I have had Gregg work on my 67 GTO and 70 C20. Gregg has done great work on my vehicles. Prices are extremely fair and service is fast. I would not hesitate to recommend this shop to anyone! read more

These people don't know what they are doing. Basically had my 2019 ROUSH Mustang tuned by them and been having engine problems ever since. DO NOT GO TO THESE PEOPLE!!! read more

Love this shop - Matt never lets us down. Have had all of our cars/trucks serviced and repaired here for last 8 years. We trust them and their quotes. Brought my Jeep Grand Cherokee there last week for maintenance check and to see if I was crazy that it seemed sluggish. Both Owner and mechanic drove it; they found nothing wrong and no maintenance needed. Keep in mind they are not "cheap", but they are fair and honest. read more

Took our Camaro in as Kirk's Radiator recommended them as Pros. We definitely agree. My Z28 Camaro had low oil pressure. They had some ideas other than just a huge repair quote. It gave us some options for things to try. I appreciate the professionalism and quickness of their assessment. read more

Recently had my buggy tuned here , awesome results , they let me know step by step what was going on with the car and what needed done before doing any extras, have had the car out 3 times so far and it runs perfect. Also had some repairs done on my daughter's truck with no problems, truck was in and out in one day and runs great. Prices are very fair with no up sale. Diagnosis are spot on. Highly recommend. Thank you Matt,Greg. read more

My car overheated two weekends ago right before Smog. Greg and his team were able to help me out on the weekend with a reasonable price. I'm extremely grateful they took the time to help me out late during the weekend when they were probably closed. Thanks guys! read more

The tranny in my Mustang decided it no longer wanted to keep a seal installed. Decided to install a McLeod clutch at the same time considering the amount of labor that was already involved. Long story short, McLeod sent a lemon clutch to the guys and they ended up taking my tranny out 3 times to troubleshoot after I had already paid. These gentlemen got screwed by no fault of their own and were absolute professionals throughout the entire process even though I'm sure they had a few disagreements with McLeod over the phone. Pretty amazing shop and you can tell by the cars that are serviced there that it's worth it. read more

I've taken my Audi to Matt and Greg twice and both times they've been professional and had great communication. I was using a warranty company both times and they made the process as hassle free as you can get. First time was replacing the transmission which was a long process (not their fault) but they were able to communicate with the warranty company the whole time and kept me up to date with the progress. This most recent time was to replace the water pump which they were able to do fast and painless. They are always open and honest about what they recommend and I never get that shady money hungry stealership feeling when dealing with them. I highly recommend Certified Car Clinic and won't hesitate to go to them again in the future. Thanks Matt and Greg and everyone at the shop for always taking care of us! read more

Just picked up my corvette today. I wish I had known about this place years ago. They are extremely good at what they do and are great with their customer sevice. I have been using them for a couple of years now and cant think of anyone I would trust with my vehicles more. read more

Got some dyno tuning done here. They seem to do great work and very friendly with very affordable pricing. Would have given them 5 stars but after I got home I realized I had a vacuum leak due to a evap purge solenoid being broken from working in/around engine bay. Looked like they realized it happen and either forgot to tell me/fix it or weren't planning on it. Also no safe place to drop vehicles after/before hours. read more

Matt and crew have been awesome and prompt on service. Had my new/used Explorer Fluids all replaced, new radiator, Rear Bearings Installed, and Transfer Case Seal Done. Would've cost so much more at the dealership(and probably try to sell me more than I really needed), for equal if not better work. Pleased I have found someone reliable and courteous versus using the dealership going forward! read more

Went here this morning to get an oil change " $14.95 special " but did not have an appt and there were quite a few cars. Did not have to wait long before we were greeted by a guy named David. He didn't try to sell me a bunch of crap and also checked the alignment and brakes. Not only that, efficient and friendly service. Thanks, David! read more

I've taken my car to Certified Car Clinic a few times for various reasons. Each time was a positive experience. The Certified Car Clinic team makes your time a priority by working with efficiency. Once the work was completed, they explained in detail the work that was done to easily understand. I'd recommend them to family and friends. read more

I've always had excellent service from Matt and CCC. They always take great care of my vehicles, they are honest beyond compare and I trust them completely with the care and feeding of my vehicles. The one negative review on this sites is so off base I wonder if there are other intentions at play. The purported experience of the poster is totally inconsistent with the integrity I've experienced with this shop and owner. The reply by Matt, the owner, is telling. read more

It seems that it's hard to find a trustworthy auto repair shop these days (especially as a woman); so when a friend recommended this place to me, I was skeptical to say the least. But - trusting my friends judgement - I took my mercedes here for a brake job and this place was great...Nordstrom customer service all the way! I felt like my baby was in good hands and I didn't feel taken advantage of or like I was being sold anything I didn't need/want. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for one of those rare 'trustworthy auto shops' - this place is it! read more

I have a 2005 STS Cadillac, I went to the dealership to get my routine oil change and tire rotation done. They told me that it needed all the fluids changed and also spark plugs replaced. To make a long story short they quoted me $2000.00 and some change so I decided to give Kelly and his crew a chance to quote the job and they quoted me half the cost. So I took them the car and they did an outstanding job they also pumped up my tire which they were really low on air. I have to say that Im pretty upset with the dealer because they never mentioned that the tires were low on pressure. I mean 12 lbs on one and 20 lbs on all the rest. This car belongs to my wife so of course I'm going to be really concerned about ever taking my car back to the dealer. Kelly and his crew go out of their way to make a customer happy. Thanks guys for the awsome work and quick turn around. read more

I thought I found a shop to take good care of my supercharged 03 Cobra. Went to CCC in Santee and so far I'm not satisfied at all. I paid 2 times to fix a problem with intermittent start issues. Still got the probrem. Seem like parts changers to me. Spent 3000.00 got new plugs, claim to have installed new fuel injectors, saying they were leaking by causing the cylinders to flood with fuel and not start. Bullshit!!! I guess the new injector are leaking 4 months later. Also got a new clutch but gears are very hard to shift. Today 4 days out of there shop, Matt the freakin owner, response was I don't know what to say, when I called him to tell him I'm stuck and don't know why I still have this issue after being in your shop twice for this. Wow!!! All I can say is, if your hot rod needs work. You should find someone other than CCC. read more

Greg and crew are awesome! Reasonable prices and honest. No up sell on services not needed. If you are looking for a great shop do not hesitate to get work done at CCC read more

came here on a recommendation from another not so full service auto shop. everything seemed to be going well until the difference in opinion between a few workers had us lobbying up $200 instead of an initial $80 quote. super informative but seemed a little sketchy. read more

I have an 01 Suburban and the A/C was not blowing cold. I know a few things and did some diy but this a/c was not getting cold. So I purchased an A/c kit (compressor, drier..etc.) called around and CCC was the only shop to give me a quote and schedule an appointment to install the parts. Other shops are 3-4 weeks scheduled out and no quote until they see the car. Anyway, came in today and Matt took care of it. He actually saved me some $$$ and returned the unused parts. Replaced condenser and flushed, vacuum, filled entire A/C system now front and rear blowing cold. Wife and kids are happy. Honesty and good work Matt presented and I'll be surely coming back for any car repair services. And cost of repair is so reasonable dealer would've charged double. I would've given 5 stars but the parts person took forever. Keep up the good work CCC, thanks again Matt. read more

Be careful of this repair facility. They strung me and my insurance company along on a series of repairs that ended up costing more than the vehicle was worth and did not even do the repairs correctly. When I took the vehicle back because they had overcharged the air conditioning system, damaging the condenser and compressor, they represented they would replace the damaged parts under their warranty. Two days after I got my car back, the air conditioning stopped working and was blowing hotter than before I brought the car back. read more
