i can come back to pick it up the same day on friday. that sounded kinda high but i needed it fixed asap. so i agreed.
he surely calls me in a few hours later to say that i can come and take it now.
when i walk in the door i asked did he fix the two problems. he said he fixed one and that it should have also automatically resolve the other problem. i said are you sure? did you test it? he said no but he thinks it should have. he then insists that i pay for the labor immediately without me inspecting it. i said can i test it to make sure, he said i needed to pay first. so i didnt think much about it so i paid. he said after i paid, he was worried that he may have over charged me for the simple work he had done to the car as he pointed to me that the car was in the back. he also said the key is in the car in the back. i was kinda worried about that cause this is not in the safest place and people seemed to just go back and forth here off the streets.
since i know my car and how to work on it, i opened it up and inspected it. i noticed that all he did was just spliced and taped some wires together. i then asked what else did he do? he refused to explain the work. he said it was a trade secret. i know if i take out the loom of wires i can figure it out. but i paid this guy and he should tell me the issues. i rebuilt the engine myself so i am not new to this car. also the main reason i ask is because i needed to know if what he did will conflict with other stuff later down the road and he refuses to tell me.
well i took the car for a run and only half of the problem was fixed.
i went right back after a block away. i said the other issue is still there, he said to leave it for another full day and he will fix it for sure.
so i just left it that day so i didnt have to drop it off again on the next day, which would be saturday.
the next day i called him and asked did he fix it?
he said he did have time. he had so many other cars to work on.
he needs another day.
so i said ok.
i came by the next day to see whats going on with my car. he seemed very suprised that i did come by. he didnt seem to want me to go to the back and check out the car. so i asked did he find out the problem. he said the worker came in to work on his personal car. no time to work on mine.
so i said what do i do? he said even tho the following day is a sunday his worker will come in to check my car out. so i needed to leave it another day. so i said ok.
i called sunday and no one picked up the phone.
monday was a holiday so i didnt expect anyone to be there.
tuesday afternoon i come by to check out the car.
he now says i needed to replace a part that didnt need to be replaced because it was a part i just tested out myself and there is no way that part could be broken. he said that i needed to buy that part and replace it myself. i was like what??? arent you supposed to replace the part no matter what cause thats what you originally offered me?!
he said he doesnt do mechanical work but only electrical. i said the problem should only be electrical but why over charge me if your not going to fix it. i asked if he test all the wiring especially the area i know is causing the problem. he said no he didnt test it there.
he said its too hot for his worker to do anything so i will need to leave it for another day.
now many of you are saying, there was a ton of signs for this being a bad place and i should not have left my car there for so long but i needed the car to run and i didnt have the time to fix it myself. so opted to leave it but i have asked for my money back and for him to undo his work as he offered. he said it would only take a few mins to undo the current work.
he does a hack job and if you dont care about the car then go to him as he may over charge you a just spicing and taping up wires.
Tim is very arguementative and doesnt want to listen to customers.
i do NOT recommend to go here at all. if your broke and needed help i would only ask Tim and not have him work on the car.
