Joe, Javier, and the team did a fantastic job on the suspension of my 3rd gen 4runner! I got a thorough inspection, advice, and estimate for a nominal fee that went towards the work, and saved a bundle! They expertly installed my OEM supplied parts and will definitely be working with them for future work!

These guys are great! They quickly fixed some minor issues for a very reasonable price, I’d highly recommend them!

I brought two cars to this shop for wheel alignments. Unfortunately, the alignments weren’t done correctly on either vehicle, and I had to return for adjustments. Even after the second attempt, the alignments were still not right, and I noticed the seal boot for the tie rods wasn’t reinstalled. Given my experience, I can’t recommend this shop for wheel alignments.

This review is long overdue. I've taken my car to Automotive Guardian & Alignment a total of 4 times now within the last 4 years (for different reasons). Each time Joe, Javier & the rest of the team has always gone above & beyond. The past few times we've taken our car in, it was an issue that needed to be addressed right away. Our car was fixed within hours that same day & at a very reasonable price. I never once thought or felt like I could not trust Joe & his team to do the work that they do. It's hard to find trust worthy guys like them. You can definitely tell that they do, what they do from just being overall good guys. I truly appreciate them. I will continue to work with them & always recommend them to anyone needing any car work done. Joe, Javier & the rest of the team, thank you for everything!

So I just got done having them check my alignment. First I have to say Javier is so trustworthy, integrity like you don't see anymore. Very respectful. I had gone over a bump recently and could feel something wrong with my steering/alignment, not all the time. Javier checked it and nothing wrong. He did not strange tread wear on rear tire. Even though he found nothing, he agreed to drive it. Immediately said it looks like unbalanced tire. He's sending me to someone they work with to check my tires. A pleasant experience and nice surprise. I cannot recommend highly enough. Lime the secret mechanic everyone wants. Not sure what else they do. Side note, there was a delay for them to get there but the wait was more than worth it for my peace of mind. 10 out of 5 stars *edit * So, when I left, my weather floormats were missing, all 4. The kind that have lips to keep water off the floor. I thought about it. Not wanting to accuse anyone. And I won't. However I do have a suggestion. When I pulled in, a bit after 9. Javier wasn't there as I explained earlier. Jose, who I think is the caretaker, suggested I wait in the waiting room. I should have waited in my car. There's signs saying not responsible for lost or stolen property. I don't think either of them took them. But there are people walking around outside. Jose from what it seemed stayed in a corner of the shop and didn't have line of sight on my car. So in the 30 or more minutes I was in the waiting room anyone could have walked through the yard and taken my floor mats. So my suggestion is this, if your car isn't being worked on just stay with your car.

These guys are some honest workers who will do only the necessary work to keep costs down for you and get you on your way. If you need anything done and are in the area these guys are awesome.

Joe, Javier, and team are excellent. I highly recommend them for any of your car mechanic needs. They also have a body shop connected to them just in case you need body work! Much respect to them and the great work they do.

These guys are the real deal and as honest as they come. They won't sell you parts you don't need and will show you exactly what's going on with your car.

I came in with a nail in my tire and they were able to plug it within 10 minutes!

First impression I had was that everyone here was kind, honest, and fair. I hung out here for a few hours and did work in the waiting room and interacted with some of the staff. Alignment and tire prices were in line with what I researched online. Crazy this place only has four stars. It is the go-to place of another nearby shop for alignments and they are at like 4.8.

I had my car here for an emergency repair while traveling. 4 used tires and an alignment. I now have one completely flat tire and a tire pressure monitoring system error, within a week of having the services performed. The used tire, eh whatever, kinda is what it is. But the TPMS is aggravating. When I pulled out I got an alarm for tire pressure so I topped off all the tires and the alarm wouldn’t clear. I had to get back on the road. I checked every gas stop and pressure was fine. Now the TPMS is just throwing a system error that I’m going to have to fix. I will say the folks were nice and seemed cool, they got it done quick when I needed it. Just not really appreciating the damage to other components.

I made an appointment at Automotive Guardian for an oil change. They always do a great job No greasy fingerprints, No dirty footprints anywhere (many places leave at least one). No oil spots in my driveway either. The car runs smoother, like brand new!! I'll definitely return any time this vehicle needs service Thank you Automotive Guardian!!

They were very fast and professional! Checked my vehicle thoroughly and quoted me a fair and reasonable price for repairs! Will be coming back soon!

Nov 27, 2022
Wheel bearing replacement - these guys were very quick to diagnose the issue and I was in and out in an hour. Very friendly and efficient, will definitely be going here for future auto repairs. Also- I went to 2 other shops and they could not figure out the issue, this is the place to go. Thank you!

Done quickly, honest feedback about the car, good prices!
Nov 27, 2021
Great Service! They didn't go over the price that I was quoted for repairs to the A/C. The repairs were done in a timely manner. No complaints and I would definitely use them again if needed.
Nov 27, 2021
Great place to get work done on your vehicle. Reasonably priced work! Will be back.
Nov 27, 2021
Had a great experience with these guys working on my truck, will definitely use these guys again. They completely fixed suspension pointed out wore out parts that needed attention. Nowadays you can't trust mechanic but Guardian did me right. Took my wife's car in for oil change and tune up they are straight as a arrow. Thanks for all your hard work!!

Quickly and professionally diagnosed multiple issues on my 2006 Acura TL. Solved my vehicle shaking, loud engine noise and leaking oil issues in two days (including getting the parts delivered) by replacing engine mounts, timing & serpentine belts, valve gaskets etc. At about half the cost of what the dealership quoted me. I will definitely use their services again.
Nov 27, 2021
These guys were super fast! Also the work was very high quality! I got my vehicle aligned and no longer does my vehicle pull to the left or right anymore and I don’t have to blow through tires because the tires were down anymore! Thank you guys! I will definitely be back
Nov 27, 2021
They're very knowledgeable about every situation they're faced with. Very honest with speedy service. Would recommend to anyone!!!
Nov 27, 2021
