Our tow truck driver spoke highly of the place and when we got there, they were closed. Our tow truck driver called the owner/ son's cell phone number which is posted on the building. Within minutes Chepe came and opened the shop for us. Because it was a Sunday, we didn't expect our car to fixed until Monday at the earliest. They assessed our car needed a new alternator and that it should be ready in 40 or so minutes! What? Sure enough our car was done and we are on our way home! They charged us what Auto Zone charged them for the part and for their labor. We are so grateful for a place that is trustworthy, who goes out of their way to help and doesn't gouge travelers who are desperate to get to their destination. Thank you so much, Villanueva Auto Repair!

I called them FIFTEEN minutes before they closed, and not only did they answer, they stayed open and waited for us to arrive. They greeted us with a/c and water and troubleshooted the issue and were literally like angels sent from God. The kindest people! When they found out it was the air compressor and they couldn't get the part until the next day, they arranged for someone to take the passengers in our vehicle in a personal vehicle. I'm so grateful for this gem in Blythe, especially for out of towners who aren't familiar - choose Anthoney's!

I got stuck in the middle of nowhere and decided to bring my car here. Anthony's communications…read moreskills were embarrassingly poor. I asked via text, and on the phone for a itemized quote and only gave me the price of the part and said he would give me a full quote once he figured out what was wrong with my car. Unfortunately, even after asking again, I never got a quote. I just got a surprise bill lol at least I made it home I guess. Lastly his assistant was RUDE and gave me attitude when I brought it to his attention, he said "she'll be fine" no apology or trying to make it right. When I took my car back to my mechanic he said he over charged me which I figured he would do but still gave him the benefit of the doubt.

They were kind and willing to work on my car first thing in the morning. My spark plug was impacted some how. So he fixed the spark plug. 20 miles down the road I had the same sputtering issue. I somehow made it to O'reileys in Indio. I bought a new spark plug and tools to do myself. When I went to go take the boot off of the spark plug, I realize the screw had been completely stripped. Only reason I know that it was their mechanic, is I had just done the spark plugs myself 3 months ago. Now the boot will not tighten down. Because of the mechanic carelessly and quickly "fixing" the spark plug, he stripped a main part. I will now have to replace the entire top part of the engine to have that part fixed. As I am grateful for them getting me back on the road. I really wish they would have taken their time. Very unfortunate.

Dennis Taylor really is as good as it gets. An honest mechanic is hard to come by but Taylor…read moreAutomotive is undoubtedly honest. I've had a weird electrical problem with my car for over 6 months now. It simply wouldn't turn over. I took it to Pep Boys and they couldn't find anything wrong. I took it to the Honda dealership where I purchased the car, the mechanics there couldn't find anything wrong. It got to the point that I had to use a $170 jumpbox every time I had to start my car. Several hundred dollars later I finally thought to take it back to Dennis and get his opinion. Within 3 minutes Dennis Taylor found the the problem -- dirty terminal -- even though the terminals looked spotless. 5 minutes scrubbing it clean and getting everything screwed back together and I was off, good as new. He charged me nothing even though he easily could have. He said it just makes him happy to see someone "finally win one." He was just happy to see a persistent problem finally get resolved for someone. This is rare service from a mechanic. I couldn't recommend Dennis Taylor Automotive more.

They also offer other automotive services. I'm so glad I decided to come here. It's a friendly, family owned business with excellent customer service.
