Excellent service. They have worked on my corvette, my yukon, my astro van as well as replaced an engine in a friends pathfinder. If you are looking for an honest mechanic this is the place--

I'm going to share this review on YELP as well, because when I/we experience great customer service, I'm of the opinion, that the world, needs to know about it! So, I was experiencing a very hard to diagnose electrical issue with my GMC Yukon. At intermittent times we would hear, well, the sound of an electrical "whir"...maybe a short...where you'd actually hear AND feel that unnerving "buzz"...and simultaneously, the Instrument Panel would flash a reboot (like it does, when you first turn on the ignition & it goes through the self-diagnostics). If driving at night, the lights would cut out, and back on. It's as if...at speed (60+ mph on the Freeways, or, 35mph on the streets, etc.)...the car was turning itself off, and back on...for a split second. VERY SCARY feeling no joke! So...we brought the Yukon, to Alex, our normal mechanic (who's very good, BTW!)...they tested everything, the charging system, the alternator, the battery, checked the wiring...etc...couldn't find anything wrong, nor could they duplicate the behavior. Alex, suggested we call Jose @ Valley Auto Electric...said they were highly recommended. OK, so within minutes, I called Jose, who was *very* patient with me over the phone, while I described in full detail (more than I've typed here), exactly what was going on with the Yukon, and we booked an appointment for the next morning. We met with Jose, a very nice man, he looked at a few things, told me, it might be a day or two, that there was a $140 Diagnostic Fee that they'd apply to any work to be done, I agreed, and left the Yukon in his hands. He called me that afternoon, just to give a status report...said he needed at least another day...and I agreed. The next day, in the afternoon, we spoke again, said he was trying this and that, he needed to further the scope of the troubleshooting, I still, of course, agreed, and that he'd continue to follow-up. By the 3rd day, I could tell, that Jose and his crew were a bit baffled...and I understood...as that is, typically, what you encounter, with an "intermittent electrical problem" in an automobile (yes, I've been there, done that, in the past). Jose told me, I could pickup the Yukon, as they could, as of yet, determine any particular diagnosis and plan of correction. He *did* mention, that my battery, had been leaking acid, and strongly recommended, that I replace it. I'd purchased that battery from PepBoys 2+years prior, and knew it was under warranty replacement (good thing). And so I did. Now...what Jose didn't know...is that I'd needed to replace my doggone Windshield Washer Reservoir Tank in the Yukon for quite some time, as it simply leaked out, any time you tried to fill it. The bad news, is that the way GM engineered this, you have to take out the battery, and the plate underneath the battery, and crawl under the car to remove the electronic sensor & pump motors, and some *#)($_)@$!! bolts and screws in bad places...just to remove the reservoir...so it can be replaced/repaired...which I figured I'd just do at the same time...since I had to replace to doggone battery anyway. Jose could never have known this, unless he removed all this crappola...and may not have even thought about it initially...but we're of the opinion...that the battery acid, drip by little itty bitty drip...had dripped, onto the connection points, of the reservoir's electrical contacts, for the Washer Fluid "sensor". GO FIGURE!!! So...we're a good week+ now since we replaced the battery and the reservoir tank, we've driven it over 200+ miles, and NO problems thus far! Jose had felt so bad about NOT finding anything wrong, that he NEVER CHARGED ME for the $140 fee!! AND, he told me, that IF the problem persisted, to document it, and bring it right back in. Of course, being intermittent, that would be somewhat difficult, but that's a whole other discussion. The point is, that (a) he "pointed" us in the right direction, (b) he wouldn't accept any monies, & (c) he was honest and direct. *FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE*, and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thanks!

Great prices and amazing customer service. I respect this location because they don’t take advantage of their customer. They never beat around the bush and they will tell you exactly what the problem is. I also respect them because they tell you if it is serious or not, as well as explaining it in such a understanding way.

Isaac & Jose run this Pop/Son shop, professionally, in a courteous manner, well knowledged, with excellent service... just as I've always heard. They've had an awesome rep for many yrs, & apparently still do.😁 I've been referred here by: Dealership employees; auto store emps; friends & fam. After all these yrs of driving by this place off Valley Blvd, it was finally my turn to bring in my vehicle, OUCH!😖 I never had to come here until recently. Something was draining my JEEP battery frequently, over a 3 yr span. Couldn't find anyone to fix the issue. Gone to a couple dealerships; bought at least 6 batteries from various places; asked several auto shop emps for advice; to no avail. FINALLY, I caved in, & dropped off my JEEP. I was skeptical, thinking it would be extremely expensive, but WTH, no choice. Within hrs, the pros told me it had to do with a bad module relating to my VIPER alarm system. WOW! All this time I thought it was my after market stereo system, draining the battery. PROBLEM SOLVED! YAY!!!👍 Secondly, my JEEP needed a new psgr side mirror, as mine had a crack in the plastic molding. Was charged a fair & reasonable price for all parts & labor. Appreciated the paid Diagnostic test fee, went towards the total cost. This may be a "Hole in the Wall" shop, but it may be why customers get a great deal on repairs... not paying too much for overhead. Will definitely be back, if ever my vehicles need this type of service again. Highly recommend this place. Thanks guys, for all your hard work, for keeping on your masks, like we have to, & keeping this a safe, clean as possible, environment, during the pandemic!😷⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The place is kinda hidden, had a little bit of a hard time finding the place. When i did find it everything after that went great. Service was good. I went here to get my condenser replaced, i had the condensor so i just needed someone to put it on. It cost $260 tax and everything. Other places were charging $300+ and on top of that they would need the car for a day. This place 3 hours done. So i save money and didnt have to leave my car. I recommend this place.

I had no heat and needed a diagnosis and repair. I got an explanation and written estimate and am so happy to have my car fixed. The work was professional and Jose even finished a day ahead of schedule. The car was cleaned up after the work and he went above and beyond. I felt I received honest and great pricing and will return for other work.

Person knew exactly what he was doing. My ac stopped working and they did a great job fixing the problem. The customer service was great and the communication was great as well. As for price? Well....it is, what it is. Honestly I've never taken it somewhere and not spent a good amount t of money. But you get what you pay for.

If you're looking for someone to work on your car, and you want someone whos to the point, honest, and cost conscious...these are the guys you want to go to. They worked on an electrical problem for me and could have just fixed the issue and took my money but, instead he warned me of another issue that was causing my problem. It was an issue that they dont even deal with. So there was no reason for him to let me know about it other than he was being honest. I appreciate that and I highly recommend these guys for anything AC or electrical

Almost got scammed. Explained everything over the phone and gat a quote of $160. Went there, they wanted $190. Will do $160 if paid by cash. Didn't have enough cash because they didn't mention cash. They blamed me for not find finding out about cash price. Went to a different shop that accept credit card was cheaper. Very dishonest.
