Ab Auto Repair and Muffler

Honest guys, quality work fair prices.

Absolutely great experience. I stopped in to see about some welding on an exhaust pipe mount and found out they also do smog checks. Got both done in 30 minutes and spent way less than you would expect. No one wants car issues, but next time I’m coming back here.

I needed a crack on my exhaust welded, I was driving out to York and I saw this shop didn’t look busy. I’m glad I stopped in, at first they quoted me 150, but I told them I only had a hundred cash and then they came down to 60. It took maybe 20 minutes and then I was on my way.

Helped me with an exhaust problem I had on a vintage vehicle. Solved it quick and was very professional about it. Great shop!

I have to write about this place. This business is not only a California Star Certified Smog Test station, it is a full service garage including tires and alignment. This is a must try if you want to experience honest business dealings with a mechanic.
I found AB because one of my ancient cars failed the new and stringent California smog test. It needed a new catalytic converter and skeptical was I when my search led me to a brand new catalytic converter for $ 170 taxes and all at AB. My dealer quoted $ 575. My trusty import specialist mechanic quoted $ 275. Naturally logic sent me to AB. Yes I had to go out of my comfort zone to come here. When I showed up, I saw a very clean, very well staffed shop that provides coffee and a waiting room for its clients. Nice surprise.
VJ, the owner was polite, professional, attentive and when asked when i could pick my car up met me with a, «If you want to wait 20 minutes your car will be ready». Is this guy for real? I was a bit surprised. So I asked a million questions about the part and their service. VJ tells me that they’ve been in business for over 10 years. I was reassured it was brand new when I saw the part unboxed and installed before me. 17 minutes later my car was driven out of the bay to me.. On my way out, VJ said «Thanks for coming by and let the car run for at least 15 minutes before you re-​test» and I responded, «Thanks for the efficiency and price». I was super impressed when this ancient car passed the smog test.
As I drove down the street away from his shop, I thought to myself, I’ve never experience such an efficient, upfront and reasonably priced car repair. I I know I found a new mechanic.

William is very friendly and helpful: swapped out my brake light and rotated my tires for free, since I return every couple months for maintenance. It’s a good place.

So i went to this «other» place a couple blocks away for a wheel alignment but they had cars scattered around everywhere and it was just a big mess and were so slow in getting around see what i needed done, SO i drove off and headed north and passed this place called A.B. Auto Repair.
I decided to check them out and see what kinda price they were gonna give me in comparison. It was exactly the same price. $ 45.00 which is great! I went with it knowing i had a existing problem with the right front side but wanted to hear it from them to see what they said. BTW, this place was very clean and organized! (not some dump!)
After they set the car up i was called over to explain to me what the problem was, which i already expected. They gave me a look at the computer screen and showed me what was the problem. Yes, they have the latest computer technology for All Wheel Alignments. Then they gave me 2 options possible, one much more expensive than the other.
Well i went with the obvious with the guarantee that it would work out just as well.
I went for it and grabbed my pup and went for a walk. When i got back it was all done and after they did a road test i paid up and went on my merry way, as a happy camper. They also let me know if i have any problem just come back and they’ll take care of it. Now thats always good to hear and know.
Bottom line… these guys were straight with me and they did what they could to help me fix my problem and to me, that says a lot. I will be back for other work later when needed. THANKS GUYS!!!

These guys got their shop locked down…
They really know their stuff and get you out as soon as possible and correctly, never rush a job, and actually take the time to explain to you what is wrong with your vehicle and if you need to change it asap or down the road.
Prices are decent, better then other shops in the area, trust me, i have used those other guys and even though they were okay, these guys are much better in my opinion.
So if you need a smog check, exhaust, suspension work, custom add-​ons and some engine work, stop by and check it out for yourself.
Hope this was helpful…
