Good service and ok prices.

«READ BEFORE GOING TO TONNY’S AUTO REPAIR.»
I’ve been to Tonny’s Auto Repair twice and the first time I’ went (11/​12/​2015) there it went pretty smoothly (Replace front two rotors and install the brake pads that I brought). Price was high but Creg seem very generous and trustworthy. I thought I finally found the right guy to take my car to. Integrity means a lot to me and it’s very hard to find a honest mechanic nowadays.
2^nd time I’ve been there was yesterday (1÷6÷2016). Btw, Happy New Years everyone!
I couldn’t pass smog on my vehicle so I decided to take it to Tonny’s to get it checked out. The code I kept getting was «P0171/​P0174». Creg told me I had to replace my «MAF-​Mass Air Flow Sensor and my Air Filter».
The funniest thing starts now. He told me over the phone that I had to replace my MAF in order to clear out my engine light and to pass the smog check. He told me I had to replace it with the OEM from the dealership which will cost me $ 154.00 for Denso MAF. Also, he decided to just replace the air filter and charged me extra $ 20.00 without asking for my permission. (I had an air filter at home which I bought it before and it’s super easy to replace.) Anyways, extra $ 20 wasn’t the issue.
I picked up my car around 4pm and the total came up to be $ 262.48. Price was very high but I just paid because Creg was the one who handled my car. I trust him with my car so I just left.
When I went back to my office parking spot, I notice something weird on the receipt. Instead of installing Denso MAF OEM from the dealership like Creg said to me, they installed «AUTO ZONE-​Duralast New-​DL-​3000» which is $ 80.99. I thought the receipt was wrong so I decided to open up my hood and check it out. It clear said, «DL-​3000».
I decided to call back and ask them what happened. The lady in the front desk told me she will talk to Creg and get back to me the next morning. Afterward, she called again and left me a message saying Creg «Accidentally» installed the wrong one and told me to come over the next day to install the correct one. Accidents happen so I decided to go in the morning and get it replaced.
I don’t know much about cars and I decided to check on Youtube «How to replace MAF» before I went. I felt so stupid after seeing the 1min video… Literally had to unscrew two screw that was attached to the air filter… Took less than 5 min to try taking it off. Creg charged me $ 75.00 labor fee for 5 min job.
When I was heading over there today, I received a call from Creg. I told him that I would just keep the DL-​3000 and asked him to pay me back the difference. He then told me he couldn’t do that and he had to replace it with the Denso. He kept telling me that he ordered the wrong one from the «Dealership» and he would need to get the Denso to replace it.
DL-​3000 is NOT SOLD by the dealership. It’s only sold by AUTO ZONE and I even went over to the AUTO ZONE that is located right next to Tonny’s repair. The employees there knew exactly who Creg was because he went there all the time to buy parts.
Honestly money is not the issue. Dishonesty and trying to lie to a customer face is what got me mad. He intentionally did try to sell Auto Zone part and he kept lying that he ordered the wrong one from the dealership…
Plus, I asked for my full money back and he said he would still had to charge me for labor fee… Freaken ridiculous… He intentionally puts the wrong one and ask me for the labor fee as well when it takes less than 5 min to unscrew two screw…
Anyways, I’ve learned my lesson not to trust too easily and ALWAYS check online and take the parts in for any repair. Hopefully Creg didn’t do this to all his customers but I’m definitely not going there again.
Creg, if you’re reading this post, please please please don’t do this to other customers to make extra buck. If you want loyal customers, you can’t do shady things like this to make extra cash. Keep the $ 262.48 and wish you the best. I regret passing out your business card to my co-​workers.

Update again:
³⁄₃ — Craig and his team NEVER fail to impress me. They are always very quick with their work, tell you in full detail what needs to be fixed, keeps constant contact to keep you up-​to-​date and of course, fair pricing as usual.
$ 400 for two new axles and an oil change.
I love these guys! My car is nice, quiet and smooth again :)
Haven’t even talked to them in like 9 months and they still remembered me, even over the phone.

First of all, you cant beat their pricing, simply the best you can get and i inquired to at least 5 shops around my area; And you cant beat the professionalism these people shows you, met the owner himself. So good service and reasonable pricing, what more can you ask for.

This review is waaay overdue as I’ve been bringing all my vehicles and referring all my friends here for years! Tony and his staff are amazing! Craig has got to be the best, most honest auto mechanic I’ve met. There has never been a job that he hasn’t been able to fix (and being an owner of several BMW’s, the list is endless from electrical to mechanical). Not only that, the labor he charges for all his work is incredibly low. I’ve even asked once how he does business with such a small margin of profit. Craig replied that superior, honest, efficient maintenance has always been the business motto. And with the constant business from returning customers and referrals, high labor costs and mark-​ups aren’t needed.
Well it’s definitely true. There is never a slow day at Tonny’s, and for good reason too!
Another great thing I must mention is the full auto-​body and paint shops they have in addition to their maintenance bays. Last year they completely rebuilt my friend’s car which was totalled in a wreck. It looked and ran like new when they were done!
Look no further than Tonny’s for maintenance or auto-​body repair!

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Tonnys auto and body. The job you did on my Ford escape is amazing I love it. For the longest time I wanted to get a new paint job for my vehicle and it took a little fender bender for me to go and finally do it. I had got A couple of estimates and when I walked into Tonny’s I knew that’s where I wanted to go his estimate was great he’s an awesome guy his staff was friendly and it was very convenient and hassle free. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends and family. Thank you Tony for giving me a brand-​new car to step into every day. You guys are the best. Thank you for the amazing paint job and body work on my car and for your excellent customer service

Don’t trust this guy. tony will talk nice in the beginning but at the end he will charge you more. He’s very arrogant and even yelled at me. he didn’t finish the job that he supposed to be and make me pay for the full price. Mickey mouse job

1^st time customer. Brought truck in thinking the clutch was toast. Craig checked it out and determined that I only needed to replace the clutch master and slave cylinders, which ended up saving me money. I recently moved and was seeking a new trusty repair shop to take my vehicles, and I think I’ve found the place.

This place does EVERYTHING! From Engine, transmission to even a body shop. Im glad Unilocal helped me find Tony’s repair shop. I called Tony’s for a timing belt job on my 91 Honda and Sandra in the front office gave me a pretty good quote compared to other shops. Well later that day I decided just to go in and talk to someone in person. As I’m looking for someone to talk to a gentleman approached me and ask me what he can do for me. I explained to him what my car was doing and he knew exactly what it needed. He tells me he will charge me his labor and I could bring my own parts. It didn’t even dawn on me that this was tony! He sends me to the receptionist «Sandra» and she remembered I had called earlier that day. So after Tony’s labor charge and Sandra getting the best deal on parts it was still $ 100 less than the already low price I was quoted on the phone! Tony was honest, kind and down to earth. I’ll be bringing my Honda here for any future mechanical repairs it might need! And who knows maybe even paint and body work! Lol Thanks Tony!
All in all I definitely recommend Tony’s repair shop to anyone. As soon as I left Tony’s that day I called up a friend that also is having car trouble, to let him know Tony is just a call away!

Amazing service! Will definitely come back for future car service. Honest and professional! Received a discount on break pads service

I called the shop and explained that my car engine light was on and that my car was idling roughly. Was told to bring it in. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly greeted by Craig. He explained that he would have to diagnose the problem. He informed me of the findings, and explained what the car would need. He sat down with me and explained the different scenarios. My car was repaired I. About two hours. And I must say I have never felt more satisfied with service and feel this business is run with honesty and integrity. I now have a new mechanic for my car. Thank you Craig for your professionalism and honesty.

Brought my 350z here for some maintenace and this place is by far the best auto repair shop i have ever ran into.
My nissan was wobbling alot and making a loud «clunk» sound, brought it in and they let me know what the issue was right away.
ended up replacing, lower control arsm, ball joints, tie rods inner and outer, and an alignment, all for a good price.
they work fast and you can have youre car back as soon as the next day if not that same day depending on what they have to do or if they are busy.
they showed me the parts they swapped out before and after they took them off which right away let me know they are honest about they’re job.
other places change out parts and dont even tell you until its too late, but at tony’s they were honest from the moment i walked in.
tony the owner is very friendly and funny, deifintely recommend this auto repair shop to anyone who needs theyre car up n running perfectly. they are bilingual and overall great service.
this is my #1 stop for all my car maintenance from now on.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.
happy to have my Z running like a champ again!

friendly and honest people… i been coming here on and off for a few years now to service my car. the work they do is great and they will let you know what needs to be done before it breaks or goes bad. i am just glad to have found an honest place that i trust to have them work on my car. not like other places where they change stuff out and not tell you about it until you get the bill… but over all i think they are great!!!

Best!
