Guillermo, the owner has helped me through a number of automotive problems since I found him. He is yet to be wrong on a diagnosis, he uses good parts and he gets the work done in a timely fashion. I have come to trust him without any questions.

I thought I found a new mechanic but I was WRONG! My car radiator needed to be fixed and my original mechanic has decided to close his business, I had already purchased the parts so all I needed was labor, I called around and I found Joe (who's also the owner of the shop) he quoted me a decent amount  which fit my price range, I agreed to the rate, towed my car to his shop right before his closing time he seemed a little exasperated because he was very short with his answers, that's ok I understand how a hard day can be. The next day he called me and said that the car needed hoses for

A couple of years ago, I cracked my oil pan on my Volkswagen Jetta. I had my car towed to Joe's shop on a recommendation from a neighbor. This is the only place I'll take my car now. They have an excellent reputation, do excellent work on all kinds of cars, very professional, and very fair and honest. They won't nickel-and-dime you here. They'll tell you exactly what's wrong, what the price is going to be, and that's the price it is. You can count on them to fix it right the first time.

I have gone to other mechanics in the past where I felt like I was being taken

Called and asked for a tune up and the guy repeatedly asked me what's wrong with my car, I just need a tune up ... If I get this much hassle just to get a simple tune up I probably don't want any service from this place

I've been taking my 2003 Volkswagen Jetta to Joe's Shop since I bought it 4 years ago. I didn't have a mechanic before that, so my neighbor highly Joe shop to me. I'm glad I followed her recommendation.
As a woman who knows nothing about the mechanics of cars, it has always been a little intimidating having to take my vehicles in for repairs.
At Joe's shop, it's like having a friend in the business.
I don't worry about whether the repairs I'm told need to be done actually need to be done, I don't worry that I'm being told I need additional work that I don't really need, I don't worry that I

I absolutely love this shop! They are so fair with their prices and great about advising me of the best repairs needed for a great running car. They never try to oversell me either. Very trustworthy which I find well worth the value.

I've been coming to Joe's for 5 years. He always repairs any issue with my cars. I have never had a bad experience. It's nice to have total trust in your mechanic. I have sent a few friends there. I will recommend Joe's Shop to anyone!

Guillermo was quick to reply using Yelp, only a couple of shops replied before him. I spoke to the other two shops and both wanted to see my truck first before even giving a ROUGH quote. Guillermo gave me a rough quote through Yelp and was nice to talk to on the phone. I decided on Joe's Shop and quickly drove my Toyota 4x4 Pickup to his shop for a refined quote. He spent a bit of time talking to me about the truck and the AC compressor. He taught me how to quickly spin the compressor and hear the sounds and feel for resistance. He was right, the compressor was bad and the condenser

My first time into Joe's shop this week. I setup an apt to have my son's Infiniti G 35 Knock Sensor replaced. Service was done as promised and on time. They did a nice job taking care of our needs for this repair. I would recommend to anyone looking for a fair and honest shop! They are not the cheapest, but when it comes to my cars and there operation I don't want shoddy work done!!

I had my car towed to Joe's thinking I needed a new water pump, which on my car included the timing belt. He quoted me 390, which is much lower than anyone else. Once the car was delivered it turned out to be a leaky hose. He didnt have to tell me this, but he did. Next, my car has leaked a LOT of oil and smelled terrible. He said your car leaks a lot of oil, it is some switch did you want us to fix that. 200 for both water leak and oil leak. I said my AC hasnt worked in a year and I'm dying in my car, would you check that.

Picked my car up this morning, no leaks, ice cold

I was introduced to Joe's shop by a friend. I went into the shop after a check engine light came on. After having my car for a day I received a call that they wanted to keep my car over night to properly diagnose the problem. I had gotten the check engine light codes from the shop that told me to go to joe's. The codes came back something real simple but for some reason joe's shop couldn't get the computer to read the code. So when i spoke with them again they told me i needed a new transmission or rebuilt tranny. That was going to cost 2,500 dollars. I Made some phone calls

Being a single woman, its always scary to take your car to someone who don't know at all. But twice I've taken my car to this shop recently, only to have them go out of their way to be honest and take care of me. Once my car was pulling hard to the left, I drove to Joe's Shop and the man who worked the desk checked out my car and told me it was my tires. I was not charged anything and he was right. New tires fixed the problem. A few weeks later when my engine gave out and I had my car towed to the shop on a Sunday, when I called on Mon I was told they would look at it and let me

Great service and prices. Would definitely come back here. Could have easily charged us for a bunch of work but found a way to make repairs at 1/10 the price I was estimated at another shop. Van still working great a year later.

I was introduced to Joe's Shop by a friend, when I had car problems. I've always had great service from them. Their prices are fair and the finished the work as promised on time. They stay in contact while they have you car and keep you informed about it's progress. Guillermo seems to be one of the few honest mechanics left.

Horrible service! My husband purchased a discount card form them good for 4 oil changes. On the card it stated that you could exchange 2 of the oil changes for synthetic oil. After getting the run aound to actually make an appt to get my oil change I show up for my appt and state that I would like to have synthetic oil used. I was told "oh, they were supposed to have crossed that out" and was shown a card with that statement crossed out in black pen. I informed them that it wasnt crossed out on my card and felt they should honor it. Did not happen. Not only were they rude about it I was
