Great shop!
The service was great, they got my car right in and checked it out, found it was working fine, called me at home and I came back down and picked it up, price was good, I’ll be back when it needs anything else checked out!

Great customer service
They looked at my car and honestly determined that they could not perform the job and referred me to another shop that would do the job for cheaper.
Richard G. from Central Avenue Service Center responded on 08/28/2025 09:21 AM

We appreciate your feedback and glad to hear you had a positive experience with us. It’s important to us that our customers receive the best service possible, even if it means referring them to another shop.

From front desk to mechanics- a great experience
This local, friendly budiness always delivers. I’ve taken several cars to them over the years and always re diced great work- I’ve never had to return for anything.
Can’t recommend them highly enough

Quick fix!
Excellent service. I had previous work done on my brakes and one of the parts was failing. The warranty had expired but because Rich had similar experience with this part failing from this particular company he took care of it. Parts replaced same day. Really appreciate it. Thx!!!
Richard G. from Central Avenue Service Center responded on 08/08/2025 10:46 AM

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! It's always nice to hear when our team goes above and beyond, even when warranties decide to play hard to get. We're glad Rich was able to jump in and help out with that part — he seems to have a sixth sense for brake troubles! Enjoy the peace of mind with your newly replaced parts, and we look forward to helping you out again in the future.

Central Ave Auto Repair
The mechanics were diligent on figuring out the issue with our Prius and we are very happy with their service. Best part, the cost of service was reasonable enough that we had hot wings and beers at Papawheelies! After picking up the car!

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!
