Great and honest service. My family and I have been coming here for quite some time over a year. Saffi and everyone there are not only very good at what they do but are transparent on what needs to be done. They are not the type of business that adds on unnecessary expenses/work. All of my sisters and I go and we don't have to worry that they'll overcharge or won't explain the problem of the car. They answer any questions you have which is extremely helpful when you don't know anything about cars, as myself. Even taking you to the back to examine the car itself! Super friendly, but most importantly extremely knowledgeable and honest. read more

Finding a trustworthy mechanic is never easy, but stumbling upon this family-owned shop genuinely felt like discovering a gem among the junk. From the moment I arrived, the level of care and full transparency stood out in a way I haven't experienced anywhere else. These guys are truly the best mechanics in town--and honestly, beyond. Their professionalism shines through in how they take the time to explain exactly what your car needs, why it matters, and how they can fix it. There's no confusion, no pressure, just honest guidance and quality work. They provide services that dealerships would easily charge twice as much for, and with far better workmanship. The difference in quality and integrity is night and day. I hope more people give this shop a chance. As for me, I won't be going anywhere else for car service--ever. read more

We have been bringing our car to this shop in the past for general maintenance things like AC repair, belts, etc. and find the employees to be kind and polite. Unfortunately, our most recent experience here has changed our opinion of the business and its integrity significantly. We had a clunk in our steering wheel. That can be a lot of things, but based on a bunch of internet searches we thought maybe something was wrong with the tie rods. We brought the car in and Safi Tiger, the manager, said that they would diagnose the issue for free (though we admittedly did sign paperwork that said the diagnosis was $150, but he told me it would be free). We received a call from the shop later that day. They said that the entire steering column needed to be replaced. The repair estimate was $1500 to replace the existing steering column with a used one. We went to pick up the car and explained that we would bring it back later in the month when we had more money. Walli said we needed to pay $150 for the diagnosis. We said that Safi Tiger told me it would be free. He went in back and came back out to explain that they spent all day taking the car apart and diagnosing the steering issue. They told our husband that it was dangerous to drive the car. They said they would take the $150 off the cost of the repair after the work was done. They said that they see this all the time in Hyundais. We paid the $150. We took the car home and did a bunch more internet searching because $1500 is a lot of money and quite honestly, our car is 15 years old and probably only worth about $2300. We are not mechanics, but we are pretty good at Google. We found a video on YouTube which recommended replacing a little piece (flex coupling) in the steering column. Failure of that flex coupling in Hyundais and Kias is apparently not uncommon. Anyway, we followed the YouTube instructions and were able to fix the problem at home with YouTube, general tools, and a part we ordered from Amazon that cost SIX DOLLARS AND TWELVE CENTS. It took all day and was not simple for us, but the car steers perfectly now. No symptoms at all. It doesn't need a $1500 repair at all. The diagnosis we paid $150 for was incorrect. So we went back to the shop today and talked to Safi Tiger. We explained how we fixed the car. At his request, we showed him photos of the work we did in our own driveway, sent him one of the YouTube videos showing how to do the repair, let him get in our car to feel the difference in the steering wheel, and showed him the $6.12 OEM piece we repaired the car with. We said that they should know that it wasn't a $1500 repair job, and that We didn't think it was nice to charge $150 for the diagnosis after saying it was free and subsequently giving an incorrect diagnosis. We hoped that an apology or refund for the incorrect diagnosis would be offered, as we really are pretty naive about things sometimes and thought they'd do what we thought was the right thing. Instead, Safi Tiger said a lot of things: about how most people wouldn't be able to figure the problem out, how most people wouldn't be brave enough to try to fix it themselves, how the mechanic had 40 years of experience, how YouTube wasn't always so helpful for car repair, etcetera etcetera. No apology. No refund. As we were leaving, Safi Tiger told me that when we come in for an oil change next time, he'd give me 50% off. In case it isn't obvious, there will not be a next time. Quite disappointed in a shop we thought was a good one. We apologize for the length of our review, but we hope it saves somebody some money. read more

Been coming here for years now, amazing customer service, work, and prices! One of the few mechanics that isn't trying to steal your money.

Honest, knowledgeable mechanics and timely service. This business was recommended to me by a friend. I am very grateful to my friend for this referral. They take the time to explain the necessary work and do not add service you do not need. I highly recommend this business read more

Thank you for you continued service. I've been a customer for a little over 1 year and every time I'm in they always take care of me and my vehicles and at a great price. read more

Was told my daughter needed a new engine. Offered a reasonable price and timeline. We were called 2 days later that it was done! It looked pristine and runs great! Tiger is the guy to ask for! He has never steered us wrong. My daughter has a new engine and great warranty. read more

this man is literally the best mechanic in the Empire! He is an excellent mechanic, his prices are fair and he fixes as I used to drive to REDLANDS to get my car worked on, never again this is our new family (Mechanic). Asked for Tiger. He is a gem.!! best Mechanic I have ever used. I am a client for life! Elizabeth Randall Hébert read more

Straight and Simple: AVOID THIS BUSINESS! I came in for a safety inspection and got a failed result -- fine, I expected that. I fixed all the listed issues and came back for a re-inspection, only to fail again. They claimed problems were still present, even though they had been addressed. For example, there was a nail in the tire -- got that fixed. Now the same tire has marks and needs to be replaced? That's money wasted that could've gone toward a new tire in the first place. I replaced an axle -- now they're saying a different axle needs replacing? This place feels like a scam. They advertise a thorough "2-hour" inspection, yet somehow miss things or conveniently bring up new problems later. Doesn't feel honest. Save your money. Go somewhere else for your Safety Vehicle Inspection or any other auto service. This place will waste your time and money!!!!!!! read more

We've been coming here for years and have been extremely happy with all the work done. They're professional, friendly and explain everything to you before the work is done. Best of all, they are fast & reasonably priced. We've had all sorts of service done on all four of our vehicles. For the ladies, I've always felt comfortable going to this shop alone. read more

Great customer service from safi! Definitely recommend coming here. Came for a break and lamp inspection and he informed me of the new protocols of the whole thing. He was very clear on what to expect and pricing. read more

Definitely recommend this place. I had so many problems on my ford fiesta. Took it in and it only took a day for them to fix them all. When changing out my tires they found out that two of my tires censers were old and not working so they gave me new ones free of charge. Definitely going back if I need any work on my other cars. read more

Wally was very kind and helpful. He explained my cars situation and what next steps should be taken. Prices are fair. I will be back again. Thanks for taking care of me! read more

The engine diagnosis went well for a vw vehicle. Also, they certified safety test and passed on a kia forte 2012. They also are.certified for smog check. They also lecture on what is wrong with vehicle and how the parts effect it. They are affordable . read more

Avoid this business at all costs. At first, seems like a reputable business and a Godly one as well with the plaque they have on the wall but do not trust them. About a month ago, I negotiated with Safi for "elite" category brake pads and "gold" category rotors for a price of $440 and he said the squealing and brake noises would go away. After about 2 hours, the car was finally returned to me. I still heard the squealing noises and figured I would give the bedding in process two weeks for it to go away. That same day I notice a new clunking sound when applying the brakes and became concerned because I have never heard my car make that sound. I continued to drive it to see if it would go away and it was still squealing and making this new clunking sound. Before handing them my car, I've never heard of this clunking sound and now after it was in their hands it started to make it. I went today to let them know and they checked it. Now, Safi is blaming my suspension and that the brakes are not the issue. I told him that I have proof from the dealer that the suspension on my car was already replaced and he still denied responsibility for it. Additionally, on the receipt, there are part numbers that are allegedly associated with the parts installed on my car. I told him that I'm going to hire another mechanic to verify that the part numbers match and he said that they would not because they "use a different system". Again, he avoids accountability for his work and said "he had to go". I'm never coming back to this place again and I request that the better business bureau conducts an investigation on this business. There are too many red flags and I don't want this to happen to another member of my community. read more

Got an oil change in April 2024. Brought in a used car I purchased in December 2023 and was uncertain of when it needed to be changed. In August had some issues with my car and discovered when they changed my oil they overfilled it by a substantial amount and it may be the reason for the issues to my car. read more

Discount Auto Center - Clean engine bay. - Auto Repair Near Me - Riverside, California

Best place to come too left my car in the morning and was finished within hours runs and drives liek brand new.

The check engine light on my car was on and I was unable to pass the smog test. I brought my car to Discount Auto Center and asked them to diagnose the problem. Walli worked on my car and refused to give up until he resolved the problem. He explained everything to me thoroughly and even took pictures to show me of the parts that he replaced. I especially appreciated that they saved me a lot of money in labor costs considering how long it took to diagnose and resolve the Evap issues that were going on. They have won me as a returning customer and I will recommend them to anyone looking for a credible mechanic. read more

This place is trash got scammed bad they also stole my horn fuse which led to other problems that they were trying to charge me for to fix but all I needed was to put my horn fuse back which they took from me these guys will scam you badly do not waste your time here. read more

This is my 1st time here. I pulled in for an oil change. I was greeted with a great smile from the Manager Safi, he was very professional told me how long the wait would be before he got to my car. He was amazing! I also decided to have my AC serviced, I know the freon was low, he explained everything that expected that i needed and gave me pricing for it. He said if something wasn't needed he would adjust the price accordingly. Not at any point did I feel vulnerable or like I was being hustled. I will definitely be back! read more

Recently having moved to the area, I was in need of finding an auto repair shop. After visiting several other locations (with no help) I was referred here by a friend. I was met by Safi. My car unfortunately had been misdiagnosed at several locations and still was not fixed. Upon arrival Safi let me know that they would perform the diagnostic tests needed and let me know what the problem with my vehicle was. They promptly called me and made me aware of what my vehicle was in need of, I okayed the repairs and hung up. When I arrived, my car was in the parking lot, repaired and smog done. After struggling for several weeks with my car and wasting money at other shops, I wish I would've found this shop sooner. I can't thank you enough. I found my place! Thank you Safi, Walli and Moe. read more

Tooba Discount Auto is the best Mr Moe and his staff are honest, I was referred to Discount Auto by Me Larry I'm so glad I had my grand daughter towed there after a dealership repair blew my granddaughter engine out and was being untruthful.

Now we will never take our cars to anyone else but to Discount Auto I'm Riverside. Thank You Mr Moe & Staff you all are the best my oldest daughter is having her car towed in this morning to you all . read more

I was impressed with their quote, was consulted before extra work was performed, and left feeling satisfied with the service that was given.

I went in for a smog check, and they were very friendly and super accommodating. Great price for such a quick service. I didn't catch the names of the owner, and 2 other men that helped us, but they were very kind and honest about what my car needed. Would go back here again! read more

Quick, friendly, honest and professional service. A great place to take your vehicle to get any service done. Ive been going there for awhile now and Ive never had a problem. Always friendly and happy to have you as a customer. Definitely recommend this place for all you auto service needs. Quick smogs at a great price too. read more

This place is decent. Had a diagnostic done they came back told me what was wrong with my sensor and also that I needed new rear breaks. Decided to take their recommendation for the brakes and they didn't apply the diagnostic to the break service they recommended so basically I had to pay the diagnosis cost on top of the break job. They did a decent job on the breaks which is pretty hard to screw up in the first place. They couldn't help me with my other problem and I had to take my car elsewhere. All in all I didn't like how they did me on the diagnostic they should have applied that cost to the break service that THEY recommended after diagnosing my vehicles issues. I will not be going back. read more

The manager Safi was amazing. He showed me the last place I went to do my oil change, they used the wrong filter which could cause damage to the engine. He went out of his way to show me and share the information. I call that great customer service. This will be my go to place moving forward. Just ask for Safi!! read more

Great service, 20+ year costumer, Mo has the best mechanics in Riverside. You will be extremely happy with his service. 5 star organization.
