I have taken both of my cars to Thanh for a few years now. Every time he has been easy to communicate with either phone or text. Very knowledgeable and has been very trustworthy. I highly recommend him and his team.

Genuine and honest. I went there for the engine check light. They gave me honest advice about the issue and fixed my windshield water pump as well. It ended up costing me very little money. They are quite busy, though.

I never make or post reviews, but I had to take time out to let people how great Thanh is when working with your car. Thanh is my goto personal mechanic for all my vehicles needs. He worked on my family s vehicles multiple times for several years and has always been honest, extremely friendly, professional, quick, and his prices were always reasonable and never overpriced. There s times I purchase parts beforehand and have brought them to him for installation and it was always perfect each time. He always lets you know what your vehicle needs for repairs and gives you quotes before he begins his work and has always been reliable and has great communication. I strongly urge anybody who needs work on their vehicle to come give Thanh a visit or a call. I recommend all my friends and family to Thanh. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Thanh is amazing! He s very honest and conversational! I can confirm the past reviews that he will not overcharge you, he gave me a steep discount when it turned out nothing was actually wrong with the car! Once again, Thanh is awesome!

Thanh discussed options and costs for repairing or replacing a transmission. I did research several other service shops and the price was fair and the warranty offered on the work is also reasonable. I highly recommend him.

I could write an essay on this place but I will keep it short and simple.Thanh will not rip you off. I'm sure you can say that about other mechanics in the area. But I've never had the pleasure to be serviced by one until I met Thanh earlier this year.Don't take my words for it. Next time you have to service your car take it to this place for a second opinion.Guaranteed your experience will be similar to mine and all the good reviews on this place.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes

I have used this place twice now and I feel like I got really lucky discovering this place. If your looking for an honest and reliable mechanic this is the one. They have replaced brakes and a starter for me and have always been very efficient. The price I paid was what I was quoted both times, very good prices also. What really stands out is that they are very friendly here. I will Def. Keep coming here.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

I've been going to Thanh's for years. He is honest and his prices are very reasonable. It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust, but Thanh is the real deal. Just don't expect a fancy waiting room. He keeps a very low overhead and passes the savings on to you.

This shop always amazes me whenever I bring in my car for service. I brought in my car for a new brakes and rotors. Within 30 minutes of arriving they were able to determine the brakes were fine and all I needed was to get the rotors cut. I went from potentially needing to pay $500 (new brake pads and rotors for front and rear) to only paying $80 to cut the front rotors. They also even notice was car was due for oil service so I got an oil change done there as well. Overall great customer service from start to finish. My total out of pocket was $140 (80 for rotor service and $60 for synthetic oil). I recommend anyone to go here. They also do a great job with social distancing and covid requirement; I have been to some other auto repair shop where they do not even social distance or even wear a mask.Services: Brakes, Oil change

Honest and trustworthy. My AC was failing last summer (not cooling), I brought our Honda Odyssey 07 to Honda Capitol Dealership and told me that the condenser needed to be changed and will cost me $1500 including the $250 non refundable diagnostics. So I. Brought the mini van to Thanh and he just replaced some seals and added freon and charged 100 bucks for it. It has been almost a year and my AC is still in perfect condition....and almost 2 yrs later, my A/C is still working like a champ. Capitol Honda won t return the $250 diagnostic fee that they charged me, when in fact it was obviously a misdiagnosis!!!April 2023 - TheA/C is still as cold as new. I have 250K miles on my Odyssey and Thanh takes care of it. Honda dealership is a total rip off

I had to bring my Porsche in because the belt need to get replaced. The check engine light was on and had to get towed in. The dealership wanted to charge me approximately $1500 plus diagnosis ($250 more). Toyota Thanh took care of my car in a quick manner and good value (~$490). He fixed it with 2 days. Cheaper than the dealership! Thank you Toyota Thanh! Even though I call him Toyota Thanh (he used to fix my Toyota s) He has worked on all my vehicles for almost 10 years. I m going to Send all my friends and family to you to get their cars fixed!

Long story short here. I needed to have an alternator fixed. Thanh's auto service fixed it at a reasonable cost.( i brought my own parts) The owner, or head mechanic, is a fairly nice guy. However, the next day, my car broke down in the middle of the expressway due to the alternator not charging my battery.(I asked the mechanic to check before if left. He said he did, i'm sure he didn't). I had to use my own insurance to tow the car back to the body shop. To their credit, they got the car fixed quickly and the owner said he would give me 50% off my next oil change. I'm on the fence on returning.

This store is a SCAM! Beware!!He charged me $130 for car diagnosis.DON T fall for his sweet talking.He ended up telling me the same problems for the car which I already knew. ( I think he did not even diagnosed my car, my car was at same place and same state when I left the car at the store for diagnosis)He overestimated the cost in the diagnosis report.For example: new turbocharger at AutoZone for my car comes at $600, he estimated $800 and labour charge $600.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning

Unexpectedly my 2015 Honda Accord starter gave out and a close friend recommended that I take my car to Thanh's Auto Services and Repair. I called Thanh and he immediately took my car in the same day and got to work. Thanh fixed my car and had my car running in no time. Thanh did a great job and really helped me out (Thanh saved me from spending the extra money that it would have cost to take it to the Honda dealership where just to get a diagnostic would be close to $200!). Thank you Thanh!! Highly recommend!!

My mom goes to Thanh, I go to Thanh, and now almost all of our friends go to Thanh. He is the greatest mechanic. He is very truthful, extremely attentive and, absolutely hilarious. He is the only mechanic that I will ever use. I trust him 100%, I recommend him to any and everyone who has had a bad experience with their mechanic. He is phenomenal at what he does and most of all he s trustworthy.

I took my 2003 Honda to Thanh. He is busy but very friendly. He gave a sincere advice about what need to get fixed at a very reasonable price. This is the second time here for the service. I definitely recommended this place to my friends.

I've been coming to see Thanh. For a while now. The reason I came the 1st time was because of all the great reviews. I would definitely call him " The Surgeon of Vehicles" Very fair and honest! Will keep coming back.Thank youThanh

Took my 1997 Ford Explorer in to fix AC. First visit found had crack in evaporator core and receiver dryer. Told me it was fixed. Picked up drove home and on my way home went back. Compressor will not come on or stay on. He kept two more days and said some sensors needed replacing and that it was fixed. Drove home to nice cool air. Home is less than 10./minutes away. Few days later went out and stops working after 10 minutes of driving. $700 for 10 minutes of AC a trip. Need to go back but also need my vehicle for work.

Thanh is always honest about what needs to be done and what it will cost to repair. I've been a customer here for about 7 years and always leave with a positive experience. Its a no frills place but an excellent vehicle maintenance shop.

Great mechanic, excellent prices. I've enjoyed his expertise for nearly a decade and unfortunately he doesn't do full electric cars just yet. Hope he gets in early to enjoy some incredible growth.

Thanh's Auto Service & Repair are as honest of a shop as I have come across. His effort to keep the cost down and minimize the frustration is very respectable. I plan on going back to him for all of my foreign cars.
