This place is is dishonest in ...

This place is is dishonest in their dealings. I brought a car in for repairs. they were supposed to put dye in the air conditioner and find a leak. They couldn`t find it. it was empty in less than a day. So I got a can of refridgerant with dye at walmart, installed it, and noticed the compressoer was leaking around the pully. It must have been hard to see I was outside in my front yard with no light - they were insid... view moree a lighted shop building. The next part was a transmission replace. Low quote and high quote after calling for a price while I stood there $1100 - $1700 when I went to pay it was $2300. Intake manifold gasket replace. the high end price quote was $600 less than what they billed me for. Power steering pump hose was replaced when they were told not to perform the function. I was told it was leaking. I advised them that the line has a drip in it but I never added a drop to the reservoir in 4 years and it`s still full. In addition to replacement they charged the full labor rate even though they had to disconnect the line to remove the transmission. $300. when I went to pickup the care the bill was around $4500 my quote was about $2800 with the power steering repair which they were asked not to do. So actually the high end repair should have been about $2450 total. They called and advised the price was $600 higher on the transmission and also the manifold gasket. The manifold gasket was another $600? I could have bought a complete engines gasket set for $200at customers rates from a dealer. So I should have paid $3700 max. I will give the guy credit he smiled right in my face when he said he would give me a credit for the $400 worth of repairs he wasn`t authorized to do. Like I would ever use them again. I wasn`t angry I just wanted to show my wife how dishonest those folks were and gee it wasn`t hard. Also a long time friend worked there at the time so I didn`t want to put him in an akward situation. He later left because he noticed vehicles from friends having repairs performed that they didn`t need. One friend was there a week after a break inspection by my friend, he told them no need to worry over 80% of the pad on the front and about 70% on the back or about 40,000 miles left on them. The slick sales manager up front had them in the following week for a brake job.

great service

I bindly took my 2005 Tahoe for a new transmission. They did a great job, were speedy and super friendly. I would reccomend them for all types of service and feel good about bringing my car back for other repairs.

Great service and competative rates!

Great service and competative rates. I`ve used Central Ave Auto to perform service on three vehicles and highly recommend. They are professional, provide great details of what service will be and has been performed. They know what they are doing and do it well. I`ve never had any problems with any service. They are open M-F until 5pm. My only complaint, and it`s not a biggy is that I wish they had extended hour... view mores or were open on Sat
