Went in for a smog check. Passed no issues. A few things recommended but wasnt the point of taking it in. Next day driving passenger noticed water coming into the floor of the passenger side. As the day progressed more was visible. Took it to BMW. Paid for diagnostic. They found that they AC evaporative drain was plugged with a tire lug nut. They stated is was malicious, as this doesnt happen by itself. Indicated if in shop within a day or so likely the cause. Only shop it was in over the last 4 months was Cesar's.. read more

Prompt, helpful, friendly, and good prices. I really appreciate what they were able to do for me to get my car back on the road.

I called and asked Cesar if he could do a smog check on my Toyota 4Runner. He said be there in 30 minutes. I showed up on time and he was done with the smog check in 8 minutes. Excellent timely service. He was nice and recommended other maintenance and even a window repair guy for the crack I have. The smog check was $10 cheaper than the other popular smog stations in town and way better customer service. read more

Ceasar's Auto was refured to us by a friend at work. They took my car right in. They anilized it and quickly gave us an estament, apparently there were a number of things that needed fixed. We gave them the go-a- head to fix it all. The macanics got right on it and in couple of days I went to pick my car up and I can honestly say "it drove like a brand new car! I was totally impressed. Thank You Ceasar's Auto. read more

If you're looking for a straight up, no monkey business auto repair, I recommend Cesar's Auto Repair. read more

We needed my aunt's older station wagon that a leak fixed. Cesar's was able to get us in quickly. They called with an estimate for the repairs, as requested. We were able to pick up the vehicle later that day. The reason for a 4 star review, rather than a 5 star concerned the price at pick-up. When they called with the estimate, they gave me a price of $335. When we went to pick it up, they said it would be $370. When I questioned why the difference, the man looked at the invoice again & said, 'that'll be $354'. I'm not sure what happened to change the price from $370 to $354?? But otherwise, we were happy with the service. read more

I took my car to Cesar's about a month ago, and so far, so good with my car. I was having issues with my car shaking when braking downhill or when braking at high speeds. I knew it had something to do with my rotors and brakes. I was disappointed by the first place I had taken my car in (which was a well reputable place). It was only a year when I had my brakes and rotors replaced and was already experiencing the same issues that I brought my car in to get fixed, and they were more than double the amount I paid for Cesar's. Since taking my car to Cesar's, I am glad I did as a second consult, and ultimately getting it repaired by them. My car has been running smoothly, and the cost was a waaaay less than what I paid at the other place, and they gave my car an oil change too! My husband was the one to take my car in, but from the sounds of it, they were quick and efficient, because they were able to accommodate him that same morning when he called. I will definitely be coming here now for any of my car repairs from now. Affordable, and they do a great work. read more

Wouldn't let me make an appointment just to hammer out four rivets on my truck. Would've taken 5-10 minutes or less with the right tools and I happily would've paid more than enough. read more

On the 101 fwy taking my son back to college at Santa Clara University. Traveling in my old 1994 Toyota 4Runner. My son was going to use the car in his last year of college. A few miles out of Santa Maria the "A/T Oil Temp" light came on. I was thinking that since the car is packed with a lot of stuff and probably needed a break! Stopped at a Mobile station and started calling around for AAA approved repair shops. Called one called "Jackals'" and they were too busy. They referred me to the mechanic across the street "Cesar's Auto Repair!" I called Cesar's and told him my problem. He said he was also busy, but he told me that he could see me in an hour. I told him that I was letting the car cool down and I would bring it by. After a while, I started the car back up and the light was not illuminated, but I still wanted Cesar to take a look at it before I continued on my way. I arrived and a nice young man greeted me! I told him that I had spoken with Cesar earlier and told him the problem I was having. He went to speak with Cesar. When he came back and told me he was going to put the car in the garage. After ten minutes, Cesar came back out and told me that the transmission fluid was good and so was everything else. He said since the car was older did I know if the radiator had ever been replaced. I told him that I was the original owner and I've never had a problem with the radiator. He took another 20 to 30 minutes and told me that everything looked okay. I explained that I had the car checked out by my mechanic in So Cal and everything was fine. I paid for his time. The car was ready to go and we made it to Santa Clara without any more problems. Cesar could have taken advantage of a desperate traveler, but NO, he was HONEST and put me at ease! If I was ever having car problems near Santa Maria again, I would definitely go back to see Cesar! Thank you, Cesar! read more

Fastest smog check ever! Easy service. This was my first time here and I'll be back to see about other services.

If you're looking for an alternative to the expensive big name auto dealer mechanics this is not the place for you.

Ceasar is very professional, punctual and knowledgeable. He is honest and explains the work required. I appreciate his service so much. It's the second time he has helped me, and he has saved me both times. He works so fast, he is truly an expert at what he does and my car has been running great since his repair. Thank you Ceasar so much I appreciate you!!! read more

Needed a vehicle inspection on a used car and took it to Cesar's. Fast, friendly and good value!

Cesar has always made me feel very comfortable with his diagnosis and has always steered me in the best direction with his knowledge & honesty! I have brought him my malibu, my sons fusion, and now my Toyota Prius. He has also given me information to make informative decisions on whether or not I'd want to spend tons of money on a specific repair by looking at the life of my vehicle. Most other technicians would just fix issues to make the money. I definitely respect that! Also so gracious & kind! read more

I wasn't able to use Cesar's Auto Repair this time but will be visiting in the future. Very nice!

My vehicle was fixed within 2 days, been running perfectly for the past 3 weeks. Only thing I'd say is they left my battery terminal without the lug that hold it in place. Other than that did a good job. read more
