I got my car serviced here twice and I had a pleasant experience. Mundo was the one that helped me out. Great customer service and very transparent. Thank you guys for your service. Definitely recommend. read more

Always friendly, always honest, never pushy. I appreciate how efficient they are. A1 gets an A in my book.

I took my Honda in for repair due to a slight jerking when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. The mechanic claimed there was a transmission fluid leak (even though I hadn't noticed any fluid under the car when parked) and advised me to change the struts and leak and 4 new tires. He quoted $3,900, including labor. After this work was done, the car still had the same issue. I returned to the mechanic multiple times, and each time he assured me that driving the car for a few miles would resolve it. I drove it for two months with no improvement. He also never followed up with me to see if the issue was fixed, as he had mentioned he would. Finally, I took it to a different shop and had a transmission fluid flush done for $150. The issue was resolved immediately, and now the car drives smoothly. I'm extremely disappointed with this mechanic and wouldn't recommend anyone go to him for repairs. read more

I went to this shop after finding them through getting a deal for an oil change from another company. There was some other work that I was also hoping to have done as well. Not only were they very friendly and accommodating, but they sought my best interest in telling me how I could get the work done with quality materials for the most affordable price. They are very affordable for what they do and they just make you feel good about the quality of their service. My car has been in good shape since I took it to them. Their service was also very quick, which was highly appreciated. Mundo, the main person that I interacted with during all of this, had excellent customer service. I certainly plan on returning to this trustworthy shop again. read more

Always a good experience getting service form A-1. Staff is always upbeat, friendly, honest and quick efficient service. Mundo was a pleasure to do business with. The waiting room is spacious, clean and comfortable. I highly recommend A1 for routine and auto repair needs. 5 stars! read more

Got my read pads and rotors replaced at A1 Automotive at the really end of January. Only few months later, I am heading a clapping sound and feel the pedal bouncing back into my foot. Scared shitless, I stop at the break place by my house to have them checked. Well... Not sure what was installed back in January and what work I paid for, but here are the pictures of what was installed 7 months ago. Really defective break pads. read more

My oil change was quick and the front office was very clean and comfortable. They told me I need new tires and I said I would be back no sales pressure . I just lost my job and it felt good not needing to explain why I couldnt afford it right now read more

Got my car taken here after an accident. They handled all the insurance stuff and got me my car back quickly. Everyone here was really nice. I even brought one of my other cars here to get it fixed. Very happy with my cars and their service. read more

Mundo runs the shop. He's professional and a Gentleman. My company only uses them for our fleet vehicles. This is a good honest shop. Give them a chance you'll keep coming back. read more

I'm using A1 since 2002 for my BMW - no setup fee of $150 like the dealership, maintenance and repairs, and parts much, much cheaper than at the dealership. Great knowledgable owner and employees. Highly recommended. I saved thousands over the years. Yahooooo read more

I went to this mechanic to get my key lock cylinder fixed. They told me to replace my shifter cable, so I replaced it and it still was broken and didn't even give me a discount for being wrong. Then they proceeded to tell me it was a transmission solenoid issue and fixed it. But it still didn't fix my key lock cylinder issue and also charged me for that. I wouldn't recommend this mechanic unless you like getting ripped off read more

Brought my car here for brakes. First time they did them the brakes were mushy. Brought the car back because that wasn't safe. Second time, the car brakes were screeching anytime I brakes regardless of how fast or slow I was going. Ended up having to pay $1040 to get the car fixed elsewhere. Save your money. Other shop said the parts used here were extremely cheap like nothing they had seen before. read more

This was the best experience for an oil change I've ever had. Most places will usually take advantage of a gal like me, but the owner Gary was beyond helpful and hooked me up with a ridiculously cheap price for an oil change and tire rotation. Definitely the cheapest price I've ever paid. He also noticed my tires were balding and that I desperately needed new ones soon, so he quoted me for a new tire service and also quoted me for some work needed on my fiancé's truck. While I waited for my car to be worked on, Gary was very personable and we had some nice conversations. Really made this usually not-so-fun experience a good one. So happy I found this place! read more

Great bunch of guys. Very knowledgeable about cars and their recommendations are spot on. Prices are very fair. I highly recommend you to come here if you own a Mercedes. The owner has extensive knowledge and is thorough. Ali is trustworthy and the only one who will be touching our cars as long as we own them. read more

Called early morning to see availability. Got me in quickly, biked from here to work while he fixed my car. Done right, not right now. What you would expect from a good mechanic. Showed me the part replaced and explained why it needed to be replaced. Very professional. He's busy, but finds time to get you in. Much appreciated. read more

This is an honest review. I needed an oil change ASAP during the weekend but most auto shops needed advanced scheduling. I called Khuram's autoshop and they immediately accepted my business even though they were busy on a weekend. Tremendous service and quality assurance. If you want solid business come here. read more

The nicest people ever! I had a horrible experience at Garden Grove Kia. They told me I had to rats in my AC blow motor. Kia put the mice back in the car and closed it up. I picked up my car the following day, after a hot day. And sure enough my car smells atrocious! I took it to A1 and they could not believe that they would PUT THE MICE back in there...A1 took my car apart (such a hassle) and simply removed the mice. The rumbling in my car stopped, nothing needed to be replaced, it just needed the mice to be removed. They took such good care of me and went out of their way to get air freshener to help eliminate the horrible odor that was left. They were so friendly and even warned me to look away before the rats were exposed. After cleaning the motor and changing my cabin filter, they allowed me to just wait for a while for the smell to die down. Great service and will return! read more

Ali is hands down the best dude around to work on your car, you can trust him 100%. Thanks for installing my lowering springs, and my carbon fiber hood! read more

A1 Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Cypress, California

DISAPPOINTING! If I could leave negative stars, I would! I was recommended by a family friend so I said, Hell yeah. How wrong I was. I first left my vehicle there on 6/18 and towed it out of there on 3/2020 due to the fact Ali the owner kept stating "He is waiting on parts and working on it". Due to the crisis we are all going through (Covid-19) he mentioned there is NO traffic. I stated well you should have more time to work on my Bronco. He replied there are NO supplies for your truck! At that point I. At this point I called a tow truck and got it the hell out of there. Edward's towing was amazing:) Please seek another mechanic for your vehicle. read more

Was next door at Jiffy Lube getting my oil changed and walked over told the owner the problem that I was having with my truck. Bring it on over let's take a look, was his response. A genuine family owned business. He fixed my concern on my truck. We talked like we have known each other for years and very affordable prices. Because of the experience I had here, family with 4 vehicles, he will be our family shop. Never had I had such great customer service was talked about with everything going on with my truck, and relieved when the bill was not near what I thought it was going to be. If you are having auto problems just stick your head in the door, this is the 3rd time I have been treated excellent and for the reason for my post. Dec 14 2020 in the middle of Covid 19. Thank you so much A1 ...... you guys are a bunch of angels read more

Ali is one of the most skilled mechanics that I know. He's done work on both of my cars, odyssey and is350. He does not cheap out on parts and does everything perfectly the first time, and in a timely matter. He has a real passion for cars and it shows in his work. I definitely recommend A1 Automotive for any car fix/modification, you will have a peace of mind when Ali is working on your car. read more

Very knowledgable and trustworthy mechanic. Highly recommend. I first took my car to the dealer where I initially bought the car six months ago. Having issues with the transmission, the dealer mechanic asked for more than a 1k to fix. I went to this mechanic, who gave me an estimate of almost half the dealer price, plus gave me honest feedback on my car. He gained my trust. I Highly recommend this shop. read more

I just wrote a really long GREAT review of this place then pushed a wrong button. In short, I'm VERY pleased and will use Ali at A! Automotive every time I need something done on my 2004 Subaru Outback read more

One word-Fantastic!! Ali and Greg are professional, honest and gifted mechanics. I had an emergency that had I gone anywhere else would have cost me double the $$ and double the time in the shop. Ali and Greg are so knowledgeable that they knew right away what the problem was (and it wasn't just one thing) and knew exactly how to fix it. The bonus was that hey didn't charge me any more than they had to. They fixed the problem quickly and saved me a lot of money in the process. Ali and his team are some of the best and most trustworthy mechanics I've had the pleasure of working with. Thank you Ali and Greg; I'll be able to sleep tonight knowing that my car is happy and healthy again thanks to your mad skills--I'm a VERY happy customer. If you're looking for honest and reliable auto repair service--domestic or import, give A1 Automotive service a call and ask for Ali. You won't be disappointed! read more

Great service, nice people, happy car. Ali and his team did a great job replacing my tires and maintenencing my Civic. I went home and showed my dad (a retired auto mechanic) the receipt, he said the price was very reasonable. Definitely would recommend this auto shop to anyone! read more

****DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER.**** Auto mechanics will almost always have the advantage in charging you more than the actual cost of parts and repairs. At A1 Automotive, profit is not in their agenda. Just to put it out there: Ali and Greg are GREAT mechanics and GREAT people. Now it's words that can only explain the idea that someone is trying to convey, but the concept and actual feeling is something that must be experienced. In a nutshell, about a month from today, I took my crappy rebuilt B18B1 '99 Integra in for an ENGINE REBUILD (Car was bought off CL). After a 500 mile break-in, I brought it back today for its oil change to get rid of the ceramic linings of the new parts. Since the rebuild my car has ran INCREDIBLY SMOOTHER than before. My car constantly had interior vibrations to the point where it was difficult to talk to whoever was in the passenger seat. Now I can easily have a conversation. Overall, the rebuild was SUCCESSFUL and I look forward to another 200k miles! ***Now it's important to emphasize that you NEED TO KNOW the gist of the PARTS that will be NECESSARY for the job. Basically, you'll need to have some knowledge of how much some parts are going to be so that you won't feel like you're being scammed. When Ali talks to you about the parts that should be replaced and what jobs that should be done, it isn't to upsell- it's because it is what it is!*** Again, Ali and Greg are great mechanics and they know what they're doing. They are again, great people and will give you the HONEST and most REASONABLE price. Being a college student with little to spend, I spoke to Ali and negotiated a price for the basic rebuild. This car is my daily driver and it's been SEVERELY BURNING OIL and it's had very POOR PERFORMANCE. Ali was straightforward in the description as I had noted the parts that I knew were needed. With rarely any engine rebuild shops nearby that I know of, A1 Auto showed most confident in the work they've done. In addition to the rebuild, I had gotten other jobs done: 1) Full Engine Rebuild (Everything was new and replaced AND torqued/measured to factory specs) 2) New Engine Mounts 3) Exedy Clutch Kit and New Flywheel 4) NGK Spark plugs 5) Used Short-block w/ Distributor Cap and Rotor 6) OE Sparkplug Wires Within a week during the rebuild, there was a major issue. Ali had called me to inform me of a previous rebuilt that was incredibly unsuccessful- explaining my poor performance and oil burning. The short-block was basically destroyed because the cylinders were over-honed and the engine was barely being held up by the driver-side engine mount. The line for the thermostat was JB Welded and many more. Overall, this short-block was toast. The whole journey of my daily going through this full engine rebuild has proven to me both Ali and Greg's workmanship and respect for others. Their workmanship is insanely precise and they treat their customers with the utmost respect. Ali was willing to work everything out with me and remained consistent in his reasonable price for everything. He even buffed my headlights for me while I was getting my oil changed. Both him and Greg are incredibly nice guys and are always willing to work with you. Can't emphasize that enough. If you need a major car job that needs to be done, go to A1 Automotive! *This only contains the major parts, but hopefully this helps other Yelpers out.* read more

Been coming here since the day Ali first opened up shop down in Cypress, he's fair and does honest work and warranties his work as well. I've sent many of my family friends to him and they were all happy with his work. One of the best things about this shop is its open on Saturday which really helps because of my work schedule. He's very thorough and will show you the problems the best he can. Always willing to work with you. Great mechanic with many years of experience. He did amazing work with my BMW & my mom's BMW. Highly recommend him if you need any work on euro cars. Has the latest diagnostic tech on the market! read more

Great guys to work with. They have been repairing cars for me for years and so far so good. I definitely recommend this place to everyone.

I saw good reviews on Yelp so I decided to check it out. Took my Mitsubishi Eclipse in for a simple oil change then asked the assistant Greg about what else I should replace since I was approaching the 90,000 miles. Greg looked all around and showed me what would need work, and which ones were more important if I was to not do all the work at once. I ended up coming back at the end of the week and replacing the timing belt, water pump all the seals, the spark plugs, as well as the valve cover gasket and the four struts. I was on a budget so I asked the owner, Ali, the best price he could give me, and it worked out perfectly. When the job was done Ali showed me the parts he replaced and how they were a problem. The car runs smooth now, I'm very happy to have worked with A1 automotive. read more

Great shop to ever take you car in if you have an issue. Ali and Greg are extremely talented and geniune mechanics and are great at diagnosing issues and giving you a spot on information and telling you what's wrong.

I had an excellent experience with A1 automotive. Mundo helped me out, he's a straight shooter and fair guy, which is hard to find in the automotive industry. I had all 4 brakes replaced and 4 tires put on as well. Not only was it for a great price compared to other quotes I got but great service. It did take long, but honestly I would rather it be done right than wrong and rushed. Mundo gave me the WiFi address so I was able to work on school while I waited so no big deal there. I honestly don't have any complaints and will definitely be returning here for my auto repair needs. read more

I had great experience at A1 Automotive in cypress yesterday. My car needed new engine oil and filter, rotate the wheels(actually it is time to change the whole new tires) I was going to buy Groupon and go to another place as same name, but I found this place at yelp and all good and better reivews. Even not far from my home. Why not to try! Ali and Greg were so kind and skillful. They explained every tiny things that I asked about my car. And a reasonable price, too. I am so happy that I finally found honest Auto center! read more
