Super nice people, Conner was at the front desk as well as another person but I didnt catch her name. Both were helpful. The shop couldnt repair my issue due to the manufacturer requiring specific tools. They did a safety inspection and didnt charge me for it or for the diagnostics since they couldnt perform the fix! Would highly recommend them, only thing that was a drawback besides not having my car fixed was waiting 3 hours for them to tell me they couldnt do anything. Not their fault tho. Otherwise everything was great!

Without question the best shop I have ever been in. The staff as a whole are incredibly helpful and their work is top notch. Prices are reasonable and theyll help you stay within your budget. Well never take our vehicles anywhere else, ever.

My Ford Explorer needed a new water pump which they did satisfactorily but they billed me for a full synthetic oil change but ....I had brought my own oil, thus it was a false charge on the bill. I called them on that error when I picked up the vehicle, they admitted the error and issued a Credit for $40 which I accepted and paid the bill. On the way home, the Battery indicator showed low so I investigated and found that the tech had failed to reinstall the connector to the alternator.That error should have been discovered on their test drive, not something that a customer should have to discover and correct.Since that time I have taken my business to a different shop and no longer wish to deal with Central so I went back and asked for a cash refund of my $40. The current Service Managers declined, saying that the owner will have to give permission but that he only stops by on occasion and that they didnt know when he would be available to OK the refund. Ill give them a couple of days for the owner to respond but I am expecting another song and dance in an attempt to avoid doing business right. (interaction date: 7/12/21)This is not a business that operates honestly from my experience in dealing with their Service Managers.Follow-on Edit.I stopped by the shop today, 7/23 and received the amount Credited at the time of bill paying as promised. I am satisfied with the outcome and thanking Owner for taking the time to respond.

Im a woman and I dont know much about cars, so I always used a dealer.However, while the Lexus dealers look polite at first glance, they are always arrogant and say something that makes me feel uneasy because I dont really understand the car. But in Central, that wasnt the case, it was kind and polite. I was impressed that the finished car was washed clean and vacuumed. I had a very good experience. At the same time, I think I should have come to Central sooner. Thank you very much.

Well rounded mechanic shop with great customer service. Ive used them for regular maintenance, pre-buy inspections, emergency break downs and never had a bad experience. Their free loaner cars have also been a lifesaver.

I just had my 2014 Jeep Wrangler serviced at this shop. I cant say enough about the professionalism and courtesy that I received throughout my experience! I was especially impressed by Eric who handled the interface of my repair, a check engine light displaying as well as other issues, from start to finish. Additionally, the follow up AFTER care from Blake. The entire experience was so refreshing and thorough, especially after enduring dealer service for years!! I HIGHLY recommend this shop for all of your service and repair needs. My Jeep is running so smoothly now!! Excellent!!

Review №16

Everyone here is extremely helpful and kind. Eric specifically worked on my car and gave me a comprehensive list of everything recommended with price breakdowns and urgency. He let me know what things to do to fix the issue and what should be my next maintenance to get done. He also washed my car right before I picked it up and was very communicative about every aspect of the process. They do not try to trick you into spending more money and dont pressure you into getting anything done that you cant afford at the time. My Mustang is running better now after their service than it was when I first bought it a year ago. I am genuinely extremely happy with the whole experience. Eric turned a scary process into an extremely comfortable one. Thank you guys so much.

Review №29

I have went here 2 times in hopes of establishing service long term. Sadly I must say after the 2nd visit and same issue, I am not confident. The first service about a year ago was for an oil change and a coolant light that kept coming on. They did oil change and told me there was no issue, however, the next day the coolant light came on and stayed on. When I called about the issue they told me that I could come back and waste more time. I trusted and went back a year later for my annual oil change and service, still expressing that the coolant light was on. This time I left with no concerns from them, however, coolant light still on and the system wasnt reset so it still says my car is over mileage for service! Doesnt leave me confident that the service was even done. Now I will have to take my car to Mercedes to get a diagnostic test of what has really been done. I called re the lights on the second visit and again they suggested that I waste more time coming back!

This place is awesome! Visit their webpage to make an appointment. I started taking my car here for service because the dealership was over charging me for my car servicing. This auto shop is fairly priced. They send you an electronic quote once your car has been evaluated and call you to discuss it.They can shuttle you back home or to work depending if the address is in the service area.All around a very good experience here.

Car looks fantastic! Better then when I bought it. I got the best interior detail package with the basic exterior wax for around 380. Well worth the money. I had dirt and dog hair and God knows what else inside my car. Now its spotless.They did have to keep my car an extra day but it was well worth it. I am very pleased with the job. Wish I did a before and after.

I spun out during the snow/ice mix in Jan. Im new to Kent, and my tow driver recommended Central Automotive. I called an asked if they had room to take my truck. Connor was sympathetic to the situation, and got me in same day. He even offered me a ride back home. The follow up during the repair was exceptional. I got follow up phone calls, and the inspection of the repairs needed digitally.If I ever have to get a repair again, Central will be my first choice, and Ill recommend to everyone.

I have been taking both my vehicles here for a couple years now for oil changes and other repairs. I recently had my daughters car in for new struts and had to return a couple months later for noise I heard. They explained the issue and took care of the repair!

This place did an amazing job! The inside of my car has never looked so clean, and they gave me some free attention on the outside as well, mainly near the wheels (they needed it). Ive already recommended them to a friend. A lot cheaper than I expected as well, less than $250. Id for sure go there again

AWESOME!!!!!! Konnor was outstanding and his customer service was impeccable. It is a breath of fresh air to know there are still a few honest auto repair shops out there!About a year ago, I performed a DIY repair to replace the heater coil and the air distribution box... Note to self: NOT the smartest idea for a weekend-warrior! After putting everything back together, the heater worked great but my traction control light inexplicably came on causing my cruise control not to work.After a year of scratching my head and pouring over every YouTube video known to man, I was resided to the fact that the culprit was most likely the ABS clock-spring, Steering-wheel Sensor, and/or a bad PCM - all of which would cost thousands of dollars to repair.With a long road trip looming ahead of me in the mountains of Eastern Washington, I decided to give Central Avenue Automotive a try. I met Konnor and explained my predicament. I told him that I was 100% certain that I knew what the problem was and that I had resided myself to the reality I was looking at a costly repair.As Connor drove my old Jeep into the garage bay, I sat there and waited nervously for the pending bad news. 15-minutes later, Konnor appeared from the shop with a smile on his face and said, Your Jeep is all done! As it turns out, one of the sensors needed to be reset... The total cost of the repair was $0!I would be remiss if I didnt also mention the technician (Howard) who performed the work on my vehicle... He was great! Howard picked up right where Konnor left off. He subsequently replaced my rear brakes (that had 97,000 miles on them), gave me a tune-up, changed the oil, and seemingly checked out every nut and bolt under the hood.From start to finish, this was hands-down the best auto shop experience I ever had!

I have never experienced such a bad repair shop in my life (as I was refer byAAA)It lost my lock lug nut and I needed BBB intervention to get the replacement from the company. In addition, it could not repair the battery issue which was repaired completely by another repair shop w/o problem.This shop does not have competent mechanics so that it is only qualified to do a simple repair like changing tires.

My experience with Central Ave Automotive was a very positive one. They got my vehicle a (2010 Land Rover LR4) right in and gave it a thorough diagnostic check of my air conditioning system and timing belt. Timing belt was reported to have no obvious issue and a leak was found in the air condition system. It was repaired and serviced. Total cost of my visit was $371.00.I would highly recommend this automotive repair shop to others.

Eric and Andrew were both extremely helpful and kind over the phone! The work the Techs performed was absolutely top notch. The prices are extremely competitive, and being knowledgeable in a wide variety of vehicle manufacturers is a huge plus!My absolute favorite part about Central Ave Automotive is the fact that any work they perform they catalog it with photographs! And then compile those photos into a sheet with explanations/details of the performed work and the problem they may have found if performing an inspection. They then email or text you a link to the file they created for your car.Highly, highly recommend Central Ave Automotive

I just picked up my car and could not be happier with the results. The support staff is always friendly and helpful and I never feel pressure from them to do more than is required. I hadnt had the car in for over a year, and they told me what needed to be done and nothing else. The car drives better than what it did when I first got it. It is a hard industry to find someone you trust in, but look no further. I would recommend Central Avenue Automotive to anyone!

Review №61

I can’t begin to say enough good things about this place!! The entire team is fantastic! We took our 2007 F-150 in with a few issues. A couple were very noticeable and one major issue that would take some work to replicate the issue. I’d done my research and shared with Lindsay(rock star) what I thought the issue was. And she was extremely knowledgeable. We had an after market warranty company that isn’t the greatest PRco, they can be difficult to work with and want a lot of information. However The Central team persisted and worked with me to get things covered. In the end we needed a new engine and they provided us with options and knowledge to make the best decision. They stuck to their timeline and 100% transparent with pricing. I was treated more than fair. From start to finish they made this process less stressful and even offered a loaner vehicle if needed. They will have our business for years to come. Thanks again Team you all are amazing!!

Normally don’t write reviews and this is the first time. Made an appointment for an oil change here because central avenue auto had good reviews. Dropped off car 9am for appointment. Called back around 11am for status and was told oil change has been performed but system is down. Came back at 12pm to find out that they couldn’t do the courtesy inspection. Total price for synthetic blend was 63.07. Charged me a 7 dollar disposal fee which they didn’t disclose on initial price. Was given 10 dollar coupon for my experience. Overall the did the job but I won’t be coming back here for an oil change in future.

Central Automotive may be the last honest mechanic out there! Being a female I have had my share of mechanics treat me as such, but not at Central. They are very respectful and are always helpful when it comes to my questions. They let me know right away whether or not they can be competitive on a service and give me the best price possible. They usually cant be beat. They help me plan for the future of my car and genuinely care about me as a loyal customer. They thoroughly inspect anything I may have concerns about. Theyre always great about scheduling as well.... never disappointed. When it comes to me and my vehicles they have a customer for life! Thanks to Jason and team for the best customer service in the business!

Thanks to the 50pt inspection and the complete transparency of the auto shop I wont be taking my business anywhere but here. First time i have ever seen an auto shop send you text alerts from the mechanic with a full analysis report detailing what they found wrong with the car along with pictures of everything that they say is wrong with the car. I had previously had all my belts and spark plugs changed at another auto shop only to find out from central automotive that they didnt do any work on my car and took my money. Central Automotive is FAIR, COURTEOUS, AND BY FAR THE MOST TRASPARENT AUTOSHOP I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! :)

I have a used car, I knew there were a few issues with it when I got it (used car) but I hadnt been able to get it looked at till this last week. The great staff at Central made this an easy experience when I called to set an appointment they worked within my schedule and asked if I would need a ride after dropping off my car. The person interacted with most was Lindsay who listened to the concerns I had about my car and asked if there was a budget I had repairs; the next day I had an inspection report with pictures, received an estimate for the work and I was able to prioritize the most important things first; while I have a few more things to get done the car (subaru outback) has never driven better while Ive owned.I will be returning and fully recommend Central Automotive.

I have been using Central Avenue Automotive for several years now. I dont typically give a five star rating, however Central Avenue Automotive is worthy of a five star rating. Their attention to detail, and costumer service is superb, the best in the business, they truly care about every costumer that walks through their doors. Central has repaired several cars for me over the course of many years. Most importantly they have repaired and done done routine maintenance on my childrens cars. Its such a comfort knowing my children are driving automobiles that have been serviced by a detail oriented mechanic, by the best! They have been able to keep our familys cars on the road for many years and countless miles. I would recommend Central Avenue Automotive to friends, family, coworkers and anyone who is in the need for automotive maintenance and repair, there is not a better choice!

My car had a few issues that made it kinda scary to drive. Had taken it to a different place before, they had it for a while, replaced some parts, said it was good to go and by the time I drove it home the issues were happening again. Did a google search and saw all the good reviews so I called Central Ave. Everyone was supper friendly, they understanding my attempts at explaining my cars issues, and made sure I understood what they were gonna do and charge before actually doing anything. They had my car for a few days, gave me their loaner car, no fees or charge, and when I got my car back it was even washed! Its been several days driving my car and its running perfectly, no issues whatsoever. If I ever need anything done, this is where Ill go and I recommend it to everybody I know.

What a beautiful job the people at Central Ave Automotive did in detailing my 2010 CRV Honda!!!! The interior looks and smells brand new! Such a helpful and professional crew.

This is my first experience with Central. I was visiting with Blake about an oil leak in my Toyota T-100. He took a look and while we were discussing how to fix it he noticed that the radiator was leaking a little and told me I should check it out. Later that same day, yes, the same day, my radiator cracked along the top and blew out!I called Blake right away and he helped me figure out what to do from there. He priced out the repair while I was waiting for the tow truck to come. He ordered the parts so they would be there first thing in the morning. They checked for any damage before the radiator was installed and then ran further tests before to make sure the engine was good shape before I had them repair the oil leak and a few other things.Blake and John and Jason called me for approvals before any work was started. They followed up with updates and estimated time of completion. They gave good, sound advice with options; very professional and straight forward. Had me on the road in record time, Straight shooters, reasonable prices, great service! What more can you ask? I highly recommend Blake, his staff and technicians!!

Extra Mile Excellence!My daughters car was been stolen, luckily it was recovered within 24 hours but the interior was a complete mess and desperately needed to be detailed. I looked at several detailing service online before choosing Central Automotive Inc. I choose them for two reasons.1, Prices are listed in neat little packages or as Ala Carte.2, Interior and Exterior services are separate, I could choose the Interior service on its own and not have to have both as one service which saved me a lot of money.I chose well.Finished product is Beautiful, so clean, smells so good. Im so impressed. My choice, reasonable and they did an Amazing job.Thank you so much.

Dont go there for general maintenance on a car. I spent about 1000 dollars for some transmission and brake fluid and tires. When I looked at the receipt it was about 330 for parts and almost 550 for labor. i could be wrong but I think thats a bit outrageous for price. Seeing how I know that they get mark up on price for parts ridiculous. Major issues I trust them but routine maintenance something is off. I also had a coil replaced in my Honda it came out to 700 dollars. No transmission drop were are talking about not even an hours worth of work.

Brought my truck in to get the heater fixed. I was given a quote stating the head gasket was blown and they highly recommended an engine replacement for $11,000. I took my truck to the local Ford dealer. Replaced my air mix actuator and flushed the coolant system. A year later and still going strong. Dont trust Central Automotive.

Jason was amazing and very honest. Hard to find that with a repair shop. My car was repaired and done well. Brought it in with a MASSIVE valve cover gasket leak. They repaired it and got me in fast. They also were honest in letting me know it’s time for a new car. And that shows how anyone can bring in a car and they won’t try to make you spend the money if it’s not worth it.

I contacted Central at 11am to let them know I needed a new set of tires. Within an hour I had an appointment time, and the work was done by the end of day. Very pleased with my experience.

I had my transmission replaced in my 08 accord and I had no issues after and were super quick to get it back to me and did a good job and took really good care of me when I got my tires replaced on my charger
