    Same day instant response when requesting an estimate! Very reasonable price compared to the other shops.
    Mr P.

    Same day response time when requesting an estimate. Initial message I sent out was very detailed, and I just wanted an estimate for labor. Vs. the other Yelp Auto shops, were quoting higher or I received an auto response to call... Not good for us introverts, lol Cesar, arrived on time as he said he would, "between 1-2p" Drove down same day conveniently at my home, so I could focus on other things. Price, was reasonable, too. (See screenshot) Bonus: I liked how he checked other parts of the vehicle such as my tire pressure, and added air to them! He also recommended one other issue for the future (it is a 2005 Honda) yet, no up selling or scary stories. Just said, it's something I may need to repair in the future. Honestly, I didn't expect this level of service and response time! :) Cesar, is definitely a hidden gem and the future for Auto Mechanic repairs. Have them come to you vs. driving and waiting at a body shop bored and wasting ones time. Hope your issue gets fixed soon, so you too can focus on more important things in life! Cheers!

    old oil cooler he replaced and also where my oil was leaking from
    Darren P.

    I sent Cesar a message through Yelp and he responded quickly. He asked for my make and model of my car and told him what I need to get fixed on my car, which was getting my oil cooler swapped out for a new oil cooler as it was leaking oil. He does everything by the book and prices are very good. This part was in a very tight spot on the car and he was able to do it with ease. He was on time and was very informative. I highly recommend Cesar and if I ever need something to be fixed on my car, Cesar will be my go to mechanic and also he is mobile which is a huge plus.

    Over charged for work and now the truck doesn't start. Not sure what he supposedly did, but not worth hiring this guy.

    I can't express how grateful I am for Performance Auto Repair in Costa Mesa. Even though I live all…read morethe way in Chino, something about their reviews made me feel like I could trust them -- and I was right. When my SUV overheated and the engine failed, I was overwhelmed. But the moment I spoke with them, it felt like a weight lifted. They understood exactly what was happening before they even saw the car. Instead of pushing a costly $6,000 engine replacement, Byron found a way to rebuild the engine through a machine shop, saving me thousands. That kind of honesty is rare. The repairs took time, but they never rushed. They kept us updated, checked every detail, and refused to release the vehicle until they were absolutely sure there were no leaks, no issues, no surprises. After dealing with another shop that returned our Honda Pilot with oil leaks, this level of care meant everything. What stood out most was their integrity. Their kindness. Their commitment to doing the right thing even when it takes longer or costs them more effort. If we lived closer to Costa Mesa, we'd bring every one of our vehicles here without hesitation. There truly aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am for Byron and his team. They didn't just fix my SUV -- they restored my trust in what an honest auto shop can be.

Gary, the manager, personally added oil and had a lovely young man who was, of course, sweating, added air to my tires. This is the great service this location of Expertec provides. Normally, it's preferable to make an appointment and Mike will drive you home or to the office AND pick you up when your car is ready. I have never had such good service anywhere! Of course, I highly recommend Expertec Costa Mesa!

I was going somewhere else prior and they would keep my car the entire day for a basic oil change. The first time I came after having my car serviced elsewhere and heard an odd sound when I got it back. I asked ExperTec if they could get my car back to me by the end of the day and they weren't sure, however I did get my car back within a few hours. I think they're priced fairly compared to other places in the area. I like that they're open on weekends too. I'm not a mechanic by any means but I'm also super wary of being taken advantage of which happens almost every where I go. I will say they did tell me my car passed their inspection then tried to recommend a bunch of services I'd had done recently. They didn't push me to get them or try to scare me into thinking my car was going to explode if I didn't do the recommended services lol. I've recommended this place to a couple people and they've been happy too so I think they're pretty good overall.

Because of that, I came back for multiple oil changes. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was completely different. I was charged a high price for what should have been a simple oil change and cabin/air filter replacement, and I ended up waiting about two hours for the work to be completed. After talking it through with someone more familiar with car maintenance, it became clear that I was likely overcharged for a job that should have been quicker and more reasonably priced. What made the experience worse was the interaction before my appointment. When I asked for clarification about being told I may need "air," EU laughed at me for asking. I'm neurodivergent and sometimes take things more literally, so I was just trying to confirm whether I was being charged for something that is often free. Instead of explaining, I felt mocked for asking a simple question. Because of this experience, I no longer feel comfortable or confident returning here. I'm sharing this as a caution for other customers--especially women and neurodivergent people--who may not be as familiar with car maintenance and rely on mechanics to be honest, respectful, and transparent.
