What clients say about Angel Auto Repair & Transmission Rebuilding INC. in Brooklyn (NY)
My 2007 Mini got new brakes here! Wonderful experience! This address is the new location (they moved last year) - I heard from a friend when she took her car to the old location (18 beadel street) they never mention it wasn't Angel's shop anymore - NOT COOL! Angel is who you want! He is at 35 Beadel Street! I got my car back on the road faster than expected! Quick turnaround without sacrificing quality. I'm not good with cars!! But they took time to explain and kept me updated. Professional and friendly! Left with confidence that the job was thorough! SKIP 18 Beadel Street.
Five Stars for Angel Auto Repair & Transmission – The Real One at 35 Beadel Street!
I brought in my 2021 Toyota Prius Prime and Angel Auto Repair & Transmission was able to diagnose the issue and give me the timeline and quote, with parts. Angel had the job ready when promised, and it didn't take forever. Nice to know there are still people who can stick to what they say. The car runs beautifully, better than ever actually.
It was a pleasure talking with Angel--the real deal -- extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the car, did not nickel and dime me. Great attitude. They were busy and you could see business was booming. No reason to guess why!
It feels like I hit the Lottery! I will never take my car anywhere else.
By the time I found Angel Auto Repair & Transmission Rebuilding INC, I was exhausted. Two other mechanics had already quoted me sky-high prices and still couldn’t clearly explain what was actually wrong with my car. At that point, I just wanted an honest answer.
Angel’s shop was busy — cars coming in and out, phones ringing — which honestly felt like a good sign. Even with everything going on, Angel took the time to really listen. He asked smart, specific questions, checked the car himself, and quickly diagnosed the issue that the other two shops had completely missed.
What I appreciated most was how clearly everything was explained. No upselling, no scare tactics, no talking down to me. Just a straightforward explanation and a fair, transparent estimate — which ended up being significantly lower than the others I’d received.
During the repair, I got updates and never felt ignored or out of the loop. The work was completed on time, the final price matched the estimate exactly (huge plus), and my car has been running perfectly ever since.
You can also tell this is a well-run shop. The team seems genuinely respectful of one another, and that kind of environment usually reflects the quality of work — and it does here.
They’re busy for a reason, so I’d recommend getting there early. If you’re looking for a mechanic who is honest, skilled, and fair, this is the place. I’ll definitely be going back.
Angel is the best mechanic you will find anywhere. He is honest, hardworking, talented, and cares about each and every one of his customers. Especially as a woman who has dealt with a lot of mechanics trying to scam me, I will never go anywhere else.
I had Toyota 2019 relatively low mileage highlander and Angel gave me best price and best service and repair and diagnosed the problem correctly it was Toyota bad design in which they made utter garbage transmission called UA80F and that has active class action lawsuit. Many shops did not diagnose correctly what was wrong including the utter garbage Toyota dealer on Nostrand ave but Angel and his technicians did. Solution replace transmission fluid at 15k miles. Highly recommended shop for their professional work and timely repair and kindness A++++
Angel and team are a delight to work with and I couldn’t be happier with the work I got done from Angel’s. They quickly found the problem with my car (that previous mechanics missed), was extremely clear on what needed repairs and why, and gave me a very fair upfront estimate.
I can’t say enough about Angel’s honesty and professionalism— he recommended only the repairs that were truly needed and even showed me the issue before ordering any new parts so I could see the issue for myself.
It’s rare to find a mechanic this dependable. I’ll definitely be bringing my car back to Angel’s for any future car work. Truly an honest and good mechanic.
Had my AC converted by them and they did it so badly and completely incorrectly that while driving my car the ac completely stopped working and was shooting metal pieces into the air compressor so I had to take it to another mechanic and spend over $1000 to get all of it fixed. 10/10 do not recommend this place. They charged me over 400 for bad work.
Angel Auto is my go-to. They are very busy for good reason, they do great work but don't expect it soon because they are backed up so call ahead to make sure they can make time for you.
Update: They don't do wiring or electrical. In four separate instances they completely screwed up wiring and electrical repairs. But great for anything mechanical!
Last summer no a/c in my 2003 Ford Explorer..this year, went to Angel Auto Repair & Transmissions..this heat wave is non-existent when i am in my truck now!! Professionalism at it’s finest!!
Angel and his crew are some of the most passionate mechanics I’ve come across and definitely gave an old school feeling of community my hometown of Greenpoint has been lacking for a decade or so. Freeing seized OEM exhaust manifold bolts with 200k miles on them may as well be open heart surgery, but his skilled team rolled up their sleeves and went at it. The New headers look and sound amazing , I will be coming here for all things I can’t handle for sure!
Absolutely amazing!!! So friendly and honest and reasonable about price! Did not try and scam me as a woman, unlike other shops in the area! Came with my own parts, head lights and bumper install, $175! And I walked in!
They even show you and let you watch. Honestly amazing work! Even gave recommendations to help you out to find other parts! Charlie and Angel, are outstanding. The other staff were friendly as well! So happy to have found this gem of an auto shop!
I didn’t want anything painted or adjusted or anything, so my car looks aesthetically whack, but that’s not anything on their part lol.
10/10 experience with Angel. After a criminal experience at the Audi dealership with insane labor charges and price estimates, Angel replaced my tires and brakes as well as fixed my trunk sensor in just two days at a fraction of the price.
Angel did the work fast, cheaper and did a complete solid job. He's my Go-to for my Mercedes. I don't trust anyone else especially in Brooklyn. He even held my car for me for several days. Thanks Angel!!
If I can give negative zero starts I would , believe every bad review you see !!!! They do not know what they are doing and they rushed jobs and they have all cars packed there Hood up car exposed windows rolled down, no supervision at all what so ever Never had an issue with my car bring my car there on a Thursday because my car was nothing turning over but lights came on , new alternator new battery just changed no less then a year ago .. They thought it was an alternator problem took the alternator out and realized that’s not the issue , told me my car would be ready at 1 p.m on Thursday I came at 1 they needed up saying 6 p.m !! Came at 6 they had my car all wired up looking on YouTube to see if rats chewed wired to my car lmao !!! He kept insisiting that’s the issue .. he told me it takes days to troubleshoot my car lmao pathetic! Oh not to mention he told me on Thursday it’ll be ready by Saturday ! Came I gave them till Saturday frustrated now … they told me I won’t get my car till after Monday now lmaoooo I came with my own tow truck and my own mechanic .. why my car was running less then 10 mins when my mechanic arrived ,and diagnosed it .. these idiots took days for a minor issue ? Oh and the issue was my key was not detecting anymore guys do not go to them they DONOT know what they are doing and they can only change tired and do oil changes lmao nothing more they are good at !HORRIBLEEEEE !!!!
Angel is the only person you should ever see when dealing with a car issue. He is very communicative, honest and caring. As someone who just got a car, he was very upfront and patient. Any time I have future issues, I will bring my car to Angel
I've been here 3 times now and never had a bad experience. 2 times for flat tires, this place is above the rest because they'll dismount your tire and patch the tire, not just put in a plug. The third time, my van was rear ended and they just gave me a replacement door they had laying around.
I recommend based on great customer experience and service.
All the work is being rushed Angel isn't doing the work personally. I had work done to my axle cost me a little over 1k just to hace the same problem took it back to Angel for him to make me pay again at the time I had no choice. I will never go here again Angel is a great mechanic BUT is he the one that's going to be working on your car Most likely not just pull up and you will see the B.s. in full effect no where to leave your car in the first place "RUSH JOB" should jump right out at ya
I’ve been a loyal customer here for years- Angel and the rest of the crew take very good care of my 2003 Saturn. They are efficient, honest, and trustworthy. I highly recommend!
Popped a tire on a pothole on the BQ expy. Really lucky we were near Angel’s when we exited. Called to see if they had our tire in stock, they did and the tire was replaced within half an hour. Totally affordable rates. Great, friendly service with a fast team. Saved the day on a 5 hour road trip day.
IF YOU WANT A PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE and ACURRATE DIAGNOSTICS this is not the mechanic for you. Let me say ok a personal level Angel wears his heart on his sleeve and is welcoming and has a can do attitude to address your car needs. BUT! Buyer be careful. He recently lost his mechanics and has a receptionist who is never there. He is under extreme pressure to finish the cars and I would not recommend. I can not go into detail how I was JERKED and paid 1k for my car and ended up having to take my car elsewhere and pay over 2k to have a functional car. I am not rich and I do not cut corners on car repair, I do not try to haggle pricing or budget as my safety is key and having a reliable vehicle for my small business. Angel was the source of many sleepless nights and chop shop repairs. If you’re looking for an average mechanic and non factory parts and a homie hang out this is your spot. I had to wait two weeks for a receipt so there is insight on the level of professionalism here. I won’t go into further detail because I do not need to rant but so disappointing as Angels personality is kind but he is incompetent as his business is in serve need of organizing and proficient mechanics and operations to help him. This is quick fix, bring your car back over and over let me see maybe I can slap it on and help you auto mechanics. Pay the money and go to a reputable place. Which is not here.
I've been to many auto shops. This one is one of the best in Brooklyn. Angel is so honest and good from the heart that he'll give you the most honest and fastest assessments and will charge only a fraction of what other places will charge you for equal services. There are plenty of mechanics on site and are always busy. That's good news to people who want their vehicles back to them as fast as possible. And they're handpicked by Angel because they all have his ethic. I sincerely recommend.
Angel and his team consistently went above and beyond, providing outstanding service for my 20-year-old Chevy Cavalier over the last five years with minimal repairs at reasonable costs and clear communication. When it was time to part ways, they kindly facilitated the process of junking the car, relieving a lot of stress, and even gave me a ride to the junkyard when I left keys behind. Grateful for Angel and his team, I'll definitely return for my new car.
Came here on a emergency, bff car battery was acting crazy . Went to Auto zone and they tried to get us for $250 for a battery and didn’t want to place it in. Went to Angel Auto, and Angel fixed out issues in 5 minutes and charged us $0.00. He was definitely a Angel and a honest man. Will return definitely
I can’t thank Angel and his family enough. I’ve had many mechanics over the years, but have been taking my cars to angel for the last 3+ years!
He always fixes the problem, whether it’s an emergency last minute thing or a planned service, he’s helped me when I’ve broken down, find a tow, diagnose issues, even fix my brakes when a bolt came
Loose.
That’s just the small stuff he’s also done my AC, Electrical, Starter Motors, Mufflers, and for hard to find classics too!
Reliable, affordable, my go-to.
Angel’s autos is always the first place I will go.
The best mechanic ever Angel from Puerto Rico better than your dealer better than anyone I’m telling you as a member of service and military !! Come here
Hands down one of if not the best place to take your vehicle I bring all of my cars and they never let me down.if you wanna get whatever problem you have or just wanna make sure everything is up to date this is the place you wanna go.
To Angel and his crew thank you guys for giving me a peace of mind ..
I brought Angel my new used Volvo V70 last year and asked if he could do a whole look over to check everything out. They did some work (fuel pump $1400, heater core $1200) and resolved some issues. I brought it back a few months later cause wasn’t starting well, and he said it was the catalytic converter codes coming up. I’m no expert mechanic but I was questioning how the exhaust would be effecting the starting power.
I brought it somewhere else and sure enough it was the fuel pump relay that he installed a few months earlier, that and the coolant sensor. Not to mention I’d been driving without my rear brakes working! Dangerous. Annoyed they didn’t catch that when he told me they did a whole look over on the car. I had a feeling they were too busy to actually diagnose what was going on and sure enough that was the case. They are nice for sure, but decent work not great. Glad I brought it to my new spot where I got the attention I pay for.
Angel and his team are hands down the best shop I've used in Brooklyn. Angel is helpful, responsive, and massively knowledgable about vehicles and how to keep them running at their best. He's always given me an honest assessment of the issues, a reasonable rate, and a full breakdown of what I was paying for. Angel and his team have kept my wife and I on the road in two different trucks now, and he's our first call whenever something comes up.
