    Can't recommend this shop enough. Candido is the most honest and fair priced mechanic I've ever come across, and the quality of work is top tier. He installed a 3.5" suspension lift and mounted/balanced new 35" tires on my truck for nearly half of what I was quoted by other shops. I'll never take any of my vehicles to another shop

    Getting Baby Blue serviced.

    The quality and customer service was far out. I was advised on what I needed to give Baby Blue long life expectancy and what not to be fooled with. There's no other place I would trust.

    New Goodrich tires installed and balanced by Candido himself

    Great and honest guy! Was referred to him by another mechanic for new tires. He's honest and reliable. They are located at the BACK of the complex- theres another tire shop at front, dont get confused. Thanks again Candido.

    Candido's Garage is the "real thing," run by the proprietor himself. By going here, you're really supporting small business in its true form. The shop is tucked away in a business complex with a few other auto shops in Orange. They offer a few important services for cars, including brake service, alignment, and oil changes. The pricing on the services is reasonable and fair. The lobby is clean, and all of the equipment in the shop looks current and new. This means they are paying attention to detail, which is really important when it comes to car repair and maintenance. I got an alignment on an older car and the entire process took less than half an hour. Everything was smooth and easy. Mr. Candido himself was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for a reliable place to work on brakes, oil changes, or wheel alignment. Five stars.

    Candido's Garage did amazing Work on my 2023 Chevy Silverado, RST z71! Candido made the experience very easy and stress-free he was very knowledgeable in what I was looking for! He gave great advice and fair pricing. I will definitely be coming again. He installed a 4 inch ready lift in the front 3 inch lift on the rear with 35 inch tires 20 inch wheels. Thank you for everything !!!

    Candido was very helpful when I went to get my wheels switched and alignment done. He was very attentive and answered the phone. The prices were fair and affordable (:!

    Candido have been servicing our service trucks for our business for over 15 years. His service and knowledge in the automotive industry exceeds him. I can't express the gratitude I have for him to finally have his own family business. To this I will say it's about time! I know Candido is knowledgeable, respectful and always does what best for the customer. I highly recommend him, support this new business. This is a good person with great attitude. Good people need good business!

    Honest owner. Trust him to do any work. And love his recommendations to other auto places if it's beyond his ability or not his specialty.

    I had a really great experience at this shop and honestly can't recommend them enough. A few weeks…read moreago, my catalytic converter was stolen, and I had it replaced at another shop. After that repair, my check engine light suddenly came on--even though it wasn't on before. The first shop told me it was a problem with the mass air flow sensor and tried to charge me to fix it, which didn't feel right to me. So I decided to come here for a second opinion, and I'm really glad I did. The mechanic took the time to properly diagnose the issue and walked me through everything step by step. Within about an hour, he figured out that it wasn't the air flow sensor at all--it was just a blown fuse. That alone saved me a lot of money and potentially from being overcharged elsewhere. What really stood out was the honesty and communication. He explained clearly what went wrong, didn't try to upsell anything, and made sure I understood the situation. On top of that, he even aired up my tires for free, which was a nice touch. Fast, honest, and affordable service like this is hard to find. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this shop to others.

    Service requested was spot on, called for a used tired. Fair pricing at 60 otd, it was done…read moreimminent i came back. One of the fastest pit stops I've ever made in my life. George was the gentleman that helped me. Fred was the worker on the register. 10/10 would come back and will recommend to others.

    Jesse is the reason my cat is alive…read more Last weekend, during the Garden Grove toxic chemical evacuation, my tuxedo cat decided that the undercarriage of my cousin's Tesla Model Y was a great hiding spot. It was not. He was wedged in there for 12 hours with no food, no water, and zero litter box access. He was absolutely losing it. I ran through every option. Fire department? Busy with the actual chemical explosion rattling all of OC, fair. Animal control? Ghosted me. My cousin, currently out of the country, tried Tesla Roadside Assistance through the app. Tesla's answer: their technicians are not trained to rescue animals. Noted, but deeply unhelpful in the moment. Two other mechanics passed too. Jesse was my third Yelp attempt and my last real option. He showed up within two hours, no fuss, and got straight to work. He tried everything - the frunk, underneath, removing the right wheel - methodically working different angles for an hour and a half because my cat had chosen the most inconvenient possible position to be chonky in. Jesse stayed patient the entire time and got him out safely. My cat is home. He is fine. He is completely unbothered, as cats are. Jesse showed up when nobody else could. That is not something I will forget. Oh, and his prices are insanely reasonable. If you need a mechanic who will actually show up and problem-solve, Jesse is your guy.

    As you can see by the other reviews, Jesse the owner needs to improve his organization and…read morecommunication to run his business better. My experience was called to book on Monday morning, quoted the price based on easy to describe work and an appointment for Wednesday at 8AM. So I adjust my schedule and am ready. No show, no answer calls or texts until a call at 930 - where he apologizes for issues on Tuesday and will show up at 5PM. Fine. I'll adjust my evening plans too. An organized person would have adjusted plans and communicated Wednesday if they had issues/delays Tuesday. Then, at 2PM calls back and says looking more like 530PM. And then he says... oh? Did I give you a price already? Oh that's actually a lot of work and says it'll actually cost 60% more. That was enough to call it quits. While I can't speak to his mechanic abilities, he fell short on: 1) being able to accurately understand and estimate work before quoting, or worse, stick to his quote when he gets busy 2) ability to plan his schedule and communicate reasonably. I hope he learns from this and other experiences and reaches his potential through better consistency.
