Got my car in and out fast for a reasonable price! Quick to answer the phone and great customer service. Thank you!
Had my front brakes and rotors replaced. These guys are awesome, I didn’t have an appointment and they were able to work me in. Dropped my car off at 8:20am and it was ready for pick up by 10 am. The mechanic was kind enough to call and explain what was necessary and showed me the damage on the existing rotors which…
Couldn’t recommend this shop enough! This was my first time visiting and their service is top notch. As a young women, it can feel nerve wracking going to an auto repair shop but Phong calmed any nerves I felt with his honesty and transparency. This will definitely be my new shop for any car needs!
Great customer service. Would revisit again.
Got me in fast and was able to make all the repairs I needed done!!! Thank you!!!
Awesome service. Called ahead to make an appointment and they were very helpful to tell me what kind of updates my car needed.
This was my second visit to T P. They are fast, efficient, and reasonably priced. When necessary, I will not hesitate to bring my car again.
Great service, nothing more to say. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by. Phong is a great mechanic. Honest and hard working! I will come back anytime I need to.
Friendly, honest, and efficient! Thank you!
The guys and gal over at T P Auto are awesome! Called a day ahead, set a drop off for 10 am next day, got brand new front brakes done and picked up my car 4 hours later. Can’t recommend enough, thanks y’all!
Excellent friendly service! Thank you!
excellent customer service.
Fong is super professional, honest, knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. I emphatically recommend his shop. Both my brother and I use his services.
I honestly love this place, I have taken my car here several times and always been thrilled with the repairs and service. They are thorough, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, but still willing and able to explain car stuff to a layperson. They are also competitively priced for the location and nice to chat to when…
Communicative and thorough
Was able to get a quick affordable service!
Fast service, communicated throughout the process, and fair pricing!
Phoung takes care of his clients better than any shop I've dealt with. They truly do it all; fast turn around time
Excellent service
Exceptional service!!!

Fast, efficient and professional always. Definitely our trusted neighborhood car maintenance team. Great communication, friendly service and honest work!
Always professional and honest. I feel taken care of!
Great place overall. I like the appointment set up as you can have a designated time to drop off your vehicle. Also, they provide updates on the status of your vehicle while they work on it. Highly recommend!
Hands down the best auto shop I’ve ever been to. I’ve gone to TP for emissions testing, oil changes, brakes and rotor replacements, everything. They work incredibly fast and always try to take care of the customer. Always a pleasant interaction, good work, and a fair price. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
Good customer service and reasonable prices!!!
I sent my friend at TP Auto Shop all the suggested repairs from Audi. He told me 4 out of 7 things I should get it fixed. I asked him for a rough estimate. He gave me a rough estimate & asked me to bring the car for him to take a closer look & give me a more accurate estimate once he sees what actually need to be…
Phuong is an honest mechanic. I am glad I was able to find him. I would definitely recommend him.
Great experience! Friendly, fast and super clear on what needs done and what doesn’t to my car!
Faster service than anticipated and reasonably priced! Great customer service
Got me in quickly with what could have been a very serious, significant repair. Communicated several times over the course of a few hours to hone the issue. Car was ready early, was spotless, and everyone was incredibly kind at pickup. I’ll be back… I come from a family of mechanics, this group is knowledgeable,…
Super fast and honest service
Excellent service! They were very friendly and helpful. Got the work done quickly Highly recommended.
Excellent service, didn't try to sell me but pointed out what needed attention. More work than I expected but they completed it in a timely manner and stayed in touch with me all along the way. I felt it was a reasonable price for the work they did. I am very happy with the results and I will highly recommend them to my friends.
Had a really positive experience at TP Auto - they were extremely friendly and helpful. Everything was explained to me in a way I easily understood and the repairs were done quickly. The price was also reasonable. I'll be visiting again!
Very good experience. Customer service went above and beyond. Everything that was done to my vehicle was explained, all my inquiries and questions were answered.
Very Good experience. Will recommend.
They got me right in for an appointment and changed my brakes my right away. Super efficient and friendly staff!
Fantastic customer service. Made my experience quick and easy. Grateful to have found this place.
Technician was quick to get me in and start the process. Everything was explained up front and I was on my way in less than 30 minutes. Kind and courteous staff with a good clean facility.
Awesome experience at this neighborhood spot. They were very friendly and honest off the bat (hard to find in a mechanic these days) and didn’t try to sell me on anything more than I needed. They even let me know I could probably squeeze another month out of my brakes if I really wanted to. I asked if the work could…
TP was very helpful, everything was clear and straightforward. He maintained great communication and finished the job very promptly, faster than the estimated time. Overall very friendly and quality service
I almost never leave reviews, so believe me when I say: as a woman, I have never trusted a mechanic more. T P Auto Repair have honest people. I won't name names, but I tried two other mechanics in the area (they had great reviews) - but they claimed I need to do $1600 of work on my car "just in case" and tried to…
Very friendly, so happy they could get me in same day. Great service and affordable.
Great service, I will definitely be back for any other vehicle repairs! Extremely thorough and quick. Offered multiple price points for my replacement part options, informed me of the pros and cons of each. Great communication with the repair process and letting me know when the vehicle was ready to go. TY, TP Auto Repair!
Fast, friendly, trustworthy, and reasonably priced.
These guys are amazing! They went above and beyond replacing my brakes and fixing some general issues I was having with my car. Definitely recommend and will be back.
Fantastic customer service and very honest about repairs needed. Will be coming here every time my car needs work done.
Quick friendly service, good communication.
I dropped my car off at 9am and they were finished with it by 1:45pm. Excellent service and fair price for brakes and rotors.
Great service, would recommend to friends and family!
Trustworthy and friendly mechanic! I’ve been here a few times with my car and I just started bringing my fiancés car here. It’s a family run business and the customer service is wonderful. I highly recommend it!
Excellent work. Came to them for a second opinion and Phong shot straight with me. Fix was done the same day and he saved me a ton. Thanks Phong!
3 cars taken to TP 3 perfect running cars! Look no further. This is the shop you want to use for all your automotive needs!
Quick, kind and great customer service!
Friendly staff, much faster than expected service. Dropped my car off before 8AM and it was ready before noon. I felt like the price of the work done was fair. My car felt new after picking it up. I will be coming back here.
Great service ! Took 2 hours to get my brakes and oil change fixed. Super easy. Great service and did not overcharge 🙂. Will definitely come back again.
I was originally referred by Oil Changers and so glad I scheduled work on my car at TP. Phong is straightforward and direct about quotes for repair and timeframes. I appreciate that he embodies the never overpromise, always over-deliver order of business so that way I know what to expect. Great shop and excellent,…
I use TP Auto for both our cars. They are trustworthy, dependable and price their repairs very reasonably. The Manager is Phong, and he is smart and knows cars and what it takes to repair them properly.
Very helpful and prompt. I would most definitely come here again for any of my mechanic needs.
Honest, fast, will go here again!
Very professional. I dropped the car off at 7:45am and got it back by 10:15am. He fixed my brakes and rotors. Fair price. Would definitely go back
Best experience I've ever had with a mechanic, they promised it'd be done by end of day and it was done before end of day, exceptionally professional and I will keep coming back for more work!
This is a great shop. Nice and friendly service. And quick repairs.
Excellent service! I would most definitely recommend TP Auto Repair as I was very pleased.
They work quick, fair prices, friendly and they make sure all your questions are answered!
Awesome work at a great price. I trust in these guys
Fast and friendly service!! Definitely would come back here
