Very friendly, fast service. I called the day before to confirm a specific service for an Aston Martin. Came in the following day without an appt. And they took our car and performed the service very promptly. I definitely recommend this place!

I can't say enough great things about this place! My ex-boyfriend was tired of doing the maintenance on my car so he sent me to Ryan at Allied Gardens Automotive. Ryan, Matt and the crew are amazing and always take such good care of me and my 2008 Scion. They are straightforward, honest and always take the time to explain what is going on with my car so I never feel like I am being taken advantage of - which happens often to females at automotive places. Not only are these guys trustworthy but their customer service is unpar... read more

I spoke with Ryan about my 1982 TOYOTA PICKUP 22R engine possibly being off a tooth at the chain. To make a long story short, they had my truck 5 days, but they found the problem, notified me of the situation, and fixed my truck. My ignition timing is now spot on, and the truck runs GREAT! What more could you ask for?? They put in a brand new distributor, and a new valve cover gasket. They also gave me a VERY REASONABLE BILL. And last but not least, they took EXCELLENT care of my old truck. I don't even have to wash it!! Now... read more

I brought my car in for an oil change and to have the spark plugs replaced; Ryan looked up the service history and made sure we took care of a few additional issues. So, Ryan and team were great, I was even able to have a loaner car for the day and my car was done when promised.

Knowledgeable, honest, trustworthy, dependable. When it comes to service and affordability ALLIED GARDENS AUTOMOTIVE has this in spades. They have been repairing and keeping my family's vehicles on the road for more than 3 years now. They have never given me any reason to pause nor presented any unanticipated charges. They're honorable and direct in their business practices. The auto techs are well trained and skilled and are happy to take time to educate their customers and explain repairs in detail. Shockingly, I think the... read more

If you need to get an oil change, Allied Gardens Automotive is the best place to go. Took my car here 4 times and Ryan and his team did an awesome job in providing the best service. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. I always try to support local businesses and this I must say is a reputable one. Check them out!!

I took my car into get it smoged. It did not pass. They ran a diagnosis check on it and said that it needed two cadalic converters. Then we took it to another mechanic and it only needed so gaskets! They were trying to same us out of $1400.00!!! Do not go to these people! scammers and crooks!!!

Business response:

Debbie H. you have the wrong shop! lol, we did not smog your car we have not had a failure for converters in over 10 months. Can you check your information and make necessary corrections? I sent you my phone number to call me to confirm you never came here with your car. Please direct your reviews to the shop that made the mistake, We don't conduct business like this as our plenty of other 5 STAR review show!

Very friendly staff. Made an appointment at 11 for oil change and it took an hour and 15 minutes to get done. Legit the longest oil change of my life. Ryan was super nice though, so no complaint on that end. Just wish it was faster.

Business response:

Kate V. we completed your oil change approx. 20 min after you dropped off your car and went across the street to grab lunch. When we found you needed an air filter and cabin filter we tried to call you but you didn't answer. We left the air filter out of your car so you could see how dirty it was, but when you came to pick up and told us not to replace it, it just took a minute or two to put it back in and un-rack your car and pull it out. That's why it seemed that the service took so long. Our service in our bays matches th... read more

Completely trustworthy business run by an outstanding individual. Matt and his team have worked on my cars for almost ten years now. I would never go anywhere else. If there is something they can't do, they have a reputable contact who can. They even have a loner car for emergencies if you need it.
