My Review of Autometrics:
I was told Autometrics is solid. The best. My father has worked with them for over 20 years.

I bought a car from them that had a few flags, but I figured since it was Autometrics, there wouldn't be any problem. Within a week, I had transmission problems, one of the two things that they just happen to not cover 100% under their warranty. They offered to replace it new for $3100 or $1500 used (but no guarantee of work), but 50% off since it was under warranty.

Smelling a rat, I took it to another shop who fixed the major issue in two minutes. The transmission mount and seals weren't good, which means that Autometrics NEVER looked at the transmission. The price they were charging for a new transmission was $900 over what a dealer would charge. This other shop would put a used transmission for $750 and guarantee the work.

In short, I got screwed. My car wasn't the most expensive on the lot, but they were willing to screw me since they had made the mistake of taking the car in the first place.

The owner told me that he had to "do right by me" since he had worked with my father for so long. He didn't, proving he's just another used car salesman. Don't go to Autometrics.

My Review of Autometrics:
My husband and I attempted to buy a used car from this dealer. The salesman went back on a price he agreed to twice and when my husband asked to speak to the owner, the salesman put his hands on my husband's shoulders and ordered him off the lot. This was after a calm and rational negotiation process which took place in front of our young (20 months) daughter. Besides being dishonest in the negotiation, this salesmen essentially threatened us, raised his voice, and treated us as if we were dangerous in some way. His behavior was completely irrational and innappropriate.

My Review of Autometrics:
They were very helpful when we were shopping for a used Subaru. We bought a used outback, and they had a bunch of work done on it before we picked it up. Some of the work was necessary to bring it up to standards, but they went beyond what was absolutely necessary and what other dealers likely would have done. They even offered to have the front brakes rebuilt a week after we got it, just because they were squeaky and they wanted to be sure they were good. <br><br>The price was fair. Not a steal, but it was fair. They did everything they said they would. We would definately buy from them again.<br>
