College Automotive

Started coming here a year ago and I LOVE the service I get from College Automotive. They do a wonderful job on my car and they always give me a good price!

I’ve been going to College Automotive since 2013 for both of my vehicles. Being a single mom I do my best to keep educated so that I get a fair price with excellent service. I’ve tried many other places. Most I experienced poor mediocre service where I was ripped off for simply not knowing better. After educating myself I thought I’d try College Automotive and I have not gone anywhere else since. Manny is always up front with me and never tries to bully me into paying for something I can’t afford at the time. And Andy seems to thoroughly enjoy his work and helping people giving them the best quality work. These two have given me peace of mind countless times! I highly recommend them to anyone. Even if you live far, they are worth the trip! Trust me. You won’t find more honest, humble and friendly guys out there

College Automotive has been taking care of me since I moved here 3 years ago. I refuse to go anywhere else to service my car. The customer service is great and he’s real with you on what your car NEEDS! I recommend this place ALL THE TIME.

I’ve never been to a more honest and down to earth mechanic. They tell you exactly how it is, respect your opinions and wishes about the vehicle, and totally understand that not everyone is made of money. I would drive across the city to come to these guys. Fortunately they are right in my backyard.

We’ve brought 3 cars into the guys at College Automotive for a wide variety of problems. Each and every time Jeff not only easily identified the problem and fixed it quickly, but whenever possible he gave us a comprehensive set of budget friendly alternatives. It was never simple– here’s your problem and here’s the price. Each time I felt I both saved a ton of money and that my car got the treatment it needed. Take your car to Jeff if you want a truly honest and quality mechanic that’s not afraid to think outside the box even if it means he’s going to make a little less.

I had an altenator issue and had it replaced by someone at home. After it was replaced the car still was not keeping a charge and my battery light was still on. I’m usually very skeptical of mechanics/​garages but College Automotive was recommended to me by the Napa auto parts across the street. We dropped it of an they diagnosed the problem as a switch that was burnt out because of the bad altenator. I was scared to hear what the repairs were going to cost but withthe diagnostic test and repair it was less that $ 100. Iwould definatly go here again and I have recommened it to others since.

I got a bad feeling from the moment I went in (not a professional looking shop) — after they looked at my car for a few minutes they wouldn’t give me a firm estimate or a time frame. Coming up on Memorial weekend I didn’t want to chance being without it for a week and then getting a surprise $ 1500 phone call. I went elsewhere…
Advice to the owner — give your customers an EXACT estimate (IF they are willing to pay for it). Also, offer rentals on-​site.

These guys have amazing reviews on garagefly so I decided to take a chance on ‘em last week. Jeff was really friendly and never tried to up-​sell anything. Had a transmission leak that he fixed and honestly, it was about ¹⁄₃ of the price I thought it was going to be after researching. Plus, it’s running like a brand new car.
I took it in on a Friday morning and he called apologizing that he’d need to keep it overnight. They’re usually closed on Saturday but he actually went in and finished it up the next morning and I had it by noon. Awesome.
