I first met Chad at AA Automotive right before we were leaving on a long road trip when our cruise…read morecontrol suddenly stopped working. Chad diagnosed the issue and discovered that Ford had removed the original switch and never replaced it. He even had us run down to a local junkyard to pick up a working switch, and then installed it for us at no charge so we could enjoy our vacation. Fast forward 15 years, and Chad has serviced all of our cars and trucks, as well as my daughter's vehicles. He's an excellent mechanic, incredibly honest, and someone you can truly trust. His wife handles scheduling, and she is just as friendly and helpful. I'm very glad we found Chad and AA Automotive. They have taken outstanding care of our vehicles over the years, and I highly recommend them.

When I went to the dealer, they quoted really high price and added a bunch of unnecessary services. I was able to get an estimate from Vuong which was much more affordable, and it was great to be able to text back and forth to make sure I'm only getting the services I really needed. It was also super easy to make an appointment. They were able to get me in and out in the same day even with all the difference things being done to my car. It was also really convenient that they have after hours dropoff available. You just park your car in their lot, and they have a safe place to drop off your keys. This was helpful because I had some work meetings I had to take in the morning at the time they opened, so I was able to go in before they opened and drop off my car. Highly recommend Vuong and his team if you're in need of any maintenance or repairs for your car!

I did a detailed inspection of my car at my dealership two days ago. I have been using this…read moredealership for car maintenance work for over 10 years. They suggested various work to be done, including replacing front brake pads and rotors, which costed too much that I could not afford. I then decided to check with other mechanics. Today, I brought my car to Alhambra Auto, which is close to my home, to replace the brake pads and rotors as suggested by the dealership. Alhambra quoted a price that was more reasonable and I then left my car there for the work. To my surprise, Alhambra called me later informing me that all the front and rear brake were in good shape and no need to be replaced. They let me take the car back without even charging me inspection fee. They could have just replaced the brake pads and rotors and earned the repair fee, but they chose to honestly inform me of the actual condition of my car. My thumb up for this honest business. I shall do my future car repair work at this auto center instead of my dealership, which appears to be dishonest.

The quote that they gave me was spot on; didn't try to charge for "additional repairs;" and the car was ready before the promised time. The guys here were nice, respectful, honest. I cannot more highly recommend this establishment!

Alex is humble, honest, and someone you immediately recognize as a person of integrity. His years of experience are evident when you see him work, and he's more than willing to share his knowledge and offer advice if you have questions. I reached out to him for an AC compressor service on my daughter's car. He provided a very reasonable quote, was able to complete the job the same day, and used OEM parts as promised. The work was done on time and with great attention to detail. If your vehicle needs service, give Alex a try--you won't regret it. I'll definitely be coming back. Thanks again, Alex, for the excellent experience and great conversation!

No worries Alex agreed to obtain the the correct parts and the agreed quote changed but all for the better. Alex did a great job on my car. Will start to take my vehicle here often.
