I've trusted Angelo and his team for over 3 years now with any and all things my cars might need , and they have never let me down. I don't usually leave reviews, but i know how hard it is to find auto repair shops that are not only great but also don't take advantage of your pocket book. Not only is their work exceptional but so is their customer service. From the minute I walked in Brandie ( in the office) walked me through everything and once I left she always kept me upto date on the progress. I get a text update on anything they need my signature for before they do the work. It's stress-free. I promise I'm really an extremely happy customer and I feel like others deserve and will have a great experience like I have .

I have been taking my Jetta here for a few years now and will never bring it anywhere else for several reasons. First and foremost, I trust Collaco. Every time I’m there, they’re trying to give me the best possible deal and never performing unnecessary services. Angelo is so kind and has a very honest energy about him. I always feel confident leaving my car with him. The girl at the front is amazing. She makes you feel welcome and she makes me laugh. The last time I was there, I waited in the front room and she made the time fly by! Another aspect I love about Collaco is I’m always dealing with the same person working on my car… Angelo. I love that this place is small and intimate. It just feels like you’re part of their family and they genuinely have your best interest in mind all the time. Even if I didn’t live so close to Collaco, I’d travel far to bring my car here! 10/10!

Collaco Auto Repair is EXCELLENT! They ordered parts and fixed like a squirrel that gathers nuts and then gave me a thorough breakdown of exactly what they did! Super professional, timely and great work! And, they gave me a guarantee for their work and a free tow if ever needed! Remarkable customer service and attention to detail! Super impressed and highly recommend to anyone who needs an honest, hardworking, diligent auto repair shop!

Excellent service provided by Collaco Auto Repair dropped my vehicle off (2000 Rav 4) for a fine tooth pick inspection. Within two days I had list of repairs starting from most important to least. I got an electronic contract sent directly to my phone to sign off on the repairs. All major repairs went excellent, we came into a small problem with the blinkers due to the dealership not supplying the correct part and also saying they discontinued the one we need. They contacted me let me know what’s going on never said it is non repairable just gave me the weekend to allow shipping for the correct part to arrive. After that my next message was that my vehicle was ready. Upon arrival my car was washed and detailed, and I was told I have road side service free of charge just because they worked on my vehicle and it’s for any problems not just repairs they made. Excellent service, Excellent customer service, professional staff and shop. Extremely satisfied with the repairs. I would extremely recommend Collaco Auto Repair (C.A.R) to and family friends or anyone looking for great mechanic.

Amazing team here at Collaco Auto Repair; Brandi working the front desk was very communicative and understanding. Angelo, a master tech at Collaco made sure the job was done correct the first time; he even gave me tips on how to make sure my Volkswagen doesn't get carbon buildup in the engine. I Recommend them if you want things done the first time on your vehicle with a friendly staff.

This is an excellent shop that does great work, clearly communicates, has deep knowledge and they're super friendly. My GTI has been in for a variety of reasons from regular maintenance to more involved issues and each time the problem is explained and addressed. On the occasion a visit to the shop did not solve the problem they made things right without question and got it solved asap. Pricing is fair as well. Absolutely recommend Collaco Auto and trust my car is in good hands there!

Don't normally (or ever) leave reviews, but there's a first time for everything. I have a 2010 VW EOS which started experiencing a few problems. After consulting two other shops for some major repairs, car still wasn't running correctly. Sputtering and random stalling persisted, which was scary for me as a 70 y.o. woman who only knows how to fill up the gas tank. Having lost confidence in the first shop and their excuses, I tried a second opinion with another shop where I've taken my car before who specialize in German cars. His estimate came to $8000!! Thought that was ridiculous but what do I know. Out of desperation, looked through an old school Yellow Pages phone book and found Collaco Auto Repair. Short story -- they literally saved me thousands, recommended only what was needed, not the fairy tale wish list of $8000 and gave my car a very thorough diagnosis so I felt reassured there were no hidden problems lurking in the car or have unexpected surprises. The $8000 work wasn't even necessary! It's only been a week, but what a difference! Car has power again and no sputtering. Everything is running normally in tip top shape. I feel confident driving again. I'm so grateful to the entire team there -- not only for their professionalism, and obvious expertise in car repair by being able to diagnose the problem so quickly, but also for their honesty, kindness and empathy. Took the time to explain what is causing the problem and listened to my concerns. As busy as they were, they still took the time to treat me as if I were the only customer and cared about me. Angelo even told me I could return my failed part to the first mechanic for a refund. Didn't know I could do that! I did and got my $$ back. I'm so grateful to them and only wish I had found them years ago. They are just genuinely good people. Thank you so much to Brandie, Angelo, and Manny. And to Marcos (the patriarch) who raised such good son and grandson.

Collaco Auto repair is great. I had a dead battery on my Audi Q5 and they got me right in and replaced it within a day. They were so good that when it was time for my 65,000 mile maintenance I went back to them to get that work done. My Audi runs like new! Brandie is wonderful to work with. She keeps you updated all along the way.

I highly recommend using Collaco Auto. Brandi helped me with everything I needed. She is very communicative, professional, and competent. She always delivered excellent customer service. The auto mechanics did an outstanding job on my vehicle, and Angelo the owner contacted me directly to make sure my vehicle was operating up to my standards, which it is. The whole team deserves recognition there. They know what they’re doing. Thank you all, I greatly appreciate the service and will recommend you to others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have to say this is BY FAR the best place tor ALL auto repairs! Brandi & Angelo are the most genuine, sincere and HONEST people I've ever met in this line of work..especially for someone who knows nothing about cars and can easily taken advantage of. Quick repair, best price out of any other shop in the area and the highest level of service I've ever had! This is now my forever repair shop and I can't thank them enough. Before you go anywhere else, definitely call Collaco Auto Repair First!! I can't say enough good things about this place. Blown away! It's nice to know there are still some people in this world that believe in Karma and treating people with respect and dignity. Thanks again guys! :)

I normally take my car to the dealership but when an emergency repair came up, Audi could not get me in until the following month. I called Collaco and was immediately impressed with Brandy’s customer service. She was kind, accommodating and personable. I got my car in the next day. There was some unexpected issues that arose with the repair and Angelo made it right every step of the way. These people genuinely care about their profession AND the customer. I feel so much better about taking my car to Collaco rather than the dealership now and will continue to have all my services done with Angelo and his team. A++ service!

I was stuck in a rock and a hard place with a bad coolant pump and 300 miles from home. But walking distance from where I was stranded, I called Marcos and Angelo and was VERY pleased with their clean shop, attitude, care, knowledge, and felt they were the right guys to fix my van and they were. I was very pleased and they did what they said and when I came to see how things were going it looked organized and I knew they knew what they were doing. I will use them again when I come back.

I've actually taken my GTO, Mercedes and Audi here. For all the wear and tear parts on the GTO. Every time I've dropped it off his shop kept me in the loop with updates or any additional work needed. Prices have always been fair. Ac blows cold air still, the water pump its doing its job. Even replaced a window. This shop has also saved me a huge diagnostic fee from the dealer when the Mrs droped water on the perferaded seats and the check engine light came on. One of the shops knowledgeable techs was familiar with the code and let know how to remedy the issue. Even offered to reset the code. But after the seat dried the light turned off. Recommended to anyone looking for a great honest shop.
