Every time I take my car there they fix one problem and create 3 more. Last time they had my car one month there for Ana electric issue charged me a ver 1k and they didn t fixed the problem. They also outsourced my car to another guy who was a stereo specialist not a mechanic. Needing to deal with another person I didn t knew or trusted. They also broke my wind shield while my car was there and needed to buy a new one. Will avoid at all costs.

I'm not one to write negative reviews. If you take a look at my history, all of them are positive, and I tend to be a lenient and understanding person. However, after my first impression of T A Auto Center, I have to say I am both disappointed and repulsed.I came in shortly before closing time, and asked about doing a repair in my car. When I got a previous diagnostic, I was informed that I either had to replace the spark plugs, ignition coils or both. I had replaced the spark plugs (at a different shop) and my car was still operating poorly. So I came to T A, in order to get a second opinion.Whoever helped me, I assume was the owner and I didn't ask for a name, asked me to open my hood. I did so, and he listened to the sound my car was making for 10 seconds, and jumped to the conclusion that my engine was not functional. He said that I needed to replace the entire head and this would cost upwards of 2000.When I told him about my previous diagnostic, both from AutoZone and then at another shop, he got defensive and asked me why my car hadn't been fixed yet. He then offered to do a proper diagnostic for $120, which I declined.I went back to the initial shop, they replaced the ignition coils and my car is allegedly running smooth again. This all cost less than $500. I just write this so you're weary of this man's assessments, as he clearly tried to take advantage of me yesterday.What he did is the equivalent to going to the ER and before they can run any tests on you, telling you you have cancer.I'm not saying stay away from this place, but be vigilant.

I am really upset! I thought he was honest the first time I went for a wheel bearing replacement. Which I wanted an interior door handle replaced and it couldn't be done because the latch is sticking but, I was still charged the $35 and he said he'd install it once I get a new one. So, I said fine.Now, I was quoted $250 for a clutch job if I got the parts. I called on Monday morning to see if I could leave the car but, he said Wednesday was better. I go to drop the car off and he said that it wouldn't be done until Monday since, I never called. He was busy and I didn't want to argue.I just got back from picking up my car and Felix charged me a hundred extra!!! He said we don't do clutches for $250. Even though he quoted me that price. I am disabled and don't have much income. He just ruined my holidays. That was an extra hundred that I wasn't prepared to pay. I called on Friday and he said he found time to finish on Saturday by 4 and what happened? I still had to wait until Monday! 4 1/2 days to do my clutch which he had all the parts for because I purchased the complete kit with flywheel. I'm a person with auto parts knowledge and a self mechanic.As a result, I will not be bringing any future business. It is near impossible to find an honest mechanic these days! Their phone communication is terrible. Unless Felix answers, if he does. Don't bother leaving voice messages because they don't return any phone calls.BTW, if you have had your car detailed like I did or, just care about cleanliness then you'll regret coming here. There's oil on my brake lever, steering wheel, door panel & seats.When I called to check the status on Friday, I asked how much to rotate the tires and to align the headlights. Felix said $20 for the rotation but, never gave me a quote on the headlights. Since I was barely able to afford the clutch job of $250, I said that's fine I'll just do it myself! He didn't do the headlights. Just to end up being overcharged a total of $135+ with my first 2 visits!I only came here because I was referred by 2 supposed relatives that have been coming here for years. I rotated my tires to find out that they're just like a majority of mechanic idiots that install lug nuts with impact guns. When they do this, it ruins the threads on the bolts! Every vehicle has a torque setting unique to each make & model. So, what happened? One of the rear lug bolts snapped off as I noticed metal shavings on most of the bolts. I have a 4 lug vehicle which rolling on 3 probably isn't as safe as a 5 lug wheel missing one. Moron's!Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance

Great service. I had a slow coolant leak. Felix identified the problem super fast. Ordered and replaced the part for a fair price. Car runs great now. Highly recommend.

This man took forever to fix my car. He always lied about the day it was going to be ready. So unprofessional. He did fix it but the body paint is ruined all over, he has so many cars in there, it's clustered. Scratches everywhere and very disappointing that it was him who made them and not me. Do not recommend, stay away if you can

I needed to get one of the quarter panel windows on my car replaced right away & Felix really helped me get a great deal & super fast! I originally tried to get it through Safelite but Felix got me a deal at half the price & installed it same day! HIGHLY recommend.

Best mechanic I've ever dealt with in my entire life! Felix is honest and to say he is reasonably priced would be an understatement.My daughters car overheated 2 weeks ago and she took it to some other mechanic who told her she needed a new head gasket it would cost over thousand dollars, I told her please wait and let me have Felix take a look at it, Felix examined her car took it for a drive on the freeway and on the road there was no problem, it was just a one time overheating deal the head gasket was fine and there is no charge for him examining the car; Saved my daughter thousand dollars.Last December the axle broke on my 2007 Toyota Corolla and I had to have it towed so I took it to Felix, he replaced my axle in less than 2 1/2 hours for under $200, Toyota, wanted $1500 for the job.I must say that even if I moved 200 miles away or more I would figure out some way to always bring my car back to Felix. Never in my adult life have I ever met somebody so honest that works on cars it's like stepping to the twilight zone. "Next stop Willoughby" More than half the people in my apartment building go to him for car repairs at the recommendation of just one tenant here named Neil where I live. Thanks Neil and thank you Felix and all of your workers.

Took my 2005 VW Golf in with parts I bought online. They put it in and charged me really cheap for labor.This is a small shop, so come in early. I went there Saturday morning around 10am and they were already booked the entire day.Give these guys a try.
