    Bait and Switch Coupon, Please remove this $90 service

    Negative: They should remove this Bait and Switch (BS) $20 service coupon, it´s $90 (¨PLUS¨). Not that $90 give or take which ad they are running is a bad deal, just be transparent. Maybe the Co. name should have been my clue or that the lobby tv was playing Bob Barkers The Price Is Right. Either way, be observant and getting all old parts right away and put that on the estimate gives you a little protection. My experience has shown me that many Transmission Shops have an issue with transparency. The rule is....fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice shame on me, fool me 3 times....well you, get the idea, they just broke 1 of the 3 rules at the get go. Positives: Nice people Good coffee Mechanic seemed good, as far as I could tell Poor liars, management needs more practice, but they do it with a smile. No fist fighting broke out.

    I would stay the hell away from this place. After DRIVING my truck to this shop to have my transmission checked out, it left on a TOW TRUCK 4 weeks later! I also found a loose nut sitting on the engine block that hadn't been put back on whatever it went to. See the pictures below. The day I dropped my truck off with Tim, he got on it right away. Within a few days he told me I needed a new transmission as well as a new transfer case for a total of $6,300! I told him I couldn't afford it but he persisted, and offered me several different financing options. I told him several more times over the course of a week that I couldn't afford it and that I wanted to get my truck back. From that point on, its as if Tim fell off the map. I waited about a week before reaching out to Tim to see what the deal was. Again, he told me he needed a few more days to get my truck ready, and once again nothing. After several rounds of being strung along he finally texted me that my truck was ready. After arriving to the shop, my truck was in the same spot that I had last seen it several weeks before, and nothing had been done to it. After getting into it to leave, it wouldn't shift into gear and sounded terrible. He proceeded to try and charge me $400 for the labor, and after rounds of debate finally agreed to drop it. I called the tow truck company and had them pick it up to take to another mechanic. Turns out I don't need a transfer case and got my transmission replaced for $3,500. Nobody should have to feel like their hands are tied in this type of situation, and for 4 weeks that's the way I felt after dropping my truck off at this place. Its stressful enough having vehicle problems, and not being able to pick my truck up in at least the same condition in which is was dropped off is not a place I want to do business!

    Great service. Pretty quick turn around for a tranny shop. I was impressed that it didn't take long.

The owner really does pride his business in honesty and integrity! Their customer service was amazing too. My dad got a quote from a different place for $5k for some work the said "needed to be done." He called around for other quotes and ended up at West Ave Auto because over the phone they said they would do the job for HALF the price! When my dad got there it turned out a plug just needed to be removed/drained which was causing the sensor on his truck to act up... Marvin was honest and just charged him the labor fee... Saving him thousands! I had water damage to my car and was scared I was going to pay thousands for repairs on my car too but my dad told me to drop my car off at West Ave Auto. They were honest right away. Didn't try to play off the fact my car could have needed huge repairs. Instead reassured me the damage was minor and they were even able to bend back a part instead of telling me to replace the whole thing. In addition, I knew I needed other work done so gladly gave my business to them. My car was also done the same day! Saving me the hassle of having to worry about paying for a rental and unnecessary stress. On top of it, Marvin remembered my dad, his name and truck. Which is very cool considering how many people I'm sure he probably sees on a day-to-day basis. Honesty and integrity go a long way! This company now has loyal customers and I will be recommending their shop to everyone I know. They also offer military discounts in addition to their affordable prices and great customer experience!

I called on a Monday morning and was pleasantly surprised to get a same day appointment! The parking lot is a bit small, but once inside, the waiting area was clean, comfortable, and didn't smell like oil or cars like some other shops do (which I really appreciated!). I was greeted right away and even offered a complimentary ride home while they worked on my car which was such a nice touch. The gentleman who gave me the ride was very kind and seemed genuinely trustworthy. They called me once my car was ready and arranged for pickup, which made the entire process super convenient. This service alone makes coming here worth it as I hate having to waste time sitting around in a shop! I also loved that they sent me a detailed digital report with pictures of everything they inspected and noted any issues. It's so helpful to actually see what they're referring to. I chose not to fix a few things right away due to cost, but I really appreciate their transparency and the information so I can plan and budget for future repairs. Overall, I had a great experience here. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional, and respectful of my time.

    Very disappointed with my experience with Ryan. My vehicle is a 2019 GMC Sierra, and I contacted…read morehim because my truck had a coolant leak and I already strongly suspected that the radiator needed to be replaced. Before coming out, he told me he would still need to diagnose it and charged me $115. After paying the $115 diagnostic fee, I was basically told exactly what I already knew, the radiator needed to be replaced. Then I was informed that he couldn't actually do the repair because the job required the A/C refrigerant to be recovered and he didn't have the equipment necessary to do that. His recommendation was for me to take the truck to a repair shop. My biggest issue is, if you're advertising yourself as a mobile mechanic/certified technician and charging $115 just to come diagnose a problem, I would expect you to either have the equipment necessary to perform common repairs or be upfront BEFORE charging the customer that you may not be equipped to complete the job. On top of that, I felt his labor quote was extremely high. He quoted me $700 JUST FOR LABOR to replace the radiator on my 2019 GMC Sierra. I ended up taking my truck to an actual radiator shop, and they charged me only $300 for the labor. That's a $400 difference for the same radiator replacement. So I essentially paid Ryan $115 to tell me I needed the radiator I had already told him I believed I needed, was quoted $700 in labor, and then was told he couldn't even perform the repair because he didn't have the necessary A/C equipment. Based on my experience, it left me feeling like collecting the diagnostic fee was more important than actually repairing my vehicle. I would not use this service again. I would strongly recommend asking exactly what equipment he has and whether he can actually complete your repair BEFORE agreeing to pay the $115 diagnostic fee.
