Camarillo Car Care Center is an excellent auto repair shop located on the corner of Lewis Road and Daily Drive near the Camarillo Amtrak/Metrolink Station. I have been going there for my car care needs for over 20 years. They offer great service and their staff is very friendly and they're great at explaining very technical issues. They also offer a free shuttle service if you need a ride, although it isn't always available, particularly late in the day. And also please note they are not open on weekends. One thing to keep in mind is the old saying "you get what you pay for" is very true here. On one hand, they are a bit on the expensive side. So, if you just need an oil change you can find another place that can do it for a lower price. However, if you have a serious issue with your car I can't think of a better place to take it. I've found their work is really good so it works out in the long run since you won't have to take your car back multiple times. Plus, you can get an oil change too if you need one. So, I highly recommend Camarillo Car Care Center for your auto repair needs. read more

I have been trusting Camarillo Car Care for over 30 years. They are always prompt, trustworthy, knowledgeable and fair. I have been recommending them to family and friends for years!! read more

Let me preface this review by saying the 4 stars is strictly for how amazing the staff were. Everyone I spoke to were extremely nice, knowledgeable, and knew what they were talking about. Everyone knows if you take you car to a dealership for service, it will be very expensive for the most part. I needed to get all rotors and brake pads for my 2019 Odyssey and I'm not really wanting to do that kind of work myself anymore so I took the car here for an estimate. Roughly an hour later, I get a text with a bunch of stuff they recommended fixing which is fine but really not needed. However, the price for the brakes with labor was almost 80% more expensive than the dealership. They probably do amazing work but I can price all of the parts out and install myself for less than a third the cost. All in all, I'll likely start doing the work myself because these prices are unreasonable and for someone that doesn't know any better, they are simply being taken advantage of. read more

not a good place to go. For brakes go to Brake Master Camarillo much better. This is a rip off! Also I don't know why so many people use this place! read more

My Mom is almost 80 and lives alone in Leisure Village in town, too far away for me (retired 40 year auto tech 25 as Euro specialist shop owner) to help with her car. She needed an oil change and made the mistake of telling them she wants to do everything necessary "to feel safe" on a 170 mile road trip to a family holiday gathering. They gave her a ride home and were very friendly and nice to her. Proceeded to charge almost $1000 by adding on unnecessary services like induction cleaning and brake fluid flush. This is all "gravy work" meaning profitable, can be done by a C level tech, and not much can go wrong including being able to even tell afterward if the work was actually performed at all. Told her there was NO WAY to fix the tire pressure monitor system without replacing all 4 sensors for around $800 which is true IF your shop doesn't have the tool to test them. Told her the cabin filter and air filter needed changing; I had looked at the air filter not long before and it was fine! Gave a very uncompetitively high quote to fix a benign check engine light issue later. Looks like they treat Leisure World residents as easy marks, which is despicable. My motto in this business always was, "There's enough HONEST work out there, no need to ever sell a customer anything their car doesn't actually need!" Protip: If you believe an auto shop did something wrong or unethical, especially charging a higher amount than what you approved in advance, don't bother with the BBB. Save all your paperwork (and old parts if possible) and file a complaint with the State Bureau of Automotive Repair. As for the review with a picture of used brake parts, the front pads in the back of the picture are not even 20% worn! ONE TIME my mechanics (not on commission) recommended brakes that it turned out were only 70% worn (like the ones in the front of the picture), probably an honest mistake as on that model they were hard to see clearly until disassembly. I told my whole crew I NEVER wanted to find brake pads with this much life on my shop floor ever again, and we spent some time that day going over better inspection procedures and standards. read more

I have complete trust in CCC. They have serviced my vehicles and my kids vehicles for 25 years. They are always reliable, trustworthy and ready to help with any service. read more

My car was having issues starting and it was conveyed to me, by different mechanics, that it was either a bad battery (which I had just replaced a week previously) or the alternator. When I called Camarillo Car Care, Dan made sure to take down all the information I had been given and worked diligently to find the actual problem. Upon several tests, Dan and his team came to the conclusion that it was simply a matter of corroded battery connectors and not the battery or alternator. This not only saved me time, but they found the most affordable option to fix my car, without trying to coerce me into unnecessary repairs. My car now runs perfectly fine thanks to the team at Camarillo Car Care. I will definitely be doing business again with them in the future! read more

I had a flat tire told I can bring it in for a tire repair. Omar the salesman tells me when I arrive I need a new tire. I say no let's do a tire repair telling him I know he's trying to upsell he then refuses to provide service and I call for triple AAA who repairs my tire in front of their shop in 2 minutes of arriving. Because my tires aren't cracked and the hole was in the best place manageable. No inspection was committed and he didn't want to fill the tire to see where the air was coming out of. read more

Dan and Patrick are very customer service oriented. They have been taking great care of my cars for the past 11 years. They stay proactive about the preventative maintaince that my 88,000 mile Lexus needs. They also keep me informed about any cost changes from the initial estimate. They are very professional. read more

Do not go here. The owner here is condescending and talks to you as if your business doesn't mean anything to him. He gets by through bashing other local shops instead of standing by his work. It doesn't matter how much work you plan to get done, he claims he "doesn't need your business". I've never talked to a shop that didn't care about incoming business and makes statements like "this job isn't profitable anyway". Although they may get good reviews here and there it is not worth giving them your business. I am not one to leave a review but they left a bad taste in my mouth. They are over priced plus the the amount you pay you can spend elsewhere and get better service and they will accommodate you. It's not even about price, it's about what you get for what you pay and it is not worth it. I repeat DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Nothing but good things to say about Dan and Camarillo Car Care Company. I was having an issue with my car and Dan took the time to research and find the best solution for me even though that meant taking my car to the dealer since the repair would be covered under warranty. He could have easily sold me a service that might not have fixed my problem, but found it only fair to advise me to try and get the issue covered under warranty first. He is an honest person and puts his customer first. I am truly thankful for the service this company provides and will continue to give them my business. read more

I would give less than one star if I could. This place took advantage of my elderly mother. She went to this garage due to her mechanic being out of town. They told her she needed all new brake pads and rotors. It seemed odd but she trusted them. I asked her to ask to keep the parts. When I looked at them and took them to my mechanic for another opinion, it was clear there was no need for any of the work. Do not trust this business. They took advantage of an elderly female! read more

Dude was rude, patronizing, and condescending. Costs were also waaay too high for the service. Leaving another review because they seem to pay yelp enough to remove bad reviews. Don't go here. read more

They were professional and took the time to explain everything to me. Our car had to stay overnight. They drove me home and offered to pick me up the next day. Of course anything related to a car will cost you something. Camarillo Car Care was honest with me and let me know what was urgent and what could wait. And they offer a AAA discount! Go to them!! read more

They keep my car running like new. I have a 2012 Honda Civic with 90,000 miles. Example: my air conditioner runs COLD which is how I like it. They also put in new window wipers without me having to ask. read more

I recently had my car in for LOF and a/c service. I suspected there were other issues and asked Omer, the advisor, to do a complete check. He kept me informed through the process and answered my questions openly and honestly. This is my second visit to Camarillo Car Care and will not be my last. The team there is thorough, offering clear guidance without pressure and very professional! Thank you, Camarillo Car Care! You have a customer "for life!" read more

If you're looking for an auto shop that's friendly, personable, and have great pricing, COME HERE! Patrick and his team took my mother's worn down van that hadn't been driven in months, to a practically brand new car. They went above and beyond to replace the oil, the battery, cleaned it off, made sure the wiring didn't rust or erode, and even drove it out where the fields are for 15-20 miles to make sure it was running like new again. They took the time and effort to take care of my moms wheelchair accessible van and I can not thank them enough or give them enough praise. I will be back for ALL of our car needs because they care about their customers and treat you like true family. I also want to mention I just found them quickly on yelp because we needed an auto shop on a whim and it was the best decision i've made! Thank you so so much Patrick!! read more

said: "Super helpful and knowledgeable (Dan). Always transparent and upfront." I bring both of my vehicles here. read more

I have been taking my vehicle here for many years now! I wouldn't go anywhere else now! kind and carrying at the Counter and on the phone! dan and guys are always helpful and the work I require is always done in a complete and timely fashion. they always do a follow up and I have never had an issue. I even had the owner himself wash my vehicle one time! they are a 5 STAR FACILITY!!!! read more

Towed to my car to Mountain View Tire but they don't fix Trans. Towed it to Camarillo Car Care because they said they fix Trans and had good reviews on THEIR website. Gave them error code Mountain View gave me for FREE which is standard. Camarillo Car Care charged $140 to tell me same thing! They gave me same error code back & told me $4100 + tax to repair Trans that they don't even do themselves. They farm it out to another shop. NO WONDER they charge a huge assessment fee and don't even apply that if you choose to repair. Dan should have NEVER told me yea tow it over when they don't know ANYTHING about Transmissions. They know the talk but don't walk the walk. Over inflated prices and over inflated egos. read more

My van broke down and was borderline inoperable. I got it to their shop 10 minutes before closing on Thursday and desperately needed it back before the weekend which I knew was a stretch and they were able to get me up and running again by Friday afternoon. I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. I also came back days later with issues regarding my radio and horn and they found it was a blown fuse and replaced it free of charge. There's a lot of mechanics out there that are hard to trust. These guys aren't one of them, honest and transparent the entire time. Thank You Camarillo Car Center! Finally a good mechanic experience. read more

This place gets 1 star because Johnny was polite. Brought my vehicle in for a check engine light and service traction control light, they ran diagnostics check and replaced all spark plugs and cables and said there is a cylinder with misfire and that's the reason for the traction control light. They cleared all the codes and I paid $1,152.50 to get my vehicle back, when I drove it home all the lights came back on and vehicle feels the same. Not satisfied at all with the service and I feel ripped off because they didn't fix anything. Would NOT recommend this place. read more

I needed secondary work to fix a job that was done. As my car was being evaluated, pictures were taken and uploaded so I was able to make decisions easier! read more

Brought my Jeep in because the brakes were not working. They were quickly able to diagnose the issues and others. They had my vehicle back to me following day. They replaced the radiator, master cylinder, rotated my tires and fixed my rear brakes. Every time I go there I receive exceptional service. I would recommend and I will return for future work. read more

So thankful they work on foreign cars too. The Mercedes service shop was backed up for 5 days so we called Camarillo Car Care and they took us right away. Dan took very good care of us and did not give up on the issues with the car until they were solved. Thank you Camarillo Car Care for the friendly service and the expertise needed. read more

Best place to take your car. In fact the only place I trust. I live in Orange County, and have these guys work on my car. They're amazing. Respectable. Helpful. Honest. Professional. Hands down the best experience you will have is at Camarillo Car Care. Omar in particular has always been the one to help me, and even with my frustrations and issues from other dealership mechanics, he's always been super understanding. Which I appreciate. My entire family gets their car serviced here. They're newer to Camarillo, and love Camarillo Car Care. Thank you guys! read more

We are so very grateful to the owner, Patrick Walton, for making himself immediately available to expertly investigate an unexpected tire pressure warning on our car dash as we traveled from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving Eve. He quickly figured out that a tire was over-inflated and re-calibrated the warning system to confirm all tires were now fine for the rest of our journey. read more

I recommend Cam Car Care fir fair, friendly, efficient service, and they are taking extra precautions at this time.

I hadn't had to have a smog certificate in many years. I called Patrick and he gave me an appointment the same afternoon. He made this a very easy process for me. Their waiting room is very modern and clean. The work was done and Patrick was a pleasure to work with. read more

Very informative staff! Giving you great information to make an informed decision on all vehicle repairs and maintenance.

Just had a great, (well, my car was being worked on) with cam car care. My older car needed a fuel pump replaced and it wasn't something I could do myself., Ron and the crew did a great job on that. While there it was discovered the front brakes and drums needed replacing. I was totally informed and nothing was touched unless I authorized the work. Meaning no hidden charges or surprises on the bill! We had the work done even though it meant the car stayed over night while we waited for parts. I got all the old stuff back,( I asked for it) so I know the parts put on were new. The price was fair, the work done right and in a timely manner,( once the parts arrived) and I felt as if they truly cared about me and my business, read more

I ended up having to drive my car across two states very last minute so I took it here to have it looked over before I left - They had it done within 2 hours and Dan gave great recommendations on where to get my car serviced on the other side of my drive. Thanks again! read more

Great staff and mechanics, The owner of the company was very nice and they did great work on my vehicle, the mechanic shop next-door to them "Bergins Automotive" now known as "Matas automotive and trans" worked on my vehicle initially for a transmission & clutch repair but they just broke my vehicle even more and stole my money closed down their shop for about a month so I could not contact them or get my vehicle worked on or my money back then they reopened with a new business name, very sketchy people and I really wish I would have just taken my vehicle here in the first place! they fixed my car and now it runs great I should have just taken my vehicle here in the first place like I said be aware do not go to the mechanics that are next to them though! The shop is very detailed and yes they may be slightly more expensive than other shops but you get what you pay for I promise you these guys will leave you feeling comfortable with the work they did on your car! read more

I was passing through on vacation and had some trouble with my car, called AAA and they recommended this company. WOW they were awesome, got me on the road fast and they were not too expensive considering I was from out of town. I was also impressed with how the shop was run, very professional and clean. I was treated with respect. keep up the great work guys and thanks. PS. i also own an auto repair in Sonoma Co. and these guys I can not say enough about. Brad R read more

I've brought our car here twice. The first time was a relatively major repair, but I feel that they charged us multiples of what it cost them. The per hour service charge also is astronomical (guess the repair guys are making bank). The second time was for a much less major repair, only moderately marked up. Also, I can do without the chastising about changing the oil on the car, as if I'm some sort of moron, parked at home on my ass all day, while my car sits neglected. Condescension and high prices do not make me eager to return. They are easy to reach by phone and the location is convenient, however. read more

They are responsive which is appreciated but they are absolutely out of their minds with their prices. Just to diagnose it's crazy then they keep adding on more and more costs. They treat you like you're stupid and don't know what you're talking about even if you know something about cars. They are also incredibly inflexible, I can't believe AAA recommended them. I was given less than 24 hours to move my car if I wasn't going to have it repaired by them. Talk about crappy customer service! Who does that to someone! read more

This garage charges higher prices than many other places in the county. They had my truck for 7 days...and it was really a one or two day repair. Ordering the wrong parts originally...complicated the process. "Dan" was my contact, and he was a good communicator and he knows the business. All-in-all, they did a pretty good job of resolving my needed repairs. read more

We don't take our cars anywhere else. I completely trust the staff and leave 100% satisfied every time!

It was time to get a smog check. I looked around online and came across Camarillo Car Care Center. It had good reviews and on their website I found a coupon for a smog check. Good deal. When I arrived I was greeted by both of the staff. Omar told me what they would be doing with the car and how the data would be transmitted to the DMV. He made the experience easy. After that, he took me to the waiting area. Very nice. Cushy chairs, tv, refreshments, and a restroom. Then the work was completed; I was in and out in about a half hour. Thanks to the good service and very reasonable price, I'll be back next time my car needs servicing. read more

I wish there was a zero star option. My girlfriend took my car to this rip off for a simple oil change. For a 5 quart synthetic oil change it was $56.00. Today , her elderly mother takes her car in for an oil change on a smaller older car with conventional oil and they tried to charge her $60.00. if you are a woman , or an elderly person needing help with your vehicle, stay away from this place. Ridiculous prices and Horrible customer service... read more
