In total for a (slightly used but legal and legit) catalytic converter, installation, and smog test it was only $1924.22! David (I think it may have been Dani... either way, everyone I interacted with was incredible) took the time to answer all of my questions without ever making me feel pressured. Even after giving me the initial quote, I was able to text with follow-up questions, and they were always patient, honest, and responsive. The service itself was unbelievable. They picked up my car while I was at work (I gave them the location to where I parked and left the keys in the tire), replaced my catalytic converter, cleared the check engine code, completed the smog test, and even picked me up after work when everything was finished all in the same day! What really blew me away was that they even fixed my A/C at no extra charge. He just texted saying "I have a surprise for you" lol. It was really so sweet. I know nothing abt cars so I was always worried that other places were gunna scam me in some way and throughout the entire process, they were just so wonderful in helping my nerves and never tried to upsell me or take advantage of me. They were transparent, professional, and genuinely cared about getting me back on the road. If you own a Prius or any hybrid, do yourself a favor and come here first. I will be bringing all of my future business here, and I'll be recommending them to all of my friends and family. 10/10 service. Honest pricing, outstanding communication, and some of the best customer service I've experienced. Thank you so much!

My Lexus hybrid was having what I thought, and was told, was a rack-and-pinon issue. I received a couple of quotes elsewhere that were more then $2000. On a recommendation from my friend Nick, I checked out The Auto House. Alex and family are easy to connect with and very experienced on all cars. I was able to get an accurate diagnosis of my car, and to my pleasant surprise, it was a less expensive uni joint in the steering column. With the savings, I was able to get more work done. Their shop is always busy because they have a great following. Give them a call, ask for Alex, and get your car repaired.

Totally screwed me out of my 1100 and misdiagnosed my vehicle , as well as did not put in a new…read morepart as stated. Was referred to this dump by a freind and contacted a Mr. Julio concerning my Mercedes "NOT GOING INTO GEAR". I was told that it was my STARTER . I disagreed with this diagnosis as my car had previously started just fine and that my issue was that my car WOULD start but NOT go into gear and that I had another transmission put on to address my gear problem ( I also informed JULIO via text that the newly installed TRANSMISSION needed to have 4-6 bolts placed back on it as well and that I was leaving the BOLTS in a bag inside the car so that JULIO can put them on the transmission).. Mr. Julio and I went back and forth via text concerning whether or not it was my starter or the PROBLEM I HAD DESCRIBED TO HIM and I finally just agreed to allow Mr. Julio and his team to put a ALLEGED NEW STARTER ON .. However, I had brought in a used starter trying to cut my cost but I was INFORMED that Julio and his team had ordered a NEW starter and that it was already installed so why would I take the NEW ONE OFF and put my used one on?? It would end up just costing me more. So I agreed to just leave the alleged NEW starter on .. I was called to pick up my car and was very shocked to see tons of smoke coming from my tail pipes. One could not drive BEHIND me if I had decided to drive it was that much smoke!! My car was not even drivable it felt limp and lifeless . Whatever the hell Julio and his team did , completely destroyed SOMETHING ELSE!! I addressed my concerns about this with JULIO and he said he did not know the cause and insinuated that my vehicle was ALREADY in that condition !!! I was at a loss for words ! I inquired as to whether the smoke was in relation to the BOLTS not being placed BACK onto the Transmission as I had asked and was told they would be. JULIO responded " I think my guy put OUR OWN bolts on the transmission ". This proved to be totally false !!! These guys are fraudsters and not real mechanics.. Stole 1,100 dollars from me for fake work and totally screwed up my car !!! I sent my car to another mechanic and CONFIRMED that "THERE WAS NO NEW STARTER PUT ON MY CAR AND THE BOLTS WERE INDEED NOT ON THE TRANSMISSION ..the STARTER WAS USED AND OLD. " I'm an attaching text between Julio and myself and text from the MECHANIC that informed me of the old starter and bolts that had NOT been placed back on my transmission as Julio had stated he would do...,TOTAL FRAUD AND UNETHICAL BUSINESS do not take your vehicle there.

Audi quoted…read moreme an insane price for these two issues(thousands of $) so I decided to shop around for a foreign mechanic here on yelp. I got a response back in less than an hour from mechanics federal. I let them know in detail what I was needing and I was given a very reasonable estimate in a timely manner. In all transparency, I am a very weary customer when it comes to mechanics and anything car related. I decided to do the research on this company and not much turned up so I decided to take a chance. Chuck showed up for my appointment that we scheduled for the next day and noticed that I accidentally gave him the wrong information about my vehicle(so sorry). He went above and beyond to get the right parts for my vehicle which resulted in him having to leave to get different parts. He came back to my residence and replaced my brakes & notified me that my cv boot was toast and I should replace the entire axel to be safe. I'm here to tell anyone thinking about using this business for their next car service that not only is this company honest and reliable but the customer service goes above and beyond. You simply can't beat your mechanic coming to you. They are up and coming and I urge you to take that chance with them as well. Please make sure to leave a nice review for great companies like this one to help spread the word !
