Gente deshonesta! Pedí un turbo para que lo pusieran en mi camioneta. Después de una semana, Jan, el hijo del dueño, me dijo que estaba listo, pero en realidad nunca lo reemplazó. Con magia perdió el viejo turbo. Ahorre dinero y lleve su negocio a otro shop.

Been taking my vans here for years. Never had a problem. Always there in emergency break down. Jan and Hector treat you right and always as the knowledge to trouble shoot and fix there problems rapidly

They don't tell you the price, they work on the car without telling you and then they give you a huge amount. I have changed there a fuse box and an ECM for my Nissan Juke, they charged me $1100. After two weeks they finally fixed it, but the car immediately had other problems after that. But at least it worked and runs after all this time and money, that's why I don't put just one star, but two.

Very expensive, don't tell you the price before starting working, and don't answer when you call them or text them to have updates about your car. Never again.

One of the worst mechanic shops dishonest i had my engine replaced by them 5 months ago and already had it go out 4 times. The first time it was leaking oil because they improperly installed the gasket. Also upon taking it back for the 4th time they said water was in my gas tank which was a lie. i took it to the mechanic shop around the corner and it was just a bad oil pressure switch which caused my car to go in limp mode which was a 150$ fix. Hector is a scam artist beware he was trying to charge me 650$ saying the gas needed to be flushed but that was never the issue l!!! Stay away they are Scam artists!!

Absolutely amazing! I was on vacation when my transmission failed and they were not only quick but made the whole process easy and as stress free as it could be. Would recommend them to anyone looking for great service and quality work. Out of all the estimates I got, they were also the cheapest! It’s a win all around ◡̈

I definitely would not recommend this place to no one. I went in because my battery would not stay charged and it was an electrical problem. They charged me $125 to run an R&R voltage and harness test and they had no clue what the issue was. I didn't mind paying the $125 plus whatever I assumed they would say it would cost to fix the problem. But they charged me $125 and could not even give me a diagnostic. And all the owner Hector could say was that he had to do what he had to do to keep the business running. Make sure that when you come to this place, they can actually diagnose your problem, and not just charge you to run some tests and then not be able to resolve the issue.

When you've been going to the same mechanic for many years, it's difficult to choose a new one, especially when cats are not your specialty. This is the situation I found myself in when my long time mechanic fell into bad health and was forced to retire. I had been out of town for a month and needed some repairs done quickly and didn't have much time to look around before returning to work, so I just had to read some Google reviews and pick something close because I knew my car wouldn't make it far. I came in with an idea about what I might need thanks to a diagnostic my friend had got from AAA when I was away. Their mechanics checked a couple things, found the issue, and got me out of there in a couple hours and for hundreds of dollars cheaper than if they just did what that diagnostic said. They could've just replaced that other part for more money, and I'd have been right back in there soon to spend more to fix the real issue. But they didn't. And now they've got a customer for life. Thank you, Northgate Auto Repair. -Sam with the Kia Soul
