There is no one better! No ONE! The best and the most trustworthy hands down.
First communication was impeccable. They are open when they say they are and pick up the phone right away. I share this because I called 3 other places no one answered and no one ever called me back.
Second he was so friendly, kind and compassionate even over the phone!
Third I'm writing a unique review because I didn't have any extensive work done on my car. When my car wouldn't start I had it towed to Ambato. I was nervous all day thinking something major and expensive was wrong. In the end it was a dead battery. He didn't even charge me for the inspection. He didn't try to make up issues. He was honest straight forward and I was blown away.
Since I had it towed I went ahead and had the oil changed lol for good measure and to give them some business.
I do not wish any car issues especially the expensive kind on myself anytime soon but you can trust that if I do I'll be calling Ambato first and settling for no one else. If you want professional, quality, kindness and fast service this is the place. Don't hesitate!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Alex G.San Gabriel, United States0106Dec 20, 2023

Really really nice-- I came in in a mild panic ten minutes before they opened with brake problems and a weekend of driving upstate on the horizon. They had it fixed by 3pm and let me pick up the next morning as I got stuck at work. Took me upstairs, explained what the problem was, gave me an itemized receipt, and let me know to keep an eye on my brakes but didn't do anything unnecessary. And the shop cat is very cute and talkative.

Hands down my favorite auto shop. I made the mistake of going somewhere else after I move, but now I'm driving across brooklyn to go to Ambato. I trust Luis and his crew completely. Work is always done expertly AND quickly. They are also always careful not to do unnecessary work, and have always warned me about potential risks ahead of time. And the shop cat is as handsome as they come.

excellent service and fair price. They were very helpful and kind, I fully admitted to being a new car-haver right away when I didn't know what kind of oil my car needed. The oil change also included putting air in my tires and fixing a small dent for free. Will absolutely go back for my next oil change!

I came to Ambato auto service after my vehicle had its catalytic converter stolen for the second time in less than six months! It was painful enough to have it happen the first time and yet it happened to me AGAIN less than six months later during Covid! If this has never happened to your vehicle you are one of the lucky ones and perhaps I am not since it happened TWO times and this is an expensive part to replace because it contains precious metals that are appealing to thieves.
Despite this unfortunate event, I have to say that I am very grateful to have found in Ambato auto service. The owner Luis, is honorable and very fair in pricing. I would recommend Ambato anyone searching for a great, reliable mechanic.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jess A.Latham, United States732Jan 29, 2022
I completely trust Luis with all my car repairs and maintenance. He is friendly, fair, reliable, and I never worry about him trying to "find" problems with my car. Would recommend to anyone!

Luis was awesome!
I dropped my BMW off around noon for service. Luis quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it for a fair price. I had my car back and working perfectly by 5:30pm that day.
Finding a high quality and fair mechanic isn't always easy. I will be back to Ambato as soon as the time comes for more service on my car. I recommend them highly.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
