Great mechanic at Paul's. Paul is very knowledgeable and able to spot most problems very quickly. Prices are extremely reasonable as well. Highly recommended. Call in the morning his secretary, Carolyn, very kind , to make an appointment.

Pauls a beast! Hands down! I challenge you to find a better, more honest mechanic! Paul has been our go-to family mechanic and I have referred him to friends and colleagues on many occasions!

Had to bring my car in twice over the last couple of months for completely unrelated reasons. Both times it was explained in detail what needed to be done and an estimated price before they went ahead with anything. Both times my car was finished the same day I brought it in. My expectations were blown out of the water.Customer service is amazing. I will never bring my vehicle anywheres else and I recommend this place to any and everyone.

Paul is an upstanding guy and very knowledgeable. He was able to get me in quickly. He diagnosed my transmission problem quickly and helped me navigate my vehicle's warranty so that I wouldn't be taken advantage of.Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

FINALLY, I have found a meticulous, honest mechanic that I truly trust to do the most thorough work on my 10-year old vehicle. No more, no less. They test drive the car before and after service. They're great at diagnosing problems, as well as fixing them. Paul Nguyen and Downtown Automotive is now my go-to place whenever I need work done on my car.

On each and every occasion that I had taken my car to this shop, I have always found highly competent mechanics that offer very good price. I recommend this business without hesitation and without reserves.

Paul is an amazing technical savvy guy. He is my go to guy when I have car trouble. They are not fast or cheap. The do the job right and at a great value . Had a few shops guess at what was wrong before and it cost me dearly.

I was between SanAntonio and BiloxiMS, with a load of donations headed to a mission in Honduras, when my truck broke down with a terrible issue on my Ford F.150. (i was just a day ahead of a large front that was expected to drop tons of rain)Paul and Kenny were quick to identify the problem and were able to get me on the road in 2 hours, and the clothes arrived dry and on time.Carolyn got me in and out and was kind enough to check on my needs while I waited. I was expecting to stay the night and pay alot for the repair. I still probably need new brakes, but I was able to get my problems addressed and back on the road.These guys were honest and upfront with me about the Truck. That's hard to find today.I am grateful for the crew at The Downtown Automotive Shop

Paul (the owner of Downtown Auto) is an amazing mechanic. He is honest and helpful. My transmission had to be rebuilt and he did an excellent job in rebuilding the transmission. The car is running great. I moved to Lafayette in 2014 and since then Downtown Auto is my only car repair shop in Lafayette. Great service!!

I know nothing about cars but this place was recommended to me by a friend. They were kind, understanding and even talked to my family members over the phone to give them the rundown on what exactly was wrong with my car as to make me comfortable that I wasn't being taken advantage of. They practically gutted my car and sent me home with a safe and reliable vehicle! 11/10 recommend Downtown Automotive. These guys rockServices: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair

I was in a panic 2 weeks ago, but not only was the receptionist very reassuring over the phone every time we spoke, but the mechanic himself was very knowledgeable and helpful both over the phone and in person! The vehicle was inspected and worked on within the same 24 hours, and I'm very appreciative and satisfied with this repair shop!

Great work was done... I need more work but haven't gotten a call back just yet. Only a call from the guy who turned me on to the shop. I dont believe they shady doe. They seem to be good brothers.

Brought my van in weeks ago because it was shuddering during idle and had a check engine light. Brought it in and paid $600+ for various things. Got the van back and it was still shuddering and check engine light has come back on. And now they are not taking my calls. I don't understand why everyone else gave such great reviews but this place completely ripped me off.
