San Luis Obispo Auto Repair

Car broke down in SLO on a Friday afternoon (around 430pm) while on vacation with the family. Called AAA and they said the only shop around open on saturdays was Villa Automotive. I called around 5pm, and they said no problem, they'll take it in. I was thinking that they wouldn't even be able to look at it until Monday. Called Saturday morning and they (Frank) updated me along the way. Read the diagnostic code and found it was the crankshaft position sensor. They replaced it, cleared the code, and i picked up my car in less than 24 hrs since it broke down. Total was $344; i'm sure i could have read the code at my house w/ and OBD II reader and changed the sensor myself, but I didn't have either. I'm also sure that this is probably an easy fix 1-1.5 hrs labor, but i won't complain about that, since they were extremely accommodating in such a bind. Thanks again!

The staff was courteous and friendly. They took my vehicle in and returned it in a timely manner.

Rich & Crew did a great job on our van...thanks to you all !!

Excellent automotive service and personal customer care.

it all went well. the service writer was great!

Very efficient smog test

Outstanding - as per usual. Your reputation precedes you.

Nice and helpful. I did have to call back about one of the dash light warnings that was missed during service there. They were kind to encourage me back to take care of it right away - however time would not allow. The car wash was a real nice treat!

I was in the process of buying a used car and wanted to get a "Pre-Purchase Inspection" prior to buying it. I used Villa Automotive because I have had previous positive encounters with them in the past. They first inspected a car I wanted to buy from a Used Car Dealer in SLO, turned out the motor was leaking oil and spark plugs had never been changed by 116,00 miles. They felt that based on price, model and condition of the car it was not a wise purchase. The 2nd car I brought to Villa was privately owned, the car checked-out near perfect, they indicated this would be a good purchase based on price, model and condition of the car. These guys do a great job! They are always professional and do the job you ask them to. I would definitely recommend Villa Automotive and will use their services again in the future!!! P.S. I suggest to anyone buying a used car to take it here for a Pre-Purchase Inspection. After getting burned once on buying a used car, I will never again buy one without Villa Automotive inspecting it first!!
