    New radiator ready to put some more miles on this old Xterra
    Alex K.

    Was on the 405 South and had emergency radiator problems. Overheating and far from home on my last day tax filing Appt in a Costa Mesa. Found Choice and was taken care of by end of day. Very satisfied.

    Right axle with all the bolts.

    This shop is garbage!!!! Went in to get the axles done and a little bit more, and look at the work done to it. With my family and I driving the car, we almost got into an accident twice and could've been injured or died in that car. I do not recommend this place of business and the owner didn't even want to refund our money after we paid him $1000!! A rip off!

    Absolutely great and amazing service, got the job done did not take long at all and very friendly they are. Thank you C.J I truly appreciate you.

    Best Auto Shop Ever!!!!

    Gosh. Lol. So my windows and radio went out today, and of course I had to drive straight to CJ to have it checked out. Even though I know he doesn't work on those things, I know he always knows everything wrong with cars. I call there and I know Friday's are his busiest days, but I wanted to get it checked out before the weekend (especially cause my windows were down). And even though he's so busy, he always makes time for us when we come, probably cause he knows that I call or come to him for every little thing. Lol. He fixes the problem in less than 10mins, and like magic my windows and radio starts to work! He's been and always will be the BEST hands down!!

    See all

    Great place to take your vehicle for minor or major repairs. CJ is a cool guy who gives it to you straight, no bs.

    Used Yelp's business finder to get a few quotes for my two non-working low beam headlights, and…read morethis shop stood out right away. They responded quickly, were courteous, and didn't try to tack on a diagnostic fee just to take a look. When I dropped off the car, the technician walked me through their process, starting with the bulbs before moving into any potential electrical issues (which I really appreciated.) It ended up being the simplest fix: both bulbs were burned out. They had everything replaced within a few hours. Fair pricing, clear communication, and no upselling. I'll definitely be back for future repairs. Side note- they have the cutest shop kitten. ‍

    I had been here once before and had a great experience, so when my car's AT light went on…read moreunexpectedly one night I called them first thing the next morning to see if they could get it in. They said they could and gave me a timeline for working on the vehicle that matched my needs. While I appreciate them getting me in on short notice, they consistently over-promised and under-delivered on when they would be able to work on my vehicle. They were able to diagnose a couple of leaks that they thought were the problem and sent me photos to show me what they were looking at. In the past when I've left my car at this shop for work they sent over a detailed estimate before starting the work, but this time I only received the verbal estimate over the phone. I drive an old car, which isn't worth much, and I did let the person know that I wasn't interested in investing more in repairs than the vehicle is worth. As it was, the two leaks were just over $1K to fix, and I OK'd the work to begin. After fixing the first two leaks, they then came back and told me there was a third leak, which would require a more major repair to the transmission and they would have to have their transmission person (who wasn't there that weekend) send me an estimate the next day. While I understand that it's plausible that the third leak wasn't something they could have originally diagnosed, it felt a bit weird that the photo they used to show me the leak was one of the original photos they had sent before starting any work. If the leak was visible in that photo, I'm unclear why they couldn't have diagnosed it earlier. The added cost of this additional repair definitely tips the scales of worth-it/not-worth-it to repair vs replace this car, so I wish I had had all the information before deciding to make the initial repairs. Unfortunately, despite stabilizing the ATF level, fixing the leaks did not resolve the transmission issue. On a smaller scale, they didn't check or top up the tire pressure, which most mechanics I've gone to have done as a courtesy when working on my vehicle. The day after I picked up my car the tire pressure light went on, and when I checked my tires all four of them had low pressure. It's a small thing, but especially when dealing with expensive mechanical items like cars, the small things matter a lot in creating a sense of security and trust with your mechanic. They did mention that they were under new management since the last time I had been in, which may account for the different experiences.
