I give 5***** Less than 10 degrees this morning. My car started "immediately." The radio works; I hear the turn signal as it flashes. The tail light work perfectly...My Car is repaired PERFECTLY and the key, glue hardened and it works perfectly; I am a satisfied customer.It was minus 2 degrees overnight. I did allow the car to idle about 10 minutes...Thank You Mr. Johnson...Happy New Year Again. Respectfully, Naomi Sharif

I had my car towed and alternator done in February. Fast, efficient, great service. They told me about my bearing (which I already knew), but also said I didn't have to get it done right away. I could drive on it a few more months. And I did. Just went back in May 15th 2012 for my muffler. It had rusted and the pipe split in half. They fixed it, my bearing, and an oil change for $220. The bearing alone, I had been quoted $250 every place I had called. Took 3 hours. They started work on my car right away and a great warranty. I love this shop.

Great mechanics showed me all my before and after stuff, showed me my new parts and showed me pictures of when the intake was removed, very very clean mechanics as far as work ethics . Would not go anywhere else. Thanks you guys for being a blessing to me

I came in to get my tires rotated, I had a 2pm appointment and did not leave until 4pm! The lady told me it only takes 20 minutes. She came back saying that my radiator was pushing up against my transmission, which is physically impossible, my tires had a crack in them and tried to charge $500 for new tires plus $10 for an inspection. My check engine light was on and I took it to my mechanic and it turned out that they had actually loosened my mass airflow sensor! You can visually see that the screw was loose and unclipped. My mechanic adjusted it and my check engine light went off. And it turned out my tires were fine it had a nail in ONE of them and just had to be SEALED which took two seconds and cost me $10 at another tire shop! I don’t even need new tires! Don’t let these ppl rip you off! They had ONE job and tried to sabotage my car to make a profit!

This shop is under new management and he is a real jerk. He talks alot and really fast and treats customers like their bumbling idiots. I use to always take my car to this location for service...but not anymore. After my oil change, my car smelled like it was burning. I took it back and he just raised the hood and looked at it and said "it smells like a regular car to me". Then he dropped the hood and walked away and started talking to someone else...treating me like I was garbage. The 'check engine light' came on that same night I went to work!!! I had another mechanic check it the next day......I was told I needed a tuneup. The thing is...I got a tuneup 6 months ago from this same CARX!!! When I called the manager and told him, he tried to say that they didn't give me a tuneup...he tried to talk his way out of it but it's right there in the computer. He's a real prick. Then he tried to say it could be anything...as if the other mechanic AND the OEM reading are inaccurate. DO NOT go to this Car X location. They're overpriced and the service sucks.

I went to Velasquez Mufflers & Brakes at the above location on Monday, July 23, 2018. VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY poor service. I waited 5 hours for them to look at my car. Five hours!!! I have a 2012 Hyundai Sonata I brought in because of a rattling noise in the suspension. Not only they made me wait for five hours, they falsified the information. They informed me I needed two lower control arms at $280.00 each and sway bar links, struts, and sway bar bushings which I had to purchase at the dealership. However; they were willing to replace the 2 lower controls arms which I later found out I did not need. Had a second opinion at Car X and was informed I needed new bolts and pins only. I am convinced that Velasquez Mufflers tried to rip me off! Needless to say, Car X is repairing my vehicle. By the way, Car X took only 3 !/2 hours to repair my vehicle, which included the wait time.
