I can't say enough good things about Five Points Tire. Finding someone you trust with your vehicle…read moreis not easy, but Five Points Tire has completely earned my trust and confidence. From the moment I brought my car in, Victor (the owner) was honest, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain exactly what was going on, what needed to be fixed, and what could wait. (Which is what I really appreciate; the honesty) There was no pressure and no upselling. He was just straightforward with me. The quality of work is topnotch, and everything is always completed on time and at a good price. My car is very old and it continues to run very well, since I have started taking it to Five Points Tire. I will never go anywhere else. If you're looking for a mechanic who genuinely cares about their customers, I highly recommend 5 Points Tire.

A random bolt was welded onto the new catalytic converter and then welded to my frame, which looked extremely unprofessional. After the installation, my car developed a strange noise that sounded like an exhaust leak as well. When I returned to ask if he would remove the converters and issue a refund because I wasn't happy with the work, he became very defensive and told me to get lost. I ended up taking my car elsewhere to have the job done properly. The new shop did a more professional job, but unfortunately I'm now out $4,000 because I had to pay for the repair along with new catalytic converters and didn't receive a refund for his sloppy work. I understand that many people may have had positive experiences, but mine was very disappointing. Based on my experience, I would recommend taking your business elsewhere -- or at the very least, carefully inspecting any welding work before leaving.

I originally encountered these guys when looking for a shop that could fix the convertible top on…read moremy BMW Z4. They told me what would be involved and that they would not be able to work on it without it costing a fortune. A less than honest shop might've tried to soak me for a repair job that ends up costing more than expected. I know, because others have tried that. These guys gave me an honest appraisal, and I remembered that when choosing a shop to work on my wife's car. We had just bought a 2006 BMW 330 ci, and like clockwork, just after the 30-day warranty expired, we had problems. It had just rained torrentially for three straight days and unbeknownst to us, the drainage ports in the trunk were completely clogged, allowing water to build up and penetrate to the electrical system. We noticed the dash lights, indicators, and steering wheel controls did not work. We brought it to Toole's with the hope that it was something easily diagnosed and fixed. It wasn't. To keep an already long story from getting much longer, I will just say that it was a 4-day-long diagnosis as the problem component(s) were not easily found, even with advanced diagnostic equipment. They sought out expert advice from other professionals who specialize in BMWs. The problem component was found and replaced. I originally agreed to three hours of labor, but since it went as long as it did, I happily agreed to an extra hour. So essentially, they stuck to the agreement plus a reasonable additional amount. I tried to add on a tip but they wouldn't accept it. We bought them pizzas instead. I recommend this shop because they're honest, friendly professionals who seem to really want to help out their customers while running a respectable business.

Tran's Auto Repair made its way onto my radar due to all of its great reviews, which I can attest…read moreare quite true -- I can't imagine finding a better auto repair shop in the area (without sacrificing quality and professionalism). I admittedly ended up only swinging by for a general check-up on my car after driving myself across the state. They were clear about how long it was going to take them to get to my car (that I brought by without an appointment), and they actually got around to completing the task before the estimated time. They were really thorough with identifying issues, and rather than try to sell themselves, they preemptively asserted that I could take my car elsewhere if I felt more comfortable with that; they still wanted to show me exactly what/where the issue was so that I could share that with whomever I would ultimately decide to do business with. I really appreciated how genuine and honest they were without making me feel guilted into having them work on my car. I'm not going to sugarcoat that the quote was a bit steep, but I trust that they were going to be the most diligent and detail-oriented people for the job. Their expertise is impressive, and I'm glad to know that I can always come here if I have car troubles again. Wholly recommend for character alone!

Almost never leave reviews, but for a uniquely honest auto shop (rare these days)--I try to make…read morethe time. Went in for an oil change at the local Honda dealership and they recommended I change the steering rack on my car. The estimate was $4k+. Called several different shops to get quotes. Saw Tran's Auto Repair and read through some reviews and thought I'd give it a shot. Not only did Sy take his time to check on an estimate for me--which was very reasonable for the work required to replace a steering rack--he also suggested I bring the car in to double check to see whether I actually need the replacement. I was able to take the car in a few days later and after checking, turns out the rack was seeping just a bit of fluid, but not a major leak (what seems common for a car with 150k miles). Recommended we don't change it now and continue to check on it every oil change until it becomes an actual leak (if that ever happens). That recommendation checks out with how the car drives. Before my visit to the dealership I didn't notice any major issues with the steering--the car seemed to still have firm, controlled steering even at highway speeds. Mind you, I understand the business nature of auto shops. It is advantageous to recommend and do work on vehicles. But the fact that Tran's recommended not to get the steering rack replaced right now should speak to how honest they are with their customers (even a new one). I'll be back, and would highly recommend this place to anyone in need of service/repairs.

Castillo's is my go to for auto repairs and service…read more They are honest and trustworthy which is really important to me. I had oil leaks in my car for years and they checked them every time I went in. After about 5 years they said it was time to fix the oil leaks. Unfortunately the work needed was more than the car was worth so I ended buying a new car this last go around. The cost was no fault of Castillo's, my car was 15 years old. It was time. I highly recommend Castillo auto repairs.

Here's the long story: I sent my car to stress-free auto for an oil change. Dropped off the car before noon but they called me at 4:30pm to tell me that they cannot serve my car because there's a rat infestation. They did not offer any suggestions and I have no idea what to do. They did not want anything to do with my car. Left with a car with rats towards the end of the day, I walked by Castillo's, and I asked if they would be able to help me. They were so nice about it and offered to help. They did not delay for a second and they strategized as a team right away. Yes it was really a team effort! Since they had to deal with the rats, cleaned up the nest, and did a quick cleaning of the engine area. I was able to have a rat-free car within half an hour. Thank you for your kindness!
