“BEST IN THE VALLEY!! Affordable, quick, honest, friendly, understanding. That is how I would describe West Valley Auto Repair.”
“Jake is very honest, upfront and easy to deal with. Pricing is fair and much more affordable than other shops.”
“I heard grinding when I braked. Googled brakes near me, this shop had great reviews. Drove in, he showed me what the issue was gave me a quote and had my car read early next morning.”
“After he replaced the stop light switch in my car, he made sure it actually fixed the problem and when he saw it hadn’t, he replaced it again which got it fixed.”
“I went in for an oil change and they topped up my windshield fluid for free. They addressed any additional questions I had and didn't try to sell me any unnecessary things, and got the oil change done within 20 minutes.”
