I had such a great experience at Charlie & Ray’s Auto Repair. From the very first interaction, the front desk staff is ALWAYS super nice, friendly, and accommodating. They take the time to clearly explain what is recommended, what is needed, and what routine maintenance should be done on my car. What I really appreciate is that they don’t just explain everything — they also provide photos of what the mechanics find and send you a link to review and keep for your records. That level of transparency makes a huge difference. For me, it has always been hard to find a reliable auto repair shop that I can truly trust with my car. This is now my go-to shop and will be for the future. If you’re on the hunt for a great place, don’t hesitate — just give them a call. You’ll know from that very fi

My name is Paul. I didn't actually have any work work done at this shop but I will say that the guy Jim that I spoke to gave me valuable and honest information that saved me about $15,000 because of a loop hole i didn't know about Maxcare coverage from Camax. A tow truck driver ruined my transmission by towing my all wheel drive Infinity QX55 on 2 wheels. It basically destroyed my transmission and Jim was nice enough and honest with me to tell me that it's possible that the Maxcare coverage i have (that would normally replace my transmission) could possibly be voided and that would hold me responsible for the cost of a new or rebuilt Transmissioninstead of my Maxcare coverage paying for it... I was lucky because my car was still under the mileage for the manufacturer warranty to cover my

I was recommended by my coworker’s friend to Charlie and Ray’s, and figured I’d try them out. I had a ton of work done by them today—several mechanical issues I’d neglected/wasn’t aware of because I hadn’t had a regular mechanic in a while—and I had a great experience. James, Lisa, and Jim were all kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating, even going as far as to shuttle me while my car was being worked on. They did a tire repair for free for me as well, which was kind of them. The digital explanation of possible repairs and things needing fixed was very informative, and I’ve never come across that before. I really appreciated seeing what they saw, and they gave me the option of approving or denying each suggestion. I’ve definitely found my new mechanic, and would recommend them to everyo

I usually do my own work so I was nervous trying to find a shop around that didnt have a bad track record. I will say I am thoroughly impressed with my entire experience with this shop. They were quick to diagnose and repair what needed to be repaired. All for a pocket friendly price. The employees are very nice, honest, and easy to work with. As long as Charlie and Ray's is there they will be my go to for all my automotive needs. Highly recommend this place to anyone. They are thorough and know what they're doing. Save yourself the headache of trying to find a good shop in the area and just take it to charlie and rays. You wont be disappointed.
