This business is quick to begin working on your vehicle. They began to diagnose my vehicle the morning after I dropped it off. They communicated with everyone in my family who was helping me pay and advising me with my vehicle. Thank you Jennica for the great customer service!

I am so pleased to have found this shop! I had driven to 2 other places prior (since those places did not anser the phone) only to discover they could not take me due to being very busy.I did a Google search and found this place. Called and immediately the phone was answered by Jim. He answered my questions and let me take my vehicle despite them being full. I felt safe leaving it and to my surprise, the problem was fixed free of charge shortly there after! Now that is honesty! Places like this deserve to be made known to others.I opted to get a tune up and oil change since they had already earned my trust. My vehicle was ready well before it was promised and for and extremely reasonable price.You should also try them for your car repair needs! You will be taken care of!

The first time we dealt with these guys we TOLD them the problem was a leaking head gasket. We were told after a few days of my car being at this shop, by Jim at the front desk, that it didnt need head gaskets,no leak was found, but it needed a catalytic converter, O2 sensor, and an air intake sensor. They only knew this because my check engine light told them. Which came out to over $1,000. I agree to the work, based on what I was told by you guys (NO LEAK FOUND). After the work was done, Jim calls back to say the car is ready but that they noticed a leak coming from the head gaskets! Thats what we originally brought it in for, we said! You quoted us over another $1,000 to fix our original request. After we hung up we came to pick up my car and talk to the owner Tracy Heal. I was upset but I did not become angry till your office manager Miss Jenica Mendoza SET that tone! By having the most Disrespectful, Unprofessional Customer Service, Ive EVER dealt with!! So of course, I used cuss words, havent you heard of the First Amendment? NO THREATS were ever made to your staff! Not surprised you would lie about that too. When the owner, finally came out to talk to my boyfriend he apologized for THEIR MISTAKES and offered not to charge us for the labor, for that day (which I still paid $904.99) and he gave us a discounted estimate on fixing the original problem for a future date. He assured us it was a little leak and we can drive it till we come up with $738.73 more dollars to fix their misdiagnosed. Well needless to say my car broke down on the highway, six weeks later. We towed my car back to you guys to honor your previous quote but surprise, surprise the price went up to $2,938 and we were told if the block separated during the labor we would still have to pay that amount. Thats when I mentioned going to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) about this scam. Who by the way had 5 other complaints on them with similar stories. Thats when you refuse to touch my car AGAIN. Please get your facts right so everyone can really see the details of the scam you pull. Do not tell people you can work on foreign cars when all you do is guess. By the way I got my whole engine replaced for half the price you were charging me to replace my gaskets! Your upset because you couldnt steal more of my money!!

I have been with Affortable Automotive for years now and I have been very satisfied with their work on all of my vehicles. Prices are not always on the low part but then again, German cars are not cheap to work on either. Overall, Tracy and his AAS team are very knowledgeable and nice to work with.

Review №11

Dishonest business and owner. Preys on females that have no knowledge of cars. Replaced parts that didnt need replacing and told my wife that maybe that would fix the problem. Charged $1,800.00 and returned the car to us as fixed.2 days went by and the problem was back.Then they wanted $2,000.00 dollars for head gasket work. A blind man can tell that it was A setup for A second round of repairs. Nobody takes A car to be maybe repaired but thats their position. They knew it was the head gasket right from the start and led my wife down A expensive rabbit hole Read further on the bad reviews and dont let the good ones fool you. I have slept on the owners response and stand by my review. He shouid not disrespect veterans like that

I took my car that at the time suspected that it had a blown gasket and i had them do a diagnostic and told me that the car needed a new engine. They always kept me informed of the situation and tried to find me an engine but with no luck. Very professional and i will take my good car to them if anything breaks 👍

This is my go to mechanic for all my repairs. Any problems with my vehicles, they always diagnose the problem and get it fixed. Long time customer. Highly recommend them.

Review №14

I would recommend this place to anyone! Knowledge and Costumer Service is best that Ive received from a mechanic shop. They do tests to make sure everything is going good and also to see if anything else is failing, plus they let you know every step of the way. I am more than happy they were able to bring my Mini Cooper (which is not easy to work on at all ) they brought it back to life. I almost dont trust on anyone else but these guys now. Favorite shop in El Paso for sure.

They took care of everything behind the check engine light and found other issues (a CV shaft that was coming apart) before they caused major damage. The repairs were timely, they discounted a lot of labor fees that would have been redundant, and their customer service was excellent.

This was my first time here. I was impressed with the large, clean work bays and plenty of room to work on vehicles.They worked on several issues with my Ford Explorer. They fixed the air conditioner, power windows, and brakes. More importantly, they diagnosed and fixed a starting issue with my vehicle that previous mechanics could not repair.I greatly appreciate their patience with my vehicle and perseverance in resolving my trucks issues.They truly care about their customers.Thank you again Affordable Automotive!!!Update:This auto shop works to satisfy their customers by performing quality work. I was having air conditioning problems. Tracy and his staff worked to get it fixed correctly. I am confident in their skills and thats why I keep returning.

Excellent work and even better customer service. I took my car in having no clue what was wrong with it and I was quickly reassured they would run a full check on the car. The service was fast and very reliable. They walked me through everything that was wrong with the vehicle and gave me honest opinions on the work that could be done. The price for the work was fair and the cars never been running better!I Would recommend Affordable Automotive to anyone needing work on their vehicle!

Review №24

I had the part and just needed a simple installation. They wanted too much money for a one hour job. Shopping around I got better prices each time until finally having the job done for half the price as well as free additional minor fixes. This is not the place to go to if you are on a budget. I can’t recommend this place.

Review №28

This place is a scam, the main guy Tracey knows how to screw people over for their money. Took my impala 2006 for simple overheating a few years back. They charged me a whole total of 2500 for something super simple and easy to fix.. everytime I would go and check for my vehicle they would always say it was something different .. DONT GO HERE PEOPLE.. scam scam

Over charge you. Whether its a super easy fix or not, they charge you per 30 minutes. And 1 minute equals 30 minutes. I got a battery terminal replaced which took a minute and got charged $40 (30 minute charge). Go down the road to The Shop Automotive Service for a fair price and great service.

Review №35

Reason of two star isnt because of bad service but because they tried to tell me I needed a full ac kit replacement because it seized up. Their customer service was good and they were polite, but they tried to get me to pay over 700 dollars to repair what I told them was issue in first place: ac belt replacement which was 15-20 for belt and 30-40 for labor. Now I didnt get work done by them because the repair was half the value I paid for the car, but I do know it was far from affordable Care and being told something wrong after their diagnostic was just in my opinion a rip off... not recommendable from my solo experience

Trying to get quotes and set up an appointment called 3 times receptionist keeps asking to call me back and they only seem to have one receptionist and she too busy to set an appointment or even answer a question. Please get more receptionist!!!! Also this place does not do appointments “because they are so busy” they told me to drop my car off at 8am and they will call me when it done. Wth i work at 5am. Definitely never going here. Smh.

My experience with Affordable Automotive was a complete nightmare. They overcharged us from the beginning but I figured it didn’t matter as long as they fix my car which they but they didn’t. I took it back to the shop 5 times and still they couldn’t find what was wrong with it but that didn’t stopped them from charging us $500 for absolutely nothing and each time we wen’t back they would ask us to leave the vehicle (sometimes for a few days) and every time we picked it up they would tell us about what they did to it but after a few miles of driving the same overheating would happen. The last time we went there for the same issue they wanted to charge us another $500 so we cut our loses and left with the exact same problem, they literally didn’t solve anything. I looked for the part my van needed online (they tried to charge me $250+tax for the part and I found it for $60) and searched a youtube tutorial on how to change it and what do you know, I fixed it in a few hours with no training whatsoever.In my opinion there are two scenarios, either they are extremely incompetent or they actually don’t really care about their business or their customers.

I have been bringing my 2005 F150 (140k miles) and my wifes 2006 Volvo here for a few years and remain impressed at their level of service. Tracy, the owner, has a no nonsense approach to business, there isnt a bunch of hidden items like you get nailed with at the dealership. Definitely recommend you give his shop a try, you wont be disappointed.

Review №42

I took my 2002 altima there because it wouldnt start. They told me that they would charge $95 for the diagnostic (and apply it towards the repairs if I decided to fix it there). In the end it came down to 2 possible issues and they told me that the dealership would have to look into it because only they could pinpoint the problem. They didnt charge me one single dollar and told me that since they couldnt tell me exactly what was wrong with the car they would not be charging me anything. Thats honesty right there! Definitely going back to them when my cars need service.

Review №45

I really feel I was conned into getting my car fixed which it still doesnt. They kept on adding more recommendations adding to a total of 9 thousand dollars. The front desk lady needs to learn to talk better to people. I was getting a little heated with her.I want to add to this since the owner responsed to this. Well if you want to get into authorization. You put spark plugs in I DIDNOT authorize Which totally contridic your statement. you didnt even attempted to call me about that which puts YOU in the wrong. Also I have 5 sheets of recommendation yes I kept them. When I didnt authorize, things start disappearing on my car. The total amount is 6k in recommendation. I did tell you a few times that things were missing and you were charging me for things your mechanics or whoever took.
