All of the parts are high quality, the price is phenomenal, and the trust we have for Joe is 100%. An example of why I trust him: Whenever I get quick inspections from Firestone (I have a lifetime wheel alignment and get significant oil change discounts with them) and they tell me I need some expensive same day service, I always go to Joe for his advice. Without fail he diagnoses the same problem but with better explanations and significantly better/transparent pricing. He'll continue to have our business and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a genuine mechanic that won't bullsh*t you.

Be cautious. Yesterday my car stopped at the 76 trying to get a car wash. I called his shop since…read moreit's the closest. He seemed helpful and said he'll take a look at it and he doesn't know what it could be. So I called for a tow truck to bring it over to his shop next door at 5 am. I met the towing guy that morning and he tried to start my car, and he said it might be the fuel pump and it might cost around $500 or so and that I should call around, even better, he knows other repair shops he can tow my car. I said no thanks, since Charlie was helpful enough and I committed to him first, and my car was towed to the his shop. I tipped the tow truck driver for his quick response and kept the card he gave. I get a call from Charlie later that afternoon, Charlie says the cam shaft and thermometer was showing up as a check engine, and it would cost several hundred dollars. I thought it was expensive, but I decided he should include the water pump as well since it's already there. The cost came out at $780. I was like "damn!" But okay that's fine. At least I get to pick up my car. After work, he calls and says "im sorry but I made a mistake and I assumed that fixing the check engine items would make it work. It's the fuel pump, and it's going to cost an additional $475." Now I'm pissed. I'm thinking, why didn't he fix the fuel pump first before making all these repairs??! "I made an assumption and I feel bad about it," he said. I told him the whole point of bringing my broken car was to get it up and running. Screw the nicety, make it run damn it! $1000+ Wtf!!!!!! He has 40 years of experience and a young tow truck driver got it right by in a few seconds trying to turn the engine on, instead of him. Do I pay a doctor to ask his assumptions to find out what's wrong with me? Have him charge me surgery, and then say, "oh damn, it's the liver and not the kidney after all! But your kidney is fixed!" I got a little upset over the phone and said he should eat the cost of charging me for the fuel pump, and he said "no it doesn't work that way." I said, I'll give him a call tomorrow and that I'll do my research tonight, and hung up. I was going to pick up my child at pre-K but decided to stop by the shop to work it out with him and further negotiate a deal. I walk up to the counter and he gets defensive and starts raising his voice saying that im attacking him. He told me "get your car towed out of here tonight, I need that space and I have enough work to deal with." I was appalled. I'm thinking, I just want my car to start to get out here. "No, go. I'm not going to feel guilty about this, I'm hard on myself already as is for overlooking it." Did I do something wrong here? At this time, I feel like he's trying to turn the table. I just want my car running. He's fixed everything else, but my car isn't running; he neglected to fix the main cause, the one a tow truck driver easily diagnosed in a matter of seconds: the fuel pump. Now it's caused me further inconvenience since I have to look for a tow service. I said I'll be back in an hr. I picked up my daughter and called around car service and tow trucks, finally got a tow service and told the receptionist what happened. She said she'll dispatch a representative right away. I go back to Charlie and he tells me to sign an invoice, and there was no cost to the labor, and I thought everything was okay, so I sign both copies. He grabs both invoice and walks back to the office. "Hey, don't I get a copy?" "No, you didn't pay a thing so you don't get a copy," im like wtf, "can you give me the old parts you worked on?" He pauses and starts thinking, "no, I have to do some business with it, you can pick it up tomorrow" No invoice. No old parts. The tow truck driver comes in and I walk up to the passenger window and tell him what happened, "so the car isn't running?" No. He does what he needs to and I go back to my wife's van. A few min later the tow truck driver comes up to my window and explains what should happen, "they should've ran a diagnostic and saw that there's something wrong wth the fuel pump, they should be able to do that with your model." I told the him, "if he fixed the fuel pump, and gets my car running and then suggested this or that along with he check engine...I probably would've come back to this shop and got the others fixed." I get my car towed the second time today. Tomorrow, in going back to the shop and ask for my old parts back and the invoice. Let's see what happens. (I'll update). I would never expect, as someone who stood out yesterday in my military uniform, serving 18 years, that Charlie would do this not just to someone who needed help, but someone in the military. As a military member and former paramedic, I don't have time to make assumptions in my line of work. I have a standard of protocol and a duty to make sure I provide the right customer care for my patient or someone dies. Be cautious getting service.

My BMW X5 requires air bags springs and top oil gasket replacement, and Sam took the time to diagnose and test to validate what must be fixed. He is ethical and technically strong.

WORST AUTO REPAIR SHOP EVER!!! We had a very disappointing experience with Sam at this mechanic…read moreshop. We brought our car in for repairs, but after their work, the vehicle had additional problems that it did not have before. Instead of resolving the issue, the situation became even more frustrating. When we raised our concerns, the mechanic was unprofessional and yelled at us rather than addressing the problem respectfully. I expected honest communication and quality workmanship, but unfortunately received neither. I trusted this shop with my vehicle and left feeling frustrated and unheard. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop and would advise others to proceed with caution. Very poor customer service!!!

It's really hard to find honest mechanics these days, but after speaking with the gentleman (come to find out it was the owner's son) on the phone, I immediately felt at ease. I brought my car in, and they diagnosed the problem. They let me know it might take some time since the part wasn't in stock. After I explained my situation to the owner Mr. Mahida, he told me to give him until the end of the day...which I really appreciated. By 5 PM that same evening, my car was ready. It wasn't cheap, but it was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind knowing my car was in good hands with honest people. I also really appreciated that they didn't try to upsell me on any services I didn't need. They did an amazing job, the service was excellent, and I would definitely recommend South Bay Euro Car!!!

I don't usually write reviews, but Roberto's Auto Repair absolutely earned this one…read more I originally found them after asking ChatGPT for recommendations on a trustworthy mechanic to diagnose some steering issues with my car, and Roberto's was the first recommendation. From my very first phone call, I had a great experience. I called on a Thursday, and they were able to get me in the very next day. The receptionist was friendly, welcoming, and made the entire scheduling process incredibly easy. When I dropped my car off on Friday, I explained the steering concerns I'd been experiencing. They listened carefully, assured me they would thoroughly inspect everything, and later that afternoon called to let me know they expected to have the car ready by Monday. What impressed me the most was their honesty. After inspecting my car, they told me they couldn't find anything that needed to be replaced regarding my steering concerns. They easily could have recommended unnecessary repairs, and I never would have known the difference, but they chose to be honest instead. That kind of integrity is hard to find. They also performed a wheel alignment, topped off my tire pressure, and even identified a completely separate issue that will need attention in the future. They gave me a quote for that repair without any pressure or sales tactics. To top it all off, my final bill was nearly $200 less than I had originally expected. Finding a mechanic you can genuinely trust is rare, and I feel like I found one. Roberto's Auto Repair has earned a customer for life. If you're looking for honest people who do quality work and treat customers with respect, I can't recommend them enough.
