Alex Auto Repair

I come here often when i cant work on my car or if the project is too much for me to do. Every time they have provided high quality work without the BS. I am very mechanically inclined and sometimes dont have time to work on my cars. I can tell when mechanics BS. Alex auto repair isnt one of those shops. They have done excellent and honest work on my cars before, and i have no doubts in returning to them in the future.

I’m giving this place 5-​stars because the price is just too good!
I had 2 balled rear tires and I needed to switch them out with the brand new tires I just bought.
They mounted the tires (making sure to take out my tire pressure sensors so it doesn’t get damaged), balanced the tires, rotated my tires and even gave me 2 new lug nuts bc I was missing some!
The end price was $ 20. Yes, I said $ 20. That’s insane!!! I ended up giving them $ 30 and went on my merry wayyyyy!!! Awesome.

I use to be very happy here until they got this new mechanic I forgot his name but he wear glasses and calls all the shots. I been going here for 18 years but today was the final last time as of 11÷4÷15 this guy is very rude and didn’t fix my car right twice the really nice person I thought was Alex but when I explain how dishonest this guy is and don’t take pride in his work he totally took his side. After I been going there for so long this just isn’t right I highly recommend anybody that goes there to watch out for this it’s unfair.
This place was once a very good place until the new hire on one guy that doesn’t take pride in his work.

My boyfriend and I took our vehicles to Alex Auto in the morning. I needed an oil change and boyfriend needed a smog check. Within minutes of arriving, Phuong pulled my vehicle in bay, while calling guy that does smog check. Within minutes of call, the guy arrived and immediately performed smog check. I don’t know for certain, but I think we were in and out in less than 30 minutes for sure. They were very nice, quick and charged reasonable fee.

The best place to come to helpful workers got oil change done here $ 25 for a Honda, brake pads good quality & next time tires for $ 80 each good compared to any other place there prices are great here.

This place is amazing very honest and kind people Alex is a very nice guy. Everyone should come here they do my work fast and I never had a problem :)

They are a family friendly place environment. My parents have been coming here for years and getting their cars fixed here. The mechanics here are very open and easygoing so feel free to talk to them whenever you want. They are hardworkers and deserve to be recognized by their talents. It’s been a bit alow for them recently so come on in and refer some of your friends to come to them with a great deal and service for your car.

This is a small family owned auto repair shop and it is the best of the best ;). My dad introduced me to this place and I have been coming back here since. The owner is one GENUINE guy. super nice and honest. I totally adore him!
Service is great! The mechanics are awesome. they know what they’re doing! Totally trust these guys to service my car:)
Price is reasonable!!!
Highly recommend this place!!!

came back to Alex auto center.
new brakes with dealer pads/​parts
they cut the rotors smooth
no wait and quick
mechanics were very knowledgeable and did a solid job
priced very well, $ 130 here vs $ 220 at dealership
I trust these guys to do a good job with top quality dealer parts with a fair price, without trying to up sell me on unnecessary car work
sending all my family/​friends here

Initially, I came here because Costco across the street referred me. Apparently Costco doesn’t do car repairs only tire repairs. My car was making a noise and I drove up to the auto repair shop.
There was a putter noise coming from the engine and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. Alex took my car out for a spin and came back. His other mechanic friends came over and pinpointed the noise coming from the engine. The spark plug was loose and was causing the noise. He rescrewed the spark plug in. No more sound. Yay! He didn’t charge me but he did warn me to change my timing belt since it’s been awhile.

i recently had my car repaired here. the lead mechanic harvey was really helpful! he was upfrint with everything and didn’t try to upsell me on unecessary repairs (i knew was wrong already). the only critique would be that he sold me a used tire that blew the next week :-/​
but otherwise, fair pricing and i may go back.

going here for years, honest work and low prices

I highly recommend this auto repair shop!
UPDATE:
I got my car’s front struts replaced yesterday by Phuong! It was something he said I can replace later if I want. He said he didn’t want to take so much money at once when I first went to Alex auto.
When I went in the morning, I was greeted and remembered by where I am from and what I came in for last time by one of the people working there (I’m guessing it’s the manager?).
What amazed me was the speed Phuong replaced the struts. Within a hour, it was done! With test run and everything. I was impressed. My car runs so much smoother now.
Go there for the quality, speed and friendliness. I will keep going back to them as long as I’m in the area!
6÷29÷14:
I got my car repaired at Alex and the price was very reasonable. You can double check the prices given by them on repair pal and compare it to national average. It’s probably the best price you’ll get around here.
Phuong is the mechanic that helped me out and is a very nice guy. He will let you know what he recommends getting fixed and quickly finds out if there really is something wrong with your car. I’ve paid a couple hundreds less just by going to this place compared to the first auto shop I brought my car to. I could definitely feel the difference driving my used car after the repair. I’ll be going back to them again in the future.

The mechanics are really helpful there.
My car didn’t pass the smog check and a friend recommended me to go here for a check up. They told me that there was no reason for the smog check to fail my car after reading the report and helped me find a smog check station that they trusted.
So big thanks to them and the people at the 2^nd smog check. I was finally able to transfer and own the car! :)
Unfortunately, I cannot comment about their repair services but judging from how they tried their best to help, I believe they will at least be honest about what you need for your car.

My dad always bring his cars here when he needs work done and I can see why. Alex is great he is friendly and honest. I have brought my car here a couple of times and Alex always takes care of me. Im pretty big on doing my own repairs but when i can’t do something I come see alex. Fast, friendly, helpful honest service.

if you need car fix. you have to come here and asking for Alex. He is honest and help you out some what you need. I have come the other auto is est me for fix my car and said need many thing, but when I come to Alex auto repairs he just take car in and check for me, he told my car just need oil change and turn up that is. it take for an hour to done the job. I am hightly refer all my friend to come here.

Paprik– only has two reviews… And gave this place 1 star. I wonder why. Anyways. This place is cool. The manager Chu Phuong, is so honest and knows what’s best for you. If he doesn’t feel you need to do something he’ll tell you you don’t need it. They don’t rip you off. These guys have worked here for a very long time and are nice too. It’s hard to find an honest mechanic these days. Try them out. You won’t be disappointed.

DON’T GO HERE
Charged me $ 300 for a $ 100 part. Also charged me for work they didn’t do.
Avoid this thief

Don’t Waste your time and money to go somewhere else. Save yourself the drama and rip offs.
I have a 2005 Honda Element that I took to the Honda dealership, and different mechanic shops. They all made me feel like I need to buy a new car, and came up with tremendous estimates to fix the car. A friend recommended Alex Auto Repair to me, and I fixed everything that needed to be fixed for $ 560.00 including smog check. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone for an Honest, Fast, and Decent Prices.

Alex is a really really really nice guy. He is old and highly customer oriented. He tells you exactly what your car needs while other auto repair places are always circuitous and try to make things sound so severe and complicated to female customers like myself.
Here, you will get what you come for and a nice customer service.

My best friend Jaemes V is usually the only one to work on my abused car, but when it came to a problem that had to be handled in an auto shop, he would only recommend the best for my car’s needs.
We brought it in on a Saturday morning of last weekend (Labor day weekend). The mechanic said he’d work on it & that I should come pick it up no later than 4pm that same day.
When I came back to pick it up, he informed us of the problem with my car & how he fixed it. A bolt on the alternator/​engine was completely loose and its thread was completely chewed out because of the loose bolt constantly jamming back in and out of it, which was responsible for the gnarly rattling noise every time I’d take my car out for the past week. So he had to take everything out, re-​drill a new thread and screw the bolt back in. Not only did he do this, but he checked out everything else under my hood and assured me that everything was working properly, but recommended that I clean the residue build up of the bad oils forming on top of my battery. Even my friend told me that this job would’ve taken more time/​effort than a simple quick fix, but he only charged me 50 $ for everything.
Wowzer. My friend told me beforehand that this place is not only the best, but the most reasonable with their pricing. I experienced it firsthand. I asked for their business card, and I’m sure I’ll be back with my own car & my friends/family’s to give them more business.
