Consumer Comments for Absolut Autoworks

Been with Absolute well over 10 years. They're super honest. They've made very little money off us because we've never had a major repair. But they treat us like we're their best account. They do look for best or better price options. We've never had an issue that required a second visit. Ans they've been very prompt with our needs. Very much Recommend.

Very good shop. Recommended to me by my brother several years ago. It's now the only place I take my vehicles to for service. Julio and his crew are great to work with.

I have been a loyal customer for about 20 years. Like previous owner Danny Maura, current owner Julio Araujo has no interest in taking advantage of his customers. If you have a problem but it can wait a while to be fixed, Julio will tell you so. He does not use pressure tactics like car dealers often do. His staff is very friendly and competent. I can usually bring my car in the same day for a quick analysis when my check engine light comes on. Julio also has a great IT system for communicating estimates to you remotely and quickly, and for keeping records on my car's repair history. I highly recomend Absolut Autoworks.
