They really treat you like family especially when it comes time pay. Their prices are far lower that anyone else in this area. Thank you Mike and Thomas for being so honest, reliable, professional, and getting my vehicle repaired so quick. While at your shop, it was easy to see that you make all your customers your top priority while safely and quickly repairing my vehicle. Far more advanced, knowledgeable, friendly, and way less expensive than anywhere in Humboldt. With costs of living these days, I thought I'd never get my Chevy fixed. When I spoke with Mike for the first time, he helped me not only get my vehicle towed to his shop, order parts, and make the repairs, he was able work with me until payday. Truly one of a kind experience and hands down the best around. Keep it up guys, much apricated Craig M.

I travel for business more than 160 days each year. So, when my car broke down in McKinleyville,…read morejust before 2 big days of training/consulting, I was feeling some serious anxiety. A referral from a friend sent me to Central Avenue Service Center where Randy took great care of me. He worked out the towing while I was doing training, had the diagnosis ready by lunch time, and had my car ready that evening. And the price... while they could have gouged me like some shops do with out-of-towners who are unlikely to be repeat customers, they came in well below what I expected! Central Avenue Service Center easily gets a 5-star rating for customer service, repair work and price! I would recommend them without reservation to friends and colleagues... and You.

We have only lived in Humboldt for 3.5 years and luckily haven't had too many problems with our…read more2014 Equinox, but when we have, we have used Central Avenue Service Center. Unfortunately, we will no longer be using their services due to recently taking our car in not once, but twice for the same issue. Almost $900 later, the issue still remains which means we essentially threw our money down the drain. Literally the problem recurred the next day and is still happening. I've never had an issue before where a mechanic supposedly fixes a problem....yet the problem remains. Maybe I have been lucky? Anyway, we will be using a new mechanic from now on. Too bad! An offer of at least a partial refund would have been nice. All we got was an apology; which doesn't go too far these days. Oh well.

I've only used the service department. I have a Chevrolet Volt which a lot of service centers and…read moreindependent mechanics won't touch because of the certifications and the high voltage traction battery. This place is about as good as I could hope for given my lack of options. In one instance, I tried to use a different place and they wanted to keep charging me for diagnostic and kept it for days. I took the car away from there and called this place in McKinleyville. They said they'd call me back and when they did call me back, they already knew what might be wrong. I dropped the car off and they fixed it the next day. I know these places change staff. This review is about the current situation as of May 2023. They have a pretty good service center right now.

I would NEVER recommend this business. My roadside assistance notified me that A&M responded to the…read moretow request and would be providing the service needed with an ETA. They never showed. I waited for 2 hours after the 1 hour eta window, for total waiting time of 5 hours. The next day I tried again, and again, the same thing happened. On the next day, the driver told me to tell him when I was ready, which I did, of which he said it was too late. The next day he said the same, but another tow company towed it because it was on the street in non-working status. I did know this was coming, not the exact day/time, which is why I requested the service on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday......until the city towed it on Thursday between 3:30 - 5:00 pm, the only time during the entire week, I left my house. The cost for that towing is $440 plus $100 city fee. Of which I don't have. Now, the clock is ticking $50/day. Next week, when I'm paid, the bill will be $350 more. Total expected bill - $890, that is my water bill, energy bill, food bill, trash bill... ALL BECAUSE THIS BUSINESS RESPONDED TO THE TOW REQUEST AND DIDN'T SHOW! They shouldn't have taken the request, if they couldn't provide the service. I'M ENRAGED. THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I would give them a negative point rating if I could. I will be taking them to small claims court.
