We have 2 Japanese import Kei Trucks from the ‘90’s. Avila’s did excellent work, communicated the issues well, and did full evaluations and major repairs on them for us. All for a reasonable and honest price. I’d use them again for any car issue!

My family's car alternator went out on us out of nowhere, and we bought the replacement part with no way to install it. Juan was able to install it for us in about 4 hours for $165. And when I was going to call an Uber he went out of his way to drive me back to my house. Juan and his team are great people, they truly care about their customers and my car is working better than ever. He even fixed my broken front bumper free of charge. I've recommended family to him and they will definitely be staying with him for a while.

Great team, worked on my ford focus transmission, and they got it done at half price off the dealership quote.

They changed my thermostat in my car but they didn't bleed the air of the coolant system, so my engine overheated and i had to spend another $200 to fix their error. Don't spend money with these people. You get bad service. They also put my thermostat in backwards. I had to pay someone to fix their error. These people are only in it to create more problems with your car so you have to bring it back so they can fix it again. I should call the newspaper and TV about it. They spoke very little English and attempted to fix my car without consulting the proper schematics for my make and model. Then they had the audacity to blame me for it and told me to bring it back in so they could check it out. they only put one gallon of coolant back in as well when it takes 3 gallons.

Very fair and very thorough! Juan does not do anything to your car that doesn’t need to be done… And he even takes care of some of the things that you might not have known about… But always and only after asking your permission!

This review is long overdue. My vehicle's starter was on the verge of death. It was Sunday afternoon and I had a long road trip in two days, a deadline I HAD to meet. Every other mechanic shop was either closed or unable to service my vehicle until Friday. Juan and his mechanics were able to change the starter on my vehicle in a little over one hour. He charged me far less than I expected, it was a fair price considering the circumstances. While I was waiting, I got to know Juan and I believe he is a hard working father, earning an honest living. I am grateful to have found his shop and would definitely recommend his services. Thank you, Juan. I hope you and your family are doing well.

Mr. Avila is definitely top tier. For single ladies not wanting to get taken advantage of, Mr Avila will take good care of you. He did excellent work on my car and was reasonable. I've found a mechanic I trust and will not go anywhere else.

The very best of personable service. Juan and his team are professional and got my car a.c. fixed in short order for the hot summer. Very reasonable rates. Class act! Highly recommend.

This is the best shop in the area. Juan and his guys helped me with custom welding on my bumper, replaced parts, and even went back to replace a faulty fuel pump days after it was put in at no extra charge DAYS before I had to move. I told them I was on an urgent deadline and they said no problem, we can do it. These guys are fast and professional. Don't waste your time at some of the bigger shops that'll sit on your car for days without touching it!

Best Auto Service in San Antonio 😃👍

Called for a starter replacement pretty late in the afternoon. They gave me the lowest price I could find across SA, and got the part immediately and got me fixed the same day - They worked past closing hours for me. From what I could tell, honest mechanics that know what they are doing. They also warned me of a problem with my battery terminal cables that should be replaced in the future, which could lead to frying my new starter if I don't. If they had malicious intent, they would not have warned me about something like this for more business I would think... So needless to say, they have the best intentions. Juan and his guys are a great team that bounce off of each other, and I couldn't recommend them enough. As a local, I would definitely drive across town again for future issues.

Great place, Jaun took a ride in my vehicle to diagnose my vehicles issue. He was fair on the pricing and he was extremely fast.

I pulled up with emergency service and he didn't ask me no questions just told me what part to get I returned and he got straight to work with 3 others cars up on the lift thing and then trusted me to go to ATM awesome service and he has a good heart I will always come back for any repair

I’ve called around town to find a reasonable mechanic to install my motor mounts for me and Juan had the best prices. He was patient with me on any questions I’ve asked about what I needed done. I dropped my car off to him and he replaced my motor mounts in under two hours. My car idles much smoother now. I definitely recommend Juan Avila and company. Thank you again and support local!

Took my BMW in on a Saturday for a coolant leak. Not only did Mr. Avila and his crew get my car in right away, but it was also done same day! He also showed me exactly what he did and informed me on some parts I should be looking out for. If you’re looking for an honest and knowledgeable mechanic this is the spot. Amazing customer service and even better pricing. Cars running good as new now. Will definitely be back for future repairs.

Absolute stand up guy, was very kind to me and charged an extremely fair price for a pre purchase inspection on a used car I was considering buying.

Am not gonna lie, at first I had my doubts about this place, but I took a chance and I'm Very glad I did. I spoke to the owner ( which I've spoke to customers myself due my work) and just by listening to him I could tell this guy is a True people person! He assured me of his work, time frame was right on. They replaced A/C compressor, filled with free-on at a price that I could NOT say No to. AND came with Great warranty, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Avila Auto Service and I'm going to when someone asks me for a mechanic!

Great service

I had a coolant leak and he found it immediately. He was very kind and didn’t try to take advantage of me being a woman and not knowing much about cars. His prices are very reasonable and he got it done in the time frame I needed it done because I was going out of town. I will definitely be returning for any future issues and highly recommend this place!

I highly recommend Avilas Auto service for any of your car needs. The customer service is impeccable. He really works to give great communication making it easy to build trust with him. I had an issue with my car and took it in and got a diagnosis and everything was taken care of that same day. He did his best to acknowledge how efficiently I needed to have my car fixed. He thoroughly explained the problem and what needs to be done to fix it. I will go back to him for any car needs as well as recommend his services to everyone.

I shopped around for a mechanic for a while. Because I didn't want to get ripped off. I've been to his shop twice and he will do the job right and he'll fix it in a hurry. If you want a fair deal in a mechanic definitely go here.
Feb 06, 2023
Just had a great service here. Wasn’t expecting to be fixed up the day of, but was very grateful to be in and out, with problem solved in just a few hours! Honest work and friendly service. I have better faith here since that it’s a small local shop.
Feb 06, 2023
Professional service. I didn't speak Spanish but the mechanic was helpful in making sure he explained what was needed and didn't charge a life savings price for his service. Definitely recommend. I will be a regularly returning customer.
Feb 06, 2023
The owners really friendly very understanding he'll work with you as much as possible without costing you too much money.
Feb 06, 2023
This place was great. Juan was very kind and the prices were very reasonable. They don't try to sell you on anything you don't need like a lot of places. I needed a lot of work done and now my truck drives like it's brand new.

Can't beat the prices or service highly recommended to my friends and family I will be back for future problems with my car
