My mom and sister have been bringing their vehicles to Bolsa Auto Repair & Muffler for years, but…read moreI'd never been here because I drive an Audi and usually take it to a specialist. After my first visit, I completely understand why they've trusted this shop for so long. We brought in my brother's van because the passenger window wouldn't roll back up. They quickly diagnosed it as a bad window regulator and quoted just $200 to replace it, which was $175 less than another local shop had quoted for the exact same repair. Out of curiosity, I also asked what they would have charged for the front brakes and rotors I had replaced on the same van last year. Their quote was about $200-$300 less than what I had previously paid elsewhere. What impressed me most wasn't just the pricing, but how straightforward and honest they were. They explained everything clearly, never tried to upsell anything, and made me feel confident I was getting a fair price. If you're looking for a mechanic with fair pricing and people you can trust, I highly recommend Bolsa Auto Repair & Muffler. They've earned a new long-term customer.

I want to commend this business for excellent customer service. They checked out my car, which I…read morethought I had ruined by trying a DIY repair. As it turns out I, apparently, didn't do as bad as I had thought and didn't ruin the car. They saved me a lot of money not having to look for a replacement car. I'm very grateful. Thank you.

I had a wonderful experience at CAL Auto Service, thanks to Bryan…read more I needed the crossbars for my roof rack installed before my upcoming move. Since it was right before the Fourth of July holiday, I knew they were extremely busy and already had a full schedule. When I explained that I was moving next week and was on a tight timeline, Bryan went out of his way to fit me into his schedule, even though he was very busy. He installed my crossbars professionally and charged me a very fair price. I truly appreciated his kindness, flexibility, and excellent customer service. The waiting area was also clean and comfortable, with complimentary coffee and snacks, which made the experience even better. If I had known about CAL Auto Service sooner, I would have come here for my vehicle repairs as well. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for honest, friendly, and reliable service. Thank you, Bryan!

A Japanese car, truck, van -- needs to be treated with TLC. Most Japanese cars, if you treat them…read moreright with regular maintenance, will give you a long and beautiful life. But the ones serviced at Cal Auto Service don't just live the longest -- they're the happiest. People wonder, "How does your Toyota/Lexus/Subaru/Honda/Acura last so long?" Simple: it was serviced and taken care of by Peter, Brian, and the rest of the team at Cal Auto. This spotless, comfortable shop in Santa Ana, Orange County redefines what a mechanic should be. The owners and employees treat every Japanese car like their own -- doesn't matter the age, the tech, whether it's fully loaded or stripped down. You feel like the world's top surgeons and the world's greatest detectives are working on your car, making sure it leaves better than new. The consistency is the cherry on top. You'd think, "I'm only getting this treatment because it's my first visit." Nope. It's white-glove service every single time. Spotless bathrooms. Water, hot coffee, snacks. A waiting area that's actually comfortable. This place makes the dealership service center -- or any third-party mechanic -- feel out of vogue. Like Latin: a dead language. And there's total transparency. A full, honest explanation of what's working and what's not. This isn't the dentist who tells you your mouth is full of cavities because he wants to drill his way into your wallet when nothing's actually wrong. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is how Cal Auto rolls. They'll give you honest recommendations and an accurate forecast of what your vehicle has ahead of it. And if you just want an oil change and nothing more -- they listen, and that's exactly what you get, with the proper care your car still deserves. And if you're still not sold -- Cal Auto uses only the best OEM parts for your vehicle. They will never, ever bolt on some knockoff third-party Amazon part or rig your car up like Frankenstein's monster just to get it sparking and running. This review is based on 15 visits over four years. I always felt assured that my vehicle and my wife's were in the best hands -- from routine oil changes to actual car emergencies. They never wasted my time, and never wasted theirs. Every question gets a real, thorough answer. I drive 45 minutes from Los Angeles -- a city where mechanics are a dime a dozen -- just to go to Cal Auto. And honestly, anyone in Southern California -- San Diego, Orange County, LA, even up to Santa Barbara -- should be making that drive too. That's the price of admission if you want the holy grail of auto shops. A true diamond in the rough.

David had inspected my lower control arm since his shop also too care of suspension issues. When David had my car on rack, he noticed a very noticeable wet area in middle and thought it was coming from transmission. Why he recommended Tom at Tomvo. When I brought my car into Tom today, he immediately put my car on the rack to check transmission. I was amazed, since I know nothing about transmissions other than they can be very expensive to replace, Tom could have easily told me my car needed repairs but did not. Not only did he tell me the wet area was nothing to worry about, given the age of my car, and there were no leaks coming from transmission. He also gave me peace of mind that Toyota Camry transmissions were built to last for the life of the car. His honesty was so refreshing in today's auto shop environment. His quick service and willingness to not charge for inspection as many shops are rare. Irony is I would never have come to Tomvo if I had not gone to local Big O' for simple oil change when they used every pressure tactic in the book to upsell a lower control arm replacement same day as oil change. AND I had already spent over $1000 just 13K miles ago for LCA replacement at another Big O'. What a ripoff with big box franchise service shops! I will be back to see tom when I suspect I have any electrical issues or my car needs servicing like tune-up, etc. Honesty for me is worth its weight in gold! thanks Tom!

Thank you for the reply…read more I saw Owner's reply and found out two things. 1. Owner's Lie. The owner said ' as explained during phone conversations ..' But truth is there was no explain, This is what exactly i asked 'did you charge 5.1 Qt for 6Qt price?' and the owner said "yes" that was it, no explain. after i heard only ' yes' with following silence, i said 'ok thank you' and hang up. 2. Owner should try to fine where the negative reviews are coming from, before complaining negative review accusing their business. Tom I am not here to accusing your business, i have my own business too. My parents love your shop, they went there for at least 7~8 years I feel bad for last few days after 1star review i left. this is wasting both of our time. This does not get us any profits. I actually came here to delete my review today. But instead here I am again wasting time, after reading your inaccurate reply. i used go oil change here and there, and i been one place charge 6Qt price for 5.4Qt. Some other place get me back the left over oils for next time. Some place use leftover for next customer and charge them for only 5Qt. they are all different. However you operates, its your business, but, charging 6Qt prices for little over 5Qt will keep accusing your business in long term, not the reviews. i wish i can come back and change rating anytime soon.

It has been about a couple of months since my car repair by Western Auto Care. My car is running…read moresmoothly for being 20 years old (2005 Toyota Corolla). Back in August my car stopped going in reverse and I knew it was time to replace transmission. I message around to a few vendors on YELP. Most of the vendors were were asking for double or tripled the amount for rebuilding transmission. Daniel suggested buying an used transmission which cut down on the costs significantly. Once I had the car dropped off he was constantly updating me with texts/photos of the car status. I also had him replace the real main seal (since transmission is already out) and replace the motor mounts (transmission and engine) and control arms with ball joints. They also tested the used transmission to make sure it held up. They were able to do all that work in 2 days. The car needed to run a while to break in the new/"used" transmission. Daniel and his team did an excellent job with the repair work, communication, and the pricing. The pricing was quite reasonable (Daniel did let me know ahead of time the pricing/quotes for potential work). I would take my current and future cars to him for any repair work. Sorry for the late review Daniel.
