I highly recommend this shop! I usually do all my own work including rebuilding my own transmissions. I was offered a very fair price for a standard rebuild. However I wanted lots of heavy duty upgrades. Extra clutches, 6 and 4 planetary steel pinions, heavy duty precision brand torque converter. I'm very hard on my vehicles. If I break something I want it to be improved. The work was completed about a year ago. I have no complaints! Most shops won't do what they did for me. The truck feels solid and I like the hard quick shifts. Also a few weeks later my shifter cable broke. They offered to install the part free of charge! The truck is 20 years old. The shifter cable is plastic things happen. That was a very generous gesture on their part! Again I usually do on my own work. but I will definitely go back if there's something I just don't want to do or don't have time. Thanks y'all!

Love this place, the owners are real nice and have always beat prices of other shops by $150+. I've taken just about all my vehicles here for issues that can't be fixed without the proper equipment. I refer everyone I talk to about getting their car fixed to this shop. They can't be beat. They've got the best service, best prices, best time frame and keep in contact with you through the whole time they have your vehicle. I am always thoroughly impressed with their work and knowledge of the mechanics.

Fearing that the problem with my car was with the transmission, I did all kinds of research online about the problem (You Tube, Blogs, etc.). I called and emailed a number of shops. Eventually, I came to Desi (who later passed me off to Gregg). He heard me out - over the phone - about what the problem was with my car. When I took it in, he correctly identified it to be another issue altogether - something I would *never* have thought of. Instead of charging me an arm and leg once he discovered it, he said it did not need much - repaired it - and then charged me a nominal fee. What I appreciated was the honesty in this situation; and, I breathed a sigh of relief! Thanks for the fix guys! PS - will be back for the A/C.

Both of our cars are running great and at a fair and reasonable charge. Again, words can not describe how satisfied we are and how grateful we are to you Gregg and your family. Great crew of mechanics. If you need some mechanical work done, give them a chance . you wont be disappointed.

A good and honest mechanic is an asset and very hard to come by. Gregg is both. I brought my car in to have fixed. Not having a clue what was wrong. Gregg took my car in, found what was wrong and got my car back on the rd in less than 5 days. They also gave me a printed estimate of what else needed to be done to make my car whole again. I am so grateful to west avenue automotive and i strongly recomend using them. I will be recomending my friends as well as sending my other car in to have some maintenance done. Thank you Gregg for all your work. I will always bring my car back to you anytime i have issues.

Joe Gonzales here!I've invested around $750 for work to be done on my Ford focus. Not bothered at all by the price because the work comes out impeccable. So happy with how my car runs. I guess Mr. Greg and Desi do this generally, but they'll quote you at the max. price. Do the great work, and in my case when its time to pay, the price usually comes out 30 to 70 dollars cheaper. I myself view that as a saving!!! To me Mr. Greg and Mrs. Desi Snell are really cool. They'll square you away on what needs to be done with your vehicle. ( owners ) How could I forget.Wanna give a special thank you to head ASE Certified Master Technician Rex Bush and his team of mechanics! The best in the bizz. I would recommend this shop to all of San Antonio! Cheers! Salu!

If you are looking for someone you can trust to do the right thing then give Greg and Desi at West Ave. Automotive and Transmission a try. We took our 12 year old Expedition in for them to evaluate what we thought for sure would require a new transmission. When we got the call from Greg, he found the problem to be something completely different at a fraction of the cost. Problem fixed...happy customer.

This shop is definitely by far the best automotive repair shop in the whole state of Texas!! They have excellent customer service and equally excellent mechanics!! By far the most honest and fair auto repair shop in the whole state of Texas!! The mechanic could have easily taken advantage of my situation and made unnecessary repairs, however, Thank God, that did not happen. I gave him the bolt and showed him where it came from and boom fixed in 15min. I can't say enough about how grateful I am for them. They will have my business forever!!!

Shout out to Greg and Desi at West Ave Automotive. When I left Houston, I unfortunately left a shop owned by a longtime family friend, whom I trusted with anything automotive. When I moved to San Antonio about 7 years ago, my first experience was with one of the big "family owned" shops in town. What should have been a $212 (Which I took to Houston and was confirmed) repair was estimated at near $4,000. I have been searching for an honest shop in SA ever since. Though unfortunate with a major transmission rebuild, I believe I have found an honest one in my first experience with Greg and Desi and West Ave Automotive. I believe in reviews, both good and bad, and I am happy to say at this time, the "Good" reviews were accurate for West Ave Automotive. Thank you Greg and Desi!04/11/2018 Update: (Kinda long - but they earned the kudos) Over the past several months I have been referring my friends, neighbors and colleagues to West Ave. I tell them all, "Great Mom & Pop shop and Greg & Desi will treat you right"! I am all about reviews and referrals! It is kinda like the old TV commercial, "And they tell 2 friends, and so on..." Well, the real test of a shop's integrity is when you have to return for warranty work. As you can see above, Greg and Desi replaced my transmission about 11 months ago. Don't get me wrong, I understand vehicles (especially high mileage vehicles are going to have mechanical issues - Things are gonna happen) A few days ago I had to have my truck towed in due to a mechanical failure. From the moment I notified Desi my truck was on the way, she comforted me and said, "I am so sorry this happened to you. We will get you taken care of". I was preparing myself for some other costly expense? Greg called me and said, "Your truck is ready"! When I picked it up they explained the failed part and said "Thank you, for your business"! These guys have restored my faith in that there are still "Good, Honest and Kind" people in the business! Do yourself a favor if you need Auto repair in the SA area - Give Greg & Desi's West Ave Automotive the business! Thank you Greg and Desi!

Had some possible transmission issues with our 2014 Honda Odyssey while we were visiting San Antonio. Brought it in to West Ave to have it checked. Not only did they immediately check for codes they drove the vehicle with me to see what it was doing. Instead of charging me for something erroneous they diagnosed it to be a computer issue that should be covered under warranty through Honda and pointed me in the right direction. Very nice, very knowledgeable, very fair and honest. If I lived in San Antonio these would definitely be my go to guys. Thank you West Ave. Automotive and Transmission.

Extremely understanding and friendly owners. I initially had my car towed there for a transmission work. After made a payment for diagnosis work (which would go toward the total cost of fixing the transmission), my brother and I called them numerous times within one day asking them about the status of the service while we looking for old transmission from other people to replace ours. We finally settled to sell the car to a buyer as is and the owners (Desi and Greg) refunded me the money without giving me any hard time. They are pleasant, honest people to do business with. Thank you Desi and Greg!

REX and the crew at this place did a great job for my transmission. They showed us exactly what was wrong with my transmission before they did anything, and they even showed me where the car dealership used glue to try to fix a major problem waiting to happen. They go out of their way to have your car back with confidence that it'll be working great. They even helped fixed a few extra things since insurance was helping me with coverage. So glad we chose them to help us and highly recommend.

DON'T BE AFRAID!! All right, Ladies!! If you're anything like me, having something go wrong with your car is terrifying because you're scared that you'll be ripped off, hoodwinked, and left out to dry, and, in the end, the car still won't be fixed. It's simply NOT going to happen here! Not only are the mechanics at West Ave. Automotive & Transmission the most knowledgeable and talented mechanics around, but they are also the most honest. The Snell's are good people of incredible integrity who value ethics more than gold - and here's a bonus: they beat everyone else on price as well. They are interested in building a business on hard work and community rather than money-making schemes. So, no matter where you are in the city or its surroundings, it's worth the drive to bring your baby to the capable and caring hands of Greg, Desi, Rex, and company. You will be so VERY happy that you did! By the way, if the work is extensive and leaves you without transportation, they have a good deal with a nearby rental agency that will be very reasonable. Relax and breathe. You've found the right place! : )

I found them via Google after my vehicle left us stranded in Austin after a 2-hour drive from San Antonio. After having a mobile mechanic take a look at the car, I was told the transmission was done for. Long story short, Desi, Greg and Rex saved the day! I heard all kinds of horror stories from relatives about transmission repair and costs, but the process at West was flawless and timely. I was so happy and impressed with their service, I recommended my husband take his vehicle there to have the AC looked at. It hadn't been properly cooling for a while, and Rex fixed the problem in one visit. From now on, if there's anything wrong with our cars that West offers services on, you can bet we're gonna go there! They were very friendly and knowledgeable, and even drove me home after leaving my car there for service (I live nowhere near the shop). I never got a vibe of shady practices from them, which is something I was afraid of due to the issue my car had. The location is very clean, an they have free WiFi and coffee/water. Can't say enough good things about them. Thank you!

I recently had my vehicle serviced at West Ave Automotive and to give some back story I come from a family who've owned an auto body shop for thirty years in the town I'm from, and I realize how difficult it can be to find a trusting hand when finding someone to work on your vehicle. The one thing my father taught me about having my auto serviced, "never take your car back to the dealership", so I kept this in my mind when I needed someone to work on my vehicle. I searched and searched until finally I found West Ave Automotive. To say they're honest would be an understatement. They told me exactly what I needed, and the pricing was incredibly competitive. Long story short, if you're having trouble with your vehicle, don't think twice and take it to West Ave Automotive.

Brought in my daughters 2007 Toyota Camry to get new rear brakes and replace spark plugs. Advised me to get a new front tire which I did. Prior to taking it to them I had taken it to the Toyota Dealership on I-10 and they recommended driver side inner CV boot due to some leaking. West Ave Automotive said it did not need it yet, saved me some money there. My daughter drove it to Colorado, 13 hours and says it is working just great and not giving her any problems. I highly recommend them!

I moved back to San Antonio recently and found West Ave Automotive. I have been going to them for almost a year now and they have been wonderful to work with. Greg, Desi and Rex have been honest and have gone the extra mile with me. They have worked on multiple cars for me and I have been pIeased with their service every time. Especially when I brought my old-school 1986 Chevy truck in and their experienced mechanics were knowledgeable and got it running great when other mechanics couldn't. I also like how they always manage to get me in pretty quickly, even though at times they have many people coming in. Exceptional service and good people. Would recommend them!

I don't have enough nice words to say about this place. Greg and Desi are amazing people. I was a skeptic and now I am a believer. I was very concerned when I went in to inquire about my transmission being fixed. They put me at ease and explained everything I needed to know. They did everything possible to accommodate me and their prices are right on track. I spoke to another employee while they were out and he was just as kind and helpful. These people are class acts! I won't go anywhere else ever again! I am certain you would have the same experience! Don't go anywhere else!

Our car was really in bad shape, transmission wasn't changing gears. The power steering was leaking. We thought it was the last trip for our car, but we came across this shop and the moment we went in, we were welcomed, every thing was cleaned (very unusual in these places). Desi and Greg treated us wonderfully, and they were very honest with the repairs, parts..etc, they found ways to save us money and did the job in a timely matter. Our car works great now, after taking it to different "professionals" without fixing the problem or bringing it with a new problem. The first time in my life, I can trust a shop for my car repairs. I will definitely go back to them for my car maintenance and repairs care.

My 2009 Corolla was shaking and leaking oil after having a routine oil change at another shop. I took it to West Ave Automotive based on reviews I read on Automotive shops in my area. Greg, Desi and Rex were all very friendly and professional! Rex eplained to me that the previous shop forgot to put an O ring in causing the oil leak. Thanks so much for quickly resolving the issue and educating me about my vehicle! I will be using this shop in the future and highly recommend to others.

Our family was traveling 7 hours to San Antonio for a family vacation when our transmission broke down along loop 1604. After seeing the reviews and location of West Ave Automotive, I had my GMC Avalanche towed in and explained to Greg and Desi what was going on with the car and our time deadline here in San Antonio. Greg and Desi were very sympathetic and moved my truck to first priority on a busy Monday to start the week. There professional team rebuilt my transmission and had me back on the way home by that Thursday morning. Because of there awesome team, I'm glad to say we made it back to Lubbock. Thanks you guys for the great efficiency, my truck sounds brand new and handled those interstate hills with ease. Cody Dye, PharmD

Greg, Desi Snell and Rex are two of the nicest, honest, thorough people in the business right now!! Keep up the great work you guys..I will continue to have all my cars serviced here @ WAA&T now and in the future! Affordable Prices too!!!It is so hard to find the total package in this kind of business but with West Ave Transmission you find exactly that...and more!Recently I had my brakes serviced on my Chevy Impala back in like March 2015.. what a fast, easy, pleasing experience the whole thing was, they even took me aside to teach me about my car and thoroughly explained that, and any other things that i should watch out for in the future.. we were all on the same page! The thoroughness of ALL THREE was hands down 5 star service EXCELLENT! I also went there today 6/9/15 and was there because of a bad shop down the road serviced a car of mine...my mistake but i had no choice at the time because i broke down almost right in front of that bad shop and couldn't afford a tow, they made matters worst that bad shop Full Service.. but West Ave Automotive fixed that problem for me within 15 min. right on the spot...they really worked with me and my situation at the moment...I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR SERVICE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Keep up the great work you guys GREG, DESI and REX!Until next time =)

Greg, Rex and the rest of the West Ave Auto team provide an excellent service at a great price. As our fleet ages, we know we will be able to keep or trucks on the road and producing, since we have an excellent mechanic shop we can trust. We have used West Ave Auto for transmission work, a/c work, front end repairs, water pumps and many other issues and they have always done the job right in a timely manner.

I'm glad I found this place - quite by accident. I had an emergency and pulled into the shop. Greg saved the day by having the guys look at my car and they made a temporary repair. I went back to the shop after buying the part needed at the dealer. The labor charge to install the part was half what the dealer quoted me! The mechanic, Rex, also pointed out a potential problem which he serviced temporarily. This will allow him to see if it is a problem when I take my car back to the shop next week. Regardless of what the problem is (or isn't), I am not stressing because I trust Greg, Desi and Rex completely. They are honest and kind people and I know I'm in good hands with them. I have already recommended them and will always do so!

Great folks, good work, honest prices, done before promised. They did the work on the front brakes of my 2014 F-150 for just a little more that I would have spent on parts alone. And the replacement parts have a warranty making my repairs worry free. I'm going back the next time I need work done on any of my vehicles.Thanks Greg and Desi!

West Ave Automotive is the best place to get your vehicle repaired. Greg is very honest and very easy to work with. Both my Honda and my Ford truck are working great! He knows how to repair vehicles correctly. Good man to do business with. I would highly recommend him!

Greg and Desi Snell are two of the nicest, most honest people. I was in a very stressful situation where my transmission had a complete fluid evacuation due to another shop's mistake which led to an emergency situation. Needless to say, I was freaking out. Desi offered to pick me up to drive me to their shop (which is nice and clean) and Greg arranged a tow for me immediately. The mechanics there are top notch (a shoutout to Rex Bush, he's the man!!), and I knew I was in experienced, capable hands from the get-go. I can't say enough good things about this business, it's owners and staff. They are a gem in a world of so much uncertainty (and untrustworthiness) in car repair shops. I will continue to trust them with my vehicles, and will DEFINITELY recommend them to friends and family.

My wife and I recently started having trouble with our car overheating so we decided to go to west ave automotive and transmission. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a handshake and a smile by the owners Greg and Desi. They took our car in right away and it wasn't long before Rex the technician came in and explained what was found and what they plan to do with it. VERY REASONABLE prices and everything is thoroughly explained before any work is done. Only a few hours to fix and was given a ride home and back to the shop when the car was done by Desi. Great people and great conversation. Would recommend to anyone that needs servicing. They definitely have our business!!

Dropped my F150 off for sticking shifter, Desi gave me a drop off ride since I was not waiting. Greg called with what was wrong and the cost few hours later, I gave them the go a head and got the call the problem fixed and available for pickup that day. They tried to get best price on part but only available at Ford. Very good service.

I had new A/C system installed in my Nissan XTERRA recently at West Ave Automotive. Owners Greg and Desi were very courteous and offered ride to my home while the A/C system was replaced. Master Technician Rex was very attentive and made sure everything was working well- they also replaced a part at no cost due to the installed part not compatible with the system. The waiting room is very clean and the owners provide free gourmet coffee with many flavors to choose from. This is a good business venture for Greg and Desi and I wish them great success.

I can not say enough about how awesome this shop is. When you are looking for that trustworthy mechanic in the neighborhood, trust me this is it. I took my 2007 F-150 for a full tune up and for what I thought may be a transmission issue. After we spoke and I told them the symptoms and they got to work. They were able to pinpoint the problem within an hour and give me their feedback. I ended up going with a full tune up and all my issues were resolved, my truck is running like new! They even saved my old parts so I could see what was going on. On top of my truck being fixed with tremendous detail, the prices are some of the best in town. I shopped around for a bit for a trustworthy mechanic and after going to a few shops and speaking with the owners, I just got that gut feeling from here after speaking with Greg and Desi. This is a family owned shop that will not BS you. I know enough about cars to know when someone is just blowing smoke, which unfortunately a lot of shops do. Give these guys a shot, you will not be disappointed! -Wayne

These are wonderful salt-of-the-earth people. You just know that when you meet them. Their heart shines through. Add to that their knowledge of vehicles, and being able to explain things in a way that the consumer can understand is amazing. Their prices are VERY FAIR and they have my business from now on.

Since they have opened been there multiple times with different vehicles. Outstanding work at a very reasonable cost. Can't remember the AC in our Suburban ever being that cold since I've owned it. Highly recommend this place.

I had an excellent experience with West Ave Automotive & Transmission! They were very friendly and willing to give me the best possible pricing and service. I had called other automotive repair shops for estimates on the pricing and their prices were outrageous. I then called West Ave Automotive & Transmission and over the phone he gave me a reasonable estimate and was willing to look at my car free of charge to get a better understanding of the problem. The service provided was exceptional from beginning to end. They did a tremendous job with my vehicle going above and beyond by keeping me constantly updated on the process and the options I had for repair. They even took the time to explain to me exactly what the problem was. Great customer service, pricing, and overall experience. My car is working great and I now have no problems with it. I would highly recommend them and I am glad I now have a repair shop in SA I will always go to!

The owners at West Ave Automotive care about their customers and strive to provide excellent service at an affordable price. I have recently used them for engine, suspension, and AC repairs. Communication was great during the repair process and I was kept well informed. In addition, work was done in a timely manner and all issues were resolved the first time. They are honest and did not recommend any unnecessary repairs. I am extremely satisfied and will definitely use them again.

West Ave Automotive & Transmission are very fast, dependable and charge alot less than other automotive shops. I took my car there for a water pump replacement and got it back within 2.5 hours. Other shops their eatimates were higher and wanted to keep my car overnight. I highly recommend West Ave Automotive & Transmission. As a bonus you get to talk with Greg and Desi Snell, the owners, two very nice people.

I drive a 2005 Honda CRV. When my car stopped running I basically had only two options that were both expensive: (1) new transmission (2) a new car. My uncle referred to a mechanic by the name of Rex. I went to visit him at West Ave Automotive & Transmission and he was kind enough me get the cost of the work to where I could handle it. It took a while because the parts for my car are so hard to find, but they were fantastic and I've been happy with their work. If I was to buy a new car today, I would totally let them take care of the transmission. They definitely know what they're doing and the guys are super nice!
