Miguel's Brake and Auto Repair

My 20 yr old TOYOTA Celica was blowing hot. Miguel recharged it as I stood there and charged me less than I expected. The next day, I brought my 30 yr old VOLVO to him. Same issue. He quickly researched how to service the old car and had it blowing cold that day. Just recently, I asked him to replace the Volvo’s fuel pump and crank sensor. He researched the topic and mentored his apprentice through the “detective” operation, replaced the sensor and discovered that I had purchased the wrong fuel pump. The right part is on the way. I know enough now to write a review. Miguel’s Auto & Brake Service does great work at a fair price! They don’t have a receptionist but Miguel responds quickly to my text msgs. The best way to follow up with him is to visit his shop, which can be hard to find. UPDATE: the right parts worked. Miguel completed the work and fixed the car horn too. 5+Stars. My daughter's car is next up. Updated 4/10/2025: Last month, Miguel gave my 1995 Volvo 960 wagon another lease on life, repairing the exhaust system, installing brake pads/rotors, getting the 2nd horn to work, various miscellaneous tasks. He got it all done well. The price was very fair. He diagnosed my daughter's Hyundai as a transmission issue and sent us elsewhere. It is great to have an auto mechanic who inspires confidence and trust and who consistently delivers value! I am grateful for that.

Great car repair shop. All Mechanics are professional, knowledgeable and really care, there’s honesty with integrity to do thorough job wow that’s a BONUS! I plan to use this shop for my car needs from now on. They have totally earned my trust.

I am very grateful this mechanic exists. It takes me 30 minutes to get to them, but It's worth it. Quick quality service and best prices I have found. I highly recommend!

Was told that heater core flushes aren’t a thing and had to be fully replaced. At the time we did a radiator flush hoping it would help . Later found out that a heater core flushes exist, he just wanted to charge me to replace it which was a huge price difference. Wasted almost $400 for a flush I didn’t need, had to go to a different shop because I felt like he was lying to me, and find out he was! Don’t come here if you’re a single woman.
