I received top-notch service and professionalism from the owner and his son while having my truck serviced today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They both treated me like a long term faithful customer even though it was my first time ever using them to service a vehicle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were extremely thorough checking my trucks service history and only recommended servicing what was absolutely necessary. There price for parts/labor was and turn-around time was quick. I will definitely recommend this shop to anyone. read more

They are a true mom and pop faith based business!! It's refreshing!!! Don't take your car to a dealership.. In my experience, you are way overcharged and unnecessary work is recommended, and NOT needed! They are the best!! Thank you California Car Care!! read more

Friendly quality auto mechanics. Honest people who dont try to take advantage of the customer.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner and mechanic are great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were available on a Friday morning and finished same day, so that there was no worry over the weekend about having a car. The estimate was comparable to our usual mechanic that was out of town. The business is enthusiastic about their Christian faith and Jesus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt it as reassuring for me as a first time customer and woman.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We even expected to need a new starter and possibly a battery. He checked all free and charged the battery without any additional cost or need for repair. Definitely exceeds all the expectations of QUALITY, EFFICIENCY & VALUE. I may just be switching mechanics. read more

Phenomenal service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a wonderful, knowledgeable crew working here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We thought my husband's truck was in pretty bad shape when we brought it in and the mechanic and owner prepared for the worst for it...they gave it a good look and said it was something much less and easier! They got it done within a few hours! Truck runs great! Will definitely be back and refer friends here! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I just can't deal with the son anymore , such bad attitude worst customer service behavior[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dad is perfect been a customer for a long time but I will not return any more now that the son is in the front office[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]they've moved locations two doors down just walking into that and seeing his attitude again just won't go back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Huge thank you for being absolutely amazing--professional, honest, and truly godsent![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After dealing with terrible service from places like Affordable Automotive Fixauto and others charging sky-high prices, this company was a breath of fresh (cool) air. Fast, fair, and trustworthy. I won't go anywhere else for AC service again or other services ,,,Highly recommended!!!! read more

Having just moved to town, and in need of having my pads and rotors replaced, I came across California Car Care via AAA. In speaking with Daryl both on the phone, and at the shop, I knew I was in good hands as he took the time and gave me a detailed run down on the issues as well as presented good pricing and scheduling. What I appreciated was the honesty, particularly that I could easily get by on my front pads for another month (my back ones needed to be replaced ASAP) as he could have given me the "Oh f***" scenario. I had a great experience and will be back again. Highly recommend." read more

I highly recommend this place to everyone This was one of the most positive experiences I've had at a mechanics shop ever! Daryl was so nice to me and helped me with my alternator problem very fast! Daryl and Scott were extremely helpful as well and did a fantastic job on my truck! I'm very grateful to meet all of them , very genuine nice people that actually care for their customers and know exactly how to execute the job and won't rip you off. Daryl fed me and made sure I was took care of, the man is truly a brother of Christ. They'll definitely be seeing me in the future. The shop is very clean , very nice office and relaxing environment. It's safe and definitely recommended! Should be your very first option on your list when you need to care for you car! read more

My car stopped in middle of the freeway this morning. Tow truck company, took me to this shop. It had been a horrible morning! [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the gentlemen at this shop were so AMAZING. Friendly way above and beyond![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Explained every step. Checked in with me often.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just a blessed experience. Special thanks to my mechanic Sammy !

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Derek was very honest and knowledgeable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Told me all the pros and cons about my car.[[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciate honesty and courteous customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back and tell people about this business. Thank you! read more

Honest, quick, reliable, fair priced, friendly etc... Can't say enough good things about these guys! Thank you!! read more

A family owned and operated business that is as honest as the day is long in an industry filled with unscrupulous business owners looking to fleece unsuspecting customers. These guys went out of their way to get my daughter on the road to college by working all night on her truck! Who would do that?! These guys. They are the best! read more

I am current customer and brother in Christ of the owner Daryl and his sons. These guys help me with keeping my 2005 Chevy Tahoe chugging along. I recently had them install a new steering box as the old one was feeling sloppy. Derek (Daryl's son), made sure to order the best remanufactured steering box for me at a fair price, and have it installed in a couple of days. An alignment was also performed after install. The steering feels solid and the vehicle is no longer pulling aggressively to the right. All of their past work on this vehicle has been above board which gives me a solid peace of mind for future repairs. If you're looking for an honest and fairly priced auto repair shop, and also want to support a locally owned Christian business, then I highly recommend California Care Care. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Daryl and his crew treat you like family![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I won't take my car anywhere else. Always honest and will even tell you if your car does not need a repair when you thought it did. This mom and pop shop restores my faith in mechanics! read more

I had my car towed there based off a recommendation from AAA. When my car arrived, Chrysler 300 sport , they made sure to let me know it was there and kept me updated and informed on what the problem was. The people working there are very kind and friendly and will help you get the repairs you need done and even took it a step further by letting me pay the total over a couple of weeks (it was a lot of money due to a lot of work needed to be done). I can't say enough about this place. I highly recommend them and now it is the only place I'm taking my car to, as well as my other cars. They did an excellent job and I really think they are one of the few rare honest businesses out there in automotive services. My car runs beautifully. 5 stars for sure. read more

They threaten to refuse to fix my car again after they failed to do so the first time if i didnt edit review. Called me psycho too while yelling at me on phone. Update: From what should have been a free inspection of a functional car turned into a nightmare. Somehow 24 hours after they touched it my knock sensor went off, towed car back to them since there inspection pointed out a few other things, and thought my car was set after they 'fixed' it. Knock sensor went off again 24 hours later after getting car back after repairs but while on the freeway!!! Very scary. So knock sensor magically broken again somehow?? but they claim my engine wasn't knocking after first repair, towed it again, went back, and demand they fix what they failed to after first repair. Got it back second time and both cooling fans for engine and AC magically broke (was hissing loudly moment i turned it on after getting back 2nd time). Come to find out there was ZERO freon in there!!! Both magically happened after car was returned to me for second time; but somehow missed both those things on there first inspection??? very unlikely. Went to new place to find out about AC and 2 broken fans they only claimed one was 'broken' and was still drivable but if I drove it could have seriously damage my car!!!! i suggest you go elsewhere for automotive repairs. rude people & crappy service. read more

They refer themselves as a mom and pop shop, and they are the best shop in town.if you have an old car that need parts they will help you find them,they never give up. read more

My check engine light came on and I called them to see if I was able to get it checked out. They were extremely busy of course because it was Monday. But they told me to bring it in they would at least take a look at it. I was in and out in 15 minutes. Thank God! It wasn't anything major. They reset the error codes and I was on my way. I have been here several times to get different repairs done on my car. They are very reasonable on repair costs. Most repair places always tell you that something needs to be repaired immediately. They have on more than one occasion told me I did not need to get something repaired And saved me lots of money. They are honest and reliable and go above and beyond. They treat you like family like having one of my relatives. Look at my car for me. read more

I was very impressed with the professionalism and kindness of the staff. Daryl, Derek, and his other son (didn't catch his name) were very welcoming and very attentive from the moment I walked in. I appreciate the hard work they did on my "Hot Rod KIA!" Thanks so much!! read more

A wonderful business that looks out for the customers best interest. They will never up-sell you. We have been going here for over 15 years. They treat us like family. We will always bring our vehicles to this family run repair business. Thank you CCC! Colleen W. Always happy customer We keep coming back Best customer service in the Inland Empire read more

California car care did an excellent job on my 2001 GMC Sierra c3. My transmission went bad and the work they did on it was excellent. My truck feels awesome. They also repaired a few other issues that my truck had which I knew about but was hesitant to get them repaired due to being new to the area and not knowing a reliable shop to take it to. Thank God I found this shop and will be bringing in my cars in for reliable service. Daryl and his son are very thorough very polite and make you feel at ease with the repairs needed. I've dealt with many shops before where they don't update you take weeks for any repairs to get done and are not upfront with costs. Nothing like that with California car care. I had an excellent experience and highly recommend this shop. read more

I moved up to Murrieta a year ago and was in the need to find a new mechanic. I found CCC after looking at many reviews and asking around. CCC is absolutely one of the best shops I've taken a car to in the past 25 years of taking cars to mechanics. I always get a little nervous taking my car to any mechanic as I'm no expert in automotive repair. I spoke to Daryl and he made me feel confident that he would take care of my needs and my car. He gave me an honest assessment of the situation and gave me a great price on the list of work I wanted and needed. It was near the holidays so Daryl even offered to spread the payments over a couple of months since I wanted quite a few things done to my car. Also, if you have any love for the military, you'll love this shop. It's like a little military museum in the reception area. Best of all, just talking to Daryl for a few minutes, you will be able to tell that he's just a great human being, full of positive energy and faith. As long as I live up here, there won't be any other shop I'll take my car to - besides the dealership if it's covered under a warranty :P Thanks Daryl. I can actually look forward to dropping off my car again. read more

I kid you not, I would trust the owner of California Car Care with my life. I don't even remember his name, but I hired them to inspect a car I was looking at purchasing because the car had a pretty serious accident on the CarFax. He gave me a very concise expert opinion on the condition he felt the car was in, and told me not to worry about the $50 inspection charge. I insisted that I would pay him since he provided a valuable service to me, and we decided that when I bought the car, I would try to use his shop to do some minor maintenance, and I'd pay him then. Six months went by, I bought the car but I live about 30 min away from California Car Care so it didn't work out for me to have it repaired there. I just remembered the other day that I never paid this guy $50 for the initial inspection, so I called him today and explained the situation. I insisted again on paying him but he absolutely refused and wished me well. Such a good dude, makes me want to pay it forward and forgive my debtors. All you people who gave this place 1 or 2 stars: stop, just stop, y'all lying and you know it. Thanks CCC! read more

Finally, an honest repair shop where you feel like you are talking with a friend. I've brought all 3 of my vehicles over in the last 4 years and the repairs have only been made to what the pro was. No upselling, reasonably price and good solid people. Highly recommend. read more

We had to get our alternator replaced and were referred to Calif car care by our Triple A man who came to assist us. He highly recommended them and glad he did. They are a nice family operated business and delt with us with complete courtesy and they were very efficient. They even have payment plans available if needed. read more

Brought my car in for brakes and rotors after leaving another place that quoted me a price over the phone then wanted to charge me more than double when I got there! Thankfully for me I found this "Mom & Pop Shop" on Facebook. They got the job done at the price they gave me and delivered at the time they said! I will be a forever customer. Daryl and his team are knowledgeable and definitely not scammers unlike some other places. read more

CCC did a great job on our car. Daryl and his guys are definitely knowledgeable mechanics that you can trust your cars with. Looking forward to doing more business with CCC in the future. read more

Derrick was over the top kind, informative and helpful during the whole process! My cars starter had been going bad for a while, sometimes I could get it to start and other times it would not. I have been putting it off as I thought that it would be extremely costly and especially with the holidays here, I just didn't think that I could afford it. Derrick took my car in the next morning after I called, and had it back to me within two hours! The price was more than reasonable, and although I had forgotten to ask for my core back, Derrick informed me it was already ready for me in my backseat all boxed up ready to turn in for my core deposit! This is such a nice family and friends oriented business. All of my family and friends continue to frequent this shop as it is one of the friendliest and honest shops in town. Thank you so much Derrick and all of your mechanics! God bless you guys read more

I took my Ram Diesel in for oil, brakes and a fuel filter and I could not be happier. The young man at the counter may be the nicest mechanic I've ever met. I'll never go anywhere else. read more

I brought a vehicle to Daryl and the team a couple years back that I had traveled out of state to buy. This vehicle had issues that were far more serious than I was lead on to believe by the seller and I was in way over my head. These guys were able to get me in the same day and helped me more than they'll ever know. Forever grateful for the excellent service, pricing and work they provided. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone in need of service or repair. read more

Finally found an Honest place to take my cars too! Thank you Derek and family for taking care of our cars..

I usually do work on my own car, but anything I don't have the tools or skills for, I trust Daryl & his team at CCC. Daryl does a great job at making you feel like family in his shop, even if you only just met each other. Friendly & knowledgeable staff, affordable pricing, & overall trustworthiness is why I trust CCC with my car & cash. read more

They explained everything so well to me! Went out of their way to get a part sooner and got me back on the road rly fast. I've been burned by plenty of other auto places so this was refreshing!! Derek was so helpful!!! read more

I cannot begin to express how much I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this place. This Mom & Pop shop is run by the most sweetest family & treat you like you're one of their family member. Offering the best service & prices they can. I will DEFINITELY be coming back for anything & everything my car can possibly ever need. Thank you so much Darrell for all the help that was given to me today. You are all appreciated. read more

Bring both my cars in whenever we have trouble with them. Often without appointment, just pop in. Still get great service. Cannot recommend them enough. Fast, effective, good prices. Every. Single. Time. Thanks guys! read more

I love this place, I have had my share of experience at other car places in surrounding areas and this is by far the most honest, fair, and friendly place I have ever been. They always have the lowest prices too. I won't take my car anywhere else since I found them. Thanks guys! read more

I just spent 5 hours in this shop patiently waiting for a brake job to be completed with my 3 year old son, Captain Kyle with me. 5 hours!!! How did I do it? Because of Daryl, his son Derek and his staff at CCC. It took 5 hours for Daryl's staff to not rush through anything. Taking their time in making sure the new brakes on my car were worth saving my family's life one day. Inch by inch, and! Daryl and Derek continuously checked on us, even offered us a ride home so my son and I weren't waiting so long. Listen people YOU DONT GET THIS SERVICE FROM YOUR MIDAS, WALMART, or BRAKES PLUS?! If there is such a thing if you live in the Temecula/Murrieta/Wildomar area. This is the absolute ALL CAR MAINTENANCE spot, period. Most importantly the owners of CCC are extremely Military friendly. I got a full tour of their military appreciation walls! Drove my car home, testing the brakes at every opportunity. WOW!!! So impressed. This "mom and pop" shop is the REAL DEAL. I don't routinely trust mechanics, but today - my views have changed drastically. CCC is my new mechanics, nothing less than perfection. read more

They took great care of my car. They are honest and all the guys i met there were so polite and kind.

The best auto shop I've been to hands down. Very respectful very honest and to the point. I've hand many bad experiences with auto shops and I have finally found a good one. I recommend you come here before anywhere else. They will help you and not burn a hole in your pocket. I will be back again and again! read more
