I found Mando randomly but I am SO THANKFUL I DID!…read more I had issues with my subie overlander and he was able to take me in quick and had a decent turn around time. He's lifted my Subaru OB, added Springs to my rear and typical maintenance stuff. He's also taken care of my Promaster that's also my home on wheels. Will definitely ONLY be using him moving forward. He's honest, reassemble prices and quick. Thanks Mando!

On November 19, 2024, I entrusted my vehicle to Mando's Automotive for extensive engine repairs…read more The shop owner provided a repair estimate of $6,000, for which I paid a $3,000 deposit, with the understanding that the work would be completed within 3 weeks. The agreed-upon repairs included replacing piston rings, connecting rod bearings, resurfacing fuel injectors, and addressing issues with cylinder 3's heads and valves. December 2024: The shop requested additional money to complete the repair, claiming the need to order more parts from Audi. January 28, 2025: The owner confirmed receiving the necessary parts,  February 7th he stated he had an emergency and had to leave the country. February 21 2025: we visit the shop and I discovered my engine disassembled, with parts ordered from China rather than the promised Audi components. After expressing concern, I reluctantly agreed to have the engine reassembled, understanding I might lose the $3,000 deposit but fearing further losses. The owner promised the vehicle would be ready by March 3, 2025, along with the original contract and replaced parts. March 3rd 2025: scott from the BAR visit the shop to obtain the contract and it was closed.  Mando told him he was ill March 4, 2025: After following up, I was informed of a new issue with the rear tensioner, requiring another part. Mando claimed to have the part and promised to finish the repair.  He also confirmed he was not going to try and take any more money since he didn't complete the repairs. March 10, 2025: The shop was closed and is reportedly staying closed for the week, leaving my vehicle in pieces. I have since contacted local law enforcement, who indicated this may constitute embezzlement, and the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) has already issued a citation against the shop. In the meantime: My vehicle remains undrivable and disassembled for 4 months. I had to purchase another car, spending $5,000 on alternate transportation. I am left without my $3,000 deposit, with no resolution in sight. My 2014  Audi Q7 with 109k miles current market value is approximately $10,000 I have no vehicle to this day and no one will help me.

I used big rob to have some work done on my truck. I was really hesitant and put off having the…read morerepairs done for a few years because finding good help up here in the high desert is pretty tough. People (even businesses) I find are shady. I still took a shot at big rob and he DIDNT disappoint!! He replaced my steering gear box and hydroboost on my Silverado for a competitive price in the high desert. He had a great turn around on the project and communicated greatly. It's been a few months since he's completed the work and I have had to request some warranty work BUT rob was welcoming and quick to address the issues. The issues were related to the parts and not his work. Even when he was busy he still got it "in and out" same day or next day. I'd highly recommend rob for any mechanical work as he is honest, caring and professional. Thanks again rob!

I had between $10-$15k of work done at this shop. Everything they touched that can leak oil is and…read morethey never responded when I got the diagnosis for the 6 known leaks. Both turbos on my f150 are leaking oil after they replaced them. The oil pan and plug are both leaking after they replaced them. The valve cover is STILL leaking after I asked them to replace it. There is another leak unrelated to them, at least I think it is unrelated, on the timing cover. I told them I suspected leaks and they made up excuses like oil spilled in the bay. When the leaks were discovered they never responded and haven't since. There were smaller issues like repairs taking weeks that should have been days. Not doing work they charged me for like a smog check.

Came in for a tire change and was informed I should look into getting the others changed when I have a chance and when I told the guy I would have to hold off for a little bit due to finances he wasn't pushy or judgmental at all, in fact he was incredibly understanding and friendly about the matter. He made me and my boyfriend feel very comfortable about coming back in whenever we're ready and let me know what problems should be handled next so I know what to prioritize for my next visit. He was even kind enough to inform me upfront that he would have to put in an order my back tires as they're a bit different but let me know whenever I'm ready to go through with it to give them a call and he'd make sure they got ordered before my next appt so they're there when I go in next. Highly recommend this spot. A lot of the stuff I'm dealing with with my car is first time stuff for me, and while they know I'll usually call my dad up to confirm certain things, they never try to be snakey with me. Great service. Clean waiting area. High quality work at a damn good price. I've had a lot of people try to hose me down just cause I have a mercedes (that's almost 20 mind you) but not these guys. I can tell they don't look at me and see dollar signs like some other places I've taken my girl to. They just see that I have problems that need to be taken care of and do great work at helping me get them solved.

I'm really disappointed with the service I received at Firestone in Hesperia. I brought my car in…read morebecause it was shaking heavily when braking over 70 mph. They told me I needed new brakes and rotors, and since I was about to move to Arizona, I agreed and spent nearly $2,000 to make sure my car was safe for the drive. Unfortunately, the issue wasn't fixed at all. Once I got to my new city, I took my car to another Firestone, and they found that the rotors installed were slightly warped and two of the brake pads had actually been installed backwards. I'm grateful that Firestone in Oro Valley is correcting the issue, but this could have turned out much worse if I hadn't caught it. I would not recommend going to the Hesperia location if you value your safety and your money!

They're Friendly, Experienced, Affordable, Professional, Knowledgeable & No scare tactics. They're just upfront, honest & All n' all Great Guys. You'll receive a detailed explanation (for your record-keeping) on any services performed on your vehicle. Plus anything they discovered (along the way), with any future recommendations. I recommend you opt in for monthly updates! For example: the time remaining before your next oil change, 'Earmark' mileage alerts, that are recommended and upcoming for your vehicle etc.., Not to mention, you'll receive a Lifelong CARFAX Membership, for as long as you own your vehicle. I found the CARFAX info, to be of incredible value to me. Especially since I bought my car used! I never realized, just how much information (RE: my car's service history) could be found, on Carfax. All This, Just For Being Their Customer!!

They stood and stared at my Truck for a hour and tried to guess at the issue and then quoted me $1200 to replace my cooling fan. I left feeling like these guys were clueless. I took my truck to Freedom Auto repair with Jermey. Literally, 5 minutes later he told me what the issue was. It had nothing to do with the fan at all. Gave me a detailed breakdown down of the issue. Truck AC is good for a fraction of the cost these fools wanted to charge me. BTW, I mentioned to Brian at AA that his good rating was impressive. His response.... Yeah we pay a lot of money for those reviews.
