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.

Had a great experience with them. They diagnosed and fixed my halfshaft issue. They also did a full vehicle inspection and found some brake and rotor issues I had overlooked. They were honest and upfront with the necessary issues that needed immediate attention.

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.

I had recently made an appointment through them for an oil change and tire rotation. I needed a ride to work and they were able to take me while I waited for my car to be ready. They were fantastic, awesome prices for the service provided, will definitely be checking them out for all future maintenance work needed.

I usually work on my own vehicles but I was having an issue with my RAM 1500 that I couldn't figure out. I brought my truck to Western Edge for a diagnostic.

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.
