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!
Been going to Ray Frey Auto Center for years. Highly recommend there business.
Not often you can find a shop you can trust to get it right. From services to complex repairs I’ve been using Ray Frey for repairs on our cars to HD truck for many years. Ray stands behind his techs and makes sure the job is done right and stays with it if there are issues.
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.
Very knowledgeable
I was recommended by another business to Ray Frey and I don't regret it! The Charging System light on my Toyota Camry turned on the day before and I wanted it addressed asap. The next morning, I was greeted warmly by the staff and was helped by Ray himself. I wanted to confirm if the problem was indeed my alternator…
Excellent & thorough description of needed work! & good work done with reminder of things to do in the future.
Ray was my go to mechanic when I lived in San Diego. He was so good that I am writing this review 2 years later because I randomly remembered just how solid of a mechanic he was. He’s honest, and will tell you how it is. He replaces fake customer service with true and honest work. That was exactly the type of…
We’ve been a customer at Ray’s shop for years. He diagnosis the problem, calls us and explains the problem, provides an estimate to fix it before doing anything. Once ok given work is completed promptly. What more can you ask for?
It’s always a pleasant experience at Ray’s- a no nonsense, no BS atmosphere at his shop. I enjoyed talking to Ray about Baja, fishing and his food recommendations. I did miss his bowl of candy! I guess I’ll have to wait for his leftover Halloween candy.
I recently had another outstanding experience at Ray Frey Auto Center and felt compelled to share just how exceptional their customer care truly is. From the moment I arrived, the team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely focused on making the repair process as smooth and stress-free as possible. They took…
Take your vehicle to this place. The trust and communication is the best in the business. Ray and the family care about getting your vehicle right. No one better in the area

Great customer service 👏
This was my first visit to this establishment. I had previously taken my car to another repair shop that told me I needed almost $6000 worth of repairs. On the recommendation of a friend, I went to Ray Frey for a second opinion After inspecting my car, Ray’s staff provided a much more reasonable assessment and the…
Lengthy but honest review: I have been essentially metal to metal on my rear passenger side brakes for a couple months and it got to the point that I just couldn’t ignore the grind and rub anymore (plz I’m just a girl so save the opinions). One reason I waited so long is because it’s hard to find a mechanic that…
Most trusted mechanic I've ever been to
All work was done as promised and at a great price. The auto was also very well cleaned while there. Thank you.
I've been bringing my car's to Ray Frey for years..Ray is an honest straight shooter...I highly recommend Ray Frey's Auto Service. Tammy Smith
