I went back a few weeks later to get my shocks switched out. I really respected the way this shop conducted business and I didn't get the feeling that they were trying to add or charge me for unnecessary things. Omar had great customer service skills and he was quick to communicate with me if a part came in or if the job was finished. This will definitely be my go to auto shop.

I found Value Auto Repair on Yelp because I wanted a shop I could actually trust, especially…read moreknowing how common it is for mechanics to upsell unnecessary services. After reading the reviews, I decided to give them a shot, and I'm glad I did because they lived up to the hype. Alex was great to work with. He took the time to go over everything with me, recommended what actually needed attention, and never pressured me into anything extra. What really stood out was how honest he was--some of the issues I was worried about turned out not to be problems at all, and he made sure to explain that clearly instead of trying to turn it into a sale. It's not easy finding a mechanic you can trust, but this shop definitely earned mine. If you're looking for a straightforward, no-pressure auto repair experience, I'd highly recommend Value Auto Repair.

The check engine light was on so we couldn't smog it. Took it up our mechanic in Santee and they found a problem with the catalytic converter. They said one side was bad and recommended Hanson's to get it fixed. I called Hanson's and was able to get an appointment for the next day. While the car was there they found another problem that was an inexpensive fix. They were able to install the cat and make the other fix the same day. Overall I am very impressed with the work, service, and advice/direction I received from Hanson's.

1 Star - Would Not Recommend…read more I went to Ed Hanson's Muffler for a simple resonator/muffler delete, basic exhaust work. This shop used to have a solid reputation, which is the only reason I chose it. Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be the case. I arrived when they opened and clearly explained that I did not want to be stuck there all day. I don't live close by, and I needed to pick up my daughter from school later. I specifically told them I was completely fine dropping the car off and coming back once it was finished if the job was going to take a while. They laughed and said that wouldn't be necessary, and that they'd be in trouble if a job like this took that long, implying it would be done quickly. Instead, the work dragged on for most of the day. I was repeatedly told it was "almost done," which kept me waiting there instead of leaving. Had they been honest upfront, I would have left and returned later without any issue. During this time, the employee working on the car moved extremely slowly, frequently stopping to socialize, smoke, eat, and take extended breaks. There was no sense of urgency and no respect for my time. Because of this, I nearly ended up late picking up my daughter from school, which was exactly what I was trying to avoid by offering to drop the car off in the first place. To make matters worse, the final result was disappointing. The piping looks sloppy and unprofessional, like basic budget muffler work, yet the price was unreasonably high for the quality delivered. Ed Hanson's may have been a respectable shop at one point, but based on my experience and many others now a days, that standard is no longer there. Don't waste your hard-earned money or your time.
