I had such a positive experience at this family owned auto repair shop. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and at ease, like I was speaking with family or close friends rather than a business trying to upsell me. They are honest, caring, and clearly not out to take advantage of anyone. Alex, the receptionist, was an absolute pleasure to talk to. She was kind, polite, and welcoming. Vrej, the owner, took the time to listen to my concerns, explained the car issues clearly, and made sure I understood everything. His team of mechanics was professional and did excellent work. The customer service was top quality from start to finish. They made sure I was comfortable while waiting and handled the problem with care and integrity. I will definitely be coming back and recommending them. Honest, genuine people read more

I take all my cars to Vreg he is as honest as they come he always wants to show me what the problem is with my very difficult Ford Escape because it's a V6 and four wheel drive it's very labor intensive it seems to pain him to tell me what it's going to cost because he cares and he's very thorough if anything else is going on he always lets me know promptly and the cost and I'm very fortunate because his shop is very close by so he gets 5 stars from me ! read more

Great service. Ryan didn't try to run my bill up. Thought I was going to have to scrap the car. Here I am driving it around again. This my new and only shop now. Great value for sure. read more

To start this review, one word comes to mind, AMAZING!!! 1000000/10 I cannot thank Vrej enough for his exceptional professionalism and outstanding service. I brought my truck to him based on a strong recommendation from a close friend, who spoke highly of Vrej and his family-owned shop. Right from the start, I knew I was in good hands. Upon arrival, Vrej immediately paused what he was doing, and along with three other mechanics, thoroughly examined my truck and provided a clear diagnosis. He reviewed the pricing with me, and given all the work needed, it was more than fair. I left my truck at the shop, and two days later, it was ready. Vrej explained that I needed a new battery, as mine only had 40% life remaining. I went to AutoZone to get a replacement, and while the staff there were friendly and installed the new battery, the installation wasn't done properly, and the idle wasn't reset. When I tried to leave, the truck kept stalling, and I couldn't drive it. I called Vrej, and to my surprise, he offered to come to AutoZone after his workday to help. I was genuinely amazed! After finishing his day, Vrej drove to meet me, ran diagnostics on my truck, identified the problem, and then told me he wanted to drive my truck back to his shop to fix it. He had me follow him in his car to ensure I wouldn't be stranded. The level of care, thoughtfulness, and customer service Vrej provided was truly exceptional. His kindness, generosity, and integrity are rare to find. Vrej, thank you for being such an honest, caring individual and for going so far beyond what I could have expected. THANK YOU! read more

Brought my Jeep in to have rodent damaged wiring repaired. The vehicle was throwing multiple check engine codes. I called several places before I found a place that would do the repair. This place is the real deal. All of the great reviews that you read are the truth. Vrej is a great mechanic, but more importantly, they are honest and truthful in all of their dealings. This is hard to find in any business, let alone the auto repair industry. This was a very difficult repair that required much expertise and troubleshooting to complete repairs. I would not hesitate to bring any vehicle here for repair. Thanks Vrej for fixing my Jeep. read more

Went to have my car serviced after reading great reviews on Yelp. The reviews were correct. I felt the mechanic/front person listened to my concerns, he gave me quotes for the repairs, which I thought were fair and good value. He also gave me a time of which he would call to discus what he found. He called promptly at the appointed time and went over what he found, got approval from me and gave me a time to pick up my car, which it was all done. Great place with good quality service. read more

AUTO REPAIR SPECIALIST. Heroes who came to my rescue! This is not a review about something basic like what a great job they did with an oil change, or what nice and friendly service they gave (which they did). This is a review about how they solved a possibly catastrophic problem that was getting close to causing me real nightmares. See, I needed to get smogged but my check engine light was on and I had a "Code P 0456", a "VERY SMALL emission leak." I looked into this problem and found, basically, that unless you get really lucky it just might take a miracle to fix it, if it could be fixed it at all. This was devastating because this car was the basis of my driving plans for the next number of years and if I couldn't get it fixed I was extremely worried I wouldn't be able to smog the car, which to me would be cataclysmic (extremely bad). From what I read if it was a gigantic leak it would be easy to locate and fix, but a teeny tiny one that maybe couldn't even be found? Good luck with that. I found myself in what seemed to be the ultimate California Smog Check nightmare...a car which, according to tests emitted WAY under the allowable limits (in other words, smogwise, a super clean car), but...gasp! It had the evil "check engine light" on. Which must, to the state of California, make your car every bit as guilty as the most polluting car in the state because the punishment is exactly the same: it cant get smogged and go on the road! This was another great example of me getting punished for what other people are voting for, and I'm sure another reason why people are leaving this state in droves! So I looked here on Yelp and found the MIGHTY and INCREDIBLE Auto Repair Specialist who somehow located the problem and fixed it, a problem that, after doing some research, seemed to me to be one of the most serious things that could keep your car from being smogged. Thank you ARS! What a terrific job you did to get me out of what could have been a horrible situation! WHAP!!! The Joe D. Stamp of Approval is firmly affixed! :) read more

Truck wouldn't pass smog, they are professional knowledgeable. No surprises. 2nd generation at the same location for longer than I can remember. There is a reason they've been in business for so long. Just picked my truck up today. read more

So glad to have found this shop! My family came here twice (2 car family) and both times, we received great care. From start to finish, phone call to picking up our car from the shop, they remained approachable, professional, and honest. I don't know much about cars so I'm always worried someone will try to upsell me or take advantage of my lack of knowledge but the owner was straightforward with his explanation and his price was reasonable and fair. It felt genuine when they told me to call or comeback if I had any concerns or issues after they serviced my car which I appreciated because finding businesses that care are a bit more rare nowadays. I got the feeling that they really love what they do and take pride in their work and reputation. This shop will be the first place we call when we inevitably encounter auto issues in the future so I hope they'll be around for a while. read more

Poor and not up front business. Tells me they aren't going to charge me a diagnostic fee. Their quote was extremely high so I decided to take elsewhere. Ends up charging the diagnostic fee anyway because I didn't have them fix the repair. Not very transparent with their communication. read more

Vrej and crew are amazing. After moving here and needing help on an 08 Mustang I went to him because people I trusted trusted him. He's my mechanic now. Incredibly fast, honest pricing, and won't try to get you for more $. First visit I gave a laundry list of services for a "new to me" used car and that day they were all done. A great and honest mechanic you should trust your vehicles with. read more

Been coming here for years. Its's my go to mechanic for all my needed auto repairs. Always honest and great staff

Definitely one of the most honest & professional mechanic in town. My catalytic converter got stolen & Vrej was so helpful & informative on everything. He dealt with my insurance & kept in contact with my fiancé & I the whole time. With the stress & headache of trying to deal with my insurance to replacing the cat, I was so fortunate to have found this place. Vrej truly take a lot of stress off my shoulder. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Amazing mechanic! Very nice honest and knowledgable. He keeps you updated and makes sure you know the price before working on it. read more

Honest and very reputable. Excellent work and very professional. Would highly recommend to anyone for their auto repairs.

Had to get smog cert and had a coupon for ac maintenance along with coupon for smog. Vrej (owners name) not only accepted both coupons but ended up replacing the ac plugs and adding additional Freon for a reasonable up charge! A bit tricky to find because the sign for the street was missing (under repair). But once you get on right street take it to the end and make a left at the end of cul de sac. Good price and quality work! read more

Vreg has to be the most trustworthy mechanic around. He's helped me with my Honda civic, a Chevy Silverado and a Chevy suburban. Today I asked for a n oil change, he ordered the part and completed the work all within an hour. I recommend to all read more

The Customer service was top-notch. Friendly, fast and super helpful.

He also left me with coupons for later test. I will most certainly be back. Thanks guys!!! read more

I took my truck to have both catalytics replaced. This Is a big project to take on this vehicle. They found a leak on a seal and replaced it as well at no additional charge. Very happy with the results. Definitely coming back! read more

I've had work done at this family owned shop several times but this is time there is no excuse for me not writing a review given I was very impressed. My 1993 Toyota Celica GT once again had trouble passing smog. Since 2 years prior the EGR valve had been cleaned I didn't want to have work done in that area of my engine. Papa Postoyan said the other place to look would be the catalytic converter so upon having it removed the insides were significantly eaten up by the heat. I had a new one put on and then my Celica passed with flying colors. Nitric oxides dropped by over 100 points! So the car ended up passing with flying colors. This shop knows what they are doing, other mechanics wanted me to rebuild my engine. I trust these guys and you should too! read more

I will highly recommend them to everyone. They are extremely courteous, friendly, nice and fixed my car perfectly and promptly. I will use them for all my automotive needs. read more

Just took my truck in for a smog and out within 20 minutes. I'm glad I came here, super nice people and glad to meet Vrej. Their shop is tucked away in the back so you don't see it right away and you wouldn't think there'd be a auto shop back there but I'm glad I decided to stop by. Nice family owned business and I'm definitely going to be back again for my auto repairs. read more

Great guys! They will do anything you need to fix your car and they are completely trustworthy! Anytime I have a problem I take it in and they fix it. They have a great warranty program too! They have fixed my wheelbearings in the front, two belts, and the power steering pump on my 99 corolla and they always call me when they have an update for me. Best auto shop around! read more

10-05-2017. Just took my truck in for a smog. Friendly shop in all of fresno and Clovis. The only shop to take your ride to. Great job guys.

I've taken my car here twice. They are honest and fix the problem. Vrej keeps you posted on whats going on and lets you know how much your looking to pay before he does it so you wont have a huge suprise. Very nice and trustworthy people. I will go back again whenever I need work on my car. Prices are reasonable too. Nice thing too is that they dont talk down to you because you're female. I appreciated that. read more

Absolutely the best service in auto care. The prices are fair, and the family that run it are great people. Built a good relationship with them and I highly recommend their services. read more

I finally found a mechanic I could trust! Peter and Verg are the nicest people you could ever talk to, other staff are great too. They strive to fix your vehicle the way you want it. They are very honest when it comes to what needs to be replaced and what doesn't. If they don't think it needs to be replaced they wont do it unlike other shop that say something's wrong when there really isn't. I highly recommend them to anybody. I've had nothing but good experiences with them and I will continue to bring my vehicles in. read more

I took my car in for a smog check and was very impressed with their service. I chose this shop because it is close to home and has great reviews. I'm very happy that I did. The service was fast, friendly, and not pushy at all. They even corrected the air pressure in my tires which were over inflated at no cost. I will definitely be back for any of my auto care needs. Thank you so much for the easy and painless service. I will be sure to tell all my friends and family. read more

These people did a really great job on doing a smog on my car. I arrived in the morning with only about an hour to spare of my schedule and they had me in and out in about 15. The prices are definitely reasonable. I had no idea they were here, but I'm definitely coming back if I ever have any issues with my car. Also the place is localized to about the outskirt of town, so it's normal to be slightly skeptical, but once you're there the place is actually ran pretty well. Thumbs up to Vrej their son for helping me out with my car! read more
