Brought my classic car in for a no start diagnostic. Mike billed $150 for the diagnostic which did not determine the fault and then proceded to quote over $4000 in repairs such as starter, alternator, ignition switch, all new dash wiring, and several gaskets. Keep in mind, that he never got the car started. I towed it to a second shop that fixed the starter wire for $180 including parts, labor and diagnostics. Buyer beware. He tried to swindle me. read more

Mike was awesome. Had a problem my mechanic couldn't fix and he got it done the same day. Guy has over 40 years experience.

I've brought my 2001 Toyota Sequoia here multiple times, and with the high mileage it has, reliability matters. This shop has consistently provided honest, dependable service. Repairs are done right the first time, communication is clear, and I never feel upsold on unnecessary work. I trust them to keep my vehicle running and would recommend them without hesitation. read more

DO NOT go here !! Mike came recommended by some club members. I took him my 1954 Jaguar XK-120 for a complete re-wire. I provided a replica wiring harness and a proper original wiring diagram. I have had four XK-120's and have always done my own work, but I'm not as flexible as I used to be, for getting under the dash and all, so I thought I'd get let someone else do it. They had my beloved car for three months and it has taken me several days of my own time to begin to undue the disaster they left. Three weeks later, I'm still working on correcting things. If you have a nice collector car, take it to someone who cares! I have a lot more to say. If you see my silver Jag around HB, stop me and ask. read more

So I am updating my review for backstory I guess, it took 7 years for me to finally feel confident about driving a 1989 Volkswagen Jetta to get the ac fixed. When I bought it - I used half of my savings after being on a contract to drive trucks across America for a year; I needed it for new jobs and to move. its my first and only car I've ever owned. I'd had the car since; I don't know I reviewed the place I bought it from when I bought it; you can find it on my Yelp. [10 years ago?] I've attached receipt from when I got my first estimate to fix the ac which is what I went here for, but, was too flat broke to think I could afford getting something like that back then. Too scared since I' don't know a lot about cars. So it pains me; that when I finally confidently had my car well; and had a good paying job that something 30+/hr like this would happen. I'm just attaching messages I recently saw that sparked me to add this backstory, I've had the car a long time; I know stuff goes after a while. I'm not on Yelp often unless I'm like; researching a place which I have been saving my money so I haven't been doing that a lot, as I haven't been shopping. I'm glad to read that there is professionalism happening at this establishment, it is very clean, the cleanest shop I've ever been to. Its family oriented; I don't have a lot of family but, for those that do its good to know you'll be treated well here. I am curious though that the review strata is either 1 or 5 stars like; destroyed my car, did damage or like... The best place ever; kinda weird that my initial review was the only one that was like weighing pros and cons of all the reviews but, whatever.. I'm not going to go into this anymore, I know what happened with me and all those stories I heard on the road - I thought they were just stories til now. But I've done things I'm not proud of; nothing nearly like this but, I know they happen. I know some mechanics get commission now; so ya, I would never; I will not be buying a car after this if my car truly dies; I've never had any intention of replacing my car; I am very grateful I got an amazing scholarship after this incidence but, living in a mobile home in a city where the tap water burns your mouth to save money at my work place because I could no longer commute to my work place to replace my engine after this was quite an experience that I as someone who believes in restorative justice wouldn't necessarily encourage for people. [run on sentence, I know] What is really awkward to me is I felt like it was a threat telling me my vacuum pump for the brakes needed to be replaced when I brought my concerns initially to Mike and staff; an now I am getting Yelp messages like this; when this person has my phone number... Not that after going through something like this who would really want to be answering or believe anything good from it. I digress, of everything that has happened since I went here, I still haven't replaced anything with the brakes; So, kind of wondering what the logic there was, a shot in the dark maybe. Several mechanics have refuted that statement outright regarding my brakes. Oh except the cap for the brake fluid reservoir, that's been broken since I bought the car; I guess it wasn't worth enough money to mention, much like fixing a few other things on my car. Its awkward to me after this I'm the most financially solvent I've ever been though I've had to fight a lot on this issue. I am much wiser for the experience; I would not recommend going here to anyone; I suppose unless you have a big family who might; weigh in on your behalf - which I do not, I'm pretty much alone most of the time, so if you're maybe a potential new resident for skid row in society; stay very clear of this place, you might find both your feet happily put into that grave bringing your car here. I do take the train a lot now as I'm an engineering student; and I've zooped up a scooter to go 40 miles range now by attaching another battery in parallel. So I don't need a car anymore at all. The school has gotten a grant for the train so I am not hemorrhaging as badly as I could be. I would recommend you not have a car if you saw what I saw. Picture of me on the train, receipt from my first AC estimate when I was like whoa, not confident enough to get this work near where I used to live, and a picture of me in front of the mobile home I stayed in for a month to pay for a new engine - the last thing I ever expected to buy in my life its called a "long block" if you don't know; I did not. SO YEA this was awful for me and I am surprised and disgusted at how readily people were to throw their lot in with this happening to me; this recent comment echoes that marginalization - like... If my car dies it will be a permanent reminder the community failing me; no money will make up for that failure. I love my car dearly and its painful that I may be seeing its end for my bad choice to go here not once but twice. read more

Brought in my car with an electrical problem that the dealer couldn't fix and they got it fixed the same day. 100% would recommend

Great friendly owner.However,if you decide to have this business do your project PLEASE do not allow Juan to perform the work !!! OMG,if you are a detail-oriented person, you will be greatly disappointed !!! I was told that my vehicle was test drove and everything was all set. Ok, I made it 2 miles before I had to call AAA to have it towed to my house ... WOW. By the way for you fellers out there that are expecting a normal turn around time, look elsewhere. OMG.. Mike the owner could have warned me that his team was not capable of completing the project and could have informed me that it was not safe to drive home. And had I been informed, this wouldn't be a bigger issue than it is. They say "Auto Electric Repair" more like "Auto Electric Despair. #EpicFail read more

Took my tow truck in that no one else was willing to touch. 2 weeks later a laundry list of things were fixed and I've had issues since.

Took my car in because I thought the headlights weren't working (user error) and they called me back and told me there were no issues with it because again, it was my own fault. They could've still charged for anything they wanted or needed but they called me back and allowed me to pick up the car with no issues and no charges. Very friendly, honest and respectful people. read more

I found Mike and his shop by searching for a shop that could repair electrical harness on Google since my 1990 Honda Civic Si needed a lot of electrical work. I had just finished rebuilding the engine, but was in desperate need of electrical work from an experienced hand. His shop not only did what was needed, but they went above and beyond to make sure everything was in perfect condition. They fixed my blower motor, my lighting system for my turn signals, my O2 sensor wire gremlin that was affecting my smog test, the cooling fan, my security alarm system (while removing the old one and organizing everything neatly), and helping organizing all of my wires under my dash to ensure a tidy cabin. I can't thank him and his team enough for treating me right with a fair price, amazing labor, and the integrity to fix something that was previously worked on that was still acting up without hesitation. I will be endorsing his shop on my race car and suggesting his shop to anyone looking for electrical work on their vehicle! Thank you Mike and please extend my thanks to your team! Charles read more

I took my F-type Jaguar here and was extremely happy with the experience. Jag's have a reputation for electrical problems so when the control panel starting doing weird stuff I was dreading the bad news and repair costs. I know taking the car to the dealer in Newport was going to be expensive....it always is, so I made a few phone calls to local shops and found Auto Electric Repair on Gothard, not far from my house. They were able to determine that the problem was very minor and not a major ordeal like I thought. I am extremely grateful for their honesty and professionalism. I've been telling all my friends about this shop and will continue to do so. It's hard to find honest repair shops if your girl. read more

Mike was excellent to work with. Wonderful owner. Repaired my electrical when nobody else could. Service was quick and professional.

This place is awesome. I had a problem with my car not being able to start. I took my car to a local mechanic who wasn't able to figure the problem out. Thank God I found this place, I had my car towed in and Mike and his crew had my car running again. I would recommend this shop to anybody that's having any issues with their vehicle. read more

THEY BROKE MY CAR!!!! My car was brought in to fix my horn. They did a diagnostic and told me the problem was in the steering wheel and that it would be cheaper to run a bypass switch. I said that was fine to do. They placed the bypass switch in a hard to see place which is almost inaccessible and didn't secure it into the dash, just put in there like an 8 yr old doing a repair. They just dug it out with a knife is what it looks like and I can pull the switch out of the dash with ease. Now it's going to need a dashpad 316.33 for a crap installation. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, they broke my tilt steering lever, which will cost even more to repair. They told me if I didn't pay I would not get my car back. So I had to pay to be able to see how bad a job they did and the damage they had done. I now have to find the parts to fix what they broke, and pay to have someone else repair it. which due to how the steering column is made, is going to be almost a complete replacement, costing 500+ for a shop to do. I do not trust them now to fix what they messed up. read more
