The dealership charged me $550 for an oil change, while Autohaus would have performed the same service for approximately $250. I also had my front and rear brakes replaced, along with an alignment, and saved well over $2,000 compared to the dealership's estimate. Gary and his team of highly skilled technicians did an outstanding job. Their expertise, honesty, attention to detail, and fair pricing are exactly what you hope to find when servicing a high-end foreign vehicle. The work was completed professionally, on time, and with excellent communication throughout the process. It is refreshing to find an independent shop that delivers dealership-quality service at a fraction of the cost. I trust Autohaus completely with my Porsche and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional service on European luxury vehicles. Five stars are not enough.

I can't say enough great things about Avondale Auto Repair, Nathan, Rick and their staff…read more As a first-time customer, I came in with what I thought was a simple issue--my 2017 Toyota RAV4 key fob suddenly stopped working. I'd replaced the battery before, so I tried that again... nothing. My (very mechanically inclined) husband tried too--still nothing. That kicked off the search for a replacement, and wow--what a frustrating experience. The dealership quoted me $600 to replace and program a new key. Automotive locksmiths were all over the place--$180, $250--and the whole process felt vague and transactional, like you couldn't get a straight answer without jumping through hoops. Then I found Avondale Auto Repair through the Costco Auto Program--and everything changed. Rick answered the phone, and within seconds I felt reassured. He was straightforward, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. Instead of trying to sell me something, he explained the pros and cons--how aftermarket keys often don't last, and how they source directly from the dealer but can usually save customers about $100. No pressure. Just real, helpful information. When I came in, that same feeling continued. The shop itself is clean, bright, and welcoming--nothing like the typical auto repair environment. Nathan (Rick's brother-in-law) was at the front desk and immediately made us feel comfortable. Friendly, genuine, and incredibly helpful. Before recommending anything, he opened up my key and inspected it to confirm it wasn't just a battery issue. That alone told me everything--I wasn't being upsold. They were actually trying to help. Then Rick came back from lunch and did the same thing again, just to double check. I paid a deposit and they said they'd call once they got the key from the dealership. It took a few days. Even though they were short-staffed they week of my FOB order, Nathan handled everything with professionalism and kindness. He called three different dealerships to track down my key (since it was out of stock everywhere), coordinated the order, and made the whole process seamless. When I came back to drop off my car, even the staff helping me park were warm and courteous--it's those small touches that really stand out. We used to have a go-to repair shop nearby, but after a change in ownership, it just hasn't been the same. Now, we've found our new place. Avondale Auto Repair didn't just fix a problem--they earned our trust. And that's everything. That's how you do it, Nathan and Rick!

I guess they're under new management or something, because now they're a bunch of cheats, just trying to rip you off. I went there a couple years back with a brake issue. They insisted that my calipers needed to be replaced and it was going to cost just shy of $1,000.00 . I wound up taking the vehicle to a friend of a friend in hopes of getting a slight discount, and it turns out my calipers were fine! I just needed pads and rotors, which wound up costing significantly less. Went there again with another brake issue. This time, my brake fluid was leaking and I couldn't safely drive fast. I wouldn't have gone here after the last time, but it was late at night, this was the only place open, and I needed the car fixed ASAP for work. They look at it and tell me I need a whole new drum and shoe on one of my rear wheels. They tell me exactly what parts I'll need, and to save time and money, I go to autozone myself to pick them up. The wheel cylinder I needed wasn't in stock, but Autozone told me it cost about $15.00. Back at Marathon, they tell me they'll pick up the wheel cylinder the next day and do the repair. The next day, I go to pick up the car, and they show me the bill. The wheel cylinder they bought cost over $100.00, and they never thought to call me and ask if I was okay with that (I wasn't.). Then I found out that the drum I got was the wrong kind, but they said it was fine cause they didn't need to replace the drum after all. Yet there was still a labor charge on my bill for replacing it! Plus, I actually had to ask them to give me the drum back so I could return it to Autozone. Apparently they were just going to keep it. On top of all that, I had warned them that my window glass wasn't sitting right in the frame and they couldn't roll it down or it wouldn't roll back up properly. When I picked up the car, I saw my window sitting crooked in the frame and stuck so I couldn't fix it. I asked them to fix it since they obviously ignored my warning about it, and they said they couldn't. One more time, I brought my vehicle here for repairs (because I guess I'm crazy and didn't learn my lesson the last time), I was having transmission problems. And again, I would've preferred to go elsewhere, but it was late and this is the only place that was open within 10 miles of me. I figured I was leaking fluid and maybe needed a new pan. They looked at it and told me my transmission was broken beyond repair and needed to be replaced, to the tune of more than $2500.00 (almost as much as my whole car is worth!). I think you can guess what happened. I wound up waiting 'til the next day and taking it elsewhere, where I found out it was a leaky pan and low fluid. Total repair cost was not even a couple hundred. That was several months ago, and the transmission is running perfectly fine since then. The final straw was tonight. Oh yes, I was stupid enough to go back one more time. This time, it was just to replace a tire. I figured they can't really try to scam me on a simple tire change. Maybe not, but they can still be incredibly inconsiderate! When I pulled in, they told me there were a few cars ahead of me, but they'd get to me soon and I should wait for a bit. An entire hour goes by before the manager tells me they're too busy and I should come back in the morning. Are you freakin' kidding me!? You knew how busy you were when I rolled in there. THAT was the time to tell me to leave. Not after I've wasted a whole hour waiting around. I don't care what business you're in, you don't treat your customers like that. So, I don't care if they're the only place open 24 hours, I'm not coming back here for anything, not even gas. I bet if I came here asking for them to fix a broken taillight, they'd make me wait a week and say I need to get my whole electrical system replaced. Screw this place and all the lying con-men that work there.
