Armando came recommended by my neighbor and I always feel like I am getting an honest mechanic when I bring my cars into his shop.

Armando is the man! So glad we found his shop. I've tried a couple other shops in the area including some one highly regarded shop. Experience at the other shops was definitely subpar. My son and I now bring our cars to Avilas and Armando does great work and charges us a fair price. Highly recommend you bring your vehicles here!

I called 2 local shops here in simi and they both said they wouldn't be able to look at my car the same day. "No availabilities until tomorrow or the next day" they said. I called avila and he said "I can look at it today. Just bring it in." So I did and not only did he look at it right away but it cost less than it would have at those other places. My car was having an electrical problem and I was afraid I might need a new alternator and those aren't cheap. Avila looked at it and saw the battery was good and the alternator was good but the cluster was messed up. So he took that out and fixed it up and it cost less than a hundred bucks on top of the diagnostics charge. If he wanted to screw me he could have said I needed a new alternator and rung me up for 500 to 1000 bucks and I would have been none the wiser. But he didn't. He saw the problem and fixed it and it took less than a day. Definite recommend.

My brake light mystery was solved by Avila's. Incredible research and diagnosis on what the possible problem was, and how to chase it down and fix it. I now have signals, emergency flashers, and most importantly my brake lights. Also replaced a headlight bulb that was out. Never could I have solved this without the guy who can read a Suburban's wiring diagram. Avila's can. Much Thanks!

This review will amaze you. So.... I made an appointment with Armando the owner my brakes seemed messed up on my 2013 Toyota RAV4. 8am I pull up, meet him, he looks at my car and tells me my brakes are fine!!! He explained what was going on and it did not effect my car or it's performance. He told me I didn't need any work done and I had another 8-10 k miles on my brakes! I drove in thinking I was looking at a decent expense and he sent me away and didn't charge me a dime!!! I'm a woman and NEVER have I felt good about going to do car repairs, as I have gotten taken advantage of before financial due to my lack of knowledge and trust. Huge thanks to Armando! Honest mechanic, cool guy, heart of gold on this man! I will be back for ALL my car needs in the future and have already referred anyone how has asked me! A gem like this doesn't come along often!!!

Not really happy with my experience. Charged me for an hour and after 20 minutes, tells me he can't fix the problem. Tried really hard to get me to commit to more time to solve the problem. Not happy at all!

Wow...where shall I begin? First of all, I called Armando Monday afternoon, he had me in the shop Tuesday morning at 8:00 to replace brake pads on my Mazda SUV. He was done by 9:00 and saved me a SUBSTANTIAL amount of money over what the Mazda dealer wanted for the same work. Great guy, honest, does good work at a VERY fair price. What more could you ask for? Give him a call, you will be glad you did!

Great guy. Will help you figure it out- not make up stuff and charge you for it. He has helped us with many mysterious car issues with different car brands. He'll warn you of any expensive work possibility but is happy to do what you can afford and save the big costs for when it's only necessary.
