If you need an honest, knowledgeable, friendly, reasonable Mechanic, this is the place too go. I have been saved by these guys two times in a year with two different issue. One of them several mechanics could not find the problem and I have an old Jeep.

We've been coming here for years. They do great, reliable work without dicking you around on the prices. And very reasonable prices to boot. They have chairs to wait in and free WiFi.

I took my 2001 toyota echo here about a year and a half ago and it was the WORST experience I have ever had with a garage.
Both my dads are mechanics, I grew up fixing VW bugs with them, so I'm aware when someone is trying to bull**** me to make some extra money on the assumption that as a woman I don't know anything.
I was pretty sure the timing chain had snapped, after calling around these guys agreed to do a diagnostic for $60.
Sweet, I have it towed there and drop it off. after TWO DAYS I get a call from the owner saying "yeah, there isn't any compression so it snapped and the engine is probably trash. It'll cost $2,500 to replace the engine, or we'll just buy it off you for $200"
uhmm what? After further conversations his 'diagnostic test' started to be "I tried to turn it on and looked under the hood". He finally admitted he didn't even check the timing chain! All the while continuing to try and buy it off me for $200.
I told him no and that I would have a tow truck come pick up the car, paying the $60 over the phone to his other employee (and the only other person in the shop). The owner then TURNS AWAY MY TOW TRUCK saying I never paid and was selling him the car! Furious, I call him and demand he release my car, he apologizes saying he didn't know it had been paid and thought I was going to sell it to him. Despite that the last time we spoke I TOLD HIM NO AGAIN.
I met the tow truck to make sure he wouldn't screw up anything again, and the whole time he tried to get me to sell it while being inappropriately familiar and sexist ("pretty girl like you doesn't want to deal with this headache, its not worth it. You can't fix it") I left and found a mutual friend mechanic who was willing to look at it for me.
The problem? a combination of a broken throttle and some starter issues. About $100 in parts and another $200 in labor.
I can't believe how slimy and dishonest this place was, to the point of trying to buy my perfectly fine car for a fraction of its worth (KB $2300) under the disguise that it needed a complete engine overhaul.
Stay FAR FAR away.

I took my 1980 cutlass supreme brougham to these guys a few days ago after visiting half a dozen or so shops and getting mixed answers and prices from each. These guys reassured me that they were gonna do a FULL and ACCURATE diagnostic on my car and give me a whole list of work that needs to be done (that's what I was looking for). They told me to call the next day and they'll let me know everything. I did and they kept ignoring my calls. They finally called back and said they need it for two more days and told me all the symptoms that I myself already told them. I called to confirm if I'll be charged more than the quote they gave me when I dropped off the car and the owner jumped from a-z and said "let's do a transmission service and go from there" no need to check out the whole car if the transmission won't improve after the service. Whatever, he sold the idea so good that it distracted me from my original request and what they said they would do for me. Picked up the car today and after a few hours and miles of driving, I'm now sitting on the side of the road because my transmission leaked all the fluids that was in it. I called Neil and he offered to pay for towing and to fix the issue ONLY if it was caused by their work. If caused by faulty parts it'll be my responsibility to pay for the tow and to fix the issue. Might I add that my car was in better shape when I left it with them compared to them giving it back to me. It's 90 degrees in the middle of rush hour traffic and he wants to send a tow truck 30+ miles to pick up my car and then bring it back another 30+ miles to his shop with no guarantees that they will fix the issue that THEY caused, I'm ok. Ill just never go there again. So this is my FULL and ACCURATE diagnostic on AURORA AUTO REPAIR. Have a nice day.

I went in here today to get my rear brake pads replaced. The price was about 50% of what I had been quoted at many other repair shops. It was fast, easy, and inexpensive. He didn't try to coax me into getting other work done as dealerships have done in the past. Will definitely continue going here.

I have been bringing my cars, my kids cars, my x-wife's car, and my employee's cars here for years. Honda-Mazda-CRV-Ford-Infinity-Hundai
Neil is the man I send my autoimpaired female friends and employees to so they will get a good job at a fair price. Which is what he gives them. This is High praise !!
Neil does the right job at a fair price, friendly and reliable. One of the best places in town.
I wish he could find a nicer location though. :-)
A good mechanic is a thing to behold.

I've gone to Neil on many occasions with my cars over the past 15 years. I've taken my Honda CRX, and now Civic to him to fix whenever there is an issue. He's speedy on service and just a good honest mechanic that knows what he's doing. I have no issues recommending him to my friends which I've done many times already...

This place is a hole-in-the-wall near the truck rental place HandyAndy's) not far from the Evergreen-Washelli cemetery. If I hadn't recently bought used tires from the other hole-in-the-wall next to it, I wouldn't have seen it.
I went in totally convinced that I needed front brake shoes replaced, and maybe rotors replaced or turned. I asked that they do what was necessary, and to give me a time-to-live on the rear brakes (guess what - I was extremely strapped for cash). Since I had bought the car used, I was basing that on the recent owner's guesses.
Turns out, they showed me that the rear brakes had hardly been worn at all, as they were not touching the drums, and the front brakes were not even halfway through their lifecycle. They adjusted the rear brakes -- I even have a parking/emergency brake working now -- and charged me less than their posted hourly rate. (total bill $30 plus tax)
They could have milked me. I authorized them to do work that I'm sure any other place would have taken advantage of. I would give them 5 stars, but this wasn't exactly a mechanical miracle, bet definitely honest competent service. As the 4-star caption says, "Yay! I'm a fan."

Honesty and integrity are a couple words that can describe the owner and his establishment. I have newer cars and would never take them to the over-priced dealer. Neil can do what the other can at half the cost due to low overhead. Would recommend to anyone looking to save $ on repairs.

Honest mechanic. I've been taking my Hondas to Neil for 10 years. He consistently does great work at fair prices. I do all the repairs on a couple old cars I own, but not the new computerized, fuel injected cars - too complicated. Since I understand automotive repair, I am sensitive to excessive quotes and overblown diagnoses. I won't take my car to a dealer ever. I bring my cars here. Finding a mechanic with integrity is a treasure to behold.

Just recently moved here from California so had to find a new mechanic for my 2001 VW Jetta. Awesome customer service had him replace my fuel system which was a reasonable price, but then two weeks later had another issue with my car had it towed there again, but this time he couldn't figure out the problem. He had my car for about a week doing almost everything he could to try and figure out the problem. Still no luck so he told me to have it towed to a authorized VW dealership to have them look at it. Well when i asked him how much it would cost because he had been working on my car for about a week he said no charge since he couldn't figure out the problem. 5/5 definitely would recommend him to anyone with minor car issues. Thank-you Neil.

College girl from out of town, my 'check engine' light turned on and honestly I just needed to know if it would get me home (500+ miles). The guy was polite, honest, kind, and even talked to my dad on the phone just to make sure everything was clear. Turned out to be a cheap problem and was in and out in a hour! 10/10

I have been bringing my Jeep to Neil for years. Never had to take it back a second time to have him re-fix anything. Also he has always fixed it in the scheduled time, plus is prices are very low, but the quality of work very high.
