I don’t normally go out of my way to write long reviews, but Robert at Automotive Guru absolutely deserves one.
Robert has now worked on three different vehicles of mine, all different makes, and every single experience has been excellent. The work has been flawless. I’ve never had to bring a car back because something wasn’t done correctly, and I’ve never felt like I was being sold something I didn’t need.
What really separates Robert from a lot of mechanics is the way he treats you. He’s patient, takes the time to explain what’s going on with the vehicle, tells you what needs to be done and why, and gives you a fair price. There’s no pressure, no runaround, and no mystery when you get the bill.
Finding a mechanic you can genuinely trust is not easy. After having Robert work on three of my cars and consistently getting the same level of quality and professionalism, Automotive Guru is the place I trust with my vehicles.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, honest, reasonably priced mechanic who actually takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Robert. Five stars without hesitation.

Tru LoveLocal Guide · 84 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Tru has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I brought my 2002 Honda Civic in after being told the alternator was bad.
It was replaced and the check-engine light was off when I picked up the car.
Shortly afterward, the car died and left me stranded in the middle lane of the road.
I had it towed back and was told the alternator had failed again.
I got a second opinion, and another mechanic determined the actual problem was the starter not the alternator. Now, my car is running smoothly with no problems.
My advice: always get a second opinion before paying for major repairs.
Ask questions, verify the diagnosis, and make sure you understand what you’re paying for.
Price assessment: Overpriced

Hello Tru, I am surprised by this review. When you picked up your vehicle, the starter was working perfectly normally, and you even texted me saying, 'Thanks Rob, car is driving good right now.' A week later, you reached out about a P0420 catalytic converter code, and I spent over an hour troubleshooting with you via text. You never mentioned a starting issue, and I invited you to bring the car back in so we could help. You even asked me to waive the diagnostic fees and I agreed. We cannot address issues weeks later if the vehicle is not brought back to our shop.

I had such a great experience with Automotive Guru! I called on Friday about an electrical issue with my car, and even though they were already busy, Robert was kind enough to schedule me right away on a Monday opening.
When I arrived, he immediately took a look at the problem and fixed it in less than 10 minutes. The whole experience was quick, very professional, and stress-free.
Robert was really honest and straight forward, and made sure to help me with some tips if I ever have the same problem again.
I really appreciate the amazing customer service and quick work. I 100% recommend Automotive Guru to anyone looking for an honest, reliable, and friendly mechanic. I’ll absolutely be coming back if I ever need help with my car again!

The most honest affordable mechanic i have ever had. He could have taken a situation i had wrong w my air conditioning and turned it to thousands of dollars but he didn't and found the true cause of the problem for less than $100!!!!! My new mechanic for life!

Robert is the absolute best mechanic we have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and has taken the time to communicate. He is not only an automotive guru, but the level of honesty and integrity he has displayed has been a blessing. If there were anyone that earns greater than 5 stars, it's Robert, the Automotive Guru.
