Tucked in the middle of this busy auto repair plaza, DC Auto is now one of my go to places for work on my vehicles. Referred by my friend, Danny (owner) was able to do for my German car that my usual mechanic said "Oh no ... we don't touch that" He also quoted me a reasonable price. I didn't bother shopping around because one shop I came across before DC Auto quoted me nearly triple. I also learned a few things about newer cars and which engines are a headache to work on and which are not. Guess I'm not getting any more German cars. It's nice to find a mechanic who can do what others run away from, at a decent rate. read more

I go to Evolution next door but when they're busy I come to DC. I notice DC's prices comparable but on the higher side when he feels like up charging. This review is in regards to his up charge. Went in yesterday to get my headlight bulbs replaced and he charged $40. I made the mistake of giving him high beam bulbs. He said he can buy the parts and wanted to charge me $70 for the bulbs. I said no thanks. Bought some from Amazon for $29. Came back today and he's charging me $120. I was dumbfounded bc he just said $40 yesterday now he wants to up charge me an arm and a leg -it's BS y'all. His reason was he was busy and said that it's too hard for him to do... doesn't make sense. I ended up going to Ming Star Auto on Las Tunas and Baldwin next to the McDonald's. The guy charged me $40 and finished in 10 mins. In conclusion- find a different mechanic. DC gives me shady vibes. If you have a Toyota and Honda go next door to Evolution they're honest, reliable, affordable and excellent at their work. read more

I just needed a nail out of my tire. Danny said he couldn't take credit at the moment. Fair. I told him my mom would come with cash. He proceeds to fix the brakes of another car when all I needed was to get the nail out of my car. I had to wait the ENTIRE time before he went back to my car. He couldn't just take out the nail and wait for the cash?!? He had my keys... I wasn't going anywhere. What's up with this inefficiency?!?! read more

Danny is the man! Honest. Reliable. Transparent. Any time I have an issue with my used Mazda 3, he's the first person I bring it to. He will diagnose the problem and do his best to fix the issue. I always get my oil changed here and have had other parts fixed as well. I took my car in for an oil change today, and I noticed he also helped to fill my tires and changed my windshield washer fluid. A few months ago, I had a frustrating issue with my Mazda where the engine would randomly not start. Danny was attentive and took his time to try and resolve the issue. He said that if the same issue happened again, to bring it back to him. I must've gone back to him 1-2 more times, but the issue ended up being something that I needed to take into the dealership. Through all this, Danny barely charged me anything...maybe like $40 total. Compare this to a dealership where they charge you $100-200 just to diagnose your car problem. As a woman, it's intimidating sometimes to go to the mechanic alone. Danny is trustworthy and will get the job done for a great price. Go and check out DC Auto Repair! read more

Prior to coming to Danny's auto shop, I was at Wondries and had to wait in line to get service. When I asked for a quote, they charged me a ridiculous amount for an oil change and wheel rotation. My engine light was also on but they refused to check it since they were busy that morning and told me I would have to make an appointment for another day. On top of that, I would have to wait 4 hours to get my car back. I quickly canceled my service check and went to Danny's, which was recommended by a friend. There was no wait and he quickly serviced my car under an hour with a reasonable price :) The other auto shops next to him don't service Priuses so it's a plus that he is able to! Highly recommend this auto shop if you're looking to get your car maintained. Thanks Danny !! read more

When I was moving the guy who was working there ( also the guy who told me to move my car) is a very racist person. After I apologized he literally said " this isn't China parking".

Reasonable price for the transmission oil change, I have a Sienna and the owner only charged $70 plus tax. Please note: transmission oil change is different from transmission flush, oil change only replaces 30-40% of the transmission oil, while transmission flush replaces 100%( and the price will be much higher). He also changed my carbon filter with good price. Recommend this small business to everyone. read more

I love how this shop is super close to my house! One of the best mechanics, he was able to figure out what happened with my car. He took great care of it and my process with him was smooth. He's very knowledgable about a lot of cars! I was shocked because I assumed every car he took in were Hondas or Toyotas (I have a G37). The only thing I dislike is that this shop is cramped inside a plaza filled with many other mechanic shops. It's kind of difficult to maneuver around.

This has been by far the worst place I had ever took my truck to please people trust me when I say I DO NOT recommend this place at all here's what happened to me i took my truck because my motor felt like it was misfiring so I get to the place and right away he said to I charge 80$ do diagnose the problem after he diagnose it he said this is what we have to do he changed my spark plug my coil that was perfectly fine "new" and also changed my fuel injector once he replaced the parts he starts it up and again the motor sounding and running the same he did not diagnose my truck correctly he was guessing to see what can fix the problem I understand you can't know exactly what code to start from but this guy was going one by one at the end I was going to end up paying over 2000$ I personally feel like he could of took the time and run more test to really know what the problem was that is why he is charging his fee he ended up charging me 360$ and I had to pay to receive my keys he had me waiting over five hours for no reason he lied to me and said he ordered a part and they came wrong. I personally think this guy did not diagnose my truck properly and does not know how to fix it so away he sent me with my truck still running really bad. I drove it like that home and the truck actually died out on me. He left it worse than when I first took it I called him back right away and told him and right away he said I'll give you back 80$ and he still end up with280$ and my truck not running.people if this gentleman continues to do the stuff to people like us he's basically a scammer there's this program called BAR bureau of automotive repair these people can look into what does scams he's doing like not fixing the problem I do not recommend this place at all. . read more

I read the many positive reviews for Hye-Tech Auto Repair and decided to visit them. Upon entering, I was greeted by John (owner) with a friendly, "Welcome, how may I help you?" I explained that my Ford Explorer needed a new water pump and a few other items that other auto shops had advised me would require repair or replacement. While John looked up a few items on the computer to provide me with a quote, he introduced me to his son, Harry, who happened to be in the office. Thirty seconds later, John provided a quote that was $3,500-$4,000 less than the other shops. I could not believe it. John explained that he makes his living and succeeds in his business through repeat customers, and he does not believe in gouging customers for every last penny. He also shared that when he retires, his son Harry will take over the business, and he wants to leave Harry with a solid foundation of loyal repeat customers. It was then that I knew I could trust John and his son Harry. John went on to explain that replacing the water pump on a Ford Explorer was a 10-12 hour job, as it was an internal pump requiring numerous engine parts to be removed to reach it. This was the same thing all the other shops advised me. John suggested that I leave my vehicle, and he would perform a full inspection of the engine and contact me before doing anything to it. I agreed and left my vehicle. The following day, I was contacted by John, who advised me that the water pump did indeed need to be replaced, as it was the source of the constant leaks of the water coolant. I left my vehicle in John's shop for three days. During this time, John or his son, Harry, contacted me numerous times to keep me updated on the progress of my vehicle and also to point out that mechanics had discovered two or three very inexpensive items (under $50.00) which they recommended replacing, which I agreed to have done. All in all, I was and am extremely impressed and satisfied with everything about this shop. I spent much less money to have five different issues repaired on my vehicle at Hye-Tech than what I was quoted to replace my water pump alone by every single shop I visited prior to coming to Hye-Tech. John and Harry are very friendly, honest, and trustworthy. They are also very knowledgeable and experienced, and they offer GREAT customer service and communication. This is my new go-to shop for any issues involving our family vehicles. Thank you, Hye-Tech Auto Repair, for a very positive experience.

He was calm, knowledgeable, and transparent. He also stayed completely professional and never made negative comments about the original installer -- he simply focused on fixing the issue and making sure my vehicle was safe. They properly re-torqued and secured all the suspension components and performed a full alignment to ensure everything was dialed in. The truck now drives perfectly -- stable, smooth, no more clunking or sway. On top of that, their pricing was very fair and reasonable, especially considering the safety issue they corrected. It's hard to find a shop that combines honesty, skill, and fair pricing like this.

His prices are fair (honestly some of the best around), and the work is always done right. He's the only person I go to for my cars. If you're looking for a trustworthy, no-nonsense service center, this is the place. Highly recommend.

Owner even waited for me to come back to ask if i was cool with cutting the bumper a small bit to make the exhaust tip fit (4.5 inch) and was ready to make changes if needed. Finished before expected and gave a fair price with some nice welds!!

This place is a legit professional exhaust shop. I searched around based on reviews and past…read moreexperiences with other muffler shop. Some places slap stuff on and send you out. It will work, but not always be the best. This shop takes pride in the work they do. Owner is friendly and personable. I even chatted him up regarding welding, and he openly took the time to teach/show me some things to try as practice to learn better welding. This was not even related my my job!! I consider my job pretty simple... for my skill level (shade tree mechanic). I did not want to deal with it in my driveway. So I needed a shop that I would trust to do it as I would do it. I would take my time and get it right. No Wham,Bamm thank you mamm stuff. Here is an example of the little details you want in a professional shop. When putting on the clamps for the exhaust tips the owner (Sorry, I forgot your name, my bad) rotated the clamps in such a way that they would never be noticeable (clamp bolts) from the rear. This car is low and it probably would not have mattered but I know from experience from other shops that they would have just slapped the clamps on. Would have it worked? Yes. "Professional detail" no. The details matter and that is how you know you are dealing with someone that cares about the service they provide you. My job was a Corsa cat back exhaust on a 2024 Ford Mustang GT. The owner knew exactly what he was doing. Not like some other shops where it just seems like the person is guessing half the time. I work on my own project cars. So I have a certain skill level and sometimes I am that person that is guessing on how to do something. This shop was none of that. Professional and knowledgeable all the way. I will be letting everyone I know about the shop for their exhaust needs. You get what you pay for. The prices at this shop are fair, competitive and totally reasonable. Seriously I felt like I got a bargain just based on how professional the shop was. Side note- The owner has legit welding skills too. I saw examples. I would not hesitate for him to weld anything I needed done. NOT RELATED TO THIS SHOP AT ALL... Just a personal rant about some Yelp reviewers... Again NOT RELATED to this shop or any reviews of this shop...My two cents on Yelp reviews overall where people say they felt over-charged or they know they can get something cheaper. Look, you are paying for someone's skill and overhead (of the business). Stop thinking it is okay to scr3w skilled professionals of their labor because you think it SHOULD cost less. Seems you do not have the skills or understand the knowledge need to do skilled jobs you want someone to preform for you. First off just remember EVERYTHING is more expensive now. Then there is a big difference between doing a job correctly and doing a hack job that will be "good enough'. If you are one of those "good enough" shoppers, then stop leaving bad reviews all over Yelp for business that are actually trying to give you a professional and correct service. Those businesses are NOT trying to rip you off... they are trying not to screw you with shoddy service,

When it comes to the mechanical side, Tony's expertise in auto repair is truly second to none. Whether it is standard maintenance or more complex diagnostics, his deep knowledge of vehicle systems is immediately apparent. He is thorough, precise, and takes the time to ensure every repair is handled correctly the first time, providing total peace of mind for anyone looking to keep their car in peak condition. If you are looking for a shop that combines a welcoming, professional atmosphere with elite technical skill for your regular service needs, Enduro is the place to go.

Did you know there were different time frames in which to have smog checks be valid? I sure didn't. I went in assuming that the smog check I got was a TWO YEAR check up. So I go all year with my tags bad because we couldn't find out why the smog was no good. Come to find out they made the smog check valid for THREE MONTHS. I wasn't planning on selling my car or anything of that nature so I wasn't and still am not sure why this happened. But $74 dollars was how much it cost me to get the smog check from here. The men that work here are really nice but this makes me weary of returning because yes, I am a woman. And yea I did go by myself. I would hate to get ripped off like I did , again. Let alone happen to someone else.
