Professional and accommodating. Figured out the problem and fixed it perfectly. Receptionist is awesome. Evan did a great job on my car and communicated with me before taking action. Love these guys. They don’t know it yet but they are now my go-to mechanics. I would highly recommend!!!

If I could give 0 stars I would, Earlier in the year my a/c went out and I took it to this company to figure out what was wrong with it. Without consulting me first and giving me price ranges, as a college student, i was furious to find out they did worked on my vehicle and it came to 300 dollars just to recharge my a/c. Didn’t even fix the problem , i’m out of 300 and back to having warm ac. I will not recommend or return to this establishment.

It’s really sad when you believe you can trust somebody, and it’s proven to be a farce. My husband I and met Evan back on 2016, or 2017. We were two young 20-somethings, with two small kids, and a problematic mini van. Well, a $1,200 frame welding turned into almost $7,000 in work, only for the van to end up going anyways. It was disappointing, but sometimes these things happen. I cannot say either way what was, or wasn’t wrong, with the van. But every time we got it back, it seemed to be worse and need more work. Maybe it was a true coincidence, but things that followed, and other reviews on here; have me really questioning. After the mini van incident we got two much more reliable cars, and my husband being the handy man he is learned to do brakes, oil changes and basic maintainence himself. It was, and it, so helpful to us during our current economic climate. So now, all we’ve ever really needed from Evan in the last few years was emissions, inspections and maybe an odd or in repair. No more major money drops like the van which once caused us turmoil and strife. Which leads up to this review. My husband had to get a warranted engine replacement. While in the shop, they did an inspection, noticing he was due for one. They returned with papers saying he needed new brakes and rotors, and a headlight bulb, to pass. All which he then did on his own, and contacted Evan for his inspection. Evan proceeded to call him and told him he would need two link pins replaced, at the sum of $68 each, so $140ish dollars. When my husband proceeded to tell him he already had it inspected at the dealer, they never mentioned that and he had a physical list, Evan’s whole demeanor changed. He got short, dismissive and dare I even say disgruntled. He told him the dealer probably missed it, which is highly unlikely. If anyone’s ever taken their car to a dealership, they are all about making their money, and also about safety and standards and mostly importantly, reputation. Because at the end of the day, our good name, and reputation is really are we have, right? After my husband pointing out the glaring flaw in Evans argument, and trying to call him out, Evan pretended to get on the phone and talk to somebody. When my husband said he lost a customer his reception told him “so you’re only one person.” And the next person is only one person, and so is the next, until there are no more customers left. And this is only one review, but yet there seem to be a few weaving a similar tale. Choose what you may, do what you want, but I’d proceed with caution. I may only be one person, but a light shed in the dark can show whole horizon. Only one person. Only one reputation. Heed warning.

Evan is the best mechanic I've ever had. He gets quality work done efficiently at a very reasonable rate. Take your car to him & you won't be disappointed.

Honest, Knowledgeable, Efficient & Fair. Evan and his team there are truly top notch. From all the standard auto stuff to solving a complicated issue others couldn't. They are true professionals that treat you like family. I found them through a recommendation and it is a privilege to recommend them to others. Old school quality small local shop.

*Update - After a few years, I started questioning Evan's honesty. I would have times where I would spend several hundred dollars on repairs just to have to return the next day for several hundred more dollars in repairs because the car is acting even worse than it used to. Inspection time roles around and he wanted to replace a control arm. A small part of it was broken, but instead of replacing the part he wanted to replace the whole thing. I grew tired of this over pricing and drove took it to a friend who is a teacher at an automotive tech school. The part was not broken at all and it passed inspection as is. Evan wanted to charge me $1,400 for parts and labor for a part that did not need replaced. Every time you visit ER, he will find something "wrong" with your car. He even tries to charge up charge when you just need an oil change! You can see my original review below. I used to trust him, but I was very wrong. I've used this garage for several years now. Whenever we have an emergency Evan always fixes us up as fast as possible. I seem him working in the garage late at night on many nights. I think it's difficult to find a good garage, but we sure are lucky that he is here in Avalon. I highly recommend.

Had 2 19” tires mounted on my Camaro yesterday. Fast, friendly, and honest service which is unmatched elsewhere. I will be going back to ER Automotive for every future tire service. 5 star.

Honest. Efficient. Communicative. Quality work. Fair price. What more can you ask for?

Let me just say Evan the owner boss. Is the most trustworthy mechanic I think I’ve ever met. He is beyond fair with his pricing. He fixed my car in a day and half and it was a lot of work. Evan and his men are excellent workers. I’m telling you know he’s my go to mechanic from now on! And one thing I can say is he’s totally honest when it comes to your vehicle… totally worth more than 5 stars. Evan can’t thank you enough for your work. You are the man my friend!

They got my truck in asap since my AC wasn't working. It was a simple recharge at a reasonable price. He easily could have tried to say I needed a condenser or something major. Glad to find an honest mechanic. Highly recommend.
