Avondale Auto Repair

Samuel at Avondale Auto Repair was amazing. He answered all of my questions, made me feel very welcome, and clearly explained the entire repair process. He even walked me through two different financing options, which I really appreciated. I got my car back just a few hours after dropping it off. Thank you, Samuel, for your professionalism and hard work highly recommend!

I took my car here once and will be coming back. From my one experience, it was fairly priced and Sammy was extremely nice, professional, and communicative. It’s nice knowing these guys are nearby to help with my car needs and I recommend them!

I had my car serviced by them a couple days ago , I really wanna give a shout out to Luis and Nathan they were really helpful and professional. I was having a hard time doing a diagnostic on my car from the a/c and they saved me from a year long headache . Luis was really professional and very detailed in his work and well spoken and allowing me to see the issue with him on my vehicle . I would come back here again for any car troubles I can’t thank them enough for their honesty..something you don’t find in shops very often , It was my first time to get a repair done at a shop and probably will stick to this place ! Their inspections are incredibly detailed providing photos and videos about my car .Couldn’t have asked for a better inspection , thank you Luis ! Got my car throwing that ice cold ❄️ I truly recommend this place :)

I brought my Bentley Flying Spur to Avondale Auto Repair, and they were very professional, informative, and patient (especially with my phone calls 😃) throughout the process. Nathan was especially helpful and polite, and his consistent responsiveness to my text messages/questions not only helped me learn some new things about my car, but also sleep well at night knowing my car was in great hands. They are now my new go-to location for all future maintenance and repairs. THANK YOU, Avondale 🙏

I can’t say enough great things about Avondale Auto Repair, Nathan, Rick and their staff. As a first-time customer, I came in with what I thought was a simple issue—my 2017 Toyota RAV4 key fob suddenly stopped working. I’d replaced the battery before, so I tried that again… nothing. My (very mechanically inclined) husband tried too—still nothing. That kicked off the search for a replacement, and wow—what a frustrating experience. The dealership quoted me $600 to replace and program a new key. Automotive locksmiths were all over the place—$180, $250—and the whole process felt vague and transactional, like you couldn’t get a straight answer without jumping through hoops. Then I found Avondale Auto Repair through the Costco Auto Program—and everything changed. Rick answered the phone, and within seconds I felt reassured. He was straightforward, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. Instead of trying to sell me something, he explained the pros and cons—how aftermarket keys often don’t last, and how they source directly from the dealer but can usually save customers about $100. No pressure. Just real, helpful information. When I came in, that same feeling continued. The shop itself is clean, bright, and welcoming—nothing like the typical auto repair environment. Nathan (Rick’s brother-in-law) was at the front desk and immediately made us feel comfortable. Friendly, genuine, and incredibly helpful. Before recommending anything, he opened up my key and inspected it to confirm it wasn’t just a battery issue. That alone told me everything—I wasn’t being upsold. They were actually trying to help. Then Rick came back from lunch and did the same thing again, just to double check. I paid a deposit and they said they’d call once they got the key from the dealership. It took a few days. Even though they were short-staffed they week of my FOB order, Nathan handled everything with professionalism and kindness. He called three different dealerships to track down my key (since it was out of stock everywhere), coordinated the order, and made the whole process seamless. When I came back to drop off my car, even the staff helping me park were warm and courteous—it’s those small touches that really stand out. We used to have a go-to repair shop nearby, but after a change in ownership, it just hasn’t been the same. Now, we’ve found our new place. Avondale Auto Repair didn’t just fix a problem—they earned our trust. And that’s everything. That’s how you do it, Nathan and Rick!
