But then last month, it happened twice in three weeks--first time was my old radiator finally giving out, and the second time was a brake issue. Both times were terrible timing, and I really needed my car back fast. Even without an appointment, they fit me in, got the parts quickly, and had me back on the road way faster than I expected. That kind of service under pressure is rare. I was so grateful that they understood the predicament I was in and they, as per usual, took great care of me. Bottom line: I've always felt totally comfortable with the work they do, and it's always a pleasure dealing with everyone there. Ferrell's is the real deal. I greatly appreciate them and their work as well as their work ethics. J Lynn

I called in a panic with only about 45 minutes before I absolutely had to leave and asked if there was any chance they could work a miracle. They got my Jeep in immediately, diagnosed the issue as worn spark plugs, completed the repair, and had me back on the road in time. They truly saved the entire weekend. On top of the incredible service, everyone was so kind, reassuring, and personable during what could have been a really stressful situation. A huge thank you to Jesse and Nancy for going above and beyond. I can't recommend them enough!

Highly highly recommend & will be telling everyone I know to take their vehicles there!!

Jonny Prius & EV Repair- Negligence Cost Me an Engine…read moreRating: I am writing this to warn others--especially women--about the costly negligence I experienced at this shop. My car was towed here in November for overheating. I paid $565 for what I was told were the necessary repairs. However, the car overheated again almost immediately because the original problem was never actually fixed. Upon inspection, it appeared the thermostat had never been replaced. Because the shop failed to perform the initial repair correctly, my engine was severely damaged and completely failed, requiring a full engine replacement that cost thousands of dollars. When I went back, the owner tried to quote me $5,000 for a new engine to fix the damage his own negligence caused. I filed a formal complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). Following their investigation, the owner was forced to refund my $565 because he could not produce a single receipt or proof of what work he had supposedly done the first time. I ended up taking my car elsewhere to have the engine replaced. Do not take your vehicle here. Their lack of transparency and failure to perform basic repairs resulted in major mechanical failure for my car.

Not only was the service quick and detailed, Jonny and his team were incredibly kind. I was given a car to be able to go home and when my car was finished he didn't let me pay for the service they did! Which included the diagnostic, oil change, a fair quote on fixes, and advice on what to do now. I am extremely grateful I found the shop and would recommend to anyone.

But today I arrived and waited until 835 and asked why my car is still out front and not being worked on. Well the alignment guy comes in at 845. So it would have helped a lot of I was told that when I made the appointment. I had 2 little boys with me waiting, ages 5 and 8. But thankfully the guy showed up and at 847 my car was driven into the work bay. I did have 1 alignment adjustment needed and made. Right front toe was off. Brakes were good. So all in all I was pleased. I do really miss the guys I knew for decades at Tire Pros and the change makes me a little sad.

Tommy's Auto is the best. Have been taking my fleet of cars and truck to him for everything. He listens to your concerns to help pinpoint the problem. He thinks outside the box to find the problem. You don't want to spend $800.00 on a sensor that the code reader says is wrong, when he finds out it was mice that chewed through some wiring. He gets the job done right and saves you money. Thanks Tommy read more

I can't believe that I've lived in Paso/Atascadero since 2012 and it took our family this long to find them. Both Julie and Corey (not sure on spelling) are sincere, reasonably priced and just easy going people. A local tire shop was changing my oil recently and said that I needed to replace my valve cover gasket because it was leaking AND they also said we needed to replace the drive belt. I thanked them for their notification and asked them to please just change the oil. I then contacted Julie at SMELTZER and she was able to schedule me in to see her hubby for a second opinion. My husband and I took our car to have Corey look at it. He looked at the engine and found nothing wrong with it. I was shocked by two things, shocked by his honesty when most other mechanics would tell you what best benefits their pocket books- but I was more shocked that a local tire shop in Paso Robles that we have trusted for many many years would try to take advantage of their customers like that. They have lost a customer and SMELTZER has earned a customer for life. Thank you for being a good human and not seeing people as dollar signs Mr & Mrs Smeltzer. I am also a local small business owner and I believe in earning my $$ honestly and with integrity. It's good to know that integrity still exists in this small town, thank you!

Unfortunately, my "Check Engine" light went on 4 days before my trip and I was hesitant to take my 4Runner or rent a car for 4 days so I took my car to A-Town Automotive because of a recommendation by a fellow Toyota owner I met in the Trader Joe's parking lot. I live on a limited income and feared that it was going to be a major repair. When I got there, the owner used a computer device that could diagnose the problem and discovered that it was not a major problem so I drove it down to LA and back without any problems. I had an appointment the morning after I returned and he had it fixed 90 minutes after my appointment. To my surprise, he charged me his regular hourly labor fee and the cost of the part that was $2.50. He even repaired the clock on my dashboard that hasn't worked since I bought it. Not only is he a knowledgeable mechanic but is honest and that is a rare quality with auto mechanics in Atascadero.
