I’m pleased to report on my great experiences with AE Motorsports. Yes, I own a used, and problematic vehicle, so it can be very intimidating for me to get repair work done. AE Motorsports has tackled my issues, and I really appreciate their support! Their team focused intently on diagnostic analyses, (which can require a load of detective work). They proceeded with needed repairs on a very timely basis, and communicated with me about all the details-fielding all of my questions. I felt comfortable knowing AE Motorsports wanted to discuss any concerns I had, and provide the extra care which takes the stress level way down. I highly recommend that you contact them if you need help!

Joe is a very good and knowledgeableEvery where Joe can save you a dollar and still get the job done right, he will do it. Joe will come in on his days off if he knows you need something in an emergency. Not many mechanics you can trust out there, but I would put my reputation on backing ace motor sports. Thanks again for the great work you did on my Jeep.

Absolutely incredible mechanic and local business! Very fair, honest and kind people. I have taken my Volvo XC70 here as well as a PT Cruiser. They turned around both cars quickly and they have performed great ever since. They also have helped the community when disaster has struck. Cannot say enough good things!

Had my x3 towed here and they where so fast and honest it was amazing I couldn’t have asked for a better place to taken my car. Loved the fact that they didn’t feel comfortable giving my car back until everything was working in tip top shape. Thank you so much ae Motorsport you guys are so amazing

Great, honest, helpful shop. Went here after the local Toyota dealership gave me a diagnostic on my 2002 Prius - said I needed a new gas tank. After working with AE it is clear that is not the case. Saved me $1000~, will be taking my car here going forward. Thanks guys!

Review №12

Was recommended this place by a friend to get an engine swap done on my Toyota. Brought in my Volkswagen first to check it out, was helped by Noah, asked for a downpipe install and oil change (brought my own oil and filter) and thats all I asked for. Was quoted $360 initially, then they called back and gave me some bs about my engine misfiring and I now needed coil packs which was going to run the price up to $752, but conveniently they couldnt recreate the misfire. I see on the invoice they charged me 2 hours for a 1.3 hour downpipe install, charged me for diagnostics I never asked for (I have my own code reading tablet they knew about) and they charged over %300 for the coil packs. To top it all off, they tell me they cant finish the exhaust install because I need a special exhaust sleeve, I buy the exhaust sleeve online and take it to a different shop a friend works at further away. That shop tells me not only was the sleeve not necessary, but AE Motorsports on purpose didnt install my exhaust right so I could come back in and they could charge me extra money. I went back to go over the invoice and was able to argue to the owner Jeremy who gave me $100 back out of the $215 reluctantly, but I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants HONEST work done on their vehicle. Learn from my mistake and do not come here. If these people think they can take advantage of you they will.

Jeremy and Pete were very helpful and thorough with a pre-purchase inspection. Not only did they take the time to explain the results of the inspection, but they did it in a way that was accessible to a first-time car buyer (me). They asked me what I was looking for in a new car and took the time to recommend some models that I could find in the market for my price range and also directed me to some car dealers that they trust and have worked with.

I have dropped my Subaru Legacy GT Limited 2005 for a turbocharger changing.Everything went well from the quote to the pick up.Pete and Jeremy at the office are really friendly and will welcome you as nicely as possible.They did everything to have everything less expensive as possible while still having the quality. The invoice was even less expensive than the cheapest quote they gave me before doing the job.They kept the turbocharger as I have asked to show it to me and explain me what was the problem. They will take time to take care of you more than just fix your car.I an really stoked by the service they gave me and my car.All the next service will be at AE motorsport for sure!

Exceptional service. My car broke down in Santa Cruz, they were able to get me in that day and fix the vehicle that day. They offered me several different options with different costs to repair the car and even pointed out some issues I was not aware of. Amongst the best experiences at a mechanic I have ever had.

I love these guys! They work on my car, fix it within estimate and seldom —only for parts, really —keep it for longer than they told me. Fair prices and highly skilled. My car is a bear to work on as well. 01 Audi Allroad,

Some of the best mechanics anywhere! Jeremy and his guys (and gals) are honest, hard working individuals who will not gauge you for your hard earned money. I have always felt that their estimates are honest and their pay is well earned. Thanks for taking care of my vehicles all this time gentlemen.

First of all, you cannot miss with this group of mechanics. They are sharp, and they care about your safety first and will give you the big picture story of what needs to be done to your car, as well as work with you on what is necessary Now and what can Wait! I have had the privilege of using their services for the past year and each time I am touched by their kindness and impressed by their professionalism. As a woman, its hard to know who to trust in the area of vehicles, but these guys are winners in my book.

AE Motorsport is a rare find for professional,expert assistance and advice, service repair for your vehicle. Ive been bringing our XC70 and XC90 to Jeremy Schmidt for over10 years. He always goes above and beyond to find the problem and to take care of it as economically as possible. The entire staff is always helpful and professional professional. I highly recommend AE Motorsport.

They are the best mechanics ever. Jeremy is super kind and knowledgable and his staff are funny and super into their work. I dont know very much about cars so its always super important to me to have a reliable and trust worthy mechanic wherever I live. A friend recommended me to AE motorsports and they have been keeping my Volvo 1999 V70 in excellent condition since 2014. Their pricing is super fair and they always explain what the issues are and which problems are more important to fix if money is tight. Thanks guys!
