I’m very satisfied with the work that’s been done to all of my vehicles. I like that they email me a health inspection report of my vehicle so I know what I need to take care of urgently or what can wait. It seems I’m always setting up appointments last minute and they have always been very accommodating and that’s very appreciated.

We took our 12 year old Mazda in for service right before a road trip, and spent the extra money doing the services they indicated were going to be needed soon. We noticed the car wasn’t driving the way it had been before the repairs, so we took it in again after our trip. After dealing with other garages, we had…

Great place and really great people. One of the last joints around that still feels like the “old Antelope Valley”- meaning they grew up here, they remember your name, they love America, they are honest, they do great work, and they exude that ‘small town’ manner that used to be so prevalent in our community. This…

I love that they do a diagnostic, so you know what needs done. The staff is friendly and will keep you updated as they need. They even can help you decide what is NOW, and what is "OK, maybe later." I've taken all my over the road vehicles, yes, even my horse trailer to WEAC and been completely satisfied with the…

I absolutely love coming here for my auto needs. Everyone at Western Edge makes you feel welcome, they do great work, and above all, they are honest. Fair pricing and when I go there I know I won't need to revisit with the same issue. I've been going here for a few years now and don't see that changing anytime soon.
