I've been taking all of my cars to Bobby for over a decade now. There isn't anyone else that I would trust as much as him to do a quality job at a reasonable price. I'm so glad to have a mechanic that is actually worth recommending for once!

Kara Higgins Lewis

These guys are the only people who have ever worked on my cars. They are trustworthy, honest and knowledgeable, especially with Lexus and Toyota vehicles. They also understand customer service better than anyone else in the industry. Highly recommend.

We went to Kettering for Thanksgiving and as luck would have it, our car started acting up about an hour out, Tuesday night. A Google search for Lexus repair came up with Covenant Automotive. I called them the next morning and they got me in that afternoon. The holiday complicated getting the parts but they were still able to get it fixed and we were back on the road as scheduled. I was sincerely amazed at their thoroughness in communicating with us during the whole process. They sent us photos and even a video showing what they found, including recommendations for future maintenance/repairs. I am so appreciative for all their help to us!
