Ive been patronizing George Brugos since the 80s and hes always been a professional. George has always hired very knowledgeable employees and they take very good care of your vehicle. Prices are very reasonable and I trust that Brugos Automotive will be here for a very long time to come.

Really casual guy, good mechanics, cheaper than anywhere else Ive found and actually gets your problems fixed. They are really thorough and let me know about issues with my car that I didnt know and get it fixed promptly. Also really good at communication and letting you know whats going on with your car, and explaining issues.

I read the reviews and felt comfortable taking my truck here instead of the dealer. I figured I would save some money and get quality service. I had a lot of maintenance work done, paid just over 1,300 for the work performed. I got the truck back and the next day the check engine light comes on. I take it back and they tell me my bank 1 catalytic converter is bad. They clear the code and say to run the truck hard and fast, might clear the code. Come to find out that if a fuel treatment isnt done correctly, this happens. I take it back and they tell me I have to change my catalytic converter. I hate to think that something was done wrong that led to the check engine light, but all seems to indicate that they did. Now to change the catalytic converter I have to pay $1,500. Not a happy customer.Dave

Im from Indianapolis and was having some transmission issues on my way home from Chicago. The gentleman that answered the phone was knowledgeable, courteous, and was able to advise on my situation. If I have one thing to say it is Thank You!!

I took my car to them fearing it would be an ungodly expensive repair, the man who I dealt with, George I believe his name was, he was very honest and very helpful. It turned out that my fears were for naught and what I thought was going to cost me a fortune was a minor problem that they were able to fix quickly. I greatly appreciated not being taken advantage of simply because I know nothing about car repair, they didnt try to pad the bill or slip in a bunch of hidden fees. It was good to deal with a reputable company like this.

GREAT service. I called to get brake repair done and instead of telling me to come in and charging me hundreds of dollars George told me how to fix it myself. He did offer to work on the car for a reasonable rate if I cant resolve the problems myself. Instead of a mechanic thinking WOMEN i will take all her money he treated me with respect. Dont find that in many places. I will be taking my car to him for sure.

George from Brugos went out of his way to help out with solid common sense advice when a recall on my Buick was issued about 7 months or so after Brugos had already repaired it. Much appreciated.

I had my Jeep towed here after it wouldnt start. I talked with the owner (George) and explained my problem. He offered to get my vehicle towed and promised he would diagnose the problem, and discuss it with me, before he went any further. Shortly after he received my vehicle I got a call from George telling me my starter had failed, but he could have me back on the road within a few hours, and offered to use genuine factory parts. I was a little reluctant at first when I heard how much it would cost, so I told him I would call him right back. I then called the dealership I purchased the Jeep from, to see how much it would cost to have the repair done there. To my surprise they were significantly higher and did not offer the same warranty. I called George back and told him to go ahead, then to call me when the repair was done. When I arrived, George went over all the details, and even showed me the starter that had junked out on me. I also met the mechanic that worked on my Jeep, who was more than happy to go over the work he had done.So, all that to say this. Was I happy my baby broke down? Not at all. But George and his team were honest, upfront, and did nothing but try to ensure I was happy with the outcome. Which I 100% was.

I have known Mr. Brugos since I was 18 and he use to work on my dads car and mine and he was always up front. He never had any reason to lie. Sure sometimes the repairs might be expensive but hes worth it! Theres only 2 mechanics I trust. One my uncle whose a master mechanic but unfortunately he lives in California and Mr. B is the second. Oh, and almost forgot about Simon too. Hes another mechanic I trust but Mr. B is definitely a very cool guy who knows cars. Thanks Mr. B! In case you dont recognize my married name. Im Guadalupe Servins daughter.

This is an amazing, family place for automotive help. George n Rich helped me out, answered my questions, gave me advice, took their time doing things right, but were also quick to do the job. A++ rating for those who dont want to get ripped off, and who want to be treated fairly. This is my new mechanic and if you come in, im sure they will be yours too!

I had a horrible experience with this place! They really get over on women. I had a transmission that was rebuilt ( done March 2014) that cost me over $2400. By June of 2015 my transmission went out again. The warranty only covered 1 year. The owner then told me for repairs itll be $1400 for repairs again. I took the car to another mechanic, who told me that my old transmission had never been taken out! Brugos really got me for my money, dont be a victim!!
