I looked up local repair shops and saw Average Joe had great reviews. I called ahead and Joe pretty much had it figured out before my son even got his car there. He fixed it in no time and charged what I thought was a fair price. If my son has any other issues with his car while he's at school, I'm definitely sending him back to Average Joe.

Have taken my old European car there, esp. after the dealer told me it "wasn't leaking coolant"…read morealthough I saw coolant drips on the driveway, and had to keep adding coolant. Twice at the dealer, and they basically told me there wasn't a problem. Peter B worked on it, and said the issue is the hose size -- metric vs. US. If someone uses a US hose, it will be not be exactly right, and will leak once the car heats up and everything is at pressure. No more problems after Peter B worked on it. Also took my older Camry there, and asked about my newer Camry. Peter B (ie, the phone staff) was upfront about things they can work on, and things they don't. They are very busy, and I prefer to know this information before booking an appointment for 6 weeks in the future. So, I think is a time saver to have a thorough discussion on the phone at Peter B. (I hate these webforms dealers are using now -- there's a) no place to record specific issues, they basically only want a simple job, like a 40k checkover, etc. and b) dealer service intake staff never read the webform anyway. So what's the point?) The phone staff at Peter B is very knowledgeable, too.

They are trustworthy, provide informed choice, and make sure things are done right w/o pressuring for unnecessary repairs. Patrick, Julie, Jeremy all tell it like it is--give honest opinions about what needs to be addressed in the immediate future and what can wait, how to tell when it's time to address longer-term issues, offer budget-friendly, creative options when able, etc. Have also worked me into a busy schedule when issues were serious and/or to accommodate my work schedule. Pricing is competitive. Personable, real people. Offered me lunch one day when I was waiting and someone dropped off a meal for the crew. Overall, a solid small business--I definitely recommend!
