I got my brake pads + rotors replaced here. The whole process was transparent and a great deal! Ravelo took the time to talk to me and explain his reasoning, 10/10 service and it was quick! read more

Bought Groupon for an oil change, made an appointment, showed up on time-shop was completely closed. No sign, stayed 20 minutes in case they took a break. Nothing. Ended up having to go elsewhere. read more

Absolutely the best price in the market. Honest and reliable. Family owned local business that will beat any competitor. Thank you Ollie!!! read more

A nice family run business I truly trust. I never feel like they are taking advantage and help me make the decision that's right for my car and my wallet. I really cannot recommend them enough. They are always able to fit me in and they do good quick work. read more

If you ever need help with your car and don't wanna pay a fortune, I recommend this place wholeheartedly. They don't try to nickel and our meal and tell you everything is wrong when you know it's not. I love that it's family owned and operated. Thank you. You guys great job on my brakes. read more

As someone who's usually cars run around the year 1990 - it's good to find a reliable, honest car repair place. Everyone is extremely friendly (and family owned). I have gotten various car repairs here (successfully) and the prices were excellent. Thank you! read more

Ovie runs a great shop. he is honest and reasonably priced. His mechanics are great at what they do. Bring both our cars to them. It's good to know there are still honest and trustworthy people running businesses out there. when you drop off your car it's peace of mind knowing you won't break the bank paying for the repairs, and they don't try to convince you to do more work than is needed. read more

Nice family owned place. Good work honest people. They good give them a try. Nice family

My alternator belt broke on the highway, so I was recommended RAVELO'S. They were quick to fix it. The folks there that I talked to were very friendly and courteous, more than I'd typically expect at an independent auto shop. They called to let me know when it was done, promptly, and gave me a fair and reasonable price. read more

Update: See bottom My car broke down near them, so I walked over and asked them to fix it. Fortunately, they share a larger space with a tow company, so the tow guys grabbed the car, brought it to Ravelo and Bam! everything was taken care of. This is small, cozy place, with reasonably-knowledgeable mechanics. I was impressed that they were able to diagnose and repair my distributor in a matter of hours! That really helped me, b/c I was able to get to work the same day by car broke down! I was also happy they didn't hound me about fixing other things on my car, like the shocks and whatnot. Probably just because of that and their convenient location, I'll think about bringing it back to them for outstanding, but less critical work! Price was reasonable, too. They gave me the option of new or used parts. Update: my car broke down just about 2.5 months later on a road trip with the same problem. The new mechanic said Ravelo did a bad job putting the distributor in. He said it was held in with a metal shim. Therefore, I have to downgrade this review a bit. read more

Just bought a car for a very good price! Jocelyn helped me find the perfect car for my family and I. I'm so happy I was referred here. Everyone was honest, and really helpful. It was a very great service! I'll definitely be coming back for any service I'll need for my car and will recommend to others! read more

Highly recommended. I took my old accord there and they replaced clutch for less then half what multiple places charged. They are nice friendly people. read more

The address listed above is incorrect -- it's 144 Mystic Ave, not 146 I had an unusual situation: I hit a parked car, left my phone number, and was trying to arrange service to replace the directional light in such a way that the car's owner could drive in, get it fixed, and leave. I chose Ravelo's because of it's positive reviews and convenient hours (open til 6? on weeknights, and on Saturday 8-3). I'm always nervous going to a garage, but these people were wonderful. Joselyn was incredibly accommodating, and her dad (the business owner) was kind and very reasonable. They took a look at photos of the damage, gave me an estimate and were happy to let me order the part they needed online so that I could save myself a few dollars. When the car owner arrived, they fixed what they needed to and called me so that I could pay over the phone. They really went above and beyond to make my life easier, and all for an extremely reasonable rate!! I will go there again and recommend them to everyone. read more

Hubby and I went to look at a car that he had seen. We test drove it and all was good. The price they asked was a a little over budget for what we were willing to spend on the car. It was a pretty basic car. But Hubby was really interested in it. Well, we ended up buying another car on the lot that was a bit more stylish and "cool". And it was just a few hundred bucks more!!! His nephew helped us with the sale. He was a nice laid-back social typa guy. The others are nice, but personality wise, the nephew has them beat! We traded-in our car and were given fair value for it. I honestly was expecting less, but I'm not certain how they figure it out. Everything went smooth with the paperwork, payment, etc... They did repair/replace something before we took it home, so it took a few extra days. We also had to take it back a week or 2 later because of a constant shake. That was resolved and the car seems to be fine. Overall, a good experience. Would buy from again in the future. Would also recommend to others. read more

I was just looking up their number and came across YELP and thought why have I not ever YELP'd them. I have been going there for past 5 years or so and each time all has gone well. I really trust them which means a lot to me. If they say I need brakes, I know I need brakes. I went there once with my van, wipers would not work. No noise, nothing so i assumed I needed a new motor. The Dad, he soldered a wire that had come loose and charged me 5 bucks! Thanks RAV read more

RAVELO'S AUTO SALES & REPAIR is located near Atlas Liquor at 144 Mystic Ave. Their slogan is "honest work at a fair price" and I couldn't agree more. With all this snow, the roads have become narrow and I hit a recycling bin, losing my right rear-view mirror. Oly Ravelo had a reasonable replacement quote for me in moments. However, when I arrived at the shop he told me since the cables were still intact, he could actually just GLUE IT!! Which he did. Free of charge. Happiest customer alive. Thank you, Oly! read more

My brakes started making that awful noise of metal to metal. Decided to get a quote from a few auto repair shops close by for brake and rotors replacement. Rafael sent the cheapest quote by about $100-150 less than others and since I don't have a mechanic (My last mechanic screwed up last time and I don't want to go back) I decided to try them out. Jocelyn answered the phone and helped set up an appointment, I dropped off the next day. car was ready in less than 2 hours. she did call to recommend for better pads for 25$ more which seemed fair. I ended up doing a sticker and oil change. overall great service and now I have a new go to repair shop, very happy with the service and price. read more

I did like the no pressure approach the salesperson (woman) prrovided. She gave me the keys to the cars to test drive. I didn't buy a car from here because the cars (rav4s) were not in prime condition. One rav4 was very dirty with stains, one rav4 accelerated very slowly (2000 model), and the corolla i drove had a defected side electric mirror. Had the cars been in ready condition, I most likely would have bought it. read more

I'm going to miss this place when I go richmond va. They have serviced the autos in my entire family. A true asset to the auto repair industry. Came in for a tune up and was given a great price on what was needed where other places were given me estimates in the hundreds. Owner told me bring in my own parts if I wanted to and labor was inexpensive...less than a third of other quotes including an oil change. read more

I've been going to Ravelo for many years, as has my extended family. They're great, honest, and fair because they never try to pull anything or get me to replace something that I don't need to. I've brought my car in with what I thought needed or should be done (I'm obviously not a mechanic) and they recommended a much less expensive, yet quality, fix with better results so it wouldn't happen again (a wiring issue). Time and time again they are quick, thorough, friendly, and do not rip me off. I love that they give me the option of higher quality (and therefore typically more expensive parts) or lower quality (and therefore cheaper parts). Having this option, it's totally my decision. I recommend checking out my review of NTB in Everett, which unfortunately yelp doesn't think is relevant. Ravelo saved me $1,140.00 and my car was as good as it gets (passed inspection with flying colors), no problems, no more check engine light. Peace of mind. read more

I just got my breaks changed (rotors and pad, front and back). The labor was very reasonable. $200 for the whole job. I bought the parts from autozone.What I liked about the place is that they allow you to bring your own parts. read more

Great experience. The repair was prompt and well-done. The owners are a family who seem to love helping people get back on the road. Would definitely go back to Ravelo's for my next repair or purchase. read more

Olie Ravelo and his sister Jocelyn are the best! I was left a 20 yr old Volvo when my oldest brother passed away. My other brother and I flew from Minneapolis to Medford, MA. to get it, load it up with some of my late brother's stuff, and drive over 1000 miles back. However, it was New Year's Eve and I HAD to get back to MN but this car was falling apart and no one had the time or the parts to help. I kept getting told "not until next week." And then I called Ravelo's. Olie Ravelo told me to bring it right down! He fixed it right up- power steering column, new brake line as well as an oil change, and at far less than anyone else charges (and I've owned cars in NJ, Philly, NYC and Minneapolis) and, get this (!!), he called me -twice!- to make sure we got all the way back safely! What mechanic does that?! I'm thoroughly jealous of everyone who lives within 100 miles of them. Because if I did, I wouldn't even consider bringing a vehicle to anyone else! read more

Ravelo repair is very bad and will rip you off, you go there to check and fix one thing and next day something else breaks, they put aftermarket cheap parts and they charge you double or more the price parts and labor and if the new part that they install breaks again he will charge you to pay for it again plus labor, if you want to be robed go to Ravelo read more
