We had 2 cars that were running really well serviced by him. Literally the SAME day we got both of them back they both died of similar causes. Im pretty sure he sabotaged our cars purposefully so he could make more money

We appreciate that we were able to get our vehicle in and out. Really great service. There are a few other things that need to be done so we will definitely be taking the Hyundai back to Sal!

Sal is a top notch dude. My wife and I have been going to him for years and even though we no longer live close, we still go to him for any work we need done. I would happily tow my car an hour away to get it to Sal. He is about as honest as a mechanic can be. We have had numerous cars worked on there, and with the older ones he often asks how far we want to go with the car, giving us details about what the car absolutely needs, and what it could use long term, letting us make the decision. The world needs more mechanics like Sal! Go to Westside, you will not regret it!

If you want honest work for a great price, go here. Sal is a great guy who is trustworthy and very fair on price.

Friendly and very helpful also reasonable prices

Sal is a great mechanic and has gone above and beyond to be fair in terms of charging for his work/labor and in finding the best prices for parts, etc., every time he has worked on my vehicle. He is extremely trustworthy and does excellent work and on top of all of that is a really nice guy and very easy to talk to. He explains things well, works quickly and really takes care of his customers. I highly recommend Westside Automative Center and Sal.

Owner is fair and reasonable in price. He does a great job on car repairs and doesnt treat you like most car dealerships will treat you. Ive been a customer for many years and wouldnt take my car anywhere else.

Every experience has been great. Quality work, affordable, good communication, and I always have gotten my car back on the same day.

Sal is a top notch mechanic with exceptional service. I am truly a raving fan.

I was driving from Virginia to Illinois and my alternator went out in Knoxville. I found Westside Auto just from online yelp reviews and proximity. I am so grateful I was in the right area at the right time. Sal was so helpful. He knew I needed to get on the road as soon as possible. I left my car with him at noon and he was finished replacing my alternator before 11am the next day. Sal called me under 1 hour with a diagnosis, quote and how long it would take him to replace my alternator. He went above and beyond. He replaced my alternator, added oil to my car and aired up my tires on top of replacing my alternator and replacing missing bolts from the guys that replaced my catalytic convertors. He even fixed my loose dipstick. I HIGHLY recommend Westside Auto Repair and Sal to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much for your honesty, courtesy and professionalism

From great prices to guidance on what needs to be done to keep your vehicle road worthy this is the spot.

Sal is the man, he did a complete engine swap on my Toyota in about 3 days while executing it perfectly and fairly. Best shop I’ve ever been too!

Sal is a great guy. He is trustworthy and is very fair on pricing. Great place to get your car all fixed up !

Car had various amount of issues, Sal was able to diagnose the issues and trouble shoot as soon as possible. Sal is a master mechanic, professional and has great service. If you need work done on your vehicle this is the place to go 💯

I called Westside automotive with some concerns about noises my car was making and was able to get in (and out!) same day. In addition to speed of service, I was highly satisfied with the low prices and customer service- Sal actually showed me the faulty parts when the car was on the lift, and explained things in a way I could understand. Also, Sal walked me through other servicing needs to consider without putting any pressure on me to get those done right away. He actually helped me prioritize which repairs actually needed to be done, and which could wait.

The day before I was planning to leave for a road trip the alternator belt on my car broke. I had my car towed here and around 1pm and Sal fixed my car and had it ready by 5pm. Super quick turn around and awesome customer service. Ill definitely be coming back here in the future!

4/25/19 - I havent had major mechanical issues for years, so asked around my friends to see if they knew a reliable, trustworthy mechanic.I took my Toyota Camry in for a potential oil leak and transmission skipping. I had to leave it overnight, no problem. Turns out, the last time I got my oil changed at Walmart (it was on sale) they put the wrong oil viscosity in it and it burned up with time. Go figure. Sal also told me that the whole transmission may be falling apart internally, because the fluid inside was good. Ill have to come back soon when I get another couple of paychecks to get it replaced.Overall, Sal only charged me for an inspection and a full-synthetic oil change for $80. The friend who recommended him, so thats probably a better deal than I would have gotten anywhere, and my second opinion definitely agrees. His shop is just a hideaway off of I-40 & I-640. He is fast, fair and definitely reliable.

Sal is a quick and honest mechanic. He got me in to fix my brakes the same day they went out! What a nice guy

What a great place to have your car worked on. My timing chain was loose, he came and towed it back to the shop, performed all the required work in a timely manner. Cleaned engine compartment, battery terminals, changed oil and only replaced needed parts at a GREAT price. Would Highly recommend.

Car repairs arent cheap, if you want good work, and reasonable prices this is the place to go. Sal & his staff, not only fix your problem but give you the honest truth. Ive had many jobs done with them @ a much lower price then other places around. Again car repairs are not cheap, he will tell you what he thinks the price should be, and why. Always do your research online before you talk to any car repair man, it give you an edge on what to expect. Again, Sal will let u know how it is, no B.S with him.

I consider Sal my personal mechanic. He is the only person to service my truck no matter the problem. I send ALL my friends there and they love hi too. The work is always done right the first time AND the prices are always fair. Chris is a pretty great mechanic too. :-)

Sal is the most honest, trustworthy, and helpful mechanic Ive ever interacted with. Multiple times hes actually recommended other shops when he felt they would do a better job on something particular or if they could do it cheaper or sooner if his line of customers was long. Hes always looked out for me in saving money, whether sourcing parts for me to order online, or even showing me how to fix something myself and not charging. Hes always upfront about what might be wrong, and suggests the logical steps starting with the simplest and least expensive measures to resolve the issue and save the customer the most time and money. Ive had a problem that another shop quoted me $1000 to fix that he fixed perfectly for $200. Its a hard thing to find a mechanic you really trust, but Sal is the real deal.

Sal has had three of my cars and has always been honest. He is not the mechanic to take advantage of you,hes actually helped me saved money many times.

Good

Sal and the others working at Westside Automotive are simply the best. Super friendly and always helpful. Anytime I have a problem with my car they do such great work in amazing time. I trust them completely with my car and I know I will never get ripped off by them. Overall, just amazing mechanics.

Weve been using Sal for 10 years and weve never been disappointed. He always does excellent work for a fair price. Hes a fantastic guy!

Sal keeps it 100% real and will get the job done at a very reasonable price and at a timely manner. I feel like since I am very clearly not a car person, mechanics can easily take advantage of my ignorance and rip me off. I feel comfortable with sal and will come to him from now on with even my silliest of requests !

Sal does a great job and is very open and honest. The first time I had to get my car fixed, I was very nervous because I dont know enough about cars to know if Im getting ripped off or not. Sal very patiently talked to my father (also a mechanic) on the phone and explained what was wrong with my car. I felt much better knowing that my dad agreed with Sals plans. Ever since, my husband and I have gone to Sal with our cars and are never disappointed! Sal will not try to sell you things you dont need; if you dont have much money, you can talk to him about what is essential and what is not. I highly recommend Westside Auto!

Terry was a huge help. His concern was genuine and his work is quality. He went above and beyond with restoring my transmission and tending my my needs as an individual. I was down on my luck and he treated me as a friend more than a customer. I highly recommend his services and if and when Im back around, if I need any car help I will be sure to come back to westside automotive.

Super cool and take care of me for the low

Great place to take your vehicles with excellent owners theyve worked on our cehicles and have them done the next day

West up

Nobody really likes having to get auto repair work done, but Sal is always upfront and honest and affordable with his repairs.

Sal is extremely nice and finished work on my car very quickly. He is very reasonable with pricing and didnt push anything unnecessary. Will be going back when I need more work later!

Sal is a Very Respectful Honest Man and he does great work on cars....i take my moms car there also and i have turned family and friends on to him....thats the place to take your car for Sure....Guranteed Good Service....

Good

Quality service Fair prices

Great experience, the mechanics were very helpful, friendly, fast, and gave my car a great look over. If you’re in the area they’re very reliable.

I dont go anywhere else. I dont trust anyone else. Sal is great and hes honest. Anyone that I know that needs work, I send them to Sal.

Honest, and trustworthy man! If your in need of a fix heres the place to take your car!

Sal did an excellent job on my car at a fair price. I would highly recommend

Sal is great, fair, and works fast. I suggest Westside automotive to anyone who needs their vehicle worked on.

Honest , low key automotive repair shop with decent prices.

Quick service, explained what was done when I picked up truck. Reasonably priced.

Really helpful, expert and nice man!

Great! Very nice and was able to replace a wheel stud quickly the same day. Did it for less than the estimates two other places gave me.

I went there once to have a tire replaced, and when I asked if they could do it that day, the young man who was there very condescendingly told me they wouldnt have time. I shrugged it off and said it was okay and that I would just come back the next day, and he got angry about it and said We are closed tomorrow, as if I were an idiot. I said okay and left, but I still dont understand why he would be So rude to a potential customer.

Quality work , best advice .

Sal is honest and trustworthy.

Good guys
