This was my little Audi's first trip to a non-dealer shop for service. Everyone wants to say how expensive foreign cars, especially German cars, but Jeff took great care of me and my baby!!! I was VERY happy with the price and I noticed a Big difference in how my car performed after her 75k tune up. Thank you, Jeff!! Sorry it took so long to write your review. read more

I came in a little over a month ago to buy a CLA45 amg. It was a 2014 with just under 27,000 miles and one previous owner. Normally you would be weary about purchasing a 10 year old amg. However, if it's coming from paradise, it's a different story. My family has bought 3 cars from paradise over the last few years. That's where my confidence for buying an older car comes from. My salesman Corey reminded me why I should feel confident when doing business with paradise. Putting business aside, he's an amazing dude. Back to business though. Corey is super straight forward, honest, and extremely friendly, just like everyone else I talked to in my short time in paradise. Over in the service department, Mark is a treat to talk to as well. Overall, the entire staff is great from front to back and paradise is the blueprint of what a well ran business looks like. read more

Avery Automotive - Shoutout to Corey - Auto Repair Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

Jeff is great. I came in for a brake inspection and he took me to my car to show me exactly what was up with the brakes. Off the bat, I can tell he was a straight up guy. No BS. I will definitely be coming back to get my brakes done and my car serviced. FYI, make sure you are in the first office on the left when entering the mechanics' area. Jeff's office has a large desk facing the door. If you see a pic of the fam, you're in the right place. read more

Otherwise known as Paradise Motors Auto Service. Tito at this place it this areas top car Mechanic.

This review is way late and long overdue. Avery Automotive and owner Jeff is the single best shop for any of your automotive needs. Jeff is a super nice guy and always does what's best for the customer. He truly cares about customer loyalty, and he gained a customer for life with me. I brought my truck to him with problems that couldn't be diagnosed by any other shop. Jeff even loaned me his personal car to ensure I would have a car to get back n forth to work with. They took their time to look over every inch of my truck, even working with the local Ford dealership across the way to ensure the issues were fixed. I couldn't recommend a better shop than Avery or a better owner to work with than Jeff. Highly, Highly Recommended!! read more

Excellent communication . FIVE STARS. I will write more after I complete my transactuon

My daughter was visiting and her idiot lights came on and her car rough idled. Her mechanic at home had been stumped. Tito worked through the error codes and the rough idle and got it all straightened out over the holiday. Hats off to skill and attitude for everyone here. Pricing is very fair. read more

I was brand new to SJC and my engine light went on. Finding a good and fair mechanic is not always easy. When I saw the positive reviews for Avery I called and talked to Jeff. I was told I would get a 20% discount as a new customer. Jeff was so good and fair that I would have paid full price!! His place is clean with a nice waiting room with WiFi. He offered hand sanitizer and the car was clean when I got in. If you're looking for a place that will do good work in a comfortable and fair setting I highly recommend Avery and Jeff. I've found my mechanic and within the first two months of moving here! read more

I was working on replacing front suspension components on an older Tacoma, when I ran into a snag: the ball joint press on-hand was too small to remove the old upper ball joints. The spindles were both already removed, so instead of trying to track down a new tool, I took them by Avery Automotive to see if they could swap out the UBJ's for me. Jeff and his staff were polite and professional and I was given a very fair quote. We needed this done quickly and they did not disappoint; I was called back 2-3 hours later saying they were all done. I absolutely recommend Avery Automotive and will be back in the future. read more

The team here is extremely professional, knowledgeable and FAST! I got A LOT of work done and they definitely gave me the best deal in town. I'm so excited I finally found my forever mechanic. Life is good! Thank you Avery Automotive!! :D read more

Absolute best car place I have been to, dropped my car off as a new bee and got quoted right away, very good prices!! and you even get a free inspection! very trustworthy company 10/10 recommend!! Jeff the owner is so so nice and really truly cares about each costumer! Thank you Avery automotive:)!! read more

I found Avery Automotive because of a coupon on got in the mail. I needed an oil change and the special was a great price. I looked up their online reviews and they were all great, so I decided to take my truck in for an oil change. Tito was nice and the waiting area was nice as well. The oil change took around an hour and I had asked the guys to check to see if the ball joints on my truck were worn. Up until this point everything seemed fine. The while checking out I the total comes out to the price as promised but there are notes on the repair order with a list of 6 items that they say are wrong with my vehicle. I thank them for noting the items and told them I would have my normal mechanic look at them. So I take my truck to my mechanic and he starts going over my truck to confirm and then fix any issues that were brought up. The first item that was on the list was that they detected that the brake pedal was soft and I was told verbally and in writing that a tech looked saw that my rear wheel cylinders were leaking. Avery automotive wanted to charge me 367.00 to change the cylinders, so I was a little mad when my mechanic took off the rear drums on both sides while I was standing there watching and neither side had cylinders that were leaking. The next item said that my oil pan had seepage and it would be 332.00 dollars to fix. Again I have my mechanic check it out and the oil pan wasn't leaking, my rack and pinion was and since it ahead of my oil pan (closer the front of the truck) the oil from my rack and pinion blowing back onto my oil pan. Thankfully my normal mechanic found the real issue and made my truck safe again. I could have been in a major accident with a rack and pinion that was on the verge of totally failing. The last item that seemed odd was the note about my coolant fluid being diluted and they wanted 130.00 to fix this problem. Just a few months before I had a complete valve job done on my engine and all the coolant was replaced at that time with new coolant to spec. For the other three items on the list one I already knew about and the other two (motor mounts for 550.00 and transmission service for 130.00) I haven't had the time to get those verified yet. Regardless if I would have just taken their word on the other 3 items I would have shelled out $829 and nothing would be any different than it is now. So at this point I am sad that a place that has a friendly staff and a great special on an oil change can use that to earn trust but twist just to make money off of other items the vehicle doesn't really need. Hopefully that is not their intention but in my case it sure seems like it was. Also, the one thing I actually asked them to check (the ball joints) wasn't checked at all. When I took my vehicle to my mechanic to review the items they said I needed to repair, it was found that the ball joints all needed to be replaced. read more

Hands down best customer service no BS fixes at fair prices. I followed Tito here from BMW and as always the man out does himself every time. Fast turnarounds accurate fixes for my BMW 60. Thanks Tito and thank you Jeff for bringing this master tech in, Hes an asset for sure! read more

Great, friendly team with fair pricing and they even fixed a flat for free. Happy to recommend their services.

Since my car is an Acura, and we all know dealerships charge and arm and a leg for service. Especially when they see a "GIRL" coming. This place isn't like that at all. Keep in mind, this dealership is a service center as well. Two different things. Paradise Automotive was referred to me by friends of mine that bring there BMW there and let me tell you I haven't been disappointed yet. The staff is great and helpful. I always get a price first from Acura on the work that is needed to be done then I go see Jeff C. the owner and he always works out a reasonable price for the work that needs to get done. I recently had to get front & back brakes, front & side mounts, and my transmission fluids flushed plus some other work done and Acura wanted some crazy price and Paradise did it for $600 dollars less then what they quoted me. Crazy! I respect their opinion and they are a great team of guys working there. My car purrrr like a kitten and I will always be bring my car back there again and again. Bonus- if I need a ride back to work Jeff is always willing to drive me back or give me a loaner. He's always lookin out. Love it. Thank you for keeping me safe guys. read more

Amazing service and very quick as well! Very clean an amazing customer service! Highly recommend taking your vehicle in for what ever needs you may have! read more

Jeff and Jose are two great guys. Very professional and friendly service. They will take care of you as much as they can. Jeff was on the internet and phone trying to find parts for me for over an hour. Best automotive service I've ever had in my entire life. A high recommendation from me. Thank you guys for all the hard work you did for me! Eric D Taylor read more

I started using Avery Auto for services on my vehicle after a recommendation from a friend, and I have to say that I have not been more satisfied with the work and customer service I have experienced anywhere else in South OC. They always provide outstanding communication with me about the status of my repairs or service and the work has been impeccable. I highly recommend stopping in to see them if you are looking to get repairs or any kind of service done on your vehicle! read more

Took our older LX here for some major coolant line issues after nearly being ripped off by Shade Tree in San Clemente. Spent a lot of time conversing with Jose and the owner. They made sure I understood all before they successfully repaired our SUV. Excellent work! Half the price of Shade Tree with vehicle operating great. I already trust and like their team. Thanks! read more

I have been going to Avery Automotive for about 3 years now. They have done such a good job that I started referring friends. Every single person I have sent to them has raved about the service. Jeff and his team provide good honest work at a great value and excellent service. I can't say enough good things about Avery. read more

Everything about this place is pure class. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The prices are very good and it is clear this company clearly has a passion for the work they do. read more

The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The service was quick and thorough at reasonable prices. I would recommend to anyone who needs a straightforward mechanic! Thank you! Kristen M. read more

I took my car to Avery to have the transmission checked because it seemed as if there were some strange vibrating noises and some rattling sounds coming from it. They checked the transmission and found that the clutch throwout bearing was bad. They told me that there was nothing wrong with the transmission, which was a relief. So, I had them replace the clutch. Not only was the throwout bearing bad, but the clutch was completely worn out. Now, my car is fixed with no more problems. What's even better, though, is the customer service I received from Jeff and Tito. They were both very friendly and helpful, and they answered all of my questions. They kept the parts from my car's clutch and let me go back into their shop to see the clutch and discuss it with their mechanic. This mechanic was so nice and explained everything so well. He answered all of my questions so that I could understand exactly what was going on with my car's clutch and the strange noises I had been hearing. I have been to a lot of shops in the past, and it is hard to find a shop like this one. I won't get into what I have seen in some other shops except to say that it can be pretty sad. People here are friendly, informative, and honest. The cost for replacing my car's clutch was low, and they even gave me a loaner car to drive while my car was being repaired. I am not sure what more you could ask for. Many thanks to Jeff, Tito, and everyone at Avery Automotive for the great service! read more

Jeff is super awesome. No BS, straight to the point and doesn't treat me like I don't know what i'm talking about. I usually have to come in during work with 2 children and he always is such a sweetheart to all of us and has us in and out of the door super quick. It's super affordable as well. I have came here twice and have been satisfied both times and plan to bring it in again since my check engine light is flashing. Overall, I will be continuing to come to Avery Automotive. read more

I prefer taking my BMW here for repair than the dealership. The price is much cheaper. Almost half the price! Jeff and his team did a great job with my car and It was ready right away. Jeff is honest and will treat you like family. My husband gets his car done by him too. We are very satisfied with Jeff. If you want to have personalized service and not be treated like just another face in the crowd, go to Avery Automotive! read more

WOW great deal! needed a budget friendly oil chg and my tire light was on too. Oil chg coupon was honest and the service was great! best surprise ...no attempt to upsell, and they were gracious and giving. rotated tires and set them to proper pressure (ALL at n/c!) even got new mini flashlight out of the deal. Friendly, grateful, demeanor. cold drinks, nice waiting areas, wifi. easy to get to but a bit surprising to be inside the volkswagon dealer. couldnt ask for a better experience! Thanks guys. I will back for other services. read more

Avery Automotive is fantastic. Unfortunately as someone that really doesn't know a lot about cars I need someone I can trust. Jeff at Avery explains things thoroughly and only does what is necessary. I never have to worry about being sold something my car doesn't need. I just bought a new Expedition and will only trust Avery to perform all my services. Thank you Jeff!!! read more

Been going to Avery for over 10 years for every issue with every car. Always top notch responsiveness and a big savings over the other repair shops. They make good on what they promise to deliver. read more

I have owned a delivery service in Orange County for 15 years. Finding a good honest shop is priceless . Our cars and trucks are not making any money when they are at a shop for repairs. The owner Jeff has made a point to do everything possible to get our cars and trucks back on the road for deliveries. Charlie owner Southwest Express Santa Ana read more

I've been going to Avery since I moved to the area in 2014. I really appreciate how Trev and Jeff are very informative and enjoy explaining what needs to be done and why. Jeff usually sends me pictures of things that need servicing showing me the state of the component. I've grown to trust him and really appreciate how he gives me a heads up when he thinks something needs to be serviced... but not yet. That allows me to budget for it in the future. I recently bought a used car and had Jeff and Jose do a Pre-Purchase Inspection on it. I appreciated their experience and insight as they went over the car and gave me a report on things I may potentially have to look into and the current state of affairs. Every now and then, I still get quotes from others and over the past 2 years, Avery has been very reasonable in all the work I've had done there (I have all 3 of my cars serviced here). read more

Jeff answered on the second ring the phone and told us to come on down! So we did. We had a challenging repair list and to make it worse the car was a 1994 van that we were looking to restore and make safe for our college student to drive accross the country. Jeff and his team were up to the task and invested in assuring our son was safe. He was fair in his pricing, quick on his timing, and he was extremely responsive and pleasant. The van is just purring and ready to head out, not so sure however I am ready for it to leave with my child inside far far away :) read more

My dad has been using Avery for all our vehicle services for years. When I come down to visit my parents is when I will have any service needs done to my Jetta. It is great being able to feel comfortable getting my car serviced without having my dad with me. Jeff at Avery is always inviting and helps me understand what my car needs. Recently I had a vibration and when I left to drive almost 300 miles back home my car felt new again. Thank you guys so much! read more

This is by far the most convenient, efficient, and affordable place to get your car serviced. I am both an Uber and Lyft driver so I am relying on my car more than most people. I have got my tires done (they are very competitive with Costco) as well as other necessities to maintain the upkeep of my car. Jose Gomez is very helpful and gets you in an out of there while exceeding expectations. Thank you Avery Automotive! read more

Jeff Cathcart at Avery Auto is straight up and the most honest mechanic I've ever met. %100 Totally took care of my vehicles and my neighbors as well. I would recommend his shop to anyone I know. I truly feel like I have a mechanic that I can take any vehicle to for the rest of my life, as long as I'm living in Southern California. Thanks Jeff!!!! Roll Tide!!! read more

I can not say enough good things about these people. Not only are they friendly and easy to work with , but they also ALWAYS stand behind their work. They have come to our rescue so many times. Never do they try to upsell us or repair things we don't need, they listen and once they find the problem, they explain it to you carefully and give you the cost before doing the work. They are great at reminding you when you need an oil change ahead of time but do not place pressure on you to do it on the spot. FANTASTIC people, INCREDIABLE service. We won't use anyone else! read more

I highly recommend Avery Automotive. I really appreciate working with Jeff, and have absolute confidence in his workmanship and business integrity. I had traditionally had my vehicles serviced at dealerships because I am generally reluctant to deal with the hassle and uncertainty of independent mechanics. However, Jeff has earned my business and that of my friends that I've referred his way. read more

I was at wits end trying to fix my wifes 2007 Triple White VW . It would stop running once or twice a month. Dead it would sit for about an hour then run fine. Jeff went out of his way checked with every Bug forum and fixed it. He went above and beyond he was awesome. Bring your car here read more

We went to Avery Automotive for service and the service was excellent, the repair costs were reasonable, and the work was done fast without any problems. No wonder they were recommended by two separate freinds and the funny thing is they did not even know each other. read more

I've been taking my car here for a few years now and cannot even begin to explain how happy I am with their customer service and most importantly with their honesty. They take the time to explain exactly what's going on and on several occasions have even taken me to my car to show me the issue while explaining it to me. Tito, Jeff, Jose, all of them have spectacular work ethics! Only place I will take my car for honest work! read more

These guys just get it! They are friendly and easy to talk to and extremely fair with their prices. Finding someone you can trust to take your car to can be so difficult, but not with Avery Automotive! I can't say enough good about them! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I will never go to another shop, EVER! read more
