Great service
Rich and his staff are great. Super friendly, honest. They get the job done when they say they're going to and at a fair price. Plus you can't help but love keeping your business local.

Don’t go there!
$170 down the drain for one hour work by a kid that was a dummy in mechanics. A simple code, but he didn’t follow up on that. He screwed around with my car for an hour now my car is worse than ever. It barely starts. He screwed it up Won’t give you all the details waste of time. Will Yelp them too!

Fast and Efficient Standard LOF on Diesel pickup
I set up appointment to bring pickup in at 1:00. I said I'd wait in the office for service to be completed. Within 55 minutes, I was back on the. road, the LOF and strandard overall check of vehicle completed. Always great service. Its the primary reason I've been going there for most services and repairs on my vehicles for last 30 years.
Richard G. from Central Avenue Service Center responded on 06/17/2025 10:03 AM

We appreciate the shout-out for our speedy service! It's great to hear that we had you back on the road faster than your coffee can cool down. We're glad to be a part of your vehicle's journey—here's to many more miles together.

Vehicle Inspection
With my vehicle having more than 180K miles, I wanted to get a comprehensive inspection done. Once finished, it gave me greater piece of mind especially if making a long drive. Definitely my go to source for auto work!

We're glad to hear that our comprehensive inspection gave you peace of mind before hitting the open road! With a trusty vehicle like yours, it's always better to be safe than stranded on a long trip.

Thanks, Central! Estimate accurate, no grief!
Auto maintenance a necessary expense, so I appreciate care and understanding, and a shop that delivers accurate estimates, like Central Auto does for me. Happy camper.

Great service with very understanding people
After my transmission blew out I had my car towed here. Once they determined that the transmission should be rebuilt or replaced, they allowed me to keep my car on their property for free until I was able to tow it away a few weeks later. They also generously waived the inspection fee. If I have future mechanic needs I will absolutely be returning, and I will definitely be recommending these guys to my friends.
