My family's been going to Alfa Auto Repair for probably the past decade now, and the loyalty is very warranted -- they're diligent, honest, and reasonable with the pricing. They have a handful of mechanics, so they're very efficient with their business. Every person who has worked on my car has been kind and personable, which makes the process of dealing with car troubles a lot less stressful. The business is situated in the middle of an alleyway where there are a handful of other auto work establishments, but the sign is quite clear. Beware that it is a pretty cramped space, but any of their staff is willing to park your car for you in you have trouble navigating. I truly can't recommend this business enough and have never thought to go to somewhere else for my general car needs! read more

Cam on chu An , he is honest, fast service, great deal and friendly, and tell you up front quotation.

Fast, friendly. Very happy with service. Had drive shaft repaired. Would visit again.

My car was totaled and I'm getting back into older used cars while I wait for the car I want (crazy times in the Plug In Hybrid market). I've been coming back here from a 4 year hiatus and love that they still all remember me and ask how's that Accord doing?? They've been helping me on my new used cars and boy.. how my perspective has changed in 4 years. I really appreciate how Chu An is so genuine and just wants to help people with their cars. His prices are still from 2012. I've gotten plenty of work done and he still doesn't want anymore from me so I end up tipping his staff and they are so appreciative. His work quality has gone uphill with some of his new mechanics. He no long carries cheap brake pads and only installs dealer pads to ensure they are good. He has plenty of Mobil 1 synthetic oil in stock which is the new norm. Still a bit unorganized chaos sometimes there but great quality honest business from an owner that just wants to help the community. read more

I have been here twice for problems i thought would cost an arm to fix. First time was for blind spot detection issue and the second time was door hinge malfunction. The technician gave it a thorough look, fixed the problem in less than 10mins and sent me on my way free of charge. They said these are quick fixes so don't worry about it. Since then this shop has been my absolute go-to spot. read more

I trust this business along with the techs on site and will keep coming back. Hats off to everyone as They will address an issue and encourage you to take to the manufacture if it falls under warranty. read more

They don't answer the phone, that could be a sign of trouble once you hire them. I will go elsewhere, better safe than sorry.

Bad service started with my phone call to them. He answered hello and I asked if this was Alpha auto repair he said yes what do you want. I ask about the oil change price and if they have any coupons, the guy said no coupon and he hung up on me. I won't be going there. read more

Here's the gist of things: My step dad brought in the family car for a brake job. Basically the mechanic did not close the brake bleed valves and sent my step dad off with it that way. I come home to hear him complain about the situation, and I checked each wheel to see them still leaking. So I ended up bleeding the brakes myself and correcting their error. No mechanic should send a vehicle on the road without first checking and making sure everything is properly closed and tightened up. read more

Alfa Auto Repair - Brake fluid all over the wheel well since the mechanic did not tighten the bleed valve. - Auto Repair Near Me - Santa Ana, California

A great place for auto repair. They offer an unbeatable program ice while provide a topi notch service. Recently my car needed to change oil pump, they cleaned my car engine without any extra charge. Normally, it would cost $20 at Alfa Auto. read more

Beware! They speak predominantly Vietnamese and have only 2 English-speaking mechanics! I recommend calling first for a quote, they tend to offer a more competitive price if you sound like you're shopping around. ...Well, it probably helps if you speak Vietnamese to get the ol' You're-Asian-Too-discount. And since I don't, my parents do it for me and berate them with "But we don't have that much money" until they give us a pity discount (although probably more like please-stop-talking-at-me-discount). As for prices, off the top of my head, for a large sedan, new timing belt + water pump = ~$350, new brake pads + turn rotors = $210. On an SUV, new upper radiator hose + fluid = $30, valve cover gaskets = $220. Oh, and this place is pretty damned dirrrtay. Just like a pho joint, they do what they do best, you ain't there for ambiance. read more

I had to pull over to write this review. This is literally the best auto repair place you could ask for. It's a small garage, but they get the work done. I've come here twice already and each time they've gone above and beyond my expectations. I'd highly recommend them. It's as if they treat each car as their own and I appreciate that. They're honest and have great pricing! All of which is really hard to find. COME HERE! You won't regret it. read more

Chu "An" let one of his sincere charming guys that doesn't smoke change my transmission oil, the mechanic recommend me to change the brakes because it was completely worn, showed me the difference between a new and old, recommend me not to do tire rotate because my front was better than the back, he also said that the back will need new tires soon, he also change the cabin air filter and another young mechanic change ac filter that I brought. He even added air to my tires without me asking him, he also clean/polish my wheel cover, he went the extra mile. The mechanic was genuine and easy to talk to, very respectful. I don't know how to spell his name, he was the most down to earth. It sounded like it start with N. read more

I bought a lemon as a car. Like it looked really pretty but within 3 years of ownership the alternator has SNAPPED, radiator blown, brakes gave out, struts gave out, serpentine belt snapped, and a blown compressor. If i had gone to anywhere else i would have probably spent THOUSANDS in repairs. I know what you're thinking, get a new car right? Wrong, i stuck it out and went to Alfa and through everything i've spent maybe only 2k on all of those repairs and my car runs better than most of my friend's cars despite it being made in 2000. These guys are lifesavers and i never have to worry about being ripped off here for good service. read more

I came in for the headlamps and headlight bulbs replacement, they DID IT in LESS THAN 45 minutes but ..... when the night came, the lights are ALL OUT OF PLACE!!! Brought the car back the next day for adjustment and they SPEND MORE THAN 30 minutes trying to figure out what's going on! Told me they CANNOT FIX it so I WAS MAD, ask for a refund and luckily, they ACCEPT! Now I'm stuck with an out-of-place headlight, takes time to find another auto repair store!!!! Ggggrrrr ....... read more

They don't know anything! I have a pretty old car... 1997 Lexus. Runs pretty well for an old car, except once in awhile it does get weird. My check engine light was on & the night before, my car wouldn't start AT ALL!!! I had my bf & a friend look at it-- & they tell me the distributor cap is cracked. Don't know what that means, but I wrote down the notes. (Of course I believe them since they spent 5 years or so fixing jet engines in the Marines-- I'm sure they can look at something as simple as a car) I took the car here (my dad's recommendation) & they said it was A-OK. When a car doesn't start, stop suddenly at the ramp to the freeway and just makes weird noises... it is NOT ok. So, I ask, "What's the check engine light doing on then?" he tells me, "Oh, the check engine light is just broken." I thought if it wasn't broken before it went on. So, I tell him the guys said the distributor cap might be broken. & the guy at this place tells me, "This car is old. It has no distributor cap." What!? "& he repeats himself "don't worry about the distributor cap, the car doesn't have one." & he tells me, "Hey! Thanks for coming in! How about a free oil change?" Free oil change? I'm good with that... I was looking for my car to be fixed. Well, in all fairness, they did give me a diagnosis and said "I think something in the back is broken." So, I took my car down to a place in Irvine by me... And they said the EXACT same thing my boyfriend & friend did. and YES, there IS a distributor cap! and YES, that's exactly what's wrong with it! Something a free oil change can't fix. read more

Whatever your problem is, they can fix it. Very reasonable prices. The owner and mechanics are very nice and accommodating. They refill your fluids for free if they know who you are, and would even rotate tires for free. Highly recommended. read more

Great establishment. They've always been very helpful every time I've gone and have never unnecessarily charged me. In fact, I went simply because I couldn't unscrew my oil filter housing and they installed a new oil filter. I forgot I had an OEM filter I had in my trunk so they just took that one and charged me $5 for the labor. read more

A few years ago I went and they fixed the car axl .. I don't remember the price but I do remember they took my car in last minute because I had a baby.. Today I took my kia because the belt was squeaking.. I called kia dealership first and they said its be $200 minimum.. These guys said sorry we don't fix kias but we can look at it for free.. They tightened belt, squeaking gone so far.. Yeah, FREE.. The owner was very quiet about it not trying to get attention over it.. When I said are you sure he waved me off bye bye lol thank you!!! read more

This is a great service. I came in to check out a charging problem with my battery. Chu An quickly diagnosed that the alternator is not giving enough voltage. Offer to replace the alternator for $150 (part+labor). The price is cheaper than other repair shops. As an extra service, they helped fixed some cosmetic damages in my car free of charge. read more

DO NOT COME HERE, PERIOD. I came here for the oil changed, I got home and saw oil drops on the drive way, I used the torque and to check if the oil nut was tight strong enough. OMG, the guy did not tight it, no integrity. DO NOT COME HERE. PERIOD. read more

This area is predominantly vietnamese so obviously about everyone working here is vietnamese but they have workers here that speak English well also. Surprisingly I was the only asian customer when I came in. Everyone else was Caucasian or non asian lol. a pretty small auto shop but they get the job done at a good price and good rate. Workers here are nice and helpful. You're here to get your car fixed not eat, so don't expect such a nice auto shop. It's an auto shop and it gets the job done. When I went to get my car fixed they were open on a rainy Sunday working on my car! Such hard dedicated workers! Will definitely be back to get my car serviced if I need to! Hopefully they don't change customer service or pricing. read more

This place is okay, the name of the guy is *Chu An*, he has a team of posse to fix your car. I usually go here for my service/3000 miles about $45-$50, cheaper than the dealership. Give them a try, a bonus if you speak Vietnamese. read more

Awesome place and great personal service!!! They fixed my Honda Pilot 2005 for a leaking at the rack's boot (steering wheel) and the axle boot. Honestly, replaced a new axle of course and seal the rack's boot instead of replacement the rack pinion as general mechanic suggested that saved my time and a lot of $$$ for doing it. I am impressive for the professional service to fix the right thing for a very good price!!!. These guys here are truly showed through their passion and craftsmanship. They work by their heart and enthusiasm that make me feel very comfortable about the job. No hassle! They took responsibility what they have done and warranty for a part and labor clearly in paper with the receipt. In short, I would recommend all of you still being conservative to shop around...etc. Please come to see him for free estimate to make sure bring it home with a peace of mind and satisfaction ! No doubt about it! Being worth with 5 starts job !!! Thank you guys! read more
