Bobby Child Auto & Alignment

This guy really looks out for you! I had break issues for almost half a year and had seen another automotive shop...no luck with that. Went to see Bobby, and he hooked me up with new, top tier brakes and I haven't had a problem since! He also did a balance, rotation, and alignment for me. He even explained to me how the balance and realignment works when they check your car so I wouldn't get tricked in the future. Overall, you really get the best service with Bobby. Great guy! Great business!

All I can say is wow, I would definitely NOT recommend. Unless you want unreliable work and to be car-less for almost two months. The fact that one of the reviews for this business is from his son and is biased to promote business doesn’t surprise me either. I’m a student at Clemson, and I only took my car to him because he was the first shop I was recommended by my brother. I sent my Camaro to him because there was an issue with the wiring to the starter that I couldn’t get to with the tools I had. Should have only taken 2-3 days at a normal mechanic. It took him 3 weeks on the first go around. He replaced my starter and ignition switch without even asking and charged me over $700 for it. (Which by the way is an outrageous amount for that kind of work if you’re car savvy). There was nothing wrong with my ignition switch or my starter to start with, but he swore there was. Both were fairly new and very functional prior to him having it. I went ahead and payed him though and picked up my car. I coordinated with him ahead of time and he said he would leave my keys in my ignition so I could get them…. I was extremely uncomfortable with this because if you know where his shop is, it’s in the middle of nowhere and leaving your keys in the ignition is basically just asking for it to get stolen. Especially a sports car. Well anyways, I asked him to leave it in the gas cap but he left them in the ignition anyways so that was very nice of him. I had also previously had LED interior lights installed prior to this, and one of those was ripped out, and I wasn’t given notice of this. I had to confront him about it. He also told me that I could only start the car if my headlights were on?? It wasn’t like that when I gave it to him, so I had to go back in behind him and change wiring around to fix that back to normal. I spent so much extra time getting that right. Fast forward to a week later and me having $700 less in my bank, now my car won’t start again. And would you believe what the problem was? Yep, the wiring. The wiring that I sent it to him to get fixed in the first place. I even gave him a schematic of the wiring so he could see exactly what was going wrong. But he still didn’t even fix the wiring. So I sent it back to him, and asked him to please fix the wiring. He did, and asked for an extra $150 dollars. (Keep in mind I still have broken LED interior lights that he was responsible for. The story doesn’t end here either. At this point, he has physically had my vehicle in his possession for 53 days in total between the two visits. On the day of pickup #2, He said he would be in his shop until 3 o clock for me to come get my car back, and I showed up at 2:45 only to see that no one was there, my car was left unlocked (again), and there were no keys anywhere to be found. My car has over $800 worth of sound system equipment in it and this guy left it unlocked again. No respect there. I called him when I couldn’t find him or my keys and got no answer so I left…… Later that afternoon he texted me back and said he left my keys under the floor mat of SOMEONE ELSE’S Mercedes that was also sitting on the lot unlocked. So shoutout to whoever has the Mercedes because I had to physically get into your car to retrieve my keys. I know how to hotwire an old car, and it’s not hard, and I can easily say that I could have stolen most of the cars on that lot with them being unlocked like mine and the Mercedes were. He never fixed my interior lights or reimbursed me for them, made me drive two hours to get my car between all the trips in one day, and overcharged me $700 for what most mechanics would have done for somewhere in the $400 range, and had my car at his shop for almost two months. Needless to say I lost a ton of money and time with this guy.
