A honest, smart mechanic. Elio is very good. He does everything from complex fixes, oil changes, transmissions and engine swaps. Very skilled, very honest. Last year i had an issue and my car was stalling. Called several mechanics and even had my car towed to a couple. Was told at least 175 to diagnose the issue. I towed my hybrid to AV Auto. Elio was busy but looked at it right away. With one screw driver he re attached a dislodged pipe and told me no charge! Obviously had to give him something but any other mechanic would have seen my car getting towed and thought of dollar signs.

We have gone to AV Auto for over 15 years! Their service is great. It is a small location and always packed. We’ve taken numerous cars there for repair including a Malibu, Mercedes and ford truck. Their prices are competitive and we always go to them first to see if they can do the job. ☺️

This auto shop is a gem! I've been coming to Helios and his team for more than 2 years now, and without a doubt they've delivered every time. Not only are they knowledgeable, friendly, and a skillful mechanic team, but Helios is a straight forward business man. It's very hard to find a trustworthy and honest mech who turns the work around in good time AND at very reasonable quotes/prices. I feel a bit like I'm giving away a secret hole in the wall but AV Auto truly deserves the recognition of their outstanding service and hard work. I highly recommend you consider taking your vehicle here!

My car broke down. It was a Saturday, and they looked at my car immediately. They inspected the car closely, and detected the problem instantly. They could have easily charged us for new parts and labor - but they were completely honest and found a simple solution. They didn’t charge us for anything! They could have easily taken advantage, but were completely truthful and incredibly helpful. I highly recommend this place, especially if you find yourself in a pinch.

After looking for a new shop for my new (old) Honda, I went with AV Auto because of the reviews. They were incredibly helpful and gave me a fair estimate. Then, after doing the work and finding that the fix wasn't as bad as thought, they charged me less! When I went to pay, they showed me that they were using genuine OEM parts (without my asking). I am incredibly impressed; this is how you get a customer for life.

When a new bombshell (me) entered the villa (auto shop) alone I was kindly accommodated with an unscheduled service. When I called ahead and arrived with my man we were made to wait an hour. This happened twice before never again. There are other auto shops.

I can’t speak enough about AV auto. The owner and his team always make me feel super at ease. Being a female I always feel like people in the repair service (men) will try to over charge women or the vibe is off. I’m so grateful for this place. I come here for all my car needs and have been for about 5 years (maybe more). I’m always amazed at how quickly my car gets taken care of. I went in today to get my start engine replaced and thought I would be without a car for maybe a day but nope, got my car back same day. I confidently recommend this place. I fully trust this place and have never had any issues. I get treated respectfully, kindly and never get any ick vibes. Thanks AV AUTO team. I’m grateful I know this spot and my car feels fully taken care of by you guys.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at AV AUTO, and I can’t recommend them enough. Helio, the mechanic who helped me with my mini cooper and alternator issue was very generous with his time and explained everything. Plus competitive pricing!

AV Auto-I came across this place after searching extensively for a somewhere to get my car fixed. This was the place that I got the best deal from and the service was phenomenal. My car was fixed relatively quickly, they stayed open an entire hour later than they were supposed to, gave me a good deal on my car and even fixed my AC for free. The mechanics there are some of the nicest people ever. They were very honest and trustworthy and went out of their way to provide excellent service. I ordered a part for the car which turned out to be the wrong part and they went out and bought the right parts for me and installed it in the car. I highly recommend this place to anyone having any kind of car trouble. They are also bilingual which was a huge plus for me.

Helios and his crew are the best mechanics in the area. They don’t need the work, they have plenty, and for good reason. They are honest, and have actually refused money from me as tips. Can’t say enough good things about these guys.

They are AMAZING! Came to get my BMW’s Turbo Coolant lines fixed and they were EXTREMELY affordable compared to other mechanics and finished swiftly and were very professional! Cannot thank them enough! Left (before) vs. Right (after)

Amazing folks here. Drove up same day for a busted light and some concerns with my brakes. Got the light fixed on the spot in minutes and they checked out my brakes and saved me hundreds of $$$. Didn’t ask for any money either for the work and inspection. Definitely want to bring my car back here when needed.

Excellent customer service here! I had a wonderful experience with Hector this evening. I realized that one of my tires was nearly flat after parking my car for yoga class. As I was walking to the studio I was greeted by a friendly face and warm welcome. He offered to check out the problem and didn’t even make me move my car. It made my day to be treated with such kindness from a complete stranger. I will be coming back for all of my future car repairs. A BIG THANK YOU to Hector and AV Auto! You truly helped me during a time of need! ❤️

Great service! I walked in with my 2016 Accord because I needed an oil change and spark plug replacement, they were able to complete it within a couple of hours at a reasonable price.

Was having issues with a family car loosing coolant. Elio found the issue with my car in about 10 minutes and my car was ready with a brand new replacement part by the end of the day. Prices were fair and communication was easy. Hoping I don't have another car issue in the future, but if I do, this is where I would bring my car for repair.

AV Auto is hands down one of the best mechanic shops I’ve worked with. I had an engine swap done here and the work was excellent. Pricing is fair and honest, turnaround time was solid, and the team is very communicative throughout the process. I trust these guys completely and highly recommend AV Auto to anyone looking for quality work!!

Helio did a great job with my car! Called up the shop saying I needed a clutch replacement and they said right then and there to come in. Dropped off the car and Helio had me taken care of. Got the car back the next day and it feels good as new! He even showed me the old parts for fun!
