Canal Boulevard Auto Service

Happy is great. We were referred by a friend, and he spent over an hour going over the car and--more importantly--explaining in detail what might be the problem, what we should look for, and even reading through every one of the Technical Service Bulletins for my car which there were a lot... and explaining them to us. In the end, since we were on a trip and just passing through New Orleans, he recommended we go to Bryan Subaru dealership which ended up being a shady nightmare, so that we would have accountability if the repair went bad further down the road and we could make another Subaru dealership fix it for free. He refused any money for his time and advice, and I've relied on the thorough explanations he gave us at every mechanic shop after that. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Happy and Connie are THE dynamic duo. I ALWAYS take my car to them for anything, oil changes, repairs, advice, tools, everything! Happy is so honest - his pricing, explanations, customer service - its all just an extension of who he is. I like to call him the tinkerer, because he just likes to work with stuff and figure it out! Connie drove me to work when I couldn't get an Uber, Happy gave me tons of advice on how to sell my car, they even gifted me a huge bag of homegrown cucumbers! Seriously, I carry his cards on me and recommend this mechanic to EVERYONE.

The place looks sketchy, but the owner, Happy, is great. He tuned up my car and showed me how to work on it myself. He is a no-BS kind of guy. He doesn't want to sell something that you don't need. He'd rather build the relationship and keep you coming back to him when you need a mechanic. His wife working with him a sweetheart and will drive you home or to work while he works on it. I definitely visit to Happy whenever I need help with my car.

I've been calling mechanics for advice on my older AC system, heard a lot of different opinions. Called Canal and the guy spoke with me for 10 minutes and gave me the most thorough answer of anyone I've talked to. Other mechanics seemed ready to take my money and do work on this older AC system that might not actually work out well. The guy at Canal was knowledgeable and honest.

Super nice and affordable. Mechanic was real young, Jacob but very quick and knowledgeable. Will go back and specifically ask for him again. Five stars!

Honest, quality work. These guys are the real deal and got my truck repaired in two days. I’ll never go anywhere else.
