Tech Auto has been our mechanic for over a decade. They've worked on many different cars over the years. Bobby is a great guy and is extremely knowledgeable and well-connected. We've taken German cars to him, domestic cars to him. He always gets them fixed. And if something goes wrong with something he's already worked on, he gets it taken care of at no additional cost. One example, we have a 30 year old VW Vanagon Westfalia Camper Van. It has a mid 1990s Jetta engine conversion. We needed some new coolant hoses. They are famously NLA (no longer available) from dealers, but he found

Super knowledgeable, fast, straightforward, just all around awesome experience with these guys. Called ahead and they said if I took my car in first thing in the morning depending on the circumstance they could have it ready before the end of the day. *Cue the eye roll* But I took it anyway and they actually did have a diagnostic ready in no time and I got my car back by the end of the day. Mind you nothing major was wrong with it but still. I appreciated the honesty from Bobby who broke everything down in a way I could understand and didn't try to upsell any unnecessary parts and mechanic

Went there the day before thanksgiving needing the head light assembly on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee changed out. I was trying to get out of town before traffic got too insane and they were able to get me in and out of there in less than 3 hrs. Their rates were great as well. Will definitely use them next time I need it and would recommend them to all.

Beware of this place, especially if you look like someone that has no idea about cars. They will try to take advantage of you.
Last week my gf brought her 2006 VW Passat. She poured way too much oil and the cylinders were not working properly. She was quoted $990 to "flush the cylinders, vaults, etc." They also told her that they have to charge her $125 for "diagnostics" they ran on her car. Well, their "diagnostics" amounted to reading the check engine code with a scanner and checking the oil level. Mind you that you can purchase such scanner for $19.99 and the whole

First time taking the daily driver (MINI) for service. My regular mechanic referred me to Tech Auto since they only work on BMW, so I figured I would give them a try. Needed a scheduled oil change, and was able to drop by with no appointment. They have a small waiting area with bench seats.
The service rep explained that for all services they perform, they use BG additives. He went on to explain and show a marketing brochure full of 'with and without' additive pictures, further pushing the product. I stated several times I do not want any type of additives with my oil change, and that

These guys are fantastic. I've been twice because my car was stalling out. The first time I had my car in, it had died and I had it towed to Tech Auto. I had taken it to another mechanic shop in town who could not diagnose it. Tech Auto had my car done fast and replaced my fuel pump.
The second time I took my car in, I arrived at 5:30am and was waiting in the dark, cold for the shop to open at 7:00. But before 6, Michael got to work and saw my car sitting at the curb, came over to see if someone was inside, then let me sit in the shop waiting area even though it was super early and they

I took my 73 Bronco in to have the C-4 automatic transmission rebuilt and my transfer case checked and resealed. My transmission had some serious/rare issues that took a while to diagnose. They got it fixed and fixed right. It was the one bad apple in probably 100,000 transmissions. But they stuck to thier word, stuck to the agreed estimate, and got it done. Any problems I can't solve by myself on the Bronco, I know where I will take it.

A friend recommended Tech Auto to me. I took my car to them about 3 months ago to have the brakes done and to have a failing gearshift lever fixed. I also had them do an oil change/filter while the car was there. Bobby did an excellent job on everything, and he even replaced a bad taillight bulb he noticed was burned out. The bill was very reasonable, so I could not have been happier about my first experience with them.
About 2 weeks ago, on the strength of my initial experience, I recommended Tech Auto to my boss whose car needed new brakes. She was equally pleased with their work and their prices

They have a recurring break-in problem they don't want anyone to know about. It is so bad that they leave all of the cars in the lot overnight, with a 5 foot fence to "protect" ,and leave the doors unlocked so the windows don't keep getting broken.
When your car is victimized, they take the approach of " Blank You", it is not our problem.
Owner actually said that to me. Said there is no way to prevent it.
I'd go elsewhere where the busines actually may appreciate having paying customers, and empathy for unfortunate negligence.

Bobby Harting has been the trusted guy "under my hood" since 1993 when i brought my first baby (a 1962 Ford Falcon) in for repair. He was the mechanic who offered tips and suggestions - even going so far as to tell me how to fix the simple problems I was having and lending me the tools to do it myself rather than having him charge me for something unnecessary.
He's been with me through three vehicles and has continued to provide stellar and ridiculously quick service to me, my friends and family. Go see Bobby for all your auto needs!
Insiders Tip:
Get there early: Doors open at
