Fantastic job done by the mechanic(s). Super friendly and very efficient. Definitely will be my “go-to” place for maintenance if/when needed again! :)
Impressive Service Center
[Tire Sales / Replacement]
Impressive shop. This is a place that cares about their customers and cares about doing the job right. Great communication, helpful, timely. Glad I found a place I can trust! Added perk, surprisingly tech focused on the customer service side. The app they use is great, creates a costumer profile with vehicle service history, they send text updates and pictures when necessary. Scheduling is easy via text, app, or phone. I'll be using Clausen Automotive for any vehicle maintenance needs!
Thank you for the help

I needed urgent help when the ‘KwikLube’ accidentally overfilled the oil change and my Prius died in traffic shortly after. Thank you for helping on short notice, diagnosing the problem and providing the repair.

I've always had a good experience taking my car to Clausen Automotive. The staff is kind, informative, and the services are done in a timely manner. If you need any kind of car work done, I highly recommend them!
[Complete / General Auto Care]
Great experience servicing my car at Clausen. The staff gave me an honest assessment of the condition of my car (just bought used) as well as what was necessary to fix/service and what could wait, according to the manufacturer's recommendations and their own observations. I also really like their app and website where you can view (with pictures) what is being worked on and why. It also lets you see your whole service history with them as well as recommended upcoming services. After years looking for a qualified, honest and fair service center for my vehicles, I found Clausen to be the best place. Thank you!

Hybrid specialization & transmission fluid change
[Preventative Vehicle Maintenance]
I chose this shop because I have a hybrid & they have a specialization in hybrids. Got in within a couple of days for transmission fluid change. Received a very nice multi-point inspection report via text message with pictures. Friendly employees. Everything went smoothly. Recommended!
Stellar service every time
[Struts / Shocks]
I have taken two different cars to Clausen Automotive multiple times, for various reasons, and every time I go there I am always amazed with the quality of service I receive. I always receive a full breakdown of items needing repair, but I never feel pressured to fix things I don't want fixed at that time. Their pricing is fair, their estimates are accurate, and they are regularly my go-to repair shop. I cannot recommend them enough.

Foreign car Specialist
[Steering / Wheel Alignment]
One of the few places that work on foreign cars in madison and I was very happy when I found this out. Took dropped my car off for an alignment (Mercedes E350) and they did a great job. They also performed a 33 point inspection of my car and sent me a link to my phone where I could look at what they inspected and also the pictures they took of the inspection, all while still at work! I will be taking my car back here in the future if need be!

Easy to line up an appointment. Love their detailed inspection and online report which gave new insights and helps me budget for preventative maintenance while simply addressing the immediate exhaust issue at hand. I've also never had an mechanic follow-up to see how the repairs went. Really appreciate the customer service.

Clausen Auto review
[Heating / AC system repairs]
First time to Clausen Automotive and they were very nice. The repair took longer than expected and they gave me a loaner car so I could go home and relax since I live an hour and a half away. The air conditioning is working great now and it’s nice to know of a good place that works on hybrids but doesn’t charge as much as the dealer. Thanks!
Good service, easy to work with, trustworthy
[Complete / General Auto Care]
I have had Clausen do repair work on my vehicles going back to 2011/2012 and they have always done a good job and charged a fair price. What’s cool now is that they send out videos and photos of problems and general condition level of critical parts they find during inspection so I can see what they see which is great!

2012 Subaru engine and transmission repair
[Engine Service / Repair]
Our 2012 Subaru Outback needed fairly extensive engine and transmission work recently. It developed the factory's chronic failures of heads and gaskets, and torque converter lockup, common to these range of Subaru models. The local dealership of this brand, where we bought it, insisted their repair had to include several expensive and un-necessary extra parts and work, for a greatly inflated cost. Checking a few popular engine repair shops, who all refused to discuss symptoms, each wanting the car to do their own diagnosis and go on to repair it, out of my hands. No interest in my research, testing and prelim repair work done already, and at their extra fees, of course. I remembered Clausen Automotive's repair on another car of mine 20+ years earlier, which resolved many A/C leaks with no further problems. I discussed my Subaru engine and transmission work with Clausen's Service Manager Cameron Draws, who was very good to talk with, discussed what was needed, good explanations of repairs, agreeable to my requests, of me taking pictures of work in progress, and saving parts. The total repair cost was reasonable and better than all others. Technician Nick repaired everything very well and saved every old part for me to keep. Cameron kept me informed of progress along the way, and was very personable and friendly all along, and afterwards for any questions. Clausen's 24mo/24K warranty was double all the other repair shops, which I take as being confident in the quality of their own work. It helped that Clausen Automotive is NAPA affiliated and AAA recommended, and now top of my list for future repair calls.

[Brake Repairs / Replacement]
Great service! I went in asking for brakes to be replaced or at least inspected. They told me I did NOT need new brakes for another 10-15k miles and offered to service them since there was uneven wear on the front. I opted for the service and it did help since the brakes felt a little weird beforehand. I’ll definitely return and I’m glad I can trust that they won’t offer or push services I don’t need.

First time customer
[Manual / Automatic Transmission Repairs]
I was having issues with my ‘02 Nissan Frontier. It suddenly lost drive and began missing before it ultimately stalled and would not start. I chose Clausen because they are close to my home and have excellent reviews. They were able to diagnose the problem as a timing issue and quickly had my vehicle up and running again. The only problem I had was I picked it up on a Friday and started having charging issues. They are closed on the weekends so I had to take it to get the charging system tested at advance auto and discovered the alternator is bad.I had no charging issues prior to this so I am hoping Clausens will stand behind their work. I’m confident they will. Good, knowledgeable, honest mechanics.

Professionalism
[Battery Replacement / Install]
I was having issues with my engine not starting. I called and was able to get an appointment that day. They quickly diagnosed the problem and it wasn't the starter like I thought it was, But it was the battery. Knowing what I was coming in with they had already ordered a battery just in case for my car and within 45 minutes of me bringing the car in I was driving away and it starts. The associates that I worked with could not have been more thorough and also wonderful at describing the issues. I'm quite pleased.

I went to Clausen Automotive to have my vehicle diagnosed. Unfortunately my news from them was bad, they took the time to explain everything and even offered alternative ideas for my situation! They also gave me a ride from their shop home and back to pick up my vehicle. Cam was super nice and genuine! I felt like he treated me like family and really cared about my vehicle problems!
