As always Allen and his team of mechanics did a amazing job working on my car. I like the fact that when I told Allen what I needed to be done to my car he listened and instead of like other mechanics or the dealership he said ok but he was going to inspect everything and call me and let me know what needed to be fixed. Allen also takes the time to explain stuff to you and gives you updates. I always feel comfortable bringing my car here cause I know everything will be done right.
Thanks again Allen and your team of mechanics

As always, Certified Auto Repair was Excellent-+++ in a semi-emergency situation with our car. My wife and I just returned from an extended trip to find the car would not start . . . no transportation. I called Certified and they were willing to take me that very afternoon. I got the car started with a jump and, even late on a Friday, they installed a new battery . . . and checked fluids, tires etc, before sending me home. We are very grateful to Alan and the whole Certified team for getting us back on the road. Thank you.

Honest, friendly and affordable auto repair services.
Allen and Edwin will always fully explain the services needed and will never try to sell you anything that is not necessary. This shop is a great alternative to high priced dealer services.

Allen & Edwin are very friendly, polite and time conscious for "waiters". They are very informative during the process of the service. I have been a very satisfied customer for many years.

I've been going to Certified Auto Repair Specialist for Acura repairs for about a decade, and I am really glad to have found them. I first tried them because they are near to my work place, but I have kept coming back because they have been great, with both old cars and new ones. Allen and Edwin and their team are knowledgeable, honest, effective, considerate of the customer, and great at explaining the repairs that are needed. If there's a problem, they are straightforward about what they are finding and how they are diagnosing it, and they have always come through for me with my cars. I only wish they were open on weekends too, but I am extremely happy with all my interactions with them over the years.

Always a pleasant experience when dealing with Allen at Certified Auto Repair Specialist.
I needed a replacement starter and they did a great job at almost half the cost of a GM Dealer Service.
Quick installation with an OEM replacement part, not a cheap aftermarket product.
Highly recommended for honest and reasonably priced auto repairs.
5 stars RODGER L Verified customer
As always, Allen and Edwin provide 7-star service. Their troubleshooting abilities are spot on. Though, there are shops very near my location, the 25-mile trip to Edwin and Allen is always worth it. Been with them for over 15 years.
