Went here for lowering springs and had to take it back because when I turned the wheel it would make noise.they said we don't know what that could be maybe your axle?it never made that sound before and the car had 27k miles.so I took it back without finding the problem so I was sent on my way with popping noises coming from struts.later changed suspension and noises went away it was not my axle.then I took car in for intake and they installed correctly but the guys kept flooring my pedal listening to intake over and over was not happy.also after installing lost grommets that go to my engine cover and I had to go to honda which isn't a big deal.3 stars because they were reasonable price but not the result I wanted.hard to find good help. read more

I've been a loyal customer for about 5-6 years now actually! He is the ONLY mechanic I TRUST, he is very thorough with his work and very PROFESSIONAL. For all the years I've been doing business with him was for his QUALITY work! Ethil and his staff make my car repair experience stress free because I know everything is going to be done right. I really appreciate all Respect Auto Works has done for me, thank you! read more

Within the first 5 minutes of interacting with the guys at respect auto works i knew I was in the right place. Some shops will talk to you like your stupid, try and get you in and out and not spend much time with you or that they dont have to earn your business. Not here. Everyone was very welcoming and interested in my car, asking questions about the build. It was very welcoming. I brought them up to speed on the issues I was having and the owner was able to give me multiple options for fixing the issue. Very knowledgeable and great customer service. I went in for just a diagnostic, and ended up getting a full tour of the facility. I was shown engine's being built, along with the machine shop side of things. If you're looking for a local shop to spend money with, that will grow along with your build, give them a shot. In house close decking, fire rings, you name it they're working on it. I love my IAG performance and M45 build but I feel so detached from the builder. I think my next build i will be able to be alot closer intouch with the process at hand and im really interested in that. read more

I've been to a few shops around town and hands down Respect Auto Works is the best.! It is an amazing shop that truly takes pride in their work. Ethil, the owner, makes sure you understand everything that you are getting done. Being a girl, going into shops I can get taken advantage of and told to pay ridiculous amounts for things that don't necessarily need to be fixed. Ethil doesn't take advantage of you, your money or your time, it's not about the quick buck for him and his crew. The name suits them well they are very well respected and they treat you in the same manner. I recently got my Subaru WRX tuned at their shop, and wow I finally feel what my car should feel like. I've had my car tuned once before and it was nothing compared to what Respect Auto Works did for me! I'm glad I have a shop I can fully trust to take care of my baby! If you were like me and are in desperate need of a good trusted mechanic/tuner I definitely recommend Respect Auto Works! You won't be disappointed! read more

I have waited a few weeks to post my review, for I wanted to put some hwy miles on my 1998 Honda CRV, with the replaced engine from REDCO. The short story is Respect Auto Repair did a fabulous job in changing out the engine. I must say that they have my full "Respect" and gladly recommend them to all. They spent the time with me to explain the options, gave me sound advice, great communication skills, test drive vehicle, cleaned it inside and out ! Marvelous work and Ethil has a kewl garage and team mates ! Ten stars to Respect Auto ********** read more

Only place i would ever take my S2k to get anywork done only ethil and his guys can work on my car i'd never take it to a dealer or anywhere else due to the fact that none of them can compete with respect auto works. read more

Can not say enough great things regarding Ethel and his crew. Honest, detailed and extraordinary at their service level. And open late! read more

Just recently had a Major repair done to my vehicle (clutch kit replacement). Ethil and his team definitely diagnosed the problem then offered me different logical options to take and advised me on the best option that suited my immediate needs. This organization/shop/company definitely goes above and beyond the normal etiquette of any other automotive repair shop in the area. Ethil and his Team are now one out of the 3 shops that I nost definitely trust and will go to in the Country. Thanks much guys! read more

It's too bad the maximum stars allowed is only 5. This shop definitely deserves a 10! I have gotten over 20+ personal cars and motorcycles repaired and worked on by Ethil and have never been disappointed. The time and effort he puts into your vehicle's repair/modification, the thorough explanation for each diagnosis, and the overall atmosphere of your car will be in "good hands" definitely earned my respect. It's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic these days and am glad Respect Auto Works is around. read more

There is a reason why Respect Auto Works has high ratings on Yelp and why Ethil's shop is always busy. People will wait to get their cars repaired because they know that their automotive issues will be resolved and taken care of. Ethil cares about his customers as much as the cars he works on. It is definitely hard to find an honest, hard working mechanic, with affordable pricing. I brought my car in for a check engine light, tune-up and timing belt replacement. He took care of all those issues and now my car runs as good as new. I will definitely come back for all my automotive repairs. Thanks Ethil! read more

Ethil does excellent work. He knows his craft and doesn't try to rip you off. He is not the type to tag on additional/unnecessary repairs and overcharge. His prices are the best in the area while still providing top notch service in a timely manner. I live in the bay area but trust his hands only to work on my 2012 Subaru Legacy. From maintenance to repairs to custom work, he's the man to see. I cannot say enough good things about this shop. read more

I have always been particular when it comes to going to shops for tunes or for work on my vehicle. I'm definitely one to do most the work myself or my husband. I got referred to respect from a friend and have had nothing but positive results. They answered every single question and concern I've ever had, they have a great way of making you feel completely welcome. For me it's not just about tuning its also about the tuners, I have found that all the people that work there love there Job and it shows. To me it makes the biggest difference , they want you to succeed and that's whats important. It's hard to trust a lot of shops out there bc most of them are scandalous but these guys aren't one of them. I havent taken my car anywhere else ! Tunes and mechanical skills are beyond average. I appreciate everything they do for me in such short time of knowing them. The vibe is great, customer service is great, tunes are great, they deserve way more than 5 stars. read more

The shop is in a building that works next to another company. It was a little confusing where to turn into but it's not a problem because the crew members with the other company just simply tell you where to go. I went to respect auto works because I was recommended by a friend because they mostly work on Subaru's and I was in need for a timing belt and transmission fluid change. I arrived and I was treated nicely by the most wonder of staff and I provided them with my parts so I would only pay the installment fee. All said and done it only took half a day and the price was worth it because they don't only make sure everything is working and on right. They cleaned and degreased my engine and it looks like new. I would definitely come here again for future work and I would recommend this place. P.s- they know a lot about Subaru's and probably other Japanese cars with a little of some other cars. There is a reason why it's called respect auto works. Thank You!!! read more

I've taken all my cars to Ethil and he always goes above and beyond. Hands down the best shop in the area.

My car intermittently would not start during my visit in Modesto, 63 miles away from where I live. P1361 and P1362 codes were coming up on my 2001 Honda Civic LX. I was having trouble getting a tow in a timely manner at 6:00. I called Respect Auto Works to see if they could take a look at my vehicle this late. Although closing time was 6, the manager said they would take a look if I could get there by 7. I got a tow there at 7:20 p.m. The manager diagnosed a sensor issue, the radiator hose not being attached from a head gasket job at another shop, and the absence of silicon to seal the front valve cover from the other shop. The manager stayed there until 9 to get the work done so I could go home from my trip on time and without trouble. I appreciate the manager having gone out of his way to help me. I strongly recommend giving the shop's services a chance. It was a real life saver for me. read more

I have been to many auto shops and being a female I'm always getting screwed by incorrect diagnosis and expensive. My SUV was not turning on right I was told by others it might be the starter or alternator. Ethil gave a proper diagnosis he explained everything in detail to what he was doing and come to find out the battery was what needed to be replaced. What was more comforting was when I told Oriley staff what Respect Auto told me, and without hesitation it was replaced and said Ethil is a trusted Mechanic! I will be using him in the near future and highly recommend his services! read more

All the guys on the team are professional, knowledgable, efficient, genuine, and you can definitely trust your vehicle will be in good hands. Highly recommend :) Thanks guys read more

The best, honest and reliable auto repair ever. Excellent customer service and very friendly. You have to come here to believe it!!

This is probably the best, most reliable shop in the whole valley. WHERE to start. So far, Ethil and his team have worked on two of my cars. My Mitsubishi Eclipse was running horribly and had a weird idle. They looked over the car and immediately noticed one of the balancing rods not in place, they fixed the issue and were extremely explanatory and helped me understand the issue. That was only the start of their help. My second car was a Subaru WRX. What can I say, these guys are the GO TO GUYS when I comes to any Subaru WRX, whether it's rebuilding, adding modifications, Wiring anything, fixing, or tuning the car, they are literally the best around. Stan the man will tune any car and make it a BEAST. One of the key words that would best describe them is CONSISTENT!!! I had a swap put in, and I've never felt so much power and happiness from driving my car. They are hands down the best mechanics in the 209, if not further, and the friendly atmosphere is just a plus. Ethil, stan, Rendell, Henry and Romeo and now little Thor, are the coolest guys around, and it's an added benefit they'll fix up ANY issue you may possibly have on your car. Highly recommend them, don't waste your time going anywhere else, when they're the best of the best!!!! Thanks a bunch gentleman. read more
