Been going to Ray Frey Auto Center for years. Highly recommend there business.
I'm getting ready for a road trip so I took my RAV4 in for an oil change and a once over for my road trip. I was told I still had 3,000 miles before I was due for and oil change but they would still give my car the once over for my upcoming trip. Not only did they check everything out but they also washed my car.…
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…
Time for a check up. Service was excellent. Fast, friendly, and efficient. I am back on the road.
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.
Was having trouble with passing my Smog Test. They were able to pinpoint the problem even though it wasn't obvious what was wrong at first. Got the repair done and Smog test passed. Thanks!
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?
Ray Frey is the best! Busy but got me in for a smog and out in no time!!
Would recommend going here for smog inspection. They were so fast, efficient and so friendly. Thank you for the great service Ray and Lisette.
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
Definitely recommend this repair and smog certification shop!
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
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
I had been dealing with a persistent vibration in my 2010 Prius. The dealer couldn't find anything (no surprise) (learned my lesson). I decided to Ray Frey Automotive after seeing numerous positive comments on reddit. They diagnosed the problem, fixed it quickly and at a reasonable rate, saw the maintenance due…
What can I say, why would you go anywhere but to Ray Frey. Ray and Bob are the consummate leaders in auto mechanics knowledge, repairs and customer service. My kudos! That's the reason I've been taking my autos to Ray and Bob for almost 30 years.
I had an excellent experience! Everyone there was very professional. I received phone calls for authorization before services were performed after diagnosis was complete. There was no fixing the vehicle and getting a surprise estimate/bill at pick up. The office and waiting area was very clean and the work bay area…
Excellent. Highly recommend. Ray gives solid advice about your car. Doesn’t go overboard on recommending repairs. Trustworthy, honest and responsive.
