Wow, spoiled for choice of positives. Very knowledgeable technicians, fast service, continuous communication, excellent value for money.
Took my son’s Toyota Sienna in for a smog check and honestly, I was super impressed. They were quick, actually honored my coupon, and really went the extra mile. The team did a super thorough inspection—they caught a coolant leak, checked the brake pads, and flagged a few other things that needed attention. Their…
Tedious Auto Repair was fantastic. Buddy kept me updated throughout the entire process, he was straightforward with his recommendations, and he was very responsive to any questions I had. On top of all that, the prices were fair and the repairs were done in a timely fashion. Definitely take your vehicle here if it needs servicing/repair!
Super communicative, very helpful and willing to work with you for quotes.

We had a great experience with Tedious Auto Repair. They addressed our repair issues quickly. Everyone there was highly qualified and even lent us a loaner car at no extra charge. We definitely recommend them and we will make them our first choice for our automotive needs.

The online scheduling and the text message communication (appointment, diagnostics review including pictures, proposed work, etc.) is top notch.

Love this business. Buddy and Michaela know how to run a business! Adam is by far the best mechanic I’ve ever been too! Good job guys 10/10
These guys are great! Its super easy to set up a date and time for drop off that works best for you. The owner, Buddy is very friendly and communicative from the moment you drop your car off till you pick it up. I was able to drive it home the same day feeling much safer and informed of the overall health of my car.…
I love tedious repairs, he did everything I wanted done to my Audi as soon as the parts came in! Also more recently helped get an estimate on another vehicle I own, going out of his way to make sure I was informed. Super nice, excellent service, straight forward and fair priced
Highly organized up front with costs of repairs no pressure did a great job and this car needed a lot
Buddy and his team of well qualified technicians always do a great job. I’ve taken my cars to them for nearly 20 years now, at least 3 different vehicles, and I cannot recommend them enough. They’re thorough, hard working and honest. Tough qualities to find in people now a days, let alone a mechanic!!!
Name says it all! Had a sunroof leak nobody wanted to even look at. Owner pinpointed the issue right away and fixed the problem. Fair prices for quality professional work!
Great business to go to, owner knows his stuff quick service friendly people. Top of the line work for a good price. Quick and fast.
Thorough inspection and great service provided saved me time and money on a potential used car purchase. Would recommend without question. Thank You!
