Santos Automotive Center Inc

Had fuel pump replaced on my F150 at Santos Automotive about a year ago. Tow truck dropped it off on a Thursday, drove it home Friday. When Santos called the next day and said my truck was ready, I was not expecting them to repair my truck that fast. Not one problem with my truck since then. Good mechanic shop and they work fast.

Santos can be a steal on small jobs but theft (from you) on larger jobs. Take it there for anything standard done on a standard car, but if you've got a custom car or a car that needs a custom job they won't fleece you - they just won't know the hell what they're doing - and they go for the welder like a gunslinger their 6-shooter, with results to match in terms of reversability. I love them to change a bumper or align a tire, but I wouldn't let them change a u-joint if my life depended on it. As for their vaulted cheapness, if cheapness is your main criteria for a highly technical skillset like mechanics, may I suggest YouTube and a bus pass? Staff is fine and friendly, even if I wish their front desk people all spoke better Spanish for their mostly central american mechanics. Communication in Santos seems to suffers a bit from its language barrier and a tendency to weld it first and ask questions later. Love the work they did fixing the a/c on my 97 Chevy s10 for pennies, still winci

Honest, efficient, fair. I have a new mechanic shop that I trust. I'd avoided some necessary work on my car because I'd gotten an outrageously high estimate at another shop. Someone I trust referred me to Santos, where they did the work quickly and well at 1/4 the price quoted by other shop. Respectful, no-nonsense. Would refer in a heartbeat.
