Professional, knowledgeable, friendly and honest. I took my Audi Q7 2017 for inspection because I was getting a message on the dashboard. Few hours later they call me to tell me that everything looks fine and they reset the message. I paid $50. They did not have to do anything. I highly recommend it. I take my Lexus also for years.

I have been going to Certified Automotive Repair Service since I moved to San Antonio 24 years ago and have never had a problem with their service. When they diagnosed os your car, they not only identify the problem but provide options for repairs. You will never find a better Repair service.

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.

Bottom line, I had $1, 500 budget to fix my old car, they lost my business! When I dropped off my old car, it was not starting. They kept it, and I asked them to give me a quote BEFORE any work/cost would incur. I gave them a check list that the mechanics across from them gave me, where I had done some work on my…
