Just got finished here. Went for a second opinion after a dealer and a shop told me that a noise I was hearing in the car was "not safe" and would have to spend north of 1000$ to fix it. They took my car on a ride real quick, I tagged along. They then put it on lifts and looked at everything. Told me it was perfectly safe and annoying at most. Everything looked to be in safe working condition. They didn't so much as charge me a penny and sent me on my way. Honest work! I will be going here for all future concerns.

We've been going to Williams Automotive for approximately 10 years and have never been disappointed. Always fair and spot on. We feel very comfortable with Scott and his employees.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They are honest about what you need rather than preassure you for services that aren't necessary like many other shops. Definitely will come again for repairs.

It's never a good situation when you are stranded 200 miles from your home with a car that cant be driven. After my son accidentally put diesel fuel in my car I contacted a few service shops to find out the best way to deal with the issue. Scott was honest, caring and saved me time and money by not overcharging me as some other shops had quoted. The repairs were done for half the cost and the car now rides perfect. Thank you once again for providing excellent customer service and quality work.

My wife s coworker recommended to take our Nissan Quest here for suspension issues. First things first, they were solidly booked for at least a week because they were very busy. Not a bad thing. Luckily, I could afford to wait, so I did. Our day came and I dropped the vehicle off. Here s my first impression: it s not the biggest garage in the world but it was tidy. Everything was organized and in its place, the tools, parts, fluids, etc. No trash on the floor or mess anywhere. If the floor wasn t stained with fluid you could probably eat off it. All the mechanics were busy bees, no idle talk or chit chat. April at the office took my info and I left. Got a call from Scott a couple of hours later letting me know what the problem was and the cost, which was more than fair. Got a call in the morning (happily surprised) and got my car back in less than 24hrs, good as new. I asked Brandon who helped work on the car a few questions and unprompted, he dropped what he was doing to show me the old parts and what was wrong with my car and took the time to answer more questions. Lastly, while getting our vehicle, Scott spotted us and introduced himself personally. Even recommended another shop for alignment services to save us money.The process of trying a new mechanic is always scary but I can t begin to tell you the peace I felt after doing business with this shop. Aces, top notch, masterful, etc.,all the superlatives apply. Thank you Scott, Brandon and the rest of the team. We ve found our local mechanic.

I am new to the area and was recommended to Williams Automotive by a coworker. April and Scott run the best mechanic shop I have ever been to, and I do not mean that lightly. They are quick, thorough, and very reasonably priced. Scott is incredibly knowledgeable and upfront about different repair options, and I have observed an impressive range of cars entrusted to their repair: from family minivans to personal vehicles to modified trucks and high-end sports cars. I m extremely grateful that my first mechanic shop in the area became my only mechanic shop; I won t be going anywhere else!

I would highly recommend Williams Automotive. Scott is awesome. I had another place tell me I needed a handful of things done and Scott was honest about what was actually needed and what wasn t. He also took the time to explain how/why things should be done. Today I was panicking about my car and he squeezed my car in to make sure it wasn t anything serious. My car is older and I commute so making sure it is well taken care of is a top priority. I would trust all the good reviews, I am glad I did!

Once again, I got exceptional service from Scott Williams. Where other mechanics might go for the quick, easy (and sometimes expensively wrong) solution, Scott does the detective work necessary to get it right. I expect his knowledge and experience give him a big advantage. Best of all, he really does care about his customers. I discovered him through word-of-mouth recommendations by neighbors, and I now share their enthusiasm. Excellent in every respect.

3/24...Scott Williams Automotive continues to completely "rescue" me (and my cars) from hugely difficult car-repair situations. I don't have enough words to thank him and everyone there for all they've done for me and my family. They are truly "the best" in every way!!!11/23...Scott Williams Automotive, and Scott Williams himself, are the greatest! They have helped me and my wife and our several cars so many times that I have lost count. We have always had fantastic service and a 100% good value, fair-and-square deal. I only wish that more businesses were as super-high quality as Scott Williams Automotive. Thank you again(!), Scott!Service: Steering & suspension repair

I have found my forever mechanic!Scott over at Williams automotive is the best! I'd taken my vehicle to 3 other mechanics before him, and never got my my problem fixed, only spent lots of money!Not only did he fix my problem, which was actually problems, plural but he has a really great attitude and is kind and patient and takes the time to explain everything to you. I definitely feel that he went above and beyond most business operators out there! It's the way it should be! And I will not go anywhere else!I'm a single parent of a disabled young child. And not being able to rely on my vehicle was a very stressful and unsettling thing to deal with. Thanks to Williams automotive, I'm able to start my car whenever I want, LOL! Just the relief of knowing it will be okay now is amazing!

The owner of Williams Automotive was very helpful in identifying the problem with my car after the accident. My insurance declined to recognize that damage. I am happy to have my fixed car again. Thank you to the Team of Williams Automotive.

My car was making a super loud squeaking noise, so I showed up around 7 am hoping to get a spot before the weekend. Not only did I run into Scott working hard before the crack of dawn, but he took my car no questions asked and also managed to fix before the end of his day!! If thats not a sign of a hardworking and excellent mechanic/businessman I don't know what is. My car runs amazing, no more squeaking down the road. I will 100% be back for my yearly car check up. You want quality service go to Willians Automotive!!!

Bottom line.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Auto emissions testing

The wonderful man who helped me at Williams Automotive popped the hood and asked me to take a look. The battery was fine.I ll be headed to Williams Automotive for future oil and maintenance for sure!!!Thank youService: General repairs & maintenance

My truck was slow starting and so I stopped by unannounced to see if Scott and his crew might be able check it out. Scott was able to make himself available right away, determined I needed a new battery, and swapped it out immediately. It was messy b/c the leads were corroded and it would have been a serious pain if I'd taken it on myself. So thankful for excellent and friendly service!

I've been going to William's for years, Scott and April have always provided the best service. They prevented me from having unnecessary maintenance/repairs after a dealership told me I would need $1,200 worth. When Scott checked my car I only needed a timing belt! I've been taking my vehicles to them every since that day. They're honest people and run their business with integrity.

Water got inside my engine after driving through a flooded street from the heavy rain. I got my car towed to William's Automotive after getting 2 recommendations from the Ventura locals (I am not familiar with the area). Robert helped save my car! I am forever grateful. They were extremely open and communicative about possible issues. They did the job quickly and did not overcharge me. Everyone else in the shop was very friendly. Thank you guys!

I needed a place to take my 2000 mustang and After being over charged and under serviced at other places, I can not afford a new one, and my car definitely has some issues with 250,000miles , Scott keeps me on the road.the first time I went to Scott was for an oil change and Scott found a small issue and fixed it for free and I instantly I got about 45 more miles to the tank then I had been. The last time I brought it in he did brakes, battery oil change and a few little things, and did a great job and quick too. But what was amazing is , that same week I got Covid and was sick and off work and quarantine for 10 days he went out of his way to help me get my car to me and offered to refund the labor cost of my bill until I was able to afford it! To top it off his first question to me while working to getting my car to me was always how are feeling? You doing ok?That was above and beyond to go this far for a customer,but Scott did!On top of that they have always been the best , honest and capable mechanics! They charge fair prices work fast, and are really good!They are the nicest caring people I ve ever encountered.You will not find a better more honest and capable place to take your car then to Scott!They are truly great mechanics, honest , professional and good people.I m grateful to have them as my mechanic! Thank you Scott and company!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Brakes, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil change

Scott did an amazing job troubleshooting my rattling issue that mostly came about from another shop. He is straight to the point and very honest on the work that needs to get done. Prices are very reasonable and won't sell you on things that don't need attention, unlike other chain shops. If you're looking for a trusted mechanic, Williams Automotive is where it's at. I'm glad I found out about this place!Service: Brakes

New to town & my 2001 Tacoma was having a hesitation issue I couldn't figure out. Scott went above & beyond what I believe most auto shops would do to diagnose & repair. Honest, professional, excellent communication are just a few words to describe my experience. I'll definitely be back as the need arises. Thanks again Scott.

Found my new mechanic! I initially went in for a spark plug replacement and had a couple of questions about a brake fluid flush and coolant replacement (both things my former auto mechanic father suggested I have done) and Scott recommended against both, saying I didn't need them yet. He showed me the levels they were at and where they needed to be for them to recommend the service. Very honest and didn't push for me to have something done that didn't need to get done. The price was extremely reasonable for the service and my car was done in under 3 hours! I even got a text when it was ready for pick up. The lady in the office and all those who have answered the phone were super pleasant to talk to. I will be recommending this place for a long, long time!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Every single time we come here for any of our vehicles (he has serviced 6 of our cars), Scott always is very honest, direct, and saves us money in comparison to other auto repair shops. I am so grateful to him and the guys here who have helped our family keep our vehicles road worthy. We all travel so much! His knowledge and professionalism goes above and beyond. Thanks Scott! April is phenomenal and very helpful too :)

Great quality service. I let Scott know the issue I was having with my vehicle. I let him know I was on tight time schedule. Dropped off the vehicle in the morning as suggested. Scott had the repair done before lunch time the same day. Diffently will be a returning customer if the need appears
