PS. This is my first review. I only signed up to Yelp to let people know how awesome this shop is. Hard to find honest people who charge fair! Michael's Auto Wrench 2.0 tagline says it all, "The Quality of Yesterday With The Knowledge of Today" We moved to the High Desert in 2007. We've been looking for a great mechanic/shop up here ever since. Continued to drive down the hill to awesome (also highly recommend) Johnny's Automotive in Arcadia. Finally in 2020, 13 Years later, after a recommendation from a friend (thanks Dot!) we are so ecstatic to find Michael at Auto Wrench 2.0 in Hesperia. You know you have found someone Awesome, when you find out that a simple *heater isn't working* job, on the vehicle you just dropped off for a quick turnaround, turns out to be a bigger problem that requires a more extensive and involved need of repair. 1997 Ford Explorer (39K original miles). He Did Not say sorry, too old, too complicated, can't fix! Michael and his team have a true "can do spirit" found in elders, not as frequently in the younger Remove & Replace generation. This was not an easy problem to be solved. You should ask Michael to tell you details. You will be more than impressed! Basically he custom made a needed part out of a new Ford Excursion (or Expedition) part, until it fit and worked perfectly!!!!! Had to keep installing it, and uninstalling it until they got it working great. And did not keep charging for each and every time they had to do this. Finesse work!!!! Lots of companies reproduce parts for old and common cars, like this 1997 Ford Explorer. But because covid deemed them *not essential, these companies were completely backed up with unfilled orders. Manufacturing new old parts came to a virtual standstill. Michael could've said (and I'm sure many shops would've) Gee you will have to wait until this covid thing settles out, before I can get the part to fix your car. Nope, thought outside the box, consulted people for confirmation, went with an unconventional fix that worked! I'm not sure if anyone else could have completed this job!! Grateful to find you Michael!! You too Stacy!! Good communication team. Trustworthy, fair pricing, on the lower side. For all his work, we felt the price would be much higher. They worked very hard at this for a long time, until it was fixed & perfect! Also, doesn't overcharge if you bring in your own oil for an oil change. We buy our Mobil 1 at Costco when it is on sale. We had one place quote us $65 if we brought in our own oil. Michael charged us under $20 to change oil and filter, with our oil. We are extremely grateful for Michael and his Team at Auto Wrench 2.0. Worth the 13 year wait! read more

My husband and I recently moved to the Victorville area,and our AC was in need of repair. A family friend recommended Auto Wrench with a glowing review so we had high hopes. It turned out to be one of the worst experiences. My husband went alone as I was busy that day. He is a fair skinned latino man. This information is relevant because the owner (John) did not know my husband was latino and almost immediately started ranting about "blacks" and "Mexicans". He spoke about how they are dirty and lazy, and said that Mexican people sneak over to America so that they can live off of the government (amongst other things). My husbands was completely appalled and shocked by these comments. John had initially given my husband a simple explanation of the problem with our car that wouldn't be extremely costly,but upon my husband speaking up and saying that he himself is in fact Mexican John changed his tune. He was clearly shocked and tried to back track,yet he also interestingly suddenly realized that many other things were wrong with our car. Suddenly our car needed repairs that would cost upwards of $1000+. We quickly informed our friends so that they could stop giving their hard earned money to this person. I would never take the time to leave a negative review if it weren't necessary. I understand these businesses are people's livelihoods. Yet I cannot stand by as innocent hardworking people unknowingly hand their money over to a person that has no respect for them. Needless to say we do not recommend this establishment or it's services to anyone. read more

This was my first experience with this company & it was a Amazing Experience. They treated me with Professionalism, & with Respect. Assuring me that my car was in good hands. I waited in the waiting room, was talked to by the Lovely Customer Service Lady in between lots of incoming calls, & other customers that were being helped besides me. I had to use their restroom it was very clean. They kept me updated on exactly what was being done to my car. It gave me sense of relief. My over thinking was quickly calmed down because I went online researching, & reading which quickly had me thinking that it was something major even though my car is a 2016, but it was only the battery. Thank God & Thank Auto Wrench. The mechanic named Steve refused the tip that I offered him, saying No Thank You, that my business was indeed enough, I felt my heart Smile, because Real Customer Service had finally came back, because the money does come from the other side of window, so it's people, repeat customers, word of mouth that refers people to a business that keeps them in business. A company is only as good as it's employees, & at Auto Wrench they went beyond the call of duty to make themselves & this company 5 Stars. Goodbye Sunland Ford you will only see my car if it's for a recall, I found Auto Wrench a place that I Honestly Love & I can afford. read more

I was looking for a new mechanic because my mechanic was going crazy with the prices since Covid. I have a 2001 Cadillac Eldorado with an oil leak, Auto Wrench 2.0 repaired it at 1/4 the cost of my old mechanic. It took a little longer because they found a crack in my oil pan and repaired it at no extra cost to me. I also have a 2014 VIA Motors van that Is a hybrid and has a charging problem. The owner is the only one I talked to in the high desert that knows the existence of VIA Motors products. I will be taking my van to get repaired very soon at Auto Wrench 2.0 Auto Wrench 2.0 is a good and honest shop and that's the two things I look for in an auto repair shop. I live in Lucerne Valley and a lot of people have been asking me where I have been taking my cars to get repaired since I left my old mechanic and I have been telling them Auto Wrench 2.0. Let them know you read my review when you go there. read more

Mi amigo me dijo que fuera a este taller. Todo iba bien , hasta que el dueño comenzó diciendo cosas racista contra Los Mexicanos y Africanos. Me dijo que los Mexicanos son sucios y que solamente llegan a los united states para vivir soportados por el gobierno. Y luego empeso hablar sobre los afro americanos. dijo que ellos nunca tienen dinero y que pasan el tiempo matandose y drogandose. Él me dijo que no iban a cobrar por mirar a mi carro. Le explique que yo soy en realidad mexicano y no me gusto como hablaba de la gente. El señor decidió de repente que me cobraron $80.00 por mirar mi coche. También, de repente se encontró muchas otras cosas caras que necesitaban ser reparados en mi coche. Este fue , con mucho, la peor experiencia que he tenido en un lugar de reparación. Por favor, sepa que usted está dando su dinero a un racista que no te quiere en esta tierra. read more

I had a great experience with this auto repair shop. From the moment I called to schedule the appointment, the staff was professional, friendly, and clear about what to expect. They took the time to thoroughly inspect my car, explained the issue in a way that was easy to understand, and provided a detailed estimate before starting any work. The repairs were completed on time and within the quoted price, which I really appreciated. It's clear they value honesty and transparency--there were no surprise charges or unnecessary add-ons. My car is now running smoothly! It's not always easy to find a repair shop you can trust, but this team definitely earned my trust. I'll be returning for future maintenance and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional auto service. read more

My experience at this shop was the very worst. Stay away. Michael is a lying piece of crap, full of lies. Had my vehicle for 3 months to R&R the motor. Was supposed to rework the motor, after 3 months still no machining of the block/heads. He put the motor back together and reinstalled it. Did not put the oil pan on before he reinstalled it and the pan cannot be installed at this point. He cut down the oil pick up tube to get the oil pan in which now causes an overheat problem if I drive the vehicle very far, so now it just sits. The owner Mike gave me a full refund, but I'm still stuck with a vehicle I can't drive very far. Again, stay away from this shop. Michael can't remember the lies he told me before the lies he just told me. You'll be sorry if you use this shop!! read more

This is the fastest, most honest, and inexpensive shop in the HD! I consider myself a weekend mechanic, I usually do all of the maintenance on my vehicles to save some money. I finally broke down and I brought my wife's Honda here because she had an electrical problem that I couldn't diagnose. There was also a problem with her CV joints that was making a noise. Mike and the guys at Auto Wrench fixed the electrical problem, replaced the headlight bulbs, did an oil change, and replaced the axles all within the same day and extremely inexpensive. This is now my go-to shop in the high desert, I would recommend them to all my family and friends. read more

Alfred F is obviously an idiot. If you look at this reviews, they are almost all negative and he has lots of them. It looks like he has nothing to do but go around trying to pick apart businesses. He needs to get a life. The Auto Wrench installed an entire motor in my Nissan and the car never made a ping from that day forward. I didn't even have to take it back for a simple check up. The car purred like a brand new car. Its the only auto shop where I know that whatever I take my car there for will be fixed right and not have to be serviced for the same thing again. read more

My review would not do justice and be enough to describe Mike's level of expertise, professionalism, integrity and his passion for customer service and doing the job right the first time. Mike has been working on my family's cars and business fleet for the past 7 years. There is no one out there like Mike. If you're looking for peace of mind and a trustworthy mechanic with a great heart, go see Mike!!! By the way, I drive my cars and vans 160 miles round trip from LA to Hesperia to Mike's shop for our fleet maintenance. He's worth the drive! read more

I take most all of my automotive problems to Auto Wrench including my 1997 Wrangler 4x4. They are the most honest people in the auto repair business. On 7/15/19 I took my 2003 Silverado in for a misfunction of the oil pressure gauge sending unit. They found that some critters had made a nest from the firewall material and gnat some wiring to the oil pressure unit. They not only repaired the wires but also cleaned off all the fiberglass which was on top of the intake manifold and hard to get to. Thank you Mike for a great and prompt service read more

The mechanics at Auto Wrench are respectful with their customers and they always believe that the customer is right. The people at Auto Wrench are honest, truthful, and considerate. They do the best work in the business and they are very thorough. NO WONDER THEY'VE BEEN VOTED THE BEST IN THE DESERT FOR MANY YEARS!!! Listen to those of us who have taken our cars, trucks, and SUV's to Auto Wrench for years and will continue to do so. THEY ARE AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!! AND EVEN BETTER THAN ANY OF THE BIG NAME AUTO SHOPS.!!!!!!!! read more

I have been here several times for my 1986 Dodge B350 one-ton van. Mike is AWESOME. Reasonable rates and courteous as it gets. I wasn't sure there was such a thing as an honest mechanic but I really think he's one of the last few honest mechanics around. He caught an electrical issue with my van that could have caused a vehicle fire and corrected the issue. Wow! I can't say enough good things about this place. Thanks again, Mike. Stacey and Tim are awesome too. :0) You guys rock! Lisa read more

My parents have been customer's as are my husband and I of Auto Wrench since the mid 80's. We took a pickup truck that we purchase for our son to have a thorough check mechanically before we let him drive it. John had the truck all day and finally gave up because there were so many issues that were not disclosed to us. He felt so bad that we had purchased such a POS that he didn't even charge us the $125 fee. That's an HONEST businessman! Thank you, John and your staff!! read more

I've been patronizing Auto Wrench since the early 90's and have always received honest, quality work. From bumper-to-bumper inspections of recently purchased new vehicles to complete engine rebuilds I have been pleased with the value and service I have received. A brake job from Auto Wrench for my Tundra lasts me two or three times as long as one from the dealer. I have recommended them often and my referrals have never been disappointed. Keep up the fine work, John! read more

I took my car in on Wednesday after being told that the evaporator was broken. I asked for quotes from a lot of places and Auto Wrench 2.0 was the only one to give me a straight answer. The diagnostic was included in the price. Anyhow it turned out that the dealership lied to me and it wasn't my evaporator at all. What cost me 900 dollars to fix last year at the dealership cost me 688 dollars to fix at Auto Wrench 2.0. Love it. Would do business again. read more

This place is great! Went to have my wife's car serviced about a month ago. From start to finish the guys at auto wrench really made me feel comfortable allowing them to work on the car. They drew me in with the special full synthetic oil change. Service was great all around and Mike at the front was very pleasant to work with. I'll be back for my future repairs based on the service alone. A great value mechanic that really cares. read more

Auto Wrench 2.0 is a nifty tool for any landscaping project! It simplifies the process of tightening and loosening hardware, making tasks so much easier. While it's not perfect, its ergonomic design and durability really do shine. The adjustable features are a game-changer and save time. Overall, a solid choice for both pros and DIYers! Just wish it had a few more accessories included. read more

This place a great find. Dropped my truck off. Had it a several shops and no one could figure it out. After talking to Mike and talking about the issue I left it to be diagnosed . He found the problem by the end of day . He had it fixed the next morning and it has been back to running perfect ever since ! Place is amazing and is my go to shop from now on !! read more
