These guys definitely make me never want to go back to a big corporate car repair chain. They quoted me significantly less on multiple things from other car shops in the area. Super quick and transparent, regret not going there earlier.

After taking my vehicle with a weird intermittent issue to a franchise dealership and 2 shops, and being told they couldn't find any issues, I tried the local mechanic. They found the issues in minutes, fixed it in hours, and had it ready for me next day! I've been suffering for months, and I should had tried them long ago! Very knowledgeable people, easy going, honest, reliable, and not overpriced! Will definitely go back if ever need anything! Thanks guys! Enjoy the donuts!

I've taken three different cars to Astro over the last few years, and it is the best automotive shop I've ever dealt with. I had a tricky power steering problem, and Brian went to great lengths to identify the problem and fix it. Service: Engine repair

This is by far my favorite mechanic shop that I've ever been to. The owners went out of their way to explain to me everything that was wrong with my vehicle and everything that would be done to fix it (there were years worth of built up issues). They solved issues that two previous mechanics were not able to address/fix successfully, AND they charged less for the same services that I've paid 2-3x more for at other places. Also just truly kind and compassionate people that make you feel at ease and comfortable leaving your vehicle with them. I highly recommend!

I've been going to Astro for a few years, and they are the best around in my opinion. Especially with my having low knowledge of cars, they are always completely honest with me with any questions I have. Example is when I asked if I needed new tires, and they assured me I had another good six months left. I feel that I may have been told "yes" immediately other places to get more business. I just completely trust them. They are so professional, honest, and timely with every service.

Trustworthy and kind. They spent a bunch of time out of their busy days answering my questions and concerns. Although the issue with my car is a bit complicated, they helped with what they could and referred me to a nearby transmission specialist.
