Poor quality work. Brought it in with a new battery. Left with a dead battery. They genuinely don't care about your car.

Refuse to fix my flat for $25 insisting the nail too big therefore I need new tire? (my tires are only 2 months old). So I went elsewhere and got it fixed in 2 minutes and cheaper too.

They provided quick service at a fair price. English isn't that great but they helped me out a lot. Very busy garage, come early if you can.

Very Nice people. My car tire was Flat and they looked at it on a Busy Saturday with no Appointment. That saved my whole day. They were humble and very polite.

My family has used Tha's auto repair for at least two decades now. The prices are super reasonable and he won't try to recommend things you don't need. Tha is very reliable and I highly recommend his shop.

Tha was great. He fixed the issue at a fair price. Don't expect a fancy waiting room or Nascar shop. But That just gets it done. I needed AC service and he took me on walk in.

I went in with a nail in my front tire, they pulled it out- tested for leaks, and since there wasn’t a leak sent me on my way all in less than 5 mins. No attempt to up-sell or un needed wrk. Fantastic- very satisfied.

Beware while going for smog test. While other charge reasonably less. This guy charged $42 for first attempt which was failed due to new battery. He didn't give any checklist or bother to ask any questions before doing smog test. At the end he said that he will retest. But when I appear again to retest he denied and again charge $28. That total $70 for smog test for 2014 year car. My advise is to discuss everything upfront and get in written. Also, he may not do your job on time while he will not refuse to take your case and promise to deliver quick (false).

He charged my neighbor twice for the same repair, and didn't even end up fixing the issue. Stay far away from this guy and his business!

LEFT IN TEARS.... I, along with my elderly mother and father, have been loyal longtime customers of Tha's for over 10 years. His prices were more reasonable than others and we knew he wouldn't do anything unethical in fixing our cars. However, lately I have seen a substantial decline in the quality of the work and customer service. I scheduled a routine oil change days in advance and still ended up waiting for 2 hours (the wait at Jiffy Lube is 10 minutes). So expect long wait times. Furthermore, I saw one of his new guys not use a funnel when topping off the break fluid and lots of oil dribbled out of the bottle into my engine. Keep in mind last week my dad had his oil changed by Tha and he discovered the oil cap was left completely off, just sitting on the engine when he returned home. If my dad hadn't immediately checked, who knows what kind of damage could have been done. So after two hours of standing (no chairs), waiting for my car oil to be changed, I asked to check the oil level. I couldn't see the oil line very clearly, but Tha insisted it was fine. I thanked him and left. The next day I thought it would be a good idea to check the level. Every time I checked (different times of day, different leveled surfaces), the oil was showing low (see photo). I called Tha and he raised his voice at me explaining the level is fine! I told him I'm concerned, and asked if could I swing by for him to do a quick check. He reluctantly agreed. When I arrived, I held out my phone so Tha could see a photo of the low oil level knowing I wasn't making this up. He brushed me aside impatiently snapping, "Ya, ya, I don't want to see a photo. Let me look at the car." I trailed behind him and when he checked the level it surprisingly looked pretty normal in the middle. "That's strange," I said. What would cause that to happen?" Immediately he became visibly angry and threatened, "How do I know?!? I don't know where you took that photo or where you checked the level! WE are professionals! WE know how much oil to put in your car! The next time you come back and I check your oil, YOU will be charged!" I was shocked that he was speaking to me in such an angry, unprofessional manner and I explained how I was simply a concerned customer trying to prevent possible engine damage. Shaking his head at me with extreme annoyance he admonished, "No, oil can be at 10 percent on low and be fine. You worry too much! Next time you go somewhere else for your oil change or I charge you extra for my time!" Feeling unappreciated, I explained how my entire family has been supporting his business for over 10 years as very loyal customers. Tha cut me off saying, "Ya ya- I appreciate your business..." and then completely walked away from me when I was talking in mid sentence. After getting balled out, I left shaken up and in tears (on Valentine's Day of all days!), feeling disrespected and like all my years of loyalty were slapped in the face the minute I questioned him. Is it such a crime to come back 2-3 times in those 10+ years and ask for 5 minutes of his time to recheck the workmanship? No customer should be yelled at and treated with such rudeness, along with putting up with long wait times, and lower quality work. I will take my business elsewhere where they value their customers and treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve.

I wouldn't trust the diagnosis of this shop. They overcharge way beyond what is the actual problem. Got inspected from third mechanic and found a different issue than suggested by Tha Auto

Once I found Tha, I have never gone anywhere else. The guy has been handling all my Hondas for years and he’s honest and reasonably priced. Do not go to a dealership, go to Tha. You will get ripped off at the dealership with their insane hourly prices. He’s fixed all kinds of issues for my engine and electronics. I buy used Hondas as a rule and I know I need maintenance and TLC for them and he is my go to guy.
