Been going to A-1 Auto Care Center here in Rancho Cucamonga for years now. JR is a pro's pro. Knows the answers to all my questions, offers fair prices, and always takes care of family's vehicles. I've even been able to ask for his advice on what the dealer recommended versus what he thinks is necessary. Always feel taken care of at A-1. read more

I went to this place because of Convenience and, most importantly, Reviews! They replaced my Water Pump, but it came at a PREMIUM price! Despite the Reviews noting otherwise! Would I go back there again, IF needed? Uhm, I'd be HESITANT! read more

A trustworthy mechanic! I would highly recommend A1 auto service. Great people who are doing great work. I recently had my brakes done on my van and they were extremely friendly with no-frills. They didn't make any attempt to charge me or upsell me on a service I didn't need. They did exactly what I asked And were extremely quick 10 out of 10 would recommend. read more

I've been wanting to say something good about this place. They did my smog check a while back and were very professional. The other place I went to on Foothill was saying if I failed I would still have to pay and A1 wasn't like that. This garage shop is people centered. read more

The thing about when you do bad business is you don't know who you doing business with ! I brought my car here for a smog and he put it as it didn't pass making it harder for me to get my smog with no lights on dash etc this place is scam ! Stay away smog or oil change ! I brought one of my cars here for oil change and he fucked up the oil screw caused me to have to get the heads redone ! After the last incident I know he's just doesn't know what he's doing !! read more

I called A1 Auto Care to get a quote for a brake job. I already had the original pads from the dealership and just needed them installed. They gave me a fair quote over the phone and told me to come in at 8 AM. I showed up at 8, they took my car right in, and had the brakes done quickly. They charged me exactly what they quoted--no surprises, no upselling, just honest and straightforward service. The whole experience was smooth and professional. I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend A1 Auto Care. read more

First time here but my mom had been here before and recommended. I had the front brakes/rotors put on my car here. I already had purchased the parts myself and they were willing to put them on. Price was reasonable and they did a great job. Car was one in about 3 hours. Would definitely trust them with my car going forward. read more

My family has been coming to A1 Auto Care since I was a kid, and now that I'm almost 30, it's still the only place I trust with my car. I've been bringing my own vehicle here since I was 18, and for close to 10 years, RJ , George and the rest of the team have always taken care of me and my family. The car I've had for the last seven years runs just as smoothly as the day I bought it -- and that's all thanks to them. Their prices have always been fair, and I really appreciate how honest and communicative they are. I usually drop off my car for a checkup and ask them to take care of the general maintenance. If anything else needs to be done, RJ always calls me first to go over it before doing any work. Every single time, he explains what's going on, gives me an estimate, and makes sure I'm comfortable before moving forward. If I have any other concerns or questions, he'll address them right away and follow up with another estimate if needed. That kind of trust and consistency is hard to find, and it's why I keep coming back even now that I live in LA! If you're looking for a reason to bring your car here -- this is it. I trust them completely with my car and would recommend them to anyone I know. Also special shout out to Adam, thank you for your patience and flexibility for me dropping off and picking up my car! read more

A1 is the best fixed my flat in no time saw the problem and took care of it in less than 3 minutes no exaggeration they get to the problem no BS I've been coming here for more than 10 years big overhauls maintenance you name it they're reliable trustworthy highly recommended. read more

I am impressed with the service at A-1 Auto Care Inc. Honest, excellent customer service, quality work, clear communication and fair pricing. I highly recommend A-1 Auto Care Inc. and will definitely be back for all future Smog and repairs read more

This place is fantastic! They are honest, go above and beyond, reliable and well priced. I took my car here once when I thought there was a problem as a woman they could've easily gotten over because The Car did make a noise, but instead of that they talk to me a bit found out I had just moved into town from a very dry climate, and the noise was likely an adjustment to the humidity we were experiencing. Sure enough it went away and my car has been fine... I also brought in another car I purchased from some jerks that screwed me over. Once again, they refused to take my money and told me the paperwork that they gave me looked Shawty. The gentleman spent some time on his computer, looking up details on the title they gave me and other things and told me instead of spending money on the car, go to the DMV and get the paperwork straightened out. Make sure I could registered in my name legally and then come back and he would start working on things in order of priority... I had previously taken the car to BMW and they gave me a huge list of things making it seem like The Car was going to fall apart. While The Car did need a lot of work that I wasn't told about at sale, this shop didn't take advantage of the situation... I don't know anywhere else that would do that. I've had a couple oil changes here and the price was right without any coupons or specials just consistent, fair pricing. Today I took it in for some regular maintenance... Transmission, flush, brake fluid, a cap and something to do with the exhaust needing to be welded. Previous place that pointed these things out was gonna be a fair price but they weren't able to do the work. I drove here to A1 right after And they got me in right away. I showed them what the other place advised I needed which I knew it was time for based on mileage and time of last service. They were able to get right to it... Originally they told me they couldn't do the emission part and told me where to go. But then while servicing my car they found They could take care of that with a welder they had in the back. All in all I was out the door for just under what the other place was going to do not including welding, the emission thing back together. Sorry as you can see I'm not a mechanic and don't know the name of what they did offhand, but it was something that was minor, but making a lot of noise And they took care of it on the spot. Come to find out they also do bodywork and the price quoted was phenomenal. I can't wait to go back and get my car looking like new now that it sounds like new again! I can't say enough about this place, all the positive reviews are beyond accurate. I've already recommended them in our local Moms group as well as to a personal friend of mine. It's rare to find companies that truly care about their customers and remain consistent with that and I think this is one of those rare finds - a blessing to Rancho and anyone willing to travel here! read more

George and team are upfront and honest and the work has always been performed in an appropriate time.

We've been bringing our cars to A1 for 15 years. We like that we see the same faces year after year. They know us and our cars. But most important, they do thorough work and let you know what needs immediate attention vs. what can wait. They deliver what they say they will when they say they will. We have brought them American cars, foreign cars, econo cars and luxury cars. They have taken good care of all of them and we feel lucky to have found such reliable, honest, down to earth mechanics who care about our cars and us. read more

Amazing service! Hard working and fair prices. I went here based on the reviews and very glad I did! Highly recommend!

I wanted to write these guys an amazing review because they honestly deserve it. Finding a good, trustworthy mechanic in a sea of mechanics can be really intimidating, but I'm glad I decided on this shop. They helped me with my little volks and sent me on my way. I believe small businesses deserve all of our love and this one is one of those businesses that lives up to its high ratings. read more

Our alternator went out and the folks at A-1 Auto Care Center took us in right away. We were able to get back on the road to Joshua Tree NP without worrying that we'd be stranded in the desert with no cell coverage! Excellent service, friendly staff, & good work. read more

Brought my Honda in for an oil leak and they were super busy but assisted me immediately and were very quick to diagnose and fix the issue. They were also very kind and honest, and pricing was very reasonable. Will definitely be returning in the future for my auto needs! read more

I drove here to replace battery. They said their battery could use 6 years and it's expensive compared with other shops. I asked the difference between my current battery and their battery. The boss was angry and took the new battery out. It's ok and I drove to another shop replacing a new battery which had 3-year guarantee and saved $100. I am happy with my new battery. read more

Change 2 light bulbs in my Fiat and it took the service guy more time to open the package. When JR saw he would be finished quickly he had him move my care inside the garage. So he finishes in about 10 mins. And BS inside for 10 more minS. Jr days: it's $144.62. Another rip-off artist!! Get some God and stop ripping-off people. You should be ashamed of yourself!! read more

So far, so good, I had an issue with my 2012 Chevy Sonic, it turns out it was a major vacuum leak that was making my car shake and rattle. Took it in on Monday (12/12/2022) at 8:00 am. The crew there was able to diagnose and solve the issue by 11:00, and I was home with my car by 1:10 the SAME DAY. I went in very comfortably as a woman who knew nothing about cars and did not feel like I was given the runaround. They replaced the gasket and told me to drive it around for a few days, and if an issue returned, they would repair it some more. I'll update after a week, but so far so happy. The pricing was very reasonable too! They've got a new customer to their list for auto repairs. UPDATE: Car runs AMAZING! No check engine lights came on after two weeks, and it runs like it did when I first bought it. 10/10. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. They really saved me one day when my car broke down on the way to Palm Springs. Top notch guys here! I had my car towed to them and it really helps that they're attached to a gas station. I left my car there and planned to return a few days later on a Sunday to pick it up. Because of the gas station relationship, I could get my keys from the station even if the auto shop was closed. This flexibility really made my weekend vacation less stressful. Also - they had a guy give us a ride to Hertz down the street. And after Hertz told us they had no cars, the guy was waiting outside for us still! He gave us another ride to Enterprise. What nice people at this auto shop! They gave me a call the next day as they told me they would. We figured out my car situation and they took care of my car for me until I returned with no issues. Great guys!!! read more

I am leaving a review, even though I never had a car serviced here because I had called to ask for a mechanic to check out a used car I was considering buying. A1 was not able to provide the service because their mechanics can only work in the shop, but the person who answered the phone was super helpful and offered me some really good advice on how to test drive the vehicle so that I can tell if the engine has been compromised, he did all of this for free. He was not in a hurry and he gave me good advice Thank you that I really appreciate so based on that if I ever have to fix a car and I'm in the area, I would definitely choose A-1. thank you so much for your wonderful customer service! read more

These are my go to guys! They are honest and fast with their work. The gas is cheaper than Argo as well and no .35$ fee.

I have been going here for over 20 year when my kids were small. JR and crew have always been honest about my car repairs and timely. My kids now take their cars here for repair so full circle. read more

A huge Thank You to the gentleman that took my phone call this morning! I'm embarrassed I didn't get his name but I think he saved me $800 two different ways. We're selling a truck that doesn't run and we think it's the fuel pump. A-1 gave me a price to replace but then asked why I thought it was the fuel pump. I told him the truck was in an accident and that's what the tow truck driver said. He told me when Fords are in accidents the fuel pump auto shuts off and there's a reset button. He saved me $800 from having to replace the pump and now I can sell it as a running vehicle for more $. What a lifesaver. We found ourselves a new, HONEST, mechanic. read more

If you're looking for a great mechanical facility and honest this is the place, everyone there is great to deal with and they also have the best fuel prices. read more

There are mechanics, then there's A-1 Auto Care. There's a reason they have been in business since 1994. You can't run an auto repair shop for more than 27 years without providing exceptional service. When I say exceptional service I'm talking across the board. Not only exceptional customer service but like their name says A-1 auto care service too! I have been coming here for the last 6 years and these guys continue to impress me each time. They are always quick to diagnose a problem then recommend the best way to go about it. Always fair and extremely honest. From a simple oil change or smog check to a complicated engine replacement and everything in between A-1 is my auto care specialist for life. On my most recent experience I had an issue with one of my vehicles, I took it to the dealer because it was still under warranty... what a mistake and headache that was. The dealer fixed the original problem(serpentine belt and tensioner pully) but created a new problem giving me back my car with a knocking sound coming from the motor. My car never made that sound before going to the dealer. Dealer said that noise is not covered under my warranty and wanted over $6,000 to fix the problem they created. Saying they had to pull the motor and replace my cams.... HUH??? What a joke. Had vehicle towed over to A-1. Jim and J.R. are masters at their craft. It took some time to track down the problem. It was a wiring issue. Let me tell you, wiring issues are not fun and very stressful. As it turns out the dealer had to remove an oil sending unit harness to access the tensioner pully they replaced. Well the idiots at the dealership rewired the harness backwards when they put everything back together, and that was after having my car for 3 weeks. Once I had it towed to A-1, Jim had me covered, in 3 days after tracking down every single wire from my ECU he found the problem and fixed it at 20% of what the dealer tried to scam me out of. If you're looking for an honest, trustworthy, reasonably and fair priced mechanic... do yourself a favor. Trust A-1. A-1 is my trusted mechanic for life, in fact I enjoy referring them to all of my clients when someone asks if I know a shop. George, Jim, and J.R. you guys rock! Thanks as always. read more

I've been going to this car repair shop for close to 15 years. The mechanics are the best in the area! Recently, my husband took his vehicle there for repair and was very pleased with the quality of work performed. In addition to this, we were not being over charged like the other dealership! I always express to everyone the great qualities that this business has to offer. The outstanding car repair shop, the gas station and car sales; the team there is a 5 Star rating! read more

Second time I've taken my car here and they have been friendly, fast and I am never shocked by the price.

My car's check oil light went on right before the Christmas school break (great!). Worried that I would be driving with grandchildren, I took my car to A-1 and they took care of everything within a few hours. They contacted me with the initial information, again when they had questions about further service and finally when the car was ready for pickup. Great communication, clear, concise and fair pricing - and nice people too :) read more
