Elite Tire and Automotive Smog Check, Cathedral City CA

I was on my way to AZ when my battery light came on. I went to a AAA shop but they were fully booked. The shop recommended me this place and to my surprised, Axel was very accommodating and was able to fix my alternator and got back on the road in no time. Thank you Axel for the excellent service. All the best!

My car had an oil leak that took some time to fix. The dealer said it would take several days to repair the problem. Axel diagnosed the problem and fixed it in one day, at a more reasonable price. He was prompt and courteous, and a pleasure to work with. On the side, he gave me a product to clean up a large puddle of oil on my garage floor. Very helpful.

Axel and his team of mechanics provided exceptional service in replacement of the turbocharger and catalytic converter. The price was competitive, yet I did save some money. I definitely saved myself any type of meltdown and trust issues on their knowledge about engines. Unlike the dealership off I-10, who put the new engine in it 9 months ago. Again, Axel was informative and honest about all the information given.

This guys temper is as short as he is. I asked important questions and he said that he didn't have time for it and walked away. I understand he has a business to run but I have questions to ask. I'm so glad I didn't leave my car after reading the low scores/ reviews. Ps someone get this man a step stool and a dictionary.

It’s funny that they advertise Engine Overhauls and Transmission Rebuilds yet they refused to even inspect/ diagnose a rather simple electric 4WD issue on my truck. Need I say more?

I am very unhappy! He had my car for almost 2 weeks. Got my car back with no gas. All my stuff in glove box and middle console were taken out. Had fast food trash in my car. Left my driver and passenger beige seats black with grease. Crumbs in the back floor mats. I 100% think he let someone use my car.

The truth. It became very expensive for me. And personally I like punctuality. And the person who would help me arrived half an hour late. I didn't like that

Its a outstanding shop and the owner Axel is very knowledgeable on Automotive and smogs I take all the cars i work on that need smog test I highly recommend him and his shop

The owner is very personable and kind! I appreciated how fast he got the work done and took care of my with my extended warranty repair. Above and beyond in my opinion!

I went in with a push to start issue and a electrical issue with my tail lights and left two days later with no issues and a happy customer. If you want the best work with excellent customer service go to Elite Auto! Awesome job guys thanks.

Knowledgeable and fast mechanic, went on a Tuesday to see if he could work on my F-150 brakes told me to come Thursday and had them done in the evening, I rate it 3 stars because it is 150 an hour service fee, where a couple other mechanic shops on the same street have a service fee of 110 or 120 per hour. I also had to ask him about any warranties for the brakes and if my brake fluid was good, didn’t think he cared for the car probably just cared about the money, very common with mechanics. Don’t think I’ll be returning due to the price and feeling of a mechanic honestly stealing from me especially in these hard times.

My initial visit to Elite was 7 years ago. I was on my way to get an oil change there and my car got hit right outside. Axel, out of the kindness of his heart, came out and fixed my bumper so that I could have my husband drive that car home. That was my first impression. Time has passed and I found my way back! Elite will be my go to from now on. His kindred and generosity along with expertise and professionalism will keep me a customer for life. Thanks again Axel.
