Fast,effective service
Took my Honda CRV IN FOR Routine LOF the night before after Central Ave. Service center closed. Appointment made for 8:AM the next morning. At 8:59 that morning they texted that car was ready, and air filter not needed, saving me money. I could pick up anytime. Great service. It’s why I’ve kept returning there since they opened their doors many years ago.

Disappointed customer
I was disappointed not with the service but the dishonest people. When I called I specifically ask if this place took my warranty and explained what was wrong with my vehicle which possibly had to do with my transmission. I was told that they accepted it and make an appointment to get what I needed to be done for my vehicle. I thought it can all be done at this place. Come to find out I had to pay for a diagnostic service and got referred to take it somewhere else for the repairs I needed done, they couldn’t do which was for my transmission. Now I have to take my vehicle somewhere else and pay for another diagnostic test and actually get what needs to be done all in one place. This was a waste of time and money. When in actuality they could’ve told me that they don’t do any transmission repairs. I feel like I got lied to just for them to get paid and not do what actually needed to be done. If I had known the information they gave me before and not after they did the diagnosis I would’ve taken it somewhere else.
Richard G. from Central Avenue Service Center responded on 04/08/2025 08:11 AM

It’s disappointing to hear about your experience, and we completely understand your frustration. It sounds like there was a significant miscommunication on our part regarding what services we can provide, especially when it comes to those tricky transmission issues. We aim to help, not hinder, and it seems we've missed the mark here. The last thing we want is for you to feel like you've wasted your time or money. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will ensure it is used to improve our communication going forward so that no one else feels this way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, even if they aren’t the easiest to hear. We sincerely hope you find the right fit for your vehicle repairs.

Service
They were very helpful answering questions about leaks of various fluids. The mechanic explained and showed me what and where to check. I appreciated his help.
Richard G. from Central Avenue Service Center responded on 04/07/2025 08:18 AM

We’re glad to hear you found our team helpful with your fluid leak inquiry. It sounds like our mechanic provided a little show-and-tell, which is always more fun than just a plain explanation. We believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to car maintenance. If more questions pop up in the future, we’re just a call or visit away!

I got an oil change and tire rotation, and it was quick and they let me know the wear percentage of my break pads. Customer service is friendly and efficient

Excellent service, Got my car in and fixed quick
My Trailblazer had a water pump issue and they got me an appointment very quick. I towed my car in a day before my appointment and they started working on it that day. My car was fixed and ready to go within 24 hours of dropping it off. Very happy with my experience.
Richard G. from Central Avenue Service Center responded on 04/07/2025 08:17 AM

We're delighted to hear that your Trailblazer's water pump issue was resolved so quickly! It seems like we gave your car a swift pit stop in the fast lane. Our team always strives to get things running smoothly, and it's great to know we met your expectations this time. Here’s to many more happy miles ahead!

Keep on Trucking!
Had some custom work done on my 99 Toyota Tacoma. Installed 2 1/2 “ Lift kit including new front struts assemblies, rear shocks and spring shackles. New larger Rims and Mud tires were also installed. All work done exceeded my expectations.
I am very happy with the results.
Richard G. from Central Avenue Service Center responded on 04/07/2025 08:17 AM

Wow, it sounds like your 99 Toyota Tacoma is now ready to tackle any off-road adventure it encounters! A lift kit, new struts, and mud tires? You've essentially transformed it into the ultimate rugged vehicle. We're glad to hear the work exceeded your expectations—those bigger rims and enhancements surely added a great touch. If your Tacoma could talk, we suspect it would be singing its own praises right now! Wishing you many epic journeys ahead.

Always a blessing to have a car place being comfortable to deal with. Been going to them for the last 5 years. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Seems like everyone takes their vehicles there! So be ready to wait if needed because it seems they are often busy but the work is always good!
