We took our 2021 Honda Mini Van to them because we thought we needed new alternator. Angel diagnosed it as a battery issue saving us money. Dropped car off and picked up the same day. The Service is A1 professional from the diagnostic to the repair. Will take my other cars there too.

I have taken several of my vehicles to Angel for many tasks, from very small to an entire engine replacement. In every case the work was completed in a very high quality way! They're a 10 in my book!!

Front desk woman was very kind, made polite conversation and I loved her dog. The fixes were affordable and they even aired up my tires. I called the day before, had an appointment for the next day and had my car back within that same day. Usually getting my car fixed is a very stressful event, so I’m very impressed by how smoothly everything went

I recommend this shop 100% without reservation. My brakes were in bad shape (in fact my entire car was having some problems but I knew I couldn't afford to get everything done). They were able to get me in the next day. Claudia at the front desk, the wife of Angel the tech, is friendly, kind and understanding. They kept me informed every step of the way, sent photos of their findings, provided me with quotes to sign before any work was performed, and charged me only for what was needed. They did a thorough inspection of my car and identified some other things that (unsurprisingly) needed to be repaired but there was zero pressure to get anything done immediately. As I said: this was an overdue brake job and they could have easily convinced me to buy calipers as I knew that was a possibility, but they found that mine were okay and didn't increase my costs unnecessarily. (I dropped the photos they sent into AI and the assessment of AB Auto Repair on the other issues was spot on.)
Picked up the car today and it's running beautifully.
This will be my go to repair shop from here on. I trust them, they do great work, their prices are very reasonable, they say what they mean and mean what they say, just seem to be good, hard-working, capable and honest people. As a woman with car issues who has been ripped off by auto repair shops my entire life, that is EVERYTHING. Support small business!!!
Price assessment: Reasonable price
