Andres Auto is the only shop to service my car. Luis, the owner, is always there and is extremely knowledgeable. He is always thorough in explaining the repairs that are performed on my car and to point out which repairs are vital and which are preventative maintenance. He's also great at identifying potential hazards (like the time Luis told me I would need new tires and sure enough, six months later, one of my front tires was on the verge of bursting, causing the whole car to shake--totally my fault, I chose not to get new tires when he suggested). Andres Auto is reasonably priced, a bargain really for the services they provide because they have rectified every problem I've had with my vehicle, even when it has stumped other mechanics; my car was shaking and I took it to two other shops, both of which told me that all I needed was a tune up. After two tune ups within a month, Andres Auto discovered that anti-freeze was leaking and suggested using a sealant to stop the leakage instead of replacing parts, which would have been about 3 times more expensive--I have not been to another auto shop since. Luis and his mechanics are great! More than competent, honest, and reasonably priced--everything one looks for in a mechanic.
Pros: Great mechanics, honest, reasonably priced
Cons: Loaner cars are always kind of dirty (but then, who else offers the convenience of free loaner cars?)
