I had an audi a3 2015 try to fix my heater, while i took the car everywhere nobody had a solution to my car. I was a bit disappointed so i saw this location from reviews i took my car there as last hope. Mike (the owner) he was very professional and helpful guy. He helped me understand what was going on with my car and fixed it for me without any hesitation. The price was absolutely fare i believe he only charged me for the parts that he changed in the car. Thanks. To mike see my car running smoothly and perfectly back again. I recommend this place to everyone.

Marco is the best! My car is older and had so many problems, some caused by other garages. He has fixed my car once even at no cost because it was an “easy fix” super informative and will show you the parts and explain where things broke. Highly recommend

Fair, honest, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable, these guys are the best around. They can handle domestic, european, motorcycles, ANYTHING with wheels. They're the only shop that could handle my carbureted engine. I don't trust anyone else with my car. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! ***UPDATE They just did an amazing job on my cylinder head. Engine is running fantastic. Like new! ***UPDATE They have basically restored my 1990 Jeep Wrangler. Engine, transmission, clutch, suspension, electrical, and so much more. Every time I drive away from A1 Auto my machine is running just a little better. These guys do such great work! I'm so glad I found them. You don't have to wonder if they're trying to rip you off. They are extremely fair and honest and up front about the work that needs to be done. *****UPDATE An honest mechanic is difficult to come by. I am so grateful that I happened across this garage. These guys really are the best. I seriously try to pay them more money than they charge me and they will not accept it! They've transformed my beat-up old Wrangler into a high-performance machine. I wouldn't even let anyone else check the oil from now on. People, bring your cars, motorc

My family and I have been coming here for a few years now. Mark (Owner) is a stand up guy and fair. Labor costs are, I'd say, moderate. The work that they do is exceptional! Walter (one of the mechanics) is extremely knowledgeable. Thanks guys for keeping our cars maintained and safe! We are grateful!
