Engine light on..again…read more Early Sept 2025 I was driving to downtown SB from Goleta when I noticed the engine light was on. I called Oren's Automotive to schedule an appt. to determine the problem. The following week I went to Oren's and they diagnosed the problem to the EGR vacuum modulator and ECR relay. Both parts were replaced and the engine light turned off. A week later the engine light came back on. Scheduled another appt. end of Sept. Further diagnostic testing revealed the ECU computer required replacing. ECU was replaced and engine light & error codes no longer showing. Early Dec called Oren's for smog check and Oren's got me in immediately. Smog cert received just in time to renew my registration before it became past due! Thank you Oren's Automotive!! A couple of days later however the dreaded engine came back on - huh?? It was determined the ECU replaced end of Sept. was faulty. New ECUs are no longer available and only used ECUs can be purchased. Due to the lead time of the ECU to arrive at Oren's and other factors, the ECU was replaced end of Dec. It is now the second week of January 2026 and no issues so far! From early Sept to Dec 2025 Oren's Automotive performed exhaustive diagnostic trouble shooting and test drives which amounted to considerable time. I was not billed accordingly for the labor hours put towards my antiquated 2001 Toyota. Now I know Oren's Auto lost money fixing my car - they did this so I wouldn't be without a car. I offered to pay for some of the costs on two occasions to make sure things were right, but my offers were refused. Oren Glasman, owner of Oren's Automotive, stands by his shop's work. Oren is fair, honest and truly cares about his customers and when someone is in trouble with their car. I posted a previous review of this automotive repair shop on July 31 2024. The Santa Barbara area local weekly magazine has named Oren's Automotive the Best Automotive Repair shop for 2023, 2024 & 2025 based on annual voting for 'Best Of' the Santa Barbara area for different categories (food, breweries, auto repair, clothing etc.) A huge thank you once again to Oren, Eric, Gilbert and the rest of the team at Oren's Automotive!

My papa told me my uncle's car (simlar to mine) had issues with the EGR and I should get mine check to see if it needed an EGR cleaning. Oren's shop asked me some questions and informed me for the price and year of my car, they didn't recommend getting it cleaned yet. I appreciate the honesty and know if I need an honest car shop, this is a place to go.

This was my first time having my 2008 Subaru Outback XT serviced at Kiwi…read more The past 3 years I put very few miles on the car and knew it needed some TLC, not the least of which a new A/C belt and main belt. I had a feeling the front axles were going to need replacing and that the brakes were about ready for new pads. Also wanted the oil changed. All the work was well done in a timely manner, and the price was fair for the work done. I used to sell Subarus so I knew what the dealer would charge. They're more reasonable than the dealer. Didn't have the brakes done yet because the pads are back ordered and I was still okay, but I'll be returning for that work. They also caught a bit of power steering fluid seeping from around a seal, and the hose is original. They added a little dye to the fluid and after I drove it for a few days I took the car back in and they took a look, and sure enough, it's getting close to needing that fixed. I try to keep the car in top working order so I'm having that done shortly also. Not everyone is skilled at working on Subarus, but they came highly recommended, and it was a good referral.

EZ Automotive is the shop you've been looking for!…read more I've been bringing my 2011 Hyundai Elantra to John and his incredible team at EZ Automotive for years, and I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else. When I was first searching for a mechanic, I combed through reviews looking for honesty, skill, and real customer care. When I found John, I immediately felt I was in the right place, and every visit since then has confirmed it. John is the kind of mechanic everyone hopes to find: honest, thorough, and patient. He always takes the time to explain what's going on in clear terms, and he works with me to prioritize the most critical repairs while being sensitive to my budget. That level of respect and transparency is rare. On my most recent visit, I thought something might be wrong with my car. The team called me in quickly, and when I couldn't make it, they even followed up a week later to remind me. They test drove my car, checked everything thoroughly, and added a fuel cleaner at no charge just to make sure things were running smoothly. Whenever something doesn't feel right, they go above and beyond to identify, diagnose, and resolve the issue. It's not just John. Tiara in the front office is always professional, kind, and makes scheduling simple. She makes you feel welcome the second you walk through the door. Together, they've created a shop where you know you're in good hands and that they genuinely care about their customers. What really stands out to me is that John and Tiara feel like family. You can tell just by talking to them that they both have strong family values, and that means a great deal to me. It says so much about the kind of people they are, and it shows in the way they treat their customers. If you want a shop that combines honesty, expertise, and genuine customer care, look no further. EZ Automotive has given me complete peace of mind about my car, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a mechanic they can trust for the long haul.
