This is the man I was trying to find to fix my car. When you talk to Jose Lopez, you will be sure that you can trust him. My car had a couple of different leakages but he made it clear that I don't have to be worried about all of them because only one of them needed to be fixed for now, and that saved me a lot of money actually! He explains everything clearly so you can decide what to do.

Great place awesome mechanics and reasonable prices. I came to get an oil change and right when I pulled up and opened my hood Jose let me know I had a busted hose, he right away showed me what and where and asked if I would like to get it done, that as well he gave me a great price! Usually other places won’t even touch my vehicle until you pay an outrageous price just to look at the vehicle so that was nice of him VERY GREAT MAN! He also has 2 other people here working with him and they were GREAT as well! I will definitely be bringing my vehicles here from now on!

Extremely Disappointed Waste of Time and Money
I brought my vehicle into Lpez Auto Repair with two clear issues: an exhaust leak caused by a stripped hole in the flange, and a non-working A/C system for which I had already purchased a new clutch and compressor. I explained everything in detail and was quoted $350 which felt high just for the exhaust issue, but I was willing to go forward because I needed the A/C fixed. Unfortunately, the experience was a complete letdown.
For $165, all that was done was the installation of one bolt and the exhaust issue remains unresolved. Instead of repairing the stripped hole as I asked (either by drillin...Extremely Disappointed Waste of Time and Money
I brought my vehicle into Lpez Auto Repair with two clear issues: an exhaust leak caused by a stripped hole in the flange, and a non-working A/C system for which I had already purchased a new clutch and compressor. I explained everything in detail and was quoted $350 which felt high just for the exhaust issue, but I was willing to go forward because I needed the A/C fixed. Unfortunately, the experience was a complete letdown.
For $165, all that was done was the installation of one bolt and the exhaust issue remains unresolved. Instead of repairing the stripped hole as I asked (either by drilling it out or re-threading), I was simply told what I already knew: the flange hole was stripped. Worse yet, the A/C clutch and compressor I provided were never even installed. No progress, no repair just the same diagnosis I had already given them when I dropped the car off. Yet I was still charged.
This shop did the bare minimum and charged me for it. I left with the same problems I came in with and $165 lighter. I understand labor costs, but this was not labor. This felt like taking advantage of a customer who was upfront and desperate for working A/C.
I won’t be returning, and I can’t recommend this place to anyone looking for honest or thorough automotive service.
