Cedar Ave Repair

Alex and Terry are the best! Honest, trustworthy, nice people. Wish everyone was as great!

Can’t beat the service. Been going to them for years and it’s gotten to the point where I drop the keys off and tell them to call me when it’s done. They always call with an estimate and let me know, but they haven’t ever taken advantage of me yet, I doubt seriously they are going to start now. I hate dealing with car repairs, so I can’t say enough good things about Alex and Terry!

I had a smooth, friendly, and honest experience at Cedar Ave Repair. My side mirror was cracked when someone hit it while parked. The first shop I brought it to (which was recommended) told me that it was not possible to replace the glass only, that the entire mirror had to be replaced, and quoted $ 200 – 300. They were friendly and helpful, but when they never called me back about locating the part, I took my car to Cedar Ave for a quote on a second recommendation. I told the very welcoming mechanic (Alex) that I needed the mirror unit replaced (since this is what I assumed). After he stepped outside to inspect it, he informed me he could just replace the glass! For about $ 50 total AND he’d likely have the part by the next day. Was the first shop being dishonest or just ignorant? I don’t know, but this spoke volumes to me on the honest and ethical standards of C.A.R. I made an appointment for 7 a.m. on a weekday (thank god for their early hours!) and in the 25 minutes it took me to walk and get coffee, the Alex had the mirror fixed perfectly. It was so shiny it felt like looking through a window more than a mirror. I found Alex to be a stand-​up guy, very down-​to-​earth, who made me feel very comfortable.
On this sole experience only, I highly recommend Cedar Ave Repair.

When we moved into the neighborhood over 15 years ago and needed a mechanic, we took our car to Cedar Avenue Repair. They take care to get to know you and your vehicle’s needs. As a female, I have never felt taken advantage of or talked down to as other mechanics have done. While ownership changed several years ago, the quality and friendliness of Cedar Avenue did not changed. These are hard working guys who are extremely reasonable with the cost of repairs. If something is not in your budget, they will work to find a solution. It is not uncommon for them to let you know what the critical repair needs are and what can wait for 3 – 6 months. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for hardworking, capable, friendly and trustworthy mechanics.

This place is about half a mile from me, and only three blocks from my dogsitter, who has lived in the same house for decades and knows a lot about the neighborhood. I think she recommended them to me when I had a flat tire in the dead of winter. I had to have the car towed there, and the tow cost more than the tire repair. So when I needed a new windshield wiper I knew where to go. Very quick and very cheap and very friendly, they are everything you want in a car repair shop. I think I’ve found a keeper. Next stop, oil change.

Honest car care with super competitive prices. The staff are not only knowledgeable, they are helpful and polite. Highly recommend them to anyone with any vehicle needs.
