This morning my car had about 1 inch of water pouring onto my floorboards from the dash. I pulled into JiffyLube to ask if they'd seen this before, and they offered to check under the hood for me and take off the plastic to check the AC duct. They did this even though it wasn't a routine maintenance service, and just to be HELPFUL. The manager on the floor was SO KIND. He emptied about a gallon of water for me and after clearing the clog was worried about my car drying appropriately to avoid mold and smell. He was so gracious about just wanting to help. ALSO---- While he was fixing my issue (in under 3 minutes BTW), another mechanic who was working the floor was so friendly with my new puppy and offered him treats. The vibe in the building was so light and positive, and I felt they genuinely wanted to help me. I was IN and OUT so fast, was shocked to have paid $0 and will be a forever loyal customer for all future oil changes! This place will always get my money.

I have been bringing both of my cars to Ron and his team for six years now and they are exactly what I want in an auto mechanic: incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, fair and most importantly, honest. Finding someone you can trust trust with your car is not easy. There are so many businesses where you are left wondering whether you really needed the repair you were sold or whether you were charged fairly. I have never felt that way here. There is a reason this business has been around for so long and is trusted by so many people. Ron knows what he is doing and explains things clearly. I have recommended Ron and his team to multiple people over the years and every single person I have sent their way has come back grateful for the recommendation. That says more than anything I could write.Knowledgeable, fair, honest and trustworthy. After six years and two cars, I truly cannot recommend Ron and his team enough.

Also identified my brakes were at their end of life and offered to replace. Their quote for 4 new brake pads was extremely reasonable. By 1:45 my car was done being serviced and I went back to pick it up. Easy check out. No line. Very nice staff. A complete success. Definitely will use Ashland tire and auto for all future car needs and will recommend to all my friends

I can't say enough great things about Avondale Auto Repair, Nathan, Rick and their staff…read more As a first-time customer, I came in with what I thought was a simple issue--my 2017 Toyota RAV4 key fob suddenly stopped working. I'd replaced the battery before, so I tried that again... nothing. My (very mechanically inclined) husband tried too--still nothing. That kicked off the search for a replacement, and wow--what a frustrating experience. The dealership quoted me $600 to replace and program a new key. Automotive locksmiths were all over the place--$180, $250--and the whole process felt vague and transactional, like you couldn't get a straight answer without jumping through hoops. Then I found Avondale Auto Repair through the Costco Auto Program--and everything changed. Rick answered the phone, and within seconds I felt reassured. He was straightforward, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. Instead of trying to sell me something, he explained the pros and cons--how aftermarket keys often don't last, and how they source directly from the dealer but can usually save customers about $100. No pressure. Just real, helpful information. When I came in, that same feeling continued. The shop itself is clean, bright, and welcoming--nothing like the typical auto repair environment. Nathan (Rick's brother-in-law) was at the front desk and immediately made us feel comfortable. Friendly, genuine, and incredibly helpful. Before recommending anything, he opened up my key and inspected it to confirm it wasn't just a battery issue. That alone told me everything--I wasn't being upsold. They were actually trying to help. Then Rick came back from lunch and did the same thing again, just to double check. I paid a deposit and they said they'd call once they got the key from the dealership. It took a few days. Even though they were short-staffed they week of my FOB order, Nathan handled everything with professionalism and kindness. He called three different dealerships to track down my key (since it was out of stock everywhere), coordinated the order, and made the whole process seamless. When I came back to drop off my car, even the staff helping me park were warm and courteous--it's those small touches that really stand out. We used to have a go-to repair shop nearby, but after a change in ownership, it just hasn't been the same. Now, we've found our new place. Avondale Auto Repair didn't just fix a problem--they earned our trust. And that's everything. That's how you do it, Nathan and Rick!

I found them by searching online, and I called ahead and drove in on a spare tire without an appointment. Nin and Tony were able to look at the flat tire I took out of the trunk, fix it, and put it back on my car within a half hour of my getting there. They also looked at the spare I drove in on during that time, because it was flat by the time they reinstalled the regular tire. Though the spare couldn't be repaired because of where the damage was on it, Nin referred me to a tire place he likes, and told me who to ask for by name. He also suggested I could ask that place if I can get a discount on a new spare if I trade in the old one. I don't expect to get seen so fast by a service provider, without an appointment, and then pay nothing, but that's what happened. They didn't charge me, but I gave them a tip anyway. I'm writing this 10 days after the repair, and the tire is still good as new. I'm very grateful for the service!

This led me to bringing my vehicle in when it started to make a grinding/popping noise while steering. The interesting thing was that the noise only happened after a couple minutes of driving or on a very hot and humid day. They recommended I replace the struts and I listened as I have no knowledge of cars. Sure enough the sound was not gone after an $800 repair. I took the car back to them the next day in hopes for a proper diagnoses as i'm sure I needed the struts replaced but that wasn't why I came in the first place. They made me drive around for 30 minutes to try and get the noise to happening again and thankfully it started very subtly as I needed to get back to work. The manager had both his technicians come out to look at the car and the first guy looked completely lost as to what it could be (mind you this was the guy who replaced the struts to begin with), the second guy figured the first guy installed the struts wrong. So they end up telling me they'll redo the strut installation and give the car a wheel alignment (the alignment should've been done with the initial replacement). I wait till end of day and they tell me to come pick it up, manager says they reinstalled the struts and couldn't fit the alignment in today, so I wait until the following Tuesday as that was the only time I could drop it off for an alignment. Later that day I pick it up and the manager says they did the alignment for free due to the inconvenience but it doesn't feel aligned. Low and behold, the noise is still there, after bringing it back in the manager keeps it all day and tells me "we think we found the issue and it's going to be an expensive repair" I had to specifically ask what is the repair. He says I need a rack and pinion replacement, I call BS. So I take it to another shop trusted by family and they also call BS and diagnosed the issue within 20 minutes. My control arms were worn out and needed replacing, sure enough after that repair the issue was gone. TLDR : Basically only take your vehicle here for basic maintenance, I would've paid over $1500 to not have my issue resolved.

End your worries about mechanics ripping you off. North Park operates with a level of integrity that is otherwise unheard of in the industry.

Now Tom treats us with the same consideration and respect. Pricing remains very fair, and they get things done as quickly as possible.

The dealership charged me $550 for an oil change, while Autohaus would have performed the same service for approximately $250. I also had my front and rear brakes replaced, along with an alignment, and saved well over $2,000 compared to the dealership's estimate. Gary and his team of highly skilled technicians did an outstanding job. Their expertise, honesty, attention to detail, and fair pricing are exactly what you hope to find when servicing a high-end foreign vehicle. The work was completed professionally, on time, and with excellent communication throughout the process. It is refreshing to find an independent shop that delivers dealership-quality service at a fraction of the cost. I trust Autohaus completely with my Porsche and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional service on European luxury vehicles. Five stars are not enough. Thank you, Gary and the entire Autohaus team, for a truly outstanding experience!
