    Engine after he supposedly guaranteed it was fixed
    Farshid K.

    While Hamid is a kind man, I'd recommend AGAINST taking your car to this shop. DO NOT GO or you may find yourself in a terrible situation with a car even worse off than before. I was a customer of Hamid and took my car to him for various things. At one time, he told me that the engine to my 2017 Jeep needed to be rebuilt at a machine shop. This came at a hefty cost of $4,000, but Hamid promised me that the engine would be in great condition after that and he provided me a guarantee for this. After a few short months, the car began running terribly again. I took it back to Hamid two more times as it was supposedly warrantied. However, at this point he denied promising this and told me I needed to get an entirely new engine. Never mind the $4000 I had just dropped and the trust I put in him. Terribly disappointing, and I have lost all trust in him and this business. Now I am out more than $4000 and forced to buy a new car.

    I went there and left my Toyota Prius and they gave me a time. I forgot to even ask for the money and I was worried if they charge me more than usual for it as it was my first time going there. But once I got back to get my car they literally game me the best price, even I had another issue with my tire that they fixed it without even charging me for it and they were super punctual as well for giving me the car back. I highly recommend it. Ps. They speak Persian/ Farsi as well if that helps.

    These people are a great find! My car repair shop of over 30 years closed, and I began a search to…read morefind a new one. Checked on AAA and found Elite. From the first contact, I (I'm a female) was treated with respect and everything that might have been my car problem was explained in detail.......and rough estimated. The great part, was that upon actual car analyzation, they determined it was NOT as serious, and repair time was cut by two days, and my bill was 1/3 of the original rough estimate. They do everything from oil changes, to body work. We certainly will be returning to this very ethical local business.

Along the laundry list was a water pump replacement priced at $941.64. I found this to be interesting since Elite replaced it on 2/22/25 at a cost of $629.83. When I mentioned this, the advisor stated he didn't see any record of doing this work. I stated that I would produce the original receipt. As I was picking the car up from the oil change, I showed it to him. Here's where it went off the rails. I no longer trust their diagnosis at all. I wanted an oil change and got lip service how parts go bad yada yada. The offer was made to put it back on the lift, but I will never believe otherwise that this mechanic doesn't know what he's doing or misrepresented the situation. Since the water pump was replaced in February there has been NO leakage that I can see. This smacks of bait and switch to me. This is only my personal opinion. Trust is paramount these days. Elite lost mine. If I had cause to believe something was wrong with the water pump, I would have long ago taken it back for that purpose. Keep your receipts and if a recommendation doesn't fit question it.

The transmission specialist at the other shop said they needed to take it out to find out what the problem is, and needed to charge a huge diagnostic fee. They called it a tear down inspection, but I had my doubts and brought it to V-Tech for a second opinion. V-Tech found all the issues, explained it to me, and were able to fix it in 1-day. The car definitely had issues, but it turns out it was due to drive belt, timing belt, transmission oil, and air intake hose. We also had a battery causing starter issues, but we knew about that. V-Tech took car of it and charged us a low price! The car is driving great and we're super happy!

    I've been taking my Hyundai Tucson to V-Tech Automotive for the past three years, and Adel has…read moreconsistently provided excellent service. Over that time, he's handled oil changes, brake jobs, air and cabin filter replacements, and even some minor electrical repairs. What stands out most is his honesty, knowledge, and attitude. He always takes the time to explain what's needed, never tries to upsell unnecessary work, and genuinely seems to care about doing the job right. When I needed brakes on my Tucson, the parts and labor were significantly less expensive than another shop I had used before, and the quality was actually better. Recently, I purchased a Mercedes-AMG C63, and before buying it, I trusted Adel to give me an honest opinion on whether it was a good car to purchase. That level of trust says a lot. After I bought it, he handled the oil change and brakes for a fraction of what the dealership would have charged. I haven't had any major repairs done there yet, so I can't speak to that personally, but based on my experience over the last three years, I wouldn't hesitate to trust V-Tech Automotive with bigger jobs if they came up. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable mechanic who does quality work at fair prices, I highly recommend Adel and V-Tech Automotive.
