Camarena's Auto Repair

We have had Ramiro repair our main car twice now, and he is very thorough, saves all the parts that he replaces, tells you exactly what he did, and doesn't do anything unnecessary. The first time we went to him was many years ago for an engine replacement, and the car ran great for all those years. Then recently we made the mistake of going to another shop for a small problem, since we had moved across town. That was a terrible mistake! They messed up so bad we didn't want them to try and fix it even if they did it for free. And, in addition, they tried to tell us that the transmission was bad afterwards too! So, we brought it back to Ramiro at Camarena's a few weeks ago and guess what? The transmission was fine! In fact, Ramiro fixed the jerky shifting problem right away, right in front of us in like 10 minutes and it shifted totally smooth. Then he fixed all the other real problems they had caused. more

I like Ramiro alot. He runs this small shop by himself. He explains my problems very clearly, and does what he says. He drives me home, and picks me up, though I live and work in walking distance. He concentrates on the important work on my older car. He goes out of his way to save me money by avoiding unneeded work, and finding used parts. I got fed up with the big, bureaucratic, shops, where you can hardly ever talk to the person who does the work. more

I found this guy because of the great reviews and he was close to my house. He is awesome! Good prices, very friendly, and knowledgeable. He looked at my wheel and noticed the alignment was off. I took it somewhere else to have it aligned and he was right. I use him as my main mechanic now even for oil changes. Highly recommended. Pros: Knowledgable, cheap, friendly Cons: Place is tucked away so hard to find more
