He's honest, knowledgeable, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my car is in top shape.

It's hard to find a mechanic who genuinely cares about their customers, but Ray is exactly that. Highly recommend!

I recently took my car in to get serviced as well as get a smog certification (which always makes…read moreme hold my breath given the age of the car). If you're looking for an honest, highly skilled mechanic, S & M Automotive is outstanding and checks so many boxes! I come down from Ventura to see "Shady", and his name couldn't be more ironic, because there's nothing shady about him or his work. He's been maintaining my 2005 Lexus SC430 and has saved me a boatload of money on repairs and maintenance over the years. He's respectful, friendly, and clearly takes pride in getting things right. My most recent service made the car run like it did when it was new. The engine is humming smoothly again, something I've honestly NEVER experienced after a repair or routine maintenance anywhere else and I've owned this car since 2007. And while the name S & M Automotive might make some people do a double take (hahaha), the only thing painful here is realizing how unnecessary other repair bills can be once you find a mechanic this good and dependable. If you want honest, skilled automotive service, S & M Automotive is absolutely trustworthy and dependable.

Despite that, the folks at S&M took the time to do a quick assessment of my car and advise me what the likely problems were. That really helped me assess my options. I could not be more appreciative and, if I lived in the area, I definitely would give them an opportunity to be my regular mechanic.

Kind of a long story but I bought a mk6 gti and I got screwed over with an oil leak 2 days later…read more After finding out about this I made my way over to Andy's automotive because my parents always use them for our maintenance. I go and my parents tell me to go to Pete. Pete however said he isn't the best with Volkswagens so he recommended me to go down to the end to Kane. That's what I did and he immediately came to help me even though he was obviously busy with other cars. I told him the full story and so he plugged the car in to figure out everything that was going wrong with the car. After this he gave me his best recommendations for my next steps. He gave very clear and quick communication to me. He was extremely willing to help with my situation so we scheduled another visit for a deeper inspection. He did an incredible job on the inspection. He has fair pricing, is super communicative, kind, etc. I can't recommend Kane enough to someone looking for basic maintenance or a hefty job, he is incredible and everyone should be going to Kanes for their cars needs.

One of the vehicles was flipped onto its roof. There was an injured person being attended to on the shoulder of the road. So we had to slow down from the posted 65 MPH speed limit to bumper to bumper traffic. My new brakes and rotors performed extremely well. Afterwards, just prior to the descent on the I-5 into Castaic there was a big rig accident that forced Cal Trans to merge four traffic lanes to one traffic lane. A constant stop and go for 40 minutes. Finally, I was on the 126 approaching Fillmore when the upcoming traffic light changed to yellow. I was in "No Mans Land", I needed to make a split decision. Do I press down hard on the gas pedal and attempt to beat the red traffic light and risk seeing flashing blue lights from the CHP officer waiting at the intersection or do I brake and hopefully don't end up in the middle of the intersection causing an accident. I chose the latter. My new front brake pads and high performance rotors grabbed and I was able to stop behind the crossing. No skidding, no screeching tires, just a quiet smooth stop on a dime. As the CHP officer drove through the intersection, as he completed a left turn onto the Eastbound 126 he gave me a nod. A nod of approval. Then the driver to my right gave me a thumbs up. The "power stop system" you and Robert installed on my Tacoma performed exceptional! I can't express my overwhelming gratitude. I have never said this before, but I have never trusted the brakes on any of my owned vehicles more, than the ones you and Robert recently installed. Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you! Art

Can't say enough about Mike and his crew. He is straight-forward with his explanations, transparent on costs, and very helpful in suggesting options. While I expect all Mercedes vehicles to be a bit more expensive to maintain in general, Mike certainly helps to keep costs down and even find ways to plan repairs over time (rather than to charge for every problem all at once). I highly recommend White Oak Mercedes not just to save on costs but for the reassurance knowing that once your car/SUV leaves the shop, you can be reassured that the repair and/or tune-up is solid.
