Recommended by my coworker. Quality and expedient service. Gave me a rundown of the services and allowed me to select what I needed to repair. Even recommended using an alternative company for tire replacement. That’s how you become a trusted advisor and my mechanic.

I have trusted Certified Auto with my cars for over two decades. Even though I moved my family to Canyon Lake recently, we still make the trip into San Antonio whether we need minor service, or major repairs.
