I really wanted to leave a great review because the gentleman I spoke with was friendly and seemed trustworthy at first. But overall, I left feeling stuck and disappointed. I brought my car in because my back brakes were squeaking. I explained I was on a tight budget and needed to know the cost before deciding. He told me he couldn’t estimate because prices change daily due to tariffs and that some parts now cost triple. I was worried and said I needed to think about it. He said he’d need to inspect the brakes first to give me a real estimate and promised there would be no charge for this. I agreed and left the car. A few hours later, he called and quoted me $980 for pads and brakes — about half the value of my car. I told him I couldn’t commit right away and needed time to sort out the money. Then he said I’d have to pay $250 just to get my car back if I didn’t do the work there. When I reminded him he’d promised no charge for the check, he said that only applied if I agreed to the repair. After a long pause, he offered me 10% off if I paid immediately. In the end, I did the work and the brakes were replaced properly — so credit for that. But I wish the inspection cost had been made clear from the beginning, especially since I mentioned my budget concerns upfront. I respect the owner and the work done, but I strongly recommend asking for all costs in writing before you leave your car, so you don’t feel stuck later.

I have been taking all my automobiles to Curt’s for the past 20+ years. My wife and I trust their mechanics to always do high quality work at a reasonable price in a timely manner in a personable way. This week Rodrigo (the owner) squeezed me in to replace my truck’s dead batteries even arranging for the tow truck to deliver my vehicle to their shop. Our favorite most trusted repair peeps!

I phone them up for an oil change and they fit me in right away. Only took half an hour. I would highly recommend them for all your automotive repairs.

My truck had been having issues and sounded bad; soon after a daytime running light burnt out. After four appointments with the dealership, nothing is fixed. A family member recommended Curt and Helen Auto repair. This place identified that the dealership had not only neglected the repairs, the general services were never being completed. They addressed every issue in a fast and competent manner. When addressing the light, the wrong part was accidentally ordered and the stock part was going to cost more and took longer to arrive. When it did arrive, I was only changed the original quoted price which was much cheaper. This is my new go-to mechanic. I cannot emphasize the quality and honesty of their work.

Bring my business vehicles here and my personal ones as well. Service is quick, affordable and best of all Rodrigo explains everything to me. Being a woman mechanics can be sort of rude but he talks to me just the same as anyone else. Customer service is still a thing here!

10/10 ⭐️ always !!! Curt and Rodrigo are always friendly and make sure to get the job done. They are fair and upfront when it comes to the repairs and what needs to be done service wise. I have always gotten great service and overall they are a business that I would 100% recommend to any family or friends. When I think about a trustworthy small business that deserves recognition for supporting their community, Curt and Helen Auto Shop always comes to mind first.

I have known Rigo and Curt for more than a decade. They have always been incredible to work with. I've never know mechanics that are so dedicated to their profession and have such incredible customer service. They are fast, responsive and fare priced. If you are having issues with your vehicles or just need regular service, I strongly encourage you to take your vehicles here. They will not let you down!

I have had Curt and his mechanics service my car for many years. Always honest and pricing is fair and reasonable. Always straight with me in what actually needs to be done, what does NOT need to be done and what I should consider down the road. I've been other places for brakes, oil change and factory recall work, and those places always try to tell me I need other things doen, and for high dollar amounts, then I go to Curt's and get the straight story and far better pricing.

I had a hard time finding the right mechanic to work on my vehicles until i was referred through family to come here, and I'm glad I did. Rodrigo was very accommodating and trustworthy in my situation and always made time for me to fix my vehicles. Very knowledgeable and answering all of my questions as well. Definitely recommend this place. 👍

I am fortunate to have a car repair shop that I love. My family has used their services since 2002. They are honest, efficient and knowledgeable. I don't know a lot about cars and I trust Rigo and Curt to fix my cars.

I had new front struts installed on my 2011 ford f150 that I purchased. They did it same day.

Curt and Helen’s Auto Repair Shop are always honest when providing diagnostics and repair estimates, and they charge a fair price for work performed. They have excellent service, work hard to get repairs done quickly, and keep you informed as the repair work progresses. Thank you for all you do!!

I worked with Rodrigo and he was amazing! He was so honest, kind, and so helpful! He made sure my car was taken care of and was so accommodating. I wouldn’t trust my car with anyone else.
