"I can't believe my 84 year old inlaws where charge 45 dollars to give them a jump/boost almost right next to the shop its was very cold and these guys saw an opportunity to stick it to the old poeple ! Shame shame!"

"Be careful with this man. He charged me $750.00 to mess up my car, and he will lie to you and cheat you. The young people that are working there don’t know what they are doing. They are practicing how to become mechanics."

"DO NOT COME HERE. Came here to fix an issue with my car. When it was returned to me, my hood was dented and no longer closed fully! As if someone hit it very hard or pushed on it with a lot of force. My hood also was no longer locking or closing fully anymore. MY HOOD WAS FINE AND IT CLOSED! OBVIOUSLY IT WAS. If you drive with your hood unlocked it can shatter your front windshield. It is DANGEROUS. The owner told me after he charged me that my hood was not closing and it was probably some accident I had in the past. As if I had given him my car in that state. As if he didn’t break my hood and dented the top of my hood. I would have remembered being in an accident. I would have remembered a DENT IN MY HOOD. I would have remembered MY HOOD NOT LOCKING. But this is the state in which they returned my car to me. It is frustrating to be a woman and get looked at by a man as if I’m stupid and I would not know the state my car used to be in. Just because I do not know much about cars, does not mean that I am not aware that my car was messed with, taken care of poorly. I don’t understand why the owner would be so careless and put my life and car in danger like this. Do not come to this place, your car might come back WORSE! Dented, and broken. Also they might put you in danger!"

"I have been coming here for a few years now and Sam is the man. Reasonable prices and good work. Keep it up. Now Celi's your girl, still reasonable prices!! Update: Regardless of what a couple of people on the Kern Place app say (Karens) University has been & is still good. Yes, I like Sam too, still do and would go see him, if I have to but Jorge, the mechanic that probably worked on most of the cars is still there. True, Celi is not a mechanic nor has she claimed to be but she helps Jorge out where she can and the customers on the price. Hell, if you go get your own oil and filter, she'll only charge you $15 for the change. I also prefer to buy my own parts and have them install them. ;0)"

"My friends fuel pump went out on his van and so we came here to get it fixed. We had to order a tow truck to bring it in and it seem like the tow truck driver was very familiar with this auto shop. We were greeted right away and showed where the car was supposed to be dropped off. It was very important for us to get the car fixed before 5 PM that same day given that we dropped it off at 2 PM. The guys there made it a priority to get her car fixed in time for us. Sure enough The car was ready at 5:30 PM. We were pleasantly surprised with how quick they fixed the issue. They didn’t try to sell any other services or maintenance and fixed just what was the problem. Overall it was a great experience and if I’m ever in El Paso and need my car fixed these are the guys that I’m calling. It is also near the downtown area which makes it extremely convenient for drop off and pick up especially if your tow truck is charging by the mile."
