Ladies… every now and then, turn the music down and check if your brakes are trying to have a conversation with you. 🤗😂 This is the second time I’ve trusted Vidal Auto Repair LLC with my vehicle, and I’ve been very happy with his work both times.

Being a single woman I dread going to the mechanic as it is easy to get scammed. Jose worked with me every step of the way. He sent me videos of everything that needed repair and explained why. He even recommended what was emergent and what could wait a bit. Scheduling was fast as well as turn around time. Excellent services. Will be back

Jose Vidal is the best, most honest mechanic and only person I have used to service my vehicles for 10 years. He has perfectly maintained my Subaru Outback which I bought new and also did an amazing job maintaining my chevy Malibu previous to that. I 100% highly recommend him.

Jose has been working on my and my families vehicles for years. Only place I’ve ever been to that’s been completely upfront and honest during the entire process. He goes through everything with you and explains exactly what’s going on and what it will take to repair. Him and his team are literally the gold standard…
