I have a 1972 Chevy C30 staked with a 350 V8 and 4 barrel carburetor. I was having electrical issues and took it to 2 different local mechanics and they could not fix it. I dropped my truck off with Javier and within an hour he said my truck was ready for pick up. It was the alternator and a burned wire. I have since returned twice with different problems and both were repaired at a reasonable price. I am so happy that I was able to find this place. read more

Batavia Auto Repair - My 1972 - Auto Repair Near Me - Orange, California

I had a check engine light on my 2016 F-150 XLT and noticed a strange chirping noise--like a cricket--when starting the truck. I first took it to Firestone, where they quoted me nearly $8,000 in repairs, claiming the turbos, driver-side exhaust manifold, water pump, and other components needed work. I got second opinions from other mechanics who also said the turbos needed replacement. Even the Ford dealership quoted me an outrageous price for repairs. After doing my own research, I discovered the real issue was a broken bolt on the exhaust manifold. I decided to replace both the driver and passenger side manifolds with an updated design for better longevity--since the original Ford design is known to be flawed. Most places quoted me $1,300 to $2,500 and said the job would take about a week. Then I found Javier, a local mechanic with great reviews. He completed the job in just 2 days and only charged me $800. The repair was done right, and my truck has been running great ever since--this was about two years ago. Javier is an excellent mechanic. I always recommend him to friends and family. He does quality work at a fair price. read more

Javier, is the man. He is honest, hardworking, fast & efficient, and he tries to pass on any & all savings to you. He did more work on my vehicle for far less than the Jiffy Lube up the street said they would do, and he did it in less than half the time they had me waiting for them to even start working on my vehicle. He will give you a good deal, a good price, and good work. read more

The inner CV boot of the front driver axle was split on my 4th gen Toyota 4Runner and I was debating on replacing the axle myself which would require my buying a couple more tools adding to the replacement parts cost of replacing the whole front Axle assembly and inner diff seal (rather than removing, rebuilding & then reinstalling the axle) vs paying a mechanic with the tools to R&R the axle & seal. After making several calls to local shops in Orange looking for a fair and reasonable labor fee for the job, I finally settled on Batavia Auto Repair after speaking with Javier who gave me an estimate on the phone that beat the half dozen other local competitor estimates that I had already received. Once the job was completed, I was actually charged $20 less than the phone estimate he gave me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! Thanks Javier!!! My new best friendly local mechanic! Mike P read more

Absolutely great honest service. I went into another shop who told me I needed a lot of work in my car in order for it to work. I came in to Javier as a referral from a family friend and he fixed it with minimal work and let me take the parts that where not good anymore. I loved that because I now know he didn't charge me or do extra work that I didn't need. I'm glad I asked around for an honest mechanic read more

Javier has been my mechanic for around 5 years, within those five years I have changed cars. And he has serviced all of them. His work ethic is amazing. I know I can take him any care and he will take care of it and leave them perfect. I had been looking high and low for one closer to home but the drive is worth it. Good quality work is hard to come upon. I am lucky I found him. read more

I kind of found Batavia Auto Repair by accident while trying to find a good shop to deal with a stuck valve on my 2009 Jeep Liberty. I already had a good idea of what course of action might be needed and after talking to the owner, Javier, I found him helpful, knowledgeable and very straightforward so I decided to let him do the work. I'm very selective about auto mechanics having run into a few I didn't quite trust, but Javier put me at ease and I'm very happy I found his shop. The car was done early and the workmanship was great. I also found his repair charges very reasonable, especially given what dealers charge. I won't hesitate to take my car back to him in the future. read more

Honest guy! Replaces my driveshaft for me. He took his time explaining how he was going to do it. Gracias amigo!

Fair, Honest, Reliable. Doesn't do more then you need. He will give you a list of what order things need to be done in. Javier has done my Tahoe, F150 and now my daughter's car for the past two years faithfully..This Guy is the real deal. Always a straight shooter. Thanks. read more

Great service, was honest and told me what I needed to get done and what I could wait for til later. I got an oil change, had a belt replaced and brake pads done. Good prices, ask for Javier! read more

Great shop. Helped us out after we hit a metal object on the freeway. Which cracked our oil pan and severed our brake line. Owner had our car fixed within 24 hours and at a very reasonable price. Reliable work and great customer service. Thank you. read more

It's great to find an ethical, fair, competent businessman, and we definitely found one in Javier, at Batavia Auto Repair. After being quoted more than a grand to fix a few smog related sensors, Javier gave us an honest evaluation, and a very reasonable estimate of the cost, and the work was completed quicker than we expected. What more can you ask for? Needless to say, Batavia Auto Repair will be performing the next work we need done. I highly recommend giving Javier a call if you need work done on your car. read more

I had a braking problem with my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport- it was throwing codes left & right, wasn't braking when I started it. I was getting stuck places etc. After taking it to the dealer for $1,200 it was still not braking right- took it into Javier & what do you know... he knew more about how to fix my Jeep than the dealer for less money. Highly recommend this man- he knows more about automobiles than the dealer mechanics! read more

I've taken two vehicles over to Javier and his crew, and both times they took care of me in a timely manner for a very fair price. I was heading out to go camping when my brakes went out in my truck, and Javier was able to get me in and repaired within a couple of hours. Didn't gouge me on the price and I was really impressed with his crew. Since then I've taken another truck over in an emergency and he repaired some work that a high end shop had previously done. These guys are awesome! read more

Javier is an honest mechanic! As a woman I always feel like I'm being ripped off, but not here! Highly recommend him! Depending on your service need he can likely get you in and serviced fairly quickly. But appreciates a call to schedule. read more

I would have given Javier and Batavia Auto (BA) 5 stars up until recently. He seemed to give me fair prices and seemed sincere. Though things changed after I sent a family member his way. After he performed the work on my family member's car, we later found out from the dealership that they charge 1/3rd the price for the same work BA performed, and we also found that unnecessary parts were added (we showed the dealership the invoice to confirm). I didn't want to believe that Javier had deceived this family member after I had highly recommended BA, so to make sure the dealership wasn't just bad mouthing an independent mechanic, I called two other mechanics to see what they charged for the same repair work (parts + labor) and they were both roughly 1/4th the price. Needless to say, I will no longer recommend Batavia Auto or take my car there. read more

A good and honest mechanic. Javier, the owner, treats you like family and takes care of your car as if it were his own.

javier is the best in town, alway gives upstanding customer service and is definitely willing to work with your circumstances.

The prices here are fairly good; not the cheapest I've come across, but good. Javier is an honest guy and the work he does is definitely worth it. Really the only cheaper prices I've come across in town are down the street at Top Tune, but don't bother with them. I had work done at Top Tune on the cheap and my experience with those assholes was a NIGHTMARE. Trust me, it's not worth saving a few bucks to go to Top Tune when you can get a decent price, an honest assessment of what your car needs, and the work is top notch. Oh, I'm writing this review a year after the work was done because I wanted to make sure nothing happened down the road. My 98 Camry has never driven better (almost 200k miles). read more
