I do not recommend this place. They are charging dealership value and still didn't solve the issue with my car. They charge a $300 diagnostic fee & a rate of $175 dollars an hour for labor. My car returned to the same issue that I had initially brought it in for after them charging me $3,000.00 and now they're saying it's another issue that doesn't make logical sense after inferring with another mechanic on their thought process . They are scamming you & are money hungry because they're going out of business. I will recommend star auto electric but do not go here unless you want to spend thousands and still come out with a broken car. read more

Honesr, efficient and friendly service. About half of what the dealer charged for the same repair.

I have been using these fellows for a long time but the last few years their prices have gone off the charts that $175 diagnosis on top of the cost of repair is out of line read more

I got charged $300 just to look and describe the problems created by another shop. Ok... kind of steep but let's do it. However, then charged an additional $600 for supposedly fixing an oil leak but the oil leak is still there if not worse. My car was returned and didn't even have the oil cap on. Luis won't even call me back or answer my calls now. Very frustrating to give someone almost $1000 and the work is piss poor and completely unsatisfactory. Never going here again!! read more

Decatur Auto Electric - Oil is everywhere! They gave me my keys at 4:15pm and closed right after they took an additional $600+ and then gone. - Auto Repair Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I contacted Decatur Auto Electric because a friend recommended them. I told them I was having transmission troubles and they told me they definitely work on transmissions. I also ran a scanner and told them what the codes were that were coming up. They said they would look into it and fix it. Amongst the problems was a broken seal and bearing. They replaced the seal and bearing and told me it was fixed - test drove and fine. I came to pick up the vehicle and immediately there was a problem shifting and the check engine light came back on within a mile or two. I ran the scanner again and one of the original three codes came back that I told them about from the beginning. I returned the vehicle and told them it was not shifting correctly. They ran a scanner, as I had and saw that the code was signaling a bad sensor - as I had told them from the beginning. They then told me that they could not do this repair because they are not familiar with transmissions. I asked why they told me they did transmission work in the first place and the fellow said "I'm sorry, it was not me you talked to." They would not answer as to why Luis would tell me they could do transmission work and why they didn't acknowledge the codes that were scanning that I told them about from the beginning. I now have to go back to their shop to pick up my vehicle and take it to another mechanic to complete the repair that was needed from the beginning. read more

Great service!! It was fast and reliable and definitely will be coming back for future car repairs!!

Recently purchased an older vehicle that the previous owners had done a number on the electrical. DAE quickly diagnosed and repaired those issues. They were very precise and communicated all work clearly. Work was done fast and I was assured a 6 month warranty on all work performed. Thank you! read more

Jorge is the OWNER! Ive know him 10 years and he is the MOST honest PERSON IN THE WORLD! Dont assume this place isn't reputable because of one Employee.. If you have a issue with any business,,, CONTACT THE OWNER!!! Dont put negative remarks on someone business because of 1 employee ... NOT RIGHT to do especially if the owner has no idea what was done! Once you contact the owner of the business and mention to them the issue you had at hand and find out that later on the same issue is still happening ... then fine put your REVIEWS UP.‍ I own a Business locally here too in Vegas so I can relate ... Thank You Thats ridiculous!!!! read more

Luis and the team has always taken great care of me, my family, and my cars. They have been working on my cars for over 13 years now and I won't go anywhere else. Recently, my Ferrari needed an O2 sensor replaced and these guys where the first ones I thought of. They knocked it out in no time and back on the road with no issues. read more

Recently I found this business to have them repair my mother's truck. Not only were they honest and professional, they brought the truck back to life. They repaired the air conditioner, replaced the shocks, and provided a full overhaul of the vehicle. I highly recommend their services. You will not be disappointed. read more

Luis and the rest of the staff are very pleasant , professional, knowledgeable and efficient. In and out within the time promised. No hidden charges, I am a happy camper. Thank you! read more

Stopped by to get my headlight fixed on my ISF. Jorge was able to fit me in his busy schedule. He replaced the bulb, which is actually a lot more work than it sounds like, within an hour. He provided great service and had a great attitude.I appreciated his honesty and willingness to try the less expensive option first. Very convenient location. I will definitely use his services again. read more

My alternator was actually "over-charging" my battery, and causing problems for months before it finally died. My insurance covered the towing, in order to have the alternator replaced. Decatur Auto Electric was awesome as always. I did not even have to go with my car to the shop. Decatur Auto Electric just called me with a quote, before starting the work. They were done quickly and efficiently. I recommend Decatur Auto Electric to everyone I know read more

Brought in our chrysler town and country as it would not run and had to be towed in. I had called the mobile mechanic we use but he could not diagnose the electric issue. I spent hours calling the dealers and never was able to speak with a service writer at any of the four locations. Finally looked on yelp and tried decatur based on reviews and my conversation with louis. The work was done timely and professionally. The pas lock system with the key chip had failed so we got two new keys which they reprogrammed. Will use them in the future. read more

They're the best! never disappointed whether I deal with Luis or George. Honest people and do great job on our H 2 ...very please with the work. We are glad to find a good car repair shop ...it's a blessing read more

I had a problem where the trunk lid on my 1993 Cadillac did not close. The pull down mechanism wasnt working at all. I was greeted by Luis at the front desk and had thoughts of them taking hours to find the bug. Well, his mechanics found the electrical problem in about 20 minutes. The peace of mind of having a car that works properly is everything. I highly recommend Decatur Electric. Larry & Eva Roth read more

Honest mechanic, phenomenal customer service. Steve made sure my car was in perfect running condition, will definitely recommend this location! read more

The folks there were extremely knowledgeable. They diagnosed my problem and didn't even charge me. I felt that I could trust them with future auto problems. read more

Dealing with Luis was an awesome experience. I bought a work van and needed an inverted installed for my car glass business. Finding an auto electrical place is very hard to do. Luckily I found them on Yelp. This is a niche skill that if you give it to an average repair shop can mess up your whole car. Car wires is dangerous biz if you're clueless. Anyway I trusted Luis with it and his guys did an awesome job. There was a minor issue at first but he warranted it and fixed it without any additional charge. Overall, if you need an auto electrical shop, better save this number! read more

BEWARE: Ok. Maybe ask questions about a $1250 fix should not to annoying especially if you are a female who be paying for and would like clarification on the price. Oh okay let's start with the non customer service "what do you want look" I got this morning. I shake it off to that must be the way he look but... You know that feeling when you're about to drop off your car to mechanic... Giving up pray that you hope they have the same concern you have about your car has you do. Yeah...nope not this company. So I sign papers that has a total of 95 for diagnostic. Never the two times I called did they say they was the price...wow that's pricey. ( 2 red flag) So I ask if the will be deduct it from the price if I get my repair done there. . He call told me that combined 1250. I begin to ask questions about the price of everything the big break down of parts and labor he became agitated by my asking of questions and begin to rush me off the phone. So that is when I decided that this mechanic wasn't for me then I was charged $8 extra for idk why. And never got an price quote.(3 red flag) I don't see how they have that high of a review. If you are a lady and want someone to run down all your questions then this might not be the auto mechanic for you. read more

A $488 Lesson to NEVER bring my car here again. STAY AWAY from this place if you care about your car! This is what my classic show car looks like after a heater core replacement. When confronted, they said they didn't have a particular resin that's supposed to go around the heater core hoses. Really? DUCT TAPE!? They said to bring it back and that they would "see what they could to make it look better". Ridiculous, and if this is how my car looks now then how would it look if I was crazy enough to bring my car back? Not to mention that there are bolts missing too, and I was charged for Antifreeze even though it was not changed. Decatur Auto Electric, you have not only lost me as a customer, but now I will tell everyone I know to avoid your reckless shop!!! read more

See all

I highly recommend Luis and his crew. I brought my Hyundai Genesis to him after Hyundai of Henderson couldn't figure out the problem after one week and a future estimate of at least 3000$, while admitting they had no idea how to fix it. Decatur Auto Electric solved the mystery within a few hours and only charged me 430$ with most of that being a part. They saved the old part and I could see where the electricity had been arcing. My car has worked perfectly since I picked it up. I highly recommend Decatur Auto Electric. Thank you Luis! read more

Brought my vehicle to Luis & he performed an electrical diagnostic check. He was professional & very friendly. He provided me with the answers I needed & provided solutions to my problem. I highly recommend Luis and will direct my friends to him if they require auto electrical service. read more

It's been a little over 2 years living here in the desert, and boy, does this heat and cold do a number on your car!!! It's crazy how much work we've had done on this car of ours in the past 2 years compared to the amount of work done in its first 7 years of life living in balmy, beautiful Hawaii! Not knowing a soul here, we opened the one of seems to be a hundred different yellow pages from our doorsteps. We found "Decatur Auto Electric." Apparently, our "Engine Light Check" required attention in order to pass our "Smog Check" (that's like a safety check in Hawaii). Anyway, it was a simple and painless (on the wallet) process, and we were on our way to register our car in our new state of Nevada. Since then, we've always depended on Jorge Villasenor, the owner. He has always had THE very best customer service and attention we've ever experienced in the auto service industry. We trust him. And trust is very hard to come by. He always makes time to see us, provides us with an immediate, if not, within the hour, estimate of our car repair, and is very forthcoming with any issues in his schedule, changes to the repair, etc. What's even better is that he educates us on what is being done on the car, why it has to be done and how much it will cost us. After the repair is complete, Jorge usually tells us how the service and repair went, going as far as to show us the old parts that were removed from our car. We will never doubt his truthfulness, as we have not had to bring in our car a second time over to correct his repairs. Hooray for Jorge! He and his company, Decatur Auto Electric are top-notch, both in customer and in auto service!!! Where else can you find honest people in the service industry at first try!!! Lucky us! read more

This is our preferred auto mechanic shop. George and Luis makes it a point that our car is being taken care of. We've been going here for 3 years now. They're honest and knows how to diagnose right away. They're not too expensive compared to other shops that we went to from the past. read more

This place is legit! Very great customer service and they stand by their work. I had some wiring gremlins after having regulate motor sports install an safc 2 into my supercharged car. After getting it back the car misfired and ran like crap. Drive it down the street into Decatur auto electro before shutting it down because I did not trust the people at regulate to work on my vehicle. These guys did an amazing job in rewriting the tuner for me and even pointed out the crappy job regulate did. They went in and soldered the connections rather than crimping and made sure the job was done right. They did the work at a great price as well and even followed up with me a week later. read more

I was searching YELP for a place to repair my brake lights and turn signals. This place came up and everyone seemed to be satisfied. I called and made an appointment with Lucho the manager. He was able to get me in quick. I was worried to drive without brake lights. He assured me that they were certified to fix my lights. I received a call 2 hours later with a great price. I was assured that it would be repaired promptly. The next day Lucho called and said the repairs had been made and my vehicle was ready to be picked up. Wow, they actually did the job for the price I was first quoted, NICE. They did not jack up the price or up-sell me on unneeded repairs. I am SUPER HAPPY!! I will definitely call then again when a repair is needed. read more

GREAT Service!! They were able to get my dash panel working without having to replace. Saved me hundreds of dollars by cleaning instead of replacing like another shop wanted to do. Not to mention nice guys with quick turn around. Would highly suggest to anyone looking for honest electrical repair. read more

Love these guys; they took care of me quickly after I had a blown-out headlight. Service was professional/nice, fast and reasonably priced. I will return again if I need other services. read more

Got an oil change here... and also changed out some belts. They were quick and very friendly. Belts were squeezing after that, but brought it in, and they fixed it, No problem . Great customer service! :) read more

I went to Decatur Auto Electric with an issue with my DRL's not working on my '14 Avalon. Owner Luis was able to figure the problem out very quickly and remedy it. He was courteous and easy to work with. I feel he was also very honest since it turned out to be a relatively minor and inexpensive issue that could have resulted in a different diagnosis elsewhere costing me much more. Luis even took the time to give me a hands on tutorial on how to go through the set up mode to set certain user options on my car. It's not easy to find honest mechanics in this town, but I found one at Decatur Auto Electric. I've already referred a family member to them that needs service on her vehicle. Thanks Luis! read more

Recently I made my first visit to Decatur Auto Electric and I was bringing in my classic car for some electrical work. I was helped by Jorge and he was very friendly and helpful. He listened to my concerns and addressed how he could have my car repaired appropriately. A few hours later, my electrical problems we're professionally taken care of and I was able to take my car home satisfied with the great job that was done. I will be returning in the future for any other repairs as needed. Thank you to Jorge and staff for taking a stressful situation and solving my problem. read more

Decatur Auto Electric is the best auto shop you will find in Vegas. It is run by highly professional and trustworthy people who take pride in their work. They would never charge you for any repair that wasn't needed or completed. I recommend everyone I know to come to this shop! You will not be disappointed!! read more

Love the service,nice fast friendly, They do a complimentary 10 point inspection Will return here for sure read more

I was searching for auto electric repair and found this place which said it was open on Saturdays until 1 pm. I drove 45 minutes to get there before noon and when I arrived the guy was leaving for the day. I told him how far I had driven and let him know Saturday's was the only day I had to get this looked at but he said sorry they were closing. Pretty sucky they post their hours and then close before the posted hours. I won't be bringing my business here. read more

Dropped my 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 off at Royal Transmission . "Billy," the owner of royal transmission ensured me that it was an electrical problem. So I trusted him and authorized him to bring it down there to Decatur auto electric. They insisted that it was the PCM , so they replaced it . I was never given the option on keeping the old one ( for all I know it was perfectly fine) so they charged me $795 for the PCM , I did some research online and they range from $400-$650... So they totally screwed me on the prices for the parts. Charged me $70 for shipping on a part no bigger than an iPad. I got my truck back , the transmission is still broken, my gauges don't work now ( which I called George "supposedly the owner" and he said he will look at it but if it's something we didn't do we are going to have to charge you for it , also told me I'd have to wait 3 days before I can bring it in cause he's "busy" ) so now nothing is fixed & I'm out $1,400 . Would not recommend these people to anyone. Really shady! read more

I brought my 2012 SUV into DAE, because it was acting wonky. The battery would drain completely after 3-4 days of non-use, the door locks would randomly work/not work, and other 'ghost in the machine' quirky things. I had taken the SUV to the dealer, and they said.. you need a new alternator. $1,300 later.. The SUV was still doing the same thing. They couldn't figure it out. After researching, I took the SUV to Luis/DAE. I gave him the same list of symptoms.. and it seemed like it was taking quite a while to hear back. Well, that was because the SUV wasn't acting up while on the equipment, so they kept trying multiple times. I believe after about 10 rounds of trouble-shooting, they were finally able to catch the anomalies happening, and isolated it down to a corroded fuse and relay box. Instead of just replacing it, and saying "have a nice day", they traced the issue back to a slight leak in the windshield, which would drip onto the electronics. Over time, this led to the corrosion. I know why the dealer couldn't isolate the issue.. it was difficult, and took persistence. I thank DAE for continuing to trouble-shoot until they found the actual issue. They not only fixed the issue itself, but Luis made sure I understood if I didn't have the windshield leak addressed, it would most likely happen again. I'm having a new windshield installed tomorrow. A new windshield is about 1/10th of the cost of the component damage/repairs the moisture caused. No brainer. Thank you again to Luis and DAE. read more

I needed electrical work done to get my headlights working properly. So a friend of mine who manages another auto shop highly recomended this place. I'm glad he did! They were very thourough and found the problem. Then I remembered to tell them some key info as how the headlight stopped working. They checked something else and sure enough it saved me another day of waiting for a part that was not bad afterall, reset the panel and it worked again! Thanks Luis and your team for your courteous and diligent service! read more

Located near the corner of Sahara and Decatur, it is a relatively small shop. The person who answered the phone gave me a verbal quote and was able to justify the expense. The parking lot is jammed with cars because there is more than one repair shop on the premises. Ov read more

After speaking with Luis further, who offered to do the full check-light diagnosis that was the main part of my complaint (outside of the price), I have to say that they were prompt and pro-active in contacting me re my areas of dissatisfaction. Electrical work can be a tricky business, especially when you are trying to restore a car on a budget, as I am - not the best of circumstances, so, as I hope I said before, they did find the problem and fix it- I want to be clear about that, so, I have no complaint about their work, really - maybe more about communication. I could have paid for the diagnosis and gotten a second opinion, or taken my car elsewhere, and I didn't. Maybe if I hadn't been on a budget I would have, but I didn't, and that was my choice, so, everybody has to find the shop they feel comfortable with, and whatever my subjective feelings re what I would hope to find in a shop that would help me restore my car, the fact remains that they called me about (1-1/2) hours after I left the car with them, with a diagnosis and a price, which I agreed to, so, depending on your own situation, you can always shop the price for the actual work, once you have a fairly good idea what needs to be done, but, for the full diagnostic, which Luis agreed to honor, $95 is not the worst price in the world, as applied to the price of the work, so, particularly if you have a difficult electrical problem that is hard to define, Decatur Auto Electric may prove to be a good source for you, and could save you money in the long run by finding and correcting the problem right the first time. read more
