Techniauto

Highly recommend this place. I found it through Unilocal while looking for a new mechanic after being frustrated with the experiences I’ve had at dealerships.
The guys here treat me like family and will go out of their way to make sure you’re satisfied.

My wife and I used Techniauto for about 3 years. Initially the service was very good, if not a bit expensive. However my last two experiences here have completely soured me on this shop and I recommend you look somewhere else for auto services.
On one occasion I got my car back only to find that the backlight on half of my dash display had stopped working. No small coincidence as they had replaced a fuse. Willing to let it slide because my other experiences had been decent, I took my car there again when I needed four new tires. There was a huge debacle in ordering the tires which delayed the much needed repair by about 4 days, and although my faith in their service was at this point wavering I still allowed them to perform the work. When I picked up the car this time my tire pressure indicator had been busted. The owner tried to tell me that it was coincidence and they refused to fix it. I paid the bill and left very angry, only to find when I got home that he charged me for additional work that wasn’t even done. It took three trips back and forth that afternoon to get everything resolved. My tire pressure indicator is still broken and it will cost me money and inconvenience to now have it repaired by a competent shop.
I promised them that they would be getting a very poor review on Unilocal,and although it took me a year to get around to writing it I am a man of my word. So here you go Techniauto. I hope I have persuaded a few potential customers to take their business elsewhere!
Avoid this business!

OK, prior to having any work done on my car, VW GTI, I exchanged emails and phone calls with Fernando to get a write up of everything that needed to be completed. First of all, he needed a deposit, which seemed really strange because I’ve never had to give anyone a deposit in order for them to work on any of the vehicles I’ve ever owned. He said that he needed to buy the parts with the amount he requested upfront. Meh, OK.
Some of the things that needed to be looked at: the AC wasn’t working properly, needed the catalytic converter looked at, and some other basic repairs that needed to be done, plus a tune up. It took longer than he said it would to complete the work, which was fine. I went out of town and when I got back, I stopped by to pay for the car. I wasn’t actually picking up the car until the next day. I used the Unilocal discount when I checked in, which was a nice surprise considering how much the work cost.
His son was working the desk, which brings me to this: His son doesn’t seem to know anything about vehicles or much about their system. I asked a few questions, but he couldn’t answer them. In my head, I almost had a mini-​freakout. The guy working on the cars came in and was able to answer my questions, apply the discount, take the payment, etc. Also, I never ACTUALLY met Fernando. He wasn’t in the office when I stopped by.
The guy who actually did the work on my car – sorry, I completely forget his name – told me that he would email me the information to get a catalytic converter for the car (which was one of my questions), but he never actually did. In fact, I emailed a couple of times requesting the best time to bring the car back for follow-​up work because the AC was still not working properly. It doesn’t seem that they even bothered to check for any issues (sensor, leaks, etc…) and they just emptied the freon (is it even called freon anymore??) and refilled it. Unfortunately, I’m still having issues with the AC. With my luck, the entire compressor is probably going to have to be changed out. Oh, and he didn’t charge me for the AC, so maybe they never emptied/​refilled it at all? To be perfectly honest, I’m not entirely certain.
I also wanted to have a few other things done that I did not have completed at the time I had everything else done, including having my tires changed (BJ’s took care of that for me). Anyway, I never received a response, so I gave up. I had hoped that I could bring my car back, however, I’m going to take my car to someone who is more reliable.
While, the work that was completed turned out OK, their customer service needs improvement. Sure, they’re friendly, but if you want customers to return, you should probably return their phone calls and answer their emails. I prefer supporting local businesses, but I most likely won’t return.

I have been bringing my car here for years and I always have an exceptional experience. Fernando has taken great care of me every time I have had a problem and continues to be my go to mechanic!

I had my oil change service done on my VW Passat TDI here and all I can say is that I felt like family. They did a great job. I dropped the car off in the morning and they gave me a ride to work. Came back in the evening and my car was finished. They even had my car washed and vacuumed. They guarantee their work for 12 months and are honest. They specialize in German cars (Audi, VW, and BMW) but can do work on any car. I will be coming here from now on. They are honest and about 20 to 30 percent cheaper then dealership. Thanks Techniauto!!!

Been bringing my car to Techniauto for a very long time. Fernando and the team always provide great service and great prices. Extremely knowledgable and always give great customer service. Highly recommend this place.

Fernando was very helpful in fixing my car. My car window wasn’t rolling up, and he fixed it that day without an appointment. He even dropped me off at the office, and took my car for a car wash. He is a very honest and competent mechanic, something which is hard to come by these days.

I took my car in for a service, i had been to many places trying to find a good deal, and when I came to this shop they were so helpful, explained what was wrong with my car so I could understand instead of using terms i couldn’t, very honest and get things done in a timely manner, I would definitely recommend this place!

So happy I brought my Audi here. Every time I bring it to the dealership for service they come up with 10 different things that need to be fixed or replaced. Their prices are ridiculous and 9 times out of 10 there’s really nothing wrong. Fernando was so honest and knowledgable about what was necessary, what was optional and what I could leave alone and I didn’t end up having to sign over my savings account in the process. This is the only place I’m bringing my car from now on.

had my Audi TT engine replaced here with a short block I provided. I have been experiencing oil leaks from around the turbo and oil pan since the install 3 years ago. The leaks are a result of unsupervised work being done by junior mechanics with no idea on the correct hardware to use. Nice try but an epic fail.

Fernando is the best. Specializes in Porsche VW and Audi but services my BMW and Wrangler. You will have a great experience

Extremely thorough! My daughter has a 20-​year old Toyota that had developed some issues that seemed potentially dangerous. With 200K+ on the engine, there was a lot to inspect. Lex was patient and so helpful going through each and every item, helping to determine what was most crucial for immediate repair and what could be done in the near future, making the repairs manageable for our small budget. The car feels almost brand new already (compared to before they did the work) so I know that once it’s complete this car will easily handle another 100K. Great work, guys!

Fernando is the best mechanic! My car was a mess and he left it like new. Breaks were fixed, something with the transmission, not too car savvy but I know it drives wonderfully. Thanks Fernando!!! ;)

I still can’t thank Fernando enough for what he did the other night for my daughter. I called Techniauto after hours because my daughter was stranded with a dead battery with no one to help her. (She did call AAA but when they showed up they didn’t have the right battery for her car). Fernando said he would call her and find out where she was and he would go there with a battery and his tools and take care of everything. At first I thought this was too good to be true but Fernando came through and went above and beyond to make sure her car was up and running. He told me the price up front and it was very reasonable. Such a lifesaver!
We were so lucky to have found such a kind, caring man that was able to help.
I highly recommend Techniauto.

I have 2008 AUDI A4 2.0
Fernando is the best!!! I first went to him in 2012 and he was very nice, honest and everything he promised he delivered for the best price. My car has been running great since.
I needed to get some work done on the car and I had no time to get it over to him, coincidently I got a call from his son yesterday (³⁄₁₂), asking me if i needed anything done on the car. I explained that I do but don’t have the time to drop it off and make arrangements plus I need the car by Thursday. So they offered to pick it up and drop it off before Thursday. (³⁄₁₃) Fernando just dropped off the car and everything is completed as promised I am so pleased by this that if there is anyone that deserves a good review its this place. Finding an honest good mechanic is hard I am so glad that I finally found one that cares about the customer. I am here for the long run and I will recommend Techniauto to anyone who is looking for an honest and knowledgeable mechanic.

I don’t usually write reviews but felt compelled to do so on this occasion.
I dropped my 2004 Audi A6 off with these guys yesterday. It needed a service and I also had 3 – 4 issues I was aware off, including leaking oil and a broken CV seal.
Fernando got all my issues fixed and did the service for 900. In the past, I have always used Champion — they are good but very expensive — I would have paid over 2k I’m sure.
I recently tried German Auto World — which is much closer to me. I did not feel at all comfortable with the work they did, or the attitude of their staff.
Fernando has just gained a new customer. Would highly recommend him to anyone that wants their Audi to be properly cared for but doesn’t want to be ripped off in the process.

I’ve been so impressed with these folks that I brought my scooter in for a service and they did an excellent job. highly recommended.

Fernando is just about the only honest mechanic i ever met. I recently brought my Jetta in for servicing of the master cylinder and radiator fan. After that i brought my Audi in for servicing. He is up front with pricing and not pushy. He explains other maintenance items that may be needed and provides an estimate. He even dropped me to my office. I now have a trusted adviser for my vehicles.
Thank you

Great service at a fair price. Fernando came in within $ 25 of his estimate, in performing a 65,000 mile service on my 2006 Audi. Fernando will be calling my extended warranty company and hooking me up with a rental car, so that I may have two repairs performed. If you want to be treated as a valued customer and get excellent service with fair pricing, then Techniauto is the shop to bring your automobile.

I highly recommend Techni Auto to anyone who has an Audi. Fernando, the owner of TechniAuto is a certified Audi Master Technician and is awesome! He & his staff were very accommodating for the 2.5 days they worked on my car. They provided door to door service, picking up my car & dropping it off to me at my office each day so as to not inconvenience me more than necessary. I am very satisfied wlthe service I received & thought you should know about them too! Please «Like» their fb page & give them a try.
