I was about to take my ten-year-old car on a two thousand mile trip -- and I didn't want problems…read more Gus and Choo-Choo and the crew are absolutely to the go-to guys for such a situation. I went in and said, look, Gus, I'm an old-timer and I don't want to end up broken down by the side of the road. I want 2000 trouble-free miles. His team looked the car up and down -- and found one thing that was going to fail. They never find "extra" problems that fatten their wallets. They know that they're going to do well if they're honest. They fixed that one thing, which would have gone. And I'm back home, in fine fettle. No place is going to be completely perfect -- but we have taken three different cars to them, never had a follow-up problem, never had a bill that seemed unreasonable, and even had him tell us on a number of occasions that he could fix something (and he could!) without an expensive overhaul. Trusting a mechanic? Priceless. -- Richard

Quick and friendly service and honest opinions about the car - which is really appreciated - you don't always see this when going to a auto shop.

The quality of the work and attention to detail really stood out. What impressed me most was their communication and reliability. They were timely with everything and always answered the phone whenever I had questions--even on the weekends. That level of dedication is hard to find. You can also tell the owner runs a very tight ship and treats his employees well, which shows in how professional, organized, and friendly the whole team is. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great service and people who genuinely care about their customers.

**Note that you won't find this review on the company's website because the owner, Jaime Dovale,…read moreremoves all negative reviews ... which, in addition to being deliberately deceptive and dishonest, obviously defeats the purpose of reviews.** Certified. Automotive. Disaster. Without question, this was the worst experience I've ever had as a consumer of any product or service (I'm 58) ... nothing else even comes close. This saga spanned over 2 1/2 years ... it wasn't an isolated incident, and certainly not an outlier. I made the terrible mistake of trusting Jaime Dovale to do a full body-off overhaul of my 2006 Jeep Wrangler, and I couldn't have made a worse choice. Dovale said he was capable of doing the job and estimated that it would take 4-5 weeks. The scope of the project modestly increased as we proceeded, but I ultimately didn't get my Jeep back for 6 months (25 weeks to be exact) ... and only then after frequent visits to check on the status and many requests for completion. When I finally picked up my Jeep, Dovale's endless drivel and empty promises collided with reality ... and reality has prevailed from that day on. I received an absolute mess with which I've been dealing ever since ... a vehicle so riddled with problems that I had to take it back to Certified Automotive Disasters 15 times in the next 13 months ... appalling by any standard. Just think about how insane that is ... 15 times, AFTER he did a full overhaul (ultimately, 17 times in 25 months). And I also had to schedule 3 appointments with a local Jeep dealer and 1 appointment with an auto glass shop to fix problems that Dovale was unwilling to acknowledge, incapable of fixing, or both ... for a grand total of 21 returns in 26 months to fix virtually everything he and his hack techs touched ... and problems remain to this day. Dovale ruined a vehicle that I bought new and had always meticulously maintained ... I now have problems that didn't previously exist (most infuriatingly, water leaks thanks to Dovale's hack body work ... which means my interior gets soaked every time it rains), and he doesn't have the ability or integrity to fix them. NAPA has a limited two-year warranty on its parts and labor, but it turned out that much of the hack work that Dovale did on my Jeep wasn't covered. Yet Dovale falsely claimed, repeatedly, that ALL of his work was covered by a two-year warranty ... a complete lie. He finally admitted (via text) that, actually, he has no written warranty ... which means no warranty exists ... by far, Dovale is the most dishonest businessperson I've ever encountered. I complained to NAPA about a rear main seal leak that Dovale failed to fix twice, and that he then denied was even leaking ... after the local Jeep dealer confirmed that it was the seal, NAPA paid for me to have it repaired at that dealer ... I have the reimbursement check to prove it. Whoever heard of an auto repair shop that is so incompetent that they pay to have the work done at a dealer? I certainly hadn't ... until Certified Automotive Disasters. There isn't enough space in this review to explain all of his careless, sloppy, incompetent mistakes, including many that put my safety at risk ... far worse than a bad DIY job. I've had exponentially more problems since Dovale 'fixed' my Jeep than I did in the previous 15 years combined ... body work, clutch, 4WD, wheel balancing, steering/suspension, exhaust/tailpipe, check engine light, alternator, rear main seal, door seals, header seal, windshield, rear wiper, tailgate hinges/alignment, headlight alignment, turn signals, damage to interior, and the list goes on. And on top of the mind-boggling list of problems/mistakes/errors, the stress, inconvenience, and disruption to my life that he caused is incalculable ... constant and nonstop. I wouldn't trust Dovale to properly inflate a tire ... but if you don't value your vehicle, your money, or your time, then Certified Automotive Disasters is the place for you.

I don't know much about the technical aspects of cars and knew I had to buy something used to afford it... ...and then I found the perfect car (after a lot of research and shopping around). A few years old, but only 16k miles on it after a light lease. There were some cosmetic things, but they were minor and I wanted the car. The dealership promised to fix what I pointed out and thoroughly look through everything and when I returned everything checked out great. My dad recommended getting a third party evaluation as a safeguard and thank God I listened and found Eurosport down the street. The car was sh*t. It was hemorrhaging oil, had been sloppily repainted and the dealership had used very cheap parts to fix the breaks, replace tires, etc. Probably more wrong too... after so few miles. Nick and Tony saved me from making a horrible, life-impacting purchase with their affordable, thorough and honest evaluation/advice. When I finally found another A6 that fit the profile, I brought it to Eurosport again (even though it was much farther away this time). Nick and Tony again outdelivered by finding every part out of place. Even though the car had many more miles (40k) and wasn't perfect, they recommended I buy it. They even gave me the second inspection free with a ton of other valuable advice. I know this is a long post and I'll save the rest for my memoirs, but I really do appreciate everything they did and I am very happy with my car a couple months later. I plan to drive the extra 45 minutes each way and return to Eurosport anytime I need my car worked on. I think you should too.
