I highly recommend Familia Auto. They took care of wheel bearings on my 2014 Forester. The diagnosis was spot-on and replacement was done quicker than what I could have gotten at dealership. Price was very reasonable as well. I plan on using for other maintenance needs.

I needed someone to fix my car ac and I looked online. Familia Automotive has pretty good reviews and I took my car for a try. First time with this auto shop and I am very please with Klent who helped me with my car. He was straightforward and helpful throughout the whole process of repairing my car ac. I am definitely going back for any car repairs and highly recommend this place. Thank you for the great customer service, Klent!
I came here for a quick scan because my transmission was acting up. The owner Klent was extremely helpful and referred me to another trusted shop for my specific problems. Came back after the issues were dealt with for another scan. Even though i hadn't made an appointment he took time out of his busy schedule just to help me and make sure everything was good with my car. He was very thorough and even gave me tips on my battery terminal. Him and his crew are all great people and i'll be recommending this shop to everyone I know. I'm very appreciative of this shop and all under it. Familia Automotive is really the shop to go to.
