Until I started going to Auto Angel I had multiple disappointments: inaccurate diagnosis, poor quality work, poor quality parts, work not finished on time, unwillingness to explain the underlying problem or solution, items missing from my car when I got it back. Since going to Auto Angel, and its the only shop I've been to in 5 or 6 years, I've had none of these problem. Dependable diagnosis and recommendations, and consistent high quality work. No problems! There are other pluses, including friendly staff, support for community activities and support for food drives. But the bottom line is that I've never been disappointed in the quality of the work. They are the best! MEB

You get photos and detailed notes on the inspection electronically, and they also print out a list of their findings for you to have. Now for the not-so-good. The major not-good is the outrageous prices they quoted in their estimate for suggested and needed repairs. Most of the items on the list were things we could do ourselves for far less money. Some were curious -- when the key fob and interior button wouldn't open the trunk, it seems the mechanic never tried just using the manual release on the trunk itself, which works fine. Similarly, they wanted a couple hundred dollars to diagnose why the TPMS system light was flashing, but they never aired the tires up to spec or test drove the vehicle to see if the light went steady or went out. And nearly five hundred dollars to replace the battery? I'm a shade-tree mechanic from way back, and it feels insulting to be quoted exorbitant prices for things that anyone who can follow directions can do. So, if your car repairs are paid for by insurance and the adjuster approves, or if you have an unlimited car repair budget, I'm sure this shop will do a great job, and you'll love interacting with the personnel. But we have already gotten the oil changed for less than 2/3 of their quoted price, and have two quotes on some major service that would have cost literally one to two thousand dollars more at this shop, so we'll reluctantly pass on any further work there.

I c alled about an oil leak and they got me in about an hour later. The diagnosis was quick and the cost seemed a lot at first, but then I remembered it probably included the diagnosis cost.

Our family recently purchased a 2017 US-made runabout with short of 100k miles for twin 15-year-olds to learn to drive and get around town and relieve their mother of taxi duties in the long run. It needed quite a bit of work to bring it up to snuff, though the base vehicle is still solid and has a lot of life left in it. We did some of the cosmetic and easy stuff (replace sun visor, engine air filter, cabin air filter, change oil) done ourselves, got the used-car dealer to fix the front sub-frame that was bent and out of alignment), and postponed some longer-term work (brakes eventually will need new pads in the rear). But this 1.8L "interference" engine will be destroyed if the timing belt fails, and they recommend replacement every 100k miles, so we asked this shop to put replace the belt, water pump, and thermostat so the twins won't have to deal with catastrophic engine failure when on the road as new drivers. They not only did that and replaced the rear struts (leaking) with the new ones I had shipped to us, but they did it in around a day of shop time. The car was ready far sooner than we expected, and everything was in perfect order. This shop is also part of the network the used car dealer employs for its own warranty work, so the car is covered in case anything unexpected turns up in the next year. Top marks!

The previous shop I went to told me I needed to replace my front suspension and a few other things. Ron at Santa Fe Auto Tec did not charge me for a second opinion. He found that my suspension looked fine, and the clunking was from a loose CV axle nut. He tightened the nut and the clunking sound was gone. I paid what I feel is a reasonable price for 1 hour of labor - much better than what I would have paid to replace my suspension at the other shop, which would not have even solved my problem! It can be hard to find a trustworthy car mechanic but it seems to me that there are some good ones here. I would definitely recommend this shop.
