I have been using Ruben's shop for 4 years now. We take all the vehicles in our family to him for service and repair. He does quality work with quality parts. He's cheaper than a dealership because he has less overhead, and his hourly labor rate is way less than any dealership. I have referred several people to him, and they are all of the same opinion, they would return to him. read more

Ruben is a good honest mechanic who knows what he's doing. Wish I didn't have to take my jeep to him, but when you buy from a "friend" that tells you there are no issues with it and that turns out to be wrong, Ruben will take care of you. read more

Corona Autowerks is AMAZING!! I have a 2012 Jeep JK. It's my daily driver but also my weekend off-roading trail toy. I've had my fair share of issues with my Jeep and needless to say, dealing with the dealership for warranty things absolutely sucks! I remembered working with Ruben awhile back for something simple and thought I'd call him seeking a second opinion because my Jeep wasn't starting again! This was after two trips to the dealer for them to explain I had a faulty battery twice, replaced them with 2 brand new batteries, and now after 3 days we are dead again!! I knew I needed a second opinion. I called Ruben and he said 'That sounds like your alternator needs replaced but can you bring it by today so I can take a look?' So I told him I'd stop by on my lunch break since I was just down the street. Showed up and he had me park in the shop area where he had other cars parked. I felt bad because he was already working on another car but he insisted he take a looked to let me know what my next steps were. I'm not a mechanic or anything but when you leave the dealership and they forget to reconnect your alternator, this would definitely be the reason your Jeep doesn't start. ‍ Ruben could have replaced my alternator and charged me a pretty penny for it but didn't. He showed me where the dealership messed up and told me to go back, demand that I speak with the last technician that worked on my Jeep and follow the same steps he showed me. So I did and when the technician showed up I popped the hood, removed the engine cover and showed him the unplugged alternator! After some back and forth, they agreed to replace my alternator and provide a new battery. Without Ruben, I'd probably be on the side of the road stranded with another dead battery. I know my Jeep needs a little extra love cuz I run over everything and anything in my path so I'll be back with my next paycheck!! Thank you SO much Ruben! You've made a lifetime customer outta me and I'll be sure to tell the world about you!!! read more

Thanks again Ruben for a job well done. I am truly blown away by your work ethic . I know that it can be difficult to stay on top of running a shop. I am so thankful you are there . read more

Ruben is a great Mechanic, he is one of the few I trust to work on my truck and his attention to detail is like no else. read more

Corona Autowerks - Ruben adding some deavers to my Gen 2 Raptor - Auto Repair Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I came here because I am co-workers with Ruben's son who also assists and works at Corona Autowerks. This family owned business is clean and honest. Ruben was very friendly and took the time to fix my car. I took my car in to be fixed for one thing and I'm glad they found other (small) issues so that my car wasn't in such terrible shape anymore. I have never been to a mechanic on my own but I am glad I came here. This a place you can trust with your car and they will do it with precision! They truly care about their customers and will go above and beyond any normal mechanic job. Thank you Kevin and Ruben for all your hard work! If I ever know anyone who needs a mechanic I will send them your way! read more

I purchased a bunch of parts through Camburg, they suggested Corona Autowerks would be able to install it quicker to them because of their backlog. Corona was quick and the quality of work has been phenomenal. It has been about 15 months since they installed everything. I have driven almost 30K with a lot of those miles on dirt and snow. I have not had a single issue. I will go back to Corona when I purchase new parts. read more

See all

I brought my truck to Ruben because I trust his work. While my truck was in for service he checks over the vehicle and makes you aware of anything that could potentially be a bigger problem later. For me he was able to let me know my battery and all front ball joints were bad. Saves me being stuck with a dead battery in a few months or wearing my tires out driving with bad ball joints. This attention to detail is why i will continue to bring my vehicles here for work and refer to friends and family. Side note this is probably the cleanest mechanic shop i have seen. read more

The starter to my car suddenly blew and nothing would happen when I turned the key in the ignition. Of course I panicked because, as a girl, I knew I would be at the mercy of mechanics who might take advantage of me because of my lack of auto knowledge. One of my guy friends who knows about cars advised me that for the absolute cheapest option, I should buy the starter part from Autozone for $145, then look for a mechanic who would do only the labor, because changing a starter was a job that was fairly simple for an auto mechanic. He said it really shouldn't cost more than a hundred dollars for the labor. Of course, when I called around, I got quotes that ranged from $140 and up, and some mechanics wouldn't even sell me the labor only; I would have to buy the part from them which would of course hike up my total to be over $500 dollars!!! Are you crazy?!!! I was getting ready to have to live on Cup o' Noodles for the next month. (kidding, not kidding lol) I was about ready to give up and settle for the cheapest quote so far, when by sheer luck I found my last call to be Corona Autowerks, and I ended up speaking with Ruben. He quoted me $90 for the labor only and he would let me bring my own part. OMG it was un-beatable!!! Needless to say, I rushed on over with my car on the tow truck, and bonus points, Ruben was the nicest ever. He greeted me with a smile and was super friendly. I never felt all vulnerable like I sometimes do with other mechanics who love to tell me all the things wrong with my car that "might probably blow up on the freeway" if I don't fix it right away. He finished the job in less than 2 hours and never tried to pressure me to spend more on fixing something else with my car. It was the best experience I've ever had with a car problem. I have found my Go-To auto mechanic!!! Thanks Ruben, you are the best!!! read more

I took my car here after a friend referred me, and wow couldn't have been better! I have a super old car, like 400k miles car. I was so nervous cause usually when I take my car somewhere its one problem after another. NOT HERE! When I called I let him know that I thought it was my starter. He quoted me a price, which was totally reasonable! Once I had my car towed in, he had it done quickly, and my car is running great! I could not have been happier with the service!!! read more

First time customer at Corona Autowerks, I was refered to them by greg over at camburg. Ruben and his son Kevin were extremely friendly, professional, helpful, and did great work. I had Camburg UCA's, Fox 2.5 Coilers, Deaver Springs Leaf Pack, and Fox 2.0 shocks installed. They did the work super fast and communicated very well when any issues were encountered before proceeding with the work. I am extremely satisfied and will totally be going back for any maintanence or additional work i need done to my truck. good job guys keep up the good work! read more

I went to Corona Autowerks on a referral from another mechanic, and Rueben and his son did a great job. They replaced the timing belt, pulleys, etc. on my Subaru quickly with no need for re-work. Nice job, guy! read more

Great friendly service. Fair price and got my car running better than ever. I took my car in because of a wheel issue and they were able to diagnose the issue right away. Within a few hours my car was ready for pick up. I recommend checking this shop out when you have car problems and you'll get excellent quality work. read more

I've been to different Mechanic shops before and I've always been ripped off. I feel that because I'm a woman, these shops tend to take advantage of me. So I came here and Mr. Corona was able to give me world class service. He showed me how previous work done on my car was done incorrectly and corrected it. Things like this mean a lot to me because the incompetence of prior mechanics puts my son's and my safety in jeopardy. If you're looking for honest people that will go above and beyond, I highly recommend coming here. Thank you Mr. Corona! read more

Amazing work and affordable price! Took my truck to a body shop and made a big deal on a small dent with a outrageous prize. Took it to Ruben, with no problem and hesitation Ruben got to work. Great customer service, there is no big or small project Ruben can't fix. Truly amazing! Can't wait for my lifted kit that he is going to do. read more

So I had a problem with my power steering on my Honda Accord. Showed up early in the morning and within an hour my car was good to go. Very clean, very efficient, very professional. The pricing was also on point. Highly recommend this place for your vehicle needs read more

I was accepted without an appointment and out the door within one hour. Earlier in the day another auto mechanic told me to not worry about the noise coming from back of my car. However, that mechanic found a different issue that would cost me $579, just his estimate. Took my car to Corona, my car was diagnosed, part ordered, and fixed with no more strange noises, only for $149. read more

Great place with honest mechanics! Highly recommend this place. Thanks Kevin and Mr.Corona!

Extraordinary service!!! I got my car towed as an emergency here on a saturday because of an alternator problem... it was 4:30PM and they were about to close. I live in Los Angeles and if i didn't get it fixed it would of ment not getting it fixed till monday, losing money by not going to work and spending a lot in a cab to get home. Corona Autowerks were really professional, the price was fair and they were working on my car till like about 7pm. I mean... what other shop would do this? Corona Autowerks are life savers!!!!!!!! Thank you so much. read more

This is a bit delayed but I went in on July 3, 2016 with a belt issue. I called ahead and checked if I could get a quote and they did. The quote seemed reasonable from what I saw and so I went in and explained the issue to Ruben. He stopped and listened to what I had to say which a lot of mechanics don't do. He went to my car and went straight to what I thought it was. Turns out isn't wasn't just the belt but also the hydraulic holding it in place which he showed me exactly where the issue was. He could tell I was in a hurry and got me out within 50 mins, including getting the part I needed. He even helped me out with the pricing. Overall, amazing old school customer service. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Ruben is the most trustworthy mechanic/ technician. He is extremely knowledgeable and will never try to rip you off. He is quick, efficient, and friendly! His shop is clean and tidy and I can't imagine ever going to another place. read more

I love Mr. Corona's honesty. Brought my car in for a check up he took his time and told me everything that was wrong w it but never pressured me to fix it or pressured me to fix everything all at once. Mr Corona is about 20 minutes from my house but I don't mind the drive because I know he will do a great job on my car. He's shop is very clean. I as a girl appreciate not seeing naked girl posters all over the place. I will not take my car to anyone else. Highly recommend read more

I came in Friday morning without an appointment and was greeted immediately by Ruben. I told him what was going on with my car (brakes starting to make a clunking sound) and he told me he would be happy to look at it. He took it for a test drive and told me he didn't hear any noises, but would still take a look to be sure. Turns out I needed new rear brake pads and that he would be able to fix it no problem. He also did an inspection of the front brakes and let me know that they were starting to wear, but didn't need to be replaced just yet. I appreciate that he let me know about future work that may need to be done, but wasn't pushy about it and let me know what could be put off for a bit. You can tell Corona Autowerks is a shop that truly cares about their customers and wants to make sure they provide the best. Both Ruben and Kevin are incredibly friendly, kind and willing to go the extra mile for their customers. I've found my new place any time I need to bring my car in for work!! Thanks again!!!! read more

Hands down one of the most professional and clean auto shops I've even been to honest reliable services I would recommend Ruben to any one of my family or friends the only thing that comes close to the quality of work is the quality parts that are used awesome shop all the way around read more

Excellent and accurate job done with my Nissan 2004 I will recommend him for good and honest prices

Ruben, my man! There are a ton of mechanics out there to choose from, but very few, that I've found, are as honest and reliable as Ruben and Corona Autowerks. Ruben is thorough and offers expert service. He does whatever it takes to make sure your car leaves in perfect operating condition without price gouging or suggesting things that you don't need, as many in his industry do. He is honest with his assessments and makes sure that you know exactly what is wrong with your car and offers true recommendations and order of priorities if you can't afford to get things done all at the same time. Ruben is a true professional in a realm of less than scrupulous mechanics. If you are looking for a professional honest mechanic, (and who isn't), Ruben and Corona Autowerks is the place to go! Thank you Ruben, I will continue to recommend you to my friends and family! read more

All I have to say is Amazing! Quality work, and I feel good about driving my car home! Some mechanics take shortcuts and that in turn will cause long term damage! Ruben was able to fix my previous mechanic's mistakes and for that I am grateful! Quality and honest work all in a timely matter! Thank you so much! read more

Great service Ruben is the only person I would take my car to. The shop is very clean his work is very detailed no step is skipped when I take my car to Ruben I know my car will be taken care of and I don't have to worry about anything. read more

I took my car in to Ruben and within minutes he was able to tell me exactly what it was. He was looking out to see what was best for me instead of charging me an arm and a leg. I will continue to take my car to him and recommend everyone to him. read more

BEST MECHANIC IN OC!!! This place is amazing and Ruben will really take care of you. Finally an honest mechanic that you can trust. I brought my car here about a month ago to get an oil change and brakes done. Ruben is very thorough looking over various parts of your car, he will mention what needs attention but is not pushy like other places. He is a person who cares and actually someone you can trust (which is hard to find in this industry). I would trust my mother coming in here by herself, with no automotive knowledge, and feel certain that Ruben will take great care of her! AWESOME PLACE! read more

If you are looking for an honest and fair price automechanic shop who will gladly do the extra things on your car to make you happy than Ruben at Corona Autowerk is your mechanic. He had my 97 Lexus ES300 with 140,000 miles in top notch "Lexus' running condition at a price that is comparable to most Asian mechanics in Westminster, but the difference is that he will not nickle and dime you. And if you are a student on a time budget I would suggest you schedule an appointment for an 8:00AM Saturday morning drop off, and then walk across the street to HB Central Library to do your studying while you wait for the car to be service. read more

This shop has the best service was recommended by a friend called and ask for my car to be seen the day b4 they said to bring it any time which I did needed to fix motor mounts and had it ready b4 noon also asked to do a oil change on my other car the next day and finished less the 30 mins once again awesome service great prices honest Mechanic... will come back even if I have to drive far. read more

Ruben is a great guy and above all, honest. That's what we all look for in a auto mechanic, someone that won't rip us off and let us back on the road with faulty parts. Corona Autowerks is the real deal! Ruben makes sure all the parts he uses are top quality and never lets you leave without making sure your vehicle is in best possible condition. read more

Ruben was extremely helpful me fix my directional light. He was able to take to take me in within minutes and fix my problem in less than 5 minutes. Amazing work and honest people. Thank you so much for your help! read more

Reliable and very knowledgeable staff. Have been going to Ruben for years. I will definitely be back when I need to.

Ruben is by far the best mechanic in the business. He ensures good quality work while also reaching an outstanding level of customer satisfaction. I used to take my Z to other shops that were charging exorbitant amounts of money since my car is older. Ruben's prices are reasonable and they ultimately depend on what the car needs. He is the only person I trust with my Z and I always recommend him to all my friends and anybody who has car troubles. Definitely recommend this place. read more

This might not be the cheapest place to fix a car but Ruben is a professional, does good work and it's a nice person to deal with.

Ruben was swamped, but he helped me with my Subaru - I didn't need anything major, but something I couldn't fix and he fit me quickly - 5 minutes. Wonderful service and willingness to help you out. read more

Ruben is awesome. He quoted me a price to replace a radiator and estimated the job at three hours. He had it done in half the time, called me and told me it was ready with a discount! What else could you want?! Awesome. Very clean shop. Professional operation, and as honest as you can get. I give CORONA AUTOWERKS 10 STARS! read more

Ruben has to be one of the most through and well versed mechanics around. Did a perfect install on my Camburg Uniball a-arms and Bilstein 2.5" coilovers. Had some serious issues with an Allen tire co regarding the alignment. Brought it to Ruben and in 5 minutes he showed me they never retourqed the lower a-arm mounting bolts. Any aftermarket parts you want installed bring it to Ruben. I know i will. read more
