My muffler and pipe was hanging to ground. Took car out there by 7:15am and waited till they opened at 8am. Its first come first serve there. I was second to be served. They fixed everything in an hour. Was a reasonable price and I was out of there. Vere nice and professional people. Good work!!
They use to be a great place to take your car, not anymore. I was told it would be 1-hour wait for an oil change, filters change, and to look over the brakes. It took them 3 hours to get the car done and they did not even look at the brakes!The people there now are rude and act like youre bothering them when you walk in and let them know what you need to be done to your car. If you look at all the positive reviews most are from years ago when they were amazing.If you want to wait hours upon hours for a 15-minute job or be treated like you are bothering them then this is our place, if not then I would stay away.
Arrived at 9am on a Friday, put it on the lift as soon as I got there. Price was fair and cheaper than the competition. I was quoted for a tailpipe and muffler from another shop. Velasquez only needed to replace muffler. They dont try to do more work than needed. Ill be coming back and referring them to others. Quick service!
They are not a complete auto facility. They don’t even diagnose the problem properly.My car literally sat for a whole week before they even looked at it then they tried telling me I needed a new motor. I took it to butita brothers and they said it was the starter not the motor, and that the motor was fine. Do not recommend them. Extremely unprofessional and they don’t seem to know a thing about anything other than brakes. They need to change their sign from complete auto to just brakes. They just want money but they don’t realize they are ruining their reputation.
Took many return trips to repair brakes. Barely an apology. Poor communication.
My son recommended this place to me, Im so glad I went. The people were sweet, honest, and the prices were very reasonable. I was very happy when I left. If I had to go back I would.
These guys did an excellent job on my daughters PT Cruiser. Keep up the excellent work!
Empty your car if it’s staying overnight. Had items removed from my vehicle and they refused to do anything about it. Work done was ok.
Went for oil change,got in and out 30 minutes, But I was there 5 minutes before opening.Best advise they open at 8am.be there at 8am.!
They were able to get a hitch for my car that was back ordered everywhere and it only took them 45 minutes to install. The price was very reasonable and the work done was good quality.
This place is incredible! my exhaust broke and they fixed it in 45 minutes at literally 10% of the cost I was quoted elsewhere. I definitely recommend checking them out!!
Take all my cars there. Also all my friends are starting to go there as well. Great place. Locally owned and more affordable than the others.
Quick fair got the job done. Been there twice. Same great job.
Great service and staff they are hard workers and get the job done well! Their prices are great and my car runs so nicely now that they worked on it. Will definitely return and recommend to all my friends!
Very pleased with their work! They were able to save my mom quite a bit of money.
Ive been going here for years, great service and great pricing.
Got my exhaust work done here and Im impressed with the quality of work and the welds. The price was reasonable for the amount of work they did. Would highly recommend them for any work needed on your vehicle.
Really nice people and really quality work for a good price
The people at Velazquez are as fair and professional as it gets. You can trust this shop with any make or model. Quick and efficient MagnaFlow muffler install. ((you can bring a part in or order through them.3-4 HR eta)) 13 yr old BMW. Professional fabrication was needed like it says on magnaflows website. I was in and out of there in one hour and the price was honestly incomparable. The next install or fix I need will be done here. Top-notch service. I am not a bot, and no one paid me to say this LOL.
Called for a quote and made it there in 20 minutes .did a fantastic job went with dual exhaust with black tips .love the way my Silverado sounds now
Ii have had work done there before and as always they were very nice and very helpful. I would recommend their Business to anyone
I’m went to Tire Kingdom in Florida to get an oil change and asked about a sound my car was making. They told me it would cost 1200$ to fix the problem. Velasquez charged me 230$ and my car is running great! Looking at the reviews from Tire Kingdom I saw several women say they were quoted or charged that exact price. It’s nice to have a shop that doesn’t try rip you off and treats all customers fairly. I will use them forever.
Great place. Fast and honest with reasonable prices. Highly recommended
No appointment needed, went in on a Saturday waited for approximately 2 hours and when my car went in took them 20min. And I was out the door and it was quite entertaining, who ever ronaldo is 😂 I would use this place again
Went in to have 4 oxygen sensors replaced, was quoted between 120-160 for the work since i had my own sensors. Called me a few hours later and said the price was going to be 240. Asked what happened to the original price quote, they said do you know who you spoke with, and i said guy at front counter and he talked with a mechanic to. Lady said nobody knows anything about that price, i even asked the mechanics. I said whatever just get it done since it had to be done. Couple hrs later get a call saying 2 out of 4 of the sensors I brought wont fit, wrong plug in. Bought 2 new sensors and took in.... little while later get another call, you need one more sensor because the plug is different on this one to, but the 4th sensor you brought in fits fine. So bought another sensor and took in. 3 out of 4 that I originally took in dont fit. Hmmmm Next day they call and say truck is complete, codes are clear and ready to go. Couple days later I am under the truck doing some work and I notice the 4th oxygen sensor (that supposedly fit) was unplugged and wire just hanging. I try to plug it in but for some reason the plug doesnt match up on this one also... so instead of them telling me this one wasnt correct either, they tell me truck is done. Kind of shady if you ask me..
Friendly knowledgeable group of mechanics! Fast service and very reasonably priced! Thank you!!!
I went in to get my exhaust done a little while back, and had asked the lady at the front desk if they’d take a little off my bill to keep my cats. She said no. So I said that’s okay when the service is done just leave the cats in the trunk or something, the next day I picked up the car the exhaust sounded great, but they kept my cats there was 6 total on my 96 mustang and they left 2 on the car so in total they took 4 cats from me and never gave them back when I called and asked about them they said they didn’t have them anymore, which I thought was bs!
Best price around...fast quality work
The best place for mufflers. In and out quick
Did exactly what I asked on my 08 dodge ram. Great guys. Always busy so plan ahead!
Very busy but got the job done in a short time.
Got in at 920 am n done by 1220 and the price was reasonable definitely will be back
Good work not too expensive.
They do good work at reasonable prices.
We will definitely be back with any car issues.
Stopped in today to get O2 sensor replaced. When it was done by someone else last year they messed up the threads & didnt even put it back on correctly. They were able to fix me up & even pointed out leak in valve cover gasket that I had just replaced last week 🤦♀️, ad well as other issues. Although the wait, from beginning to end, was over 2 hours, Im not complaining, as expected for a walk-in service only establishment. I will be back 😁
Great prices great work
Excellent, fast service. The price will have me going back for all repairs.
This is a great place to take your car for exhaust work. They are skilled and able to fabricate pipes as needed and they are very reasonable and fast. They took the time to explain what my options were and didnt try to pressure me into any particular direction. The work was excellent and the price was right.
Fast and Friendly same day service! I would highly recommend them for any muffler or exhaust repairs or replacements 1
These people are scammers tried to tell me it would be 600 and more to do my brakes and there was no way around what needed to be fixed. Went to a different person to confirm price and was a lot cheaper.
2nd time back in a year and a half. Slight discount for repeat repair. But still very quick.
Great shop been in a few times with older cars and always able to repair. Great rates also
The service was great!I was in and out got there around 9:20 am and they initially gave me a two hour wait time they had my vehicle done at 10:20 i was very pleased with how fast they were also you really cant beat the prices and honesty the have. Most places would lie to you try to get you to replace things that dont need to be replaced or fix the wrong part just to get you back to waste more money well you dont have to worry about that here Im very satisfied with my service . I will definitely be going back for other services as well. Thank you to all the staff at velasquez complete auto care you guys know your stuff well!
Referred here from another shop for muffler repair. Check in was odd as the front desk clerk asked us to wait rather than drop off the car for a quote. She said it would be 10 minutes but 35 minutes later we explained we had to go. They then allowed us to drop off the car?Staff was pleasant. Repair was a bit pricey. They also did not call us to update us on when they thought the car would be ready. Instead, received a phone call stating “did anyone call you? The car is ready.”Seems like the administrative side could use a little polish. Other people seemed to have had better results it seems which is why I’m rating a 3 and not a 2.
They got my oil change done lickety-split and at a great price! Friendly staff knows what theyre doing. Highly recommended!
New set of rotors and pads. Price was great, service was great. I will definitely come back whenever I need to!
Great prices.
I have used them many times but they do not take appointments. I had an experience where a major repair was not appropriately fixed and on calling was told to bring in car next day early only to be told they were backed up for days and had no idea when they could look at my issue. Not a good experience from a regular customer!
Excellent and quick work!
They keep you updated on everything that they are working on.
Great place great people an service
My muffler broke off on my van and had it replaced in about a half-hour once it was in the shop, reasonable charge, good workmanship
Great place great prices and fast service.
Called for quote very nice lady helped me
Never been so satisfied before with any job they can perform. A smart choice for cost and reliability.👍
First come, first serve. No appointments. Been here a few times, and theyve always done good work for a fair price. Would definitely come back in the future.
Have spent way to much money in this shop and got poor quality work. They fix a problem and you leave with a completely different problem. They do not test drive the car before you pick it up. I have left the shop several times with a car that is worse than it was when I dropped it off. Not sure what has changed but the quality is now terrible. We used to love this place and recommended it to our friends and family but after this last car I am done!!!!!!!
Very good service n told me wat else my car needed
Got me in as a walk in... Didnt kill my pocket 😏. Car was fixed!!
Excellent and fast service. Took the time to show me the problem with my muffler. Very reasonable price to replace. 315 includes tax! Best shop!!!!
They dont know how to quote prices correctly. Great muffler work though
They do great work... Just took tooo long...
Good, fast service!
Great place, great customer service reasonable prices
Exceptional service, wonderful people, great prices,
Took care of my vehicle at a reasonable price.
Great Service
Ive now been to this repair shop twice for 2 different issues. The first was a small leak in the exhaust pipe by the front manifold. The other shops were quoting $700 to $800 by replacing whole system. These guys addressed the problem by welding a new manifold piece into the existing exhaust pipe. They told me the rest of the pipe was is great shape. Charged me $120. Yesterday they did a brake job on my front brakes. Great job and very competitive price. All I can say is that these folks are honest and their prices are great. Also, the wait isnt bad at all while the repair is being done. I will definitely go back with other auto issues.
Went in there with a very messed up exhaust system that was louder than a jet engine. Midas told me it was gonna be at LEAST $1200 to fix after showing me everything that needed to be replaced/fixed. At Velasquez, they also showed me the same exact thing. Replaced all the parts that needed it and fixed what could have been fixed for literally a fourth of the Midas quote (I didnt even tell them i went to Midas before). Excellent customer service and consideration, very nice waiting area that was extremely clean and tidy, and a very short wait time for my service. Everyone who left there while I was waiting was also very pleased with the service provided. Ill recommend this place to everyone I will ever meet who needs work done on their brakes/exhaust/anything else they might need done.
These cats know whats up. Hilarious affordable and really down to Earth. Very nice, friendly and will diagnose your car for no charge and give you a quote. You can also bring-your-own-parts and theyll install them. Theyre my go-to mechanic when it isnt something major.
Waited over 3 hours to get exhaust put on from the manifold. After 3 hours I was told that they couldnt get a bolt off all that time. So we had him pull it off the rack and took it home with a loud Muffler. Would not recommend
Awesome service will be back
Not reliable, Owner said be there at 8 o’clock he was late and then when you go in the set up please go sit in your car for 30 minutes we’ll get to you when we can owner asked for the car all day on organized dirty place of business receptionist was not friendly, Looks like the over book appointments when she said go sit in your car for 30 minutes and I drove off not ever going back I recommend that you think twice about going to this place of business there are better places of business in Rockford area.
Nice people. Fair pricing. Gets the work done quickly
Good place
Good service and very good customer service 👍👍
I took my truck in because the exhaust pipes had rusted and broken clean off of where they attach to the muffler. I was expecting to need to drop it off and pick it up later but they replaced the entire exhaust pipe, muffler, and chrome tips in under an hour!!!! The staff was very friendly and despite being a woman they didnt try to pull over any fast tricks on me. I was charged the proper amount and even was able to get rolled chrome tips vs basic for no additional fee. Which made me happy because I love the look of rolled vs basic. I will for sure be taking my truck here for anymore work it needs.
Buyer Beware! Velasquez Complete Auto Cafe sounds super sour when asked about any warranty. Just saying, shouldn’t a mechanic shop offer some kind of warranty on their labor? Understandably, any manufacturer will offer a warranty on any part purchased.
I agree with what most of the reviewer‘s have said about this business. I am a stickler about applauding Great customer service, However, I do not like the way I was treated by the receptionist. I have heard from many people that the attitude that she gives the customers is very negligent and rude. I do not want to spend my money at a place that employs such disrespectful employees. The guys are great, honest and very friendly.
Very good work and quick.
I cant say enough about how great this business is! I highly recommend!
Love this place! They always fix everything right the first time.
Was taken care of I needed my truck since its my living, they handle the required repair, very professional staff, highly recommend.]
Great people and honest prices. Never a surprise except how busy they always are. They do not take appointments. FCFS.
I have a 2008 Dodge Dakota bighorn. Despite an issue that was misdiagnosed 3 times by another mechanic, and over $600 on uneeded repairs done on my truck, Velazquez Auto Care was able to fix the problem in a timely manner and was completely honest with any and possible future repairs needed on my vehicle. Their service was excellent and they treat their customers with honesty and respect.
Very fast! Very reliable work! Very affordable!
Best auto shop I have ever been to in Rockford!! Took my car in because another muffler place had botched a repair then failed to own up to it. Even though I sent my wife (I had to work) they cleaned up the repair perfectly and did not try to target her because she was a woman, as some places do. The charge was not nearly what I expected and the mechanic my wife spoke to really knew his stuff. Highly recommend them.
This guy is honest and does really good work dont bother going to someone off of Facebook as your car will end up like mine broken I suggest coming to this guy as I should have done the first time
Good overall and they stay busy maybe that’s why they took 3 days to replace brake lines on my truck it should have taken 1-2 days at the most if you tell someone a day and time stick to it other than that good work by them
Took my car for front brakes they call me in a hour later and said that the back breaks where bad to. Why do people take advantage of other people there was nothing wrong with the back brakes i had just put them on like 3 months ago but i trusted their word. You will never see me there again you will never get my business and i will never recommend another person to you,. Bad bad business. Oh yeah git my car worse than what it was hope they didnt do nothing stupid.
The best place to go for muffler and brake service... Hands down! Before coming here, I went to the some competitors. I walk out of here spending $200 for a complete exhaust installed vs. $512.... 5 Stars
Awesome pricing, super fast, and very professional! Would definitely recommend and will be back again if needed.
They great! Got me in right away and fixed my car right then.
My father had been a loyal customer for 7 years, but after today he will no longer be returning. He came in today around noon looking to replace a muffler pipe. The mechanic he spoke with gave him a ridiculous quote for the job, $300, which my dad expressed to him that it wasnt right. The mechanic then told my dad, in the most condescending manner, that he could charge him a lower price to do cochinadas translation, a piss poor job. Will not be returning here unless that mechanic faces repercussions for his attitude and lack of knowledge.
One person I know had a really great experience here. I had a terrible experience. Customer service was nonexistent. I think it depends on who is running the shop on that particular day.
Excellent service, fair pricing and fast service.
I eas a walk in and as soon as they got to my vehicle, they showed me what was wrong and had it fixed in 30 mins. This was after 4pm!
Had a downpipe put on my grand prix gtp. Reasonable price and quick service, thanks Christian for the work on my car
