San Luis Obispo Auto Repair

We were on vacation in San Luis Obispo from Sacramento and suddenly developed a terrible metallic scraping noise coming from the right front wheel. It was late afternoon on Saturday and the Jeep dealer's service department was closed. A salesman at the Jeep dealer sent us to Villa Automotive. The service representative drove our car around the service bay and one of the mechanics ran over and said he knew exactly what the noise was. Just a week or two earlier a customer had come in with an acorn lodged in the brake rotors, and it made the same kind of noise. They put our car up on a rack and saw there was a small rock lodged in the brake rotors. They removed the rock, the noise stopped, all was well, and we continued our vacation. Most surprising of all, they didn't charge us a thing! Everyone there was absolutely great - friendly and knowledgeable. If we lived in San Luis Obispo, this would be the place we would have our cars worked on!!

I was happily surprised that I could walk in and get my smog certification done in about a half-hour. As always, the staff is pleasant and helpful.

Great service, very helpful and fast!

Extremely friendly and helpful, got me in right away. Very reasonable prices. I can see why they are in business for so long. I am so glad I came here and will be doing so from now on :)

Been using Villa for the last four years and have always had a good experience. Most of the low reviews seem to be more to do with the car than the service or people.

Quick and friendly service. They helped me right away and knew how best to take care of the issue.

VILLA AUTOMOTIVE PROVED THEIR TRUST WORTHINESS AND HONESTY, WHICH IS PARAMOUNT WHEN CHOOSING A MECHANIC. GOOD EXPERTISE, WILL RECOMMEND TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GOOD AUTO WORKSHOP.

John Villa personally knew my Dad from the KofC. It is my Dad's Ford TaurusGL 1996 that Villa Automotive has serviced twice now, once changing out my broken AC for a Bypass Pulley that I purchased myself a few blocks up on Marsh St at SLO (Napa) Auto Parts. John Rupert who did that work was recommended to me by a neighbor. This year I paid $52.56 for my 2013 Smog Check at Villa even after checking to find a somewhat lower price at a nearby Smog Station on Higuera St. There was a delay in the DMV getting that smog check info, reason unknown, so I picked up my DMV sticker at the local SLO DMV Office, showing the clerk my Smog Check print out. Just before that on the same afternoon a sheriff deputy, who stopped on Cuesta Grade, Hwy 101, StageCoach Road, had checked my license plate and was notified that my license sticker was expired. Since I showed Officer Adams my smog papers he just referred me to go to DMV on S. Higuera St. to show them the completed smog check print out. I did that on 02-13-2013 at DMV station 13, so I yelled out to everyone to I was going to bet on Number 13.
