I was referred by a friend, I had taken my car for a loud tire noise to someone else and they couldn't pin point what it was. Owner here was super pleasant, test drove my car right away, told me what the issue was, worked on my car on the same day and was affordable, problem fixed.
Highly recommended!!! Will be bringing my car here for any other problem in the future.
Thank you for such great service!!!

Had my engine replaced a year ago which worked out okay realized later that I had an exhaust leak took it back so they fixed it didn't get fixed I found a Bolt the exhaust manifold that would not tighten up so evidently there was some damage to the stud on the head on the motor they put in or something so I eventually took it back they said they fixed it didn't get fixed so I had a coolant leak and I took it back turns out it was the heater hoses going into the heater core so he said he put new clips on it and fix the exhaust leak for a third time which is far as I can tell may still

Great shop, very reasonable prices and the owner is real nice, he even fixed the broken latch on my trunk door while I was there. I don't think he even charged me extra. Going back tomorrow for a transmission fluid flush.

I went in based on recommendations from family and friends and went out with excellent customer service and good pricing. Everyone there is professional and friendly, not to mention HONEST and reliable. It's really hard these days finding good mechanics. Look no further and give Prado's a try!

I've been taking my vehicles here for a while, my wife's car, work truck and anyone that I know that needs a reliable mechanic this is where I send them. I can't say good enough things about this establishment. It's family owned, they are trustworthy, very knowledgeable and there's a professional environment going on here. The customer service is outstanding and the prices are more than reasonable. If you're currently looking for a mechanic I highly recommend this place. Ask for Max or Johnny. They also perform smog checks.

Thank you guys for helping us out. Our old car needed a good tune up and the oil change special was cheaper than the other guys. I like the new location BTW.
