Services & What to Expect

These guys were actually helpful when I needed something. No nonsense, no runaround—just good service. If you’re looking for parts or advice, they’re the ones to call.

Tried calling this place three times, and every single time it was a joke. First guy picked up, listened to me say two words, then just hung up like I was wasting his time. Next person put me on hold and vanished—no call back, nothing. Third time, some dude answered like I was ordering a burger, said "hold please," and that was it. Never came back. If you need parts, good luck getting through.

Pulled into All American on a Tuesday with a car that was acting up, and I had no clue what the problem was. The owner came out, I started the engine, and in about 10 seconds he told me it was the alternator. Charged me $50 for the part, then pointed me to a solid shop to get it installed. The whole job cost me $125. Meanwhile, some local repair place wanted $550 for the same work. All American saved me a ton of money and hassle—thanks for looking out.

Called about wheels, got put on hold right away. Guy asks for the size, I say, "Hang on, I gotta check," and walk five feet to grab the paper. Dude’s like, "Nah, I can’t hold," and hangs up. You’ve got a customer ready to spend money, and you can’t wait five seconds? No wonder places like this go under. Probably spend all day complaining about customers while treating them like garbage. Enjoy your miserable little world.

Stan, the sales guy, was a lifesaver. Answered every question I had without making me feel stupid, and the price was fair—no upselling, no nonsense. Drove an hour to get there, so they made sure I didn’t have to come back. Busy place, but everyone stayed polite and on top of things. If I need parts again, they’re the first call I’m making.
