AutoTech Auto Repair

This place is great they gave me a ride home wile they work on my honda civic and they called me when it was ready and they picked me up then i get in my car and VICTOR had me a gift on my passenger seat a bottle of wine can you believe it…

Had an excellent experience. Dropped of my SUV with what I thought was a bad A/​C damper. They took it right in, ordered the part and quickly fixed it before end of day. I even forgot to leave my phone number and they tracked me down via email, which was awesome. Great experience and very professional.

GET A SECOND OPINION! Roberto tried to screw me, and charge me $ 1000 for 2 parts I didn’t even need. These people prey on the uninformed, and I am so happy I went to another shop to get a second opinion. The issue was my front brake pads, and they said nothing about them. I came back in to get my car after I canceled the order on what they were going to fix because it didn’t feel right, and Roberto wouldn’t even look at me. BUYER BEWARE. They will misdiagnose your vehicle, and try to take advantage of you.

people who wrote those reviews below are lying, my friend has a little problem with the brake light, he went there, the guy in the front desk, didn, t even see the car, he told him to leave the car for 2 hours and pay 175 $, then whatever missing he has to pay it after means that the cost maybe around 300 or maybe more. any way my friend took his car to another mechanic, he checked the car in less than 1 min, and told him you need a switch brake light, which cost 12 $…that, s it .i will never go there .same friend told me they were trying to charge him couple of hundred $ in a tight light, can you believe it… wooooooow …

THESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING!
So story time, I went to start my car (2001 Ford Taurus) yesterday and when I turned the key… nothing. No crank, no movement, nada. And I panicked because I need this stupid thing to run! I’m newer to the area and don’t really have a dedicated mechanic. I go to the almighty Google hoping to find someone to help. I’m feeling sufficiently screwed right now. I find these guys, AutoTech. They have great reviews and it says they can have a quote within an hour. PERFECT! I need help asap and my car isn’t moving alone.
I email and they actually respond within an hour, even better! I call, we talk details, and they offer to go look at my car roadside for a reasonable cost. I’m amazed. They look at it and being the stupid lemon my car is, it’s not the battery like I initially thought. They offer to tow it and take a closer look. I’m up a creek without a paddle now so I say yes and do whatever you can to get this rust-​bucket moving. They haul it off and take a look.
I get a call a few hours later that it’s the starter and it will be fixed by 6pm today. THE SAME DAY! They are so amazing (especially Victor, you’re still the best!). It runs better than it did before AND they offer a year warranty on the new starter they put in.
I’m truly grateful for the AMAZING service they provided. Everyone was personable and nice. The price was extremely reasonable and service was freaking fast! They seriously saved my butt. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AutoTech Auto Repair. Thank you so much!!!

I brought my car here for a winter tune-​up and it turned out it needed much more but the guys at the shop showed me why the brakes and tires needed replacing. I felt comfortable with their experience and never felt pressured. They were timely and courteous and I would use them again and recommend.

Just a quick but NECESSARY comment r.e. all the people that work at the Foster & Broadway AutoTech. They are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, attentive and a pleasure to do business with. I HIGHLY recommend them for any type of service. You will be treated like a VIP!!!

I just filled my tire with air the night before and the next day I see it is low again. I knew I must have had a slow leak. I don’t have a go-​to shop. I remember seeing this place once when I went to get gas. I pulled up, walked in and my first thought was the they were very professional, but yet personable. They took care of me within about 15 – 20 minutes. They charged me only $ 20 to fix the tire, although it was supposed to be $ 35 (they showed me the screen). I tried to give a tip, but they wouldn’t have it. I walked to the convenient store part of the gas station where you go to pay. The woman took care of me. She was friendly. She treated me like family. I asked her where my car was. She points out the window and as I’m turning around, another guy is pulling my car up. Wow. My mouth was open. Words can’t express how over-​the-​top my experience was here.

AutoTech is a solid neighborhood repair shop, which is co-​located with the recently remodeled BP station at Foster and Broadway. I live in the neighborhood, and besides getting gas there, they do a great job of fixing my seemingly bi-​monthly flat tires. They always do a quick, competent and inexpensive job.
Today, I had them servicing another slow leak, and they called and indicated that after checking the oil, it was black and asked if I wanted it changed. I asked them to check when it was last changed, and it was time. I confirmed that they had access to the correct parts, the car is an old low mileage Audi, and they said they did. I’m always leery of up selling, but I give them credit for asking. When I picked it up, after having them do the service, I confirmed that they used synthetic oil, and they replied «of course».
It saved me a trip to my independent shop who does all of the mechanical work on the car, and trusting they did a good job I’ll consider giving them more routine business in the future.

Completely magical experience from start to finish! Robert and Jose really took care of our Ford Fusion when the tie rod broke and the rack and pinion failed as well. Really fast service and quality work– it steers like a dream now. They even left us a present in the car (a bottle of bubbly):) class act gentlemen and we will be back! Thanks a million! Even better it is a #gayfriendlybusiness that supports the community with pride flags!

My wife and I work up one morning and my wife had a flat tire on her car. We were both in a rush, but we were able to handle everything together with just my car that day. When we came home, I knew I had to fix her flat because the next morning we needed both cars. However, it was 5pm in the evening. I put on the spare tire and I had no idea where to go that late in an evening. We decided to stop in here and see if they can help.
We walked in 5 minutes before they closed, but they were very friendly and fixed our tire. They also took the time to but the spare back for us. Most places would not be so friendly to help when you walk in 5 minutes before closing time.
And to top things off their price for fixing the tire was not outrageous. I would definitely use them again.

I see a light flash on my dash — instant panic because it’s Saturday afternoon. I’m not near home/​my mechanic so I jump on Unilocal and find them. Boom. 5 minutes later, Robert plugs the computer thing in to see what’s wrong. Nothing. He then informs me the check engine light isn’t on, and I point to the light that is on. He calmly says that is the light is for tire pressure. Whoops. I don’t know anything about cars. A minute later, his guy is putting air in my tires. All is well again and I realize how lucky I am that I found a very honest and available mechanic. I highly recommend them!!!

I took my car there for the first time this weeek. Awesome place! Robert was great! He was very helpful and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable leaving my car there. I brought my car in and it needed diagnostic testing to figure out what exactly was going on. They fixed the problem and in speedy time too! Robert informed me exactly what was wrong and the price before working on it. Very reasonable as well. Very reliable and I am definiately a customer for life. Thank you guys!

If could give more stars I would. This place beyond wow’d me! Went here on the recommendation of a friend who said she trusted them so when I had to have my car jumped twice beacuse it was dead, I took it here. Two things to know about me: 1) I know nothing about cars besides how to fill with gas. 2) I’ve only ever used car repair shops that others had used for years. However, living in the city going to my normal repair shop wasn’t ideal today. So I decided to try AutoTech.
The owner (Tony) welcomed me with warmly & asked what they could help with. Told him my woes & he explained (in normal people speak) what he thought could be wrong with the car in a way I (a non-​car girl) could «get». Got me in right away for a check & after a few minutes updated me on what was wrong/​what he’d do & the ballpark costs. Gave the approval & then was even offered a ride home!
The shop is welcoming (was even offered a piece of fruit in case I was hungry while waiting) and I really felt taken care of. No big upsells/add-in’s attempted (and I’m sure my car qualifies for many!)…just «here’s what’s wrong & what we can do to fix it.» Plus a few suggestions on how to avoid issues in the future. Everyone on the team seemed happy & helpful. Definately thrilled to have been recommended to go here!
FYI for anyone researching this place they will drive you home if your car is being fixed and then pick you up when it’s done! Also saw a sign that said they had WiFi if you wanted to wait. Would definately recommed you try them!

Autotech has been servicing my car and my partner’s car for about 5 years now. I have nothing but positive things to say regarding their pricing and customer service.
The first time I took my car here I thought there was something seriously wrong with it. Whenever I drove it I smelled a horrible burning smell and I was truly dreading what they would find. What they found was that my tailpipe bumped into something plastic and it lodged itself on to the tailpipe. The burning smell was melting plastic. They charged me nothing.
Since then I have been there several times. Work is always completed when promised and their pricing is reasonable. My partner started to bring his car here as well and was pleased that their prices were significantly more reasonable than the dealership.
Your first point of contact will probably be Robert, the manager. Robert, along with the rest of the staff, are professional and pleasant. I will continue to take my car here and encourage you to do the same.

Do not go here! I almost got screwed today. This place is very friendly and a block from my house and is so convenient for me. But, I will NEVER go back. Something certainly has broken down their work ethic. I Brought in my 2010 Honda Accord that I knew had brake issues at 25,300 miles. Due to the convenience, I was trying to avoid the dealer, Grossinger (formerly Carr’s) at Albion and Western thinking their union rates of $ 60+/hour labor would enlarge my bill. Robert at Autotech called me and quoted me $ 875 for a front and rear brake job plus all four rotors replaced, cabin and air filter. So then I called the dealer, not only did my transmission fluid need to be replaced that Autotech missed, the brake fluid needed to be flushed because it was contaminated, not to mention my rotors were FINE and just needed to be resurfaced, not replaced (BIG expense avoided). In the end, the dealer Grossinger was honest and we replaced the brake pads, resurfaced 2 of 4 rotors that really needed it, transmission flush, brake line flush, all new filters for $ 675. I learned my lesson!!! You should too.
I won’t discuss the 2001 Volkswagen Passat of mine they screwed up 4 years ago due to «trying to rebuild the engine» and after $ 3,000 never worked again! Stay AWAY!

Robert and his crew are the best and most reliable! He goes out of his way to help us. We both have agin vehicles and they always find a way to provide the very best service at an extremely reasonable price! Until we purchase new vehicles, we will be forever customers! AWESOME!

The team at Autotech is top notch. They are very customer focused and made me feel comfortable that they would do what I needed and were extremely knowledgeable. The renovations made to the station is high class and really welcomes hanging around and waiting for your car to be ready.
Tony, the owner, is a great guy and really focused on making sure you have a great experience. In the world where the auto repair is a dreaded experience, these guys make it the exact opposite of that.

I’ve been going here for 9 years now. They’ve always been genuine, friendly, quick, and generous. I’ve never had one bad customer service interaction. And they seem great at remembering and treating their valued return customers. I even found a bottle of champagne in my passenger seat the last time I picked up my car from being repaired. Class acts!

My car would not start this past weekend. So I called my usual mechanic and he was so busy, he said it would be 5 – 7 days before he could even look at.
So I thought I would try Mr. Auto Care — which I had read about. I called a company to tow the car in. I got a call with the estimate and authorized the repair. When the car was done, I went to Mr Auto care and they did not have my car. Come to find out, it was towed to the WRONG PLACE.
So I get to Auto Tech, they went over the pricing and the repairs and explained everything to me. THEY WERE VERY NICE. I dealt with 3 people there — everyone was so nice. How do often do you get that?
When I got in my car to drive away, there was bottle of champagne! And an envelope with a $ 20 off coupon and a scratch off lottery ticket! How nice was that!
I would highly recommenced this repair shop. Their prices seemed fair. MUCH CHEAPER than my dealer would have been. And the customer service was top notch. I LOVE great customer service. I don’t need my butt kissed. Just be nice. Just be friendly. Thats all I ask. 5 STARS here.
