Great service again from Ray and his crew! Always good to know theres a place to get your vehicle serviced by good quality work! The detailing is always a plus!
Bob, the mechanic, kept me well informed throughout the day. He called early to tell me what repairs he needed to fix and provided very accurate estimates. He also gave me options. I felt that Ray Frey Auto Service Center was worth taking their advice. Also I had him remove the fogged corrosion from the plastic head…
These guys are the best. Fixed every issue I’ve had promptly at a fair price. They really do their homework too before making major repairs. Their electronics guy Miles, is a world class diagnostician.

Reliable, experienced, trustworthy and affordable. I just took my wife’s Range Rover Velar there for a complete tune-up, her coolant hose needed to be replaced and…
Another fun day at Rays shop. Needed a smog for our motorhome we just got. Hung out in the waiting room with fun conversations going on! Thank you Ray, Theresa and Lizet!
Definitely recommend this repair and smog certification shop!
Phenomenal experience and excellent customer service!!!
I have been going to Ray Frey for about five years and recommend him to everyone I know. He is straightforward, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, as are his staff, and mechanics. The work is top-notch and you get the added treat of a car wash after every service. I highly recommend this business
Knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. Never been disappointed.

They are a local shop that appears to take pride & care for the services they provide. Even being a smaller shop, it's the little approaches they take…
