    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!

    When I posted a project, a 60,000 mile service for my 2015 Infiniti Q50, they were the fastest and…read morefirst to reply. Once I received a few estimates, that's where I went to get the work done. The service at Berman's Infiniti was $2,499 plus tax. Avondale did everything and more for $1,260. HALF! It included replacing every fluid - oil, brake, trans, differential, coolant - plus all filters, tire rotation, throttle cleaning, and more. I had the car in at 8:30 and it was done by 4:00. I've waited at Berman's 3 hours just to get an old change and tires rotated. Not only that, but the guys there were great to deal with, especially Nabor. I'm moving out of state soon, but if I wasn't this would be the only place I would take my car. I cannot recommend Avondale Auto Repair highly enough. Make it 6 stars.

    Found this place through a friend who gave high recommendations. Came in for a brake job and they…read morewere able to take my car in and update me on all of the things that were wrong with it; they gave me a priority list of what to repair. One thing that they were able to tell me that other places could not was that my car was missing a coolant overflow tank! This explained why I had so many overheating problems during the summer and I am glad that I am able to handle this now. If you are caught without a ride back home and are forced to wait for the job to be done, like I was, it was not bad at all. The person working the front desk, Ed, was very polite and lighthearted, making conversations easy and enjoyable. He answered any and all questions that I had and I learned a lot since I did not know much about cars. They also have a 24 month warranty, which is included in all services. The place is also Repair PAL Certified. Both of their mechanics are certified by the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and are both Master Automobile Technicians. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and worth it in time and money. When coming here, you will be paying for great car service and peace of mind knowing that these mechanics know what they are doing and have a strong family history in the mechanic business. I recommend this place to anyone that wants honesty and integrity when dealing with their cars. These people care about you by putting their all into the cars they work on, unlike big chain shops that just go for sales. That alone ensures me that I will be safe on the road and ensure that my car will last.

    I told the front guy the issue with my car. They ran a "courtesy" multipoint inspection. Front guy…read moresent a fancy report with issues my car had. I called and I authorized to fix one thing. Front guy told me the total and the numbers didn't square up but I waited to talk in person. When I went to get my car and mentioned that numbers didn't square up, front guy got flustered and said he was charging me just for labor ($200 plus just labor seemed excessive). I was in a rush and got the feeling that talking to a wall would be more productive then I paid and left feeling I was scammed (I got charged for the "courtesy" inspection too). I've taken my car to this place before and all was fine until this time. There are two other car mechanic shops near by, it's time to try them out.
