This review is way overdue. I have taken a few of my cars here to get fixed and I can say this is the best shop in the Modesto area hands down. It has been a real pleasure to work with both Alvaro and Ron. They are highly skilled mechanics with alot knowledge plus I appreciate their honesty. They were able to fix my BMW at a fraction of the price compared to other shops and they also helped with installing my wheels - they definitely went above and beyond and would highly recommend.

I was stuck on the side of the road around 6pm. Jason from Valley European pulled over to offer assistance. Since it is an American car, he called his boss to tell him the symptoms. His boss knew IMMEDIATELY what the issue was (vapor lock in the gas tank). I just took off the gas cap and it fired right up. So, not only did they help me for free after hours, he was extremely knowledgeable! If they are willing to work on this 62 ford falcon, they may have a customer for life 😀Follow up 8/25/2021: Ron ended up working on my Falcon to get it ready for the Graffiti cruise. Unfortunately he was under-staffed so it took a while, but the work he did was the cleanest I have seen by any mechanics in the area. He took care to do a clean install on everything he touched, removing ugly patch jobs done by other mechanics. I definitely have found a mechanic that I will return to in the future (and he has hired more staff so turn around should be great now).

Very impressed!They do what they say theyll do, and put the customer first.Highest recommendations

I dont normally write reviews but i was compelled to do so on behalf of Valley European Auto. The customer service is outstanding, Ron and his crew went above and beyond to complete repairs on my vehicle and on time! I am very happy to finally find a shop where I can bring my vehicles, and have trust that the work will be done right and at a high quality. Nice to see a company that takes pride in their workmanship and giving their customers great service at a fair price. Thank You!

Our experience at Valley European Automotive was awesome. They did major engine repair on our vehicle in a professional, quality way with a fast turn around. Ron and his staff are amazing! It was a pleasure to work with an honest shop. Vehicle is running great. Would high recommend Ron and his team.

Professional mechanics spotless clean car bays very comfortable waiting area. My car has never run better. I will recommend Valley European to everyone that I know.

I know the owner of this place and he has treated me fairly and honestly for a long time (from before he opened his own business: Valley European). I have a rare Volvo C30 2.0 that I would ONLY trust with someone knowledgeable, skilled, and honest. I used to be the President of the Nor Cal chapter of the Volvo Club of American. I know a good auto specialist and I can say without a doubt that I will be coming here from now on!

Great customer service as soon as your there friendly and honest was happy I made the choice to have them look over my car when other shops said they couldnt help or have the right tools

The best experience I have ever had with car repair. Went the extra mile to make my car drivable.

Best place in Modesto 👍👍 if you want your car fixed right with fair pricing look no further!!! Thanks bunches for the care you gave my car👍

Honest, on time and friendly!!! Its hard to find a decent repair service, especially one that you trust. I am so glad I found Lance and his team. I feel like they are always honest and have never to wait too long for the repair or that I have been ripped off (my oil change is $40 less here than at the jiffy lube I used to use....and since I have to have it done once a month because of my job I really appreciate the price difference). Keep up the good work!!

My family has been bringing our vehicles to Kansas Avenue even before the current owner moved to his present location and over the years we have received nothing but the best service. To say Ralph (the owner)is knowledgeable about his craft would be an understatement. Add integrity and honesty to this description and you can see who you are dealing with when you truly need expert ( foreign or domestic automotive help.To put it simply everyone at this business “CARES!!!”

Great price and super fast.

I should have read the previous one starReview before sending my wife in for an oil change. The owners name is Ralph and he personally hung up on me after a 2 minute phone call that nobody was yelling or upset.I simply asked the OWNER of the business if he was aware what the average price for an oil change is. He hung up the phone immediately. We live in a world of untrustworthy trades taking hard working peoples money every day. Unfortunately this is yet another business model that doesnt care about its customers. 77 dollar oil change for a basic SUV is the most expensive oil change Ive ever heard of hands down, and Ive lived all over the country . Its pretty sad to think I would have gotten a better deal if I went instead of my wife. Nobody deserves to be disrespected over mechanical work.I hope this helps someone looking for honesty, and integrity

Absolutely amazing service, from the quality of their service to the vast knowledge that they have. I am 100% satisfied. I felt like part of the family. They make sure you leave with your vehicle in perfect running condition. They go above and beyond to make sure nothing is wrong with your vehicle. They are extremely honorable and explain everything in great detail and even show you your bad parts once they have been replaced. Could not have asked for better service. I highly recommend this auto repair shop!

Excellent service! Ralph was very clear and informative. They located the issues, fixed them and had me back on the road by the end of the day. I will without a doubt be using them for any future problems and recommend them highly.

I took my truck in to get it looked over before taking it on a road trip. They look the truck over called me and we very detailed about what they had found and what they needed to do to fix the issues. No big words, they are very honest and even told me about issues that they found but I didnt need to take care of right now. They are very customer service oriented.

You wont find a more qualified, or honest shop in the area. Ralph & Pat are incredibly knowledgeable, and aim to do the job right the first time. I live in the Bay Area, but if one of our cars needs anything more than an oil change, we bring them here. You wont be disappointed.

Kansas Avenue Auto the best place around. I have been going there for 25 years and Im never disappointed. Thanks Ralph your the best

Oil Change - Dependable and reasonable pricing - the best mechanics in town! All our familys vehicles have been taken care of at Kansas Avenue Auto Center for many years. Trust this business with your vehicle, you wont be sorry!

Have been a client for decades always good service and they look out for your pocketbook as well

By far one of the best places to bring your car for service. Ralph is very knowledgeable and if there is something he is unsure on he will not hesitate to call someone who will know. He prefers to fix things right the first time rather then do the minimum and hope nothing goes wrong later on. Quotes are very resalable and detailed. You might be able to get the job done for less, but I can assure you it will be done by someone with less knowledge and possible poor quality parts are re-using parts that should not be re-used. When I have something done from Kansas Auto, I KNOW that the job was done right. It does not matter if you have a simple stock Chevy truck or a custom Porsche, Kansas Auto can get the job done or point you in the best direction to get it done.

Terrible customer service! After I mentioned being quoted for a cheaper price he literally handed me the keys and said have a good day . Theres a better way to walk away from a deal than that! If nonnegotiable, then at least tell me why I should go with you rather than any other company...This was the owner and being a company owner myself, this was a horrible way to handle the situation. Ive never had such a bad experience like this! Cherry popped Do not take your vehicle here. Im going to stick with ken at Transmatic. Ive never wanted nor have I taken the time to write a bad review, so this should at least give you some insight. P.S over the phone the phone call was great sold me there. In person, completely different...

We have had two of our vehicles worked on at Kansas avenue Auto Center and have found them to be very honest, and knowledgeable, in finding and repairing the problem. We wish them a Happy and Healthy New Year 2015 Thank You The Reims

As an elderly lady I feel very fortunate to have found Kansas Ave Auto Center. Ive gone there for a number of years and they do super work and are great people to deal with. Call Ralph at 575-3366. Signed by D. M. Mellor.

Very, very fast quality service for half the price the dealer on Sisk Road was gonna charge me.

Always great service and very through.

Ralph is amazing
