Edwin took care of my out of town break down. Late on a Thursday afternoon my '82 El Camino broke down on I 5. Seems the AC unit froze up breaking the belt... which then cascaded and got tangled up with other belts in the pulley system. Lost my AC, water pump, and alternator. I had called a couple of shops and no one thought they could have the car completed the same day. Doc's towing recommended Edwin's and called ahead to confirm if Edwin could replace the belts before closing. Edwin said he could and ordered up the belts prior to my arrival. I am so thankful that Edwin stayed 1/2 hour past closing wrapping up my vehicle. He got me back on the road saving me a rent-a-car for the weekend as I needed to get up to Sonoma Raceway. Breaking down out of town frequently instills fear of being "taken" due to the urgency of the situation. Edwin's was very very fair in price. If I lived in the area I would make Edwin's my go-to mechanic. read more

When I mention it to them they gave some bullshit story. I also notice they swap parts off my vehicle too. This guy's area shitty mechanics. I would recommend them to anyone. There not trustworthy and karma will come.back to them too. IF YOUR WHITE STAY AWAY. JUST A WARNING. read more

Edwin's Quality Auto Repair was so great! I was on my way to a work event from southern CA to northern CA and my car broke down. Even though I had to get a rental and leave, he worked with my husband over the phone, communicated well and offered to stay late to be helpful. It was a big job that required removing my dashboard. What he charged was reasonable! If you are in the Los Banos area and need a mechanic, I highly recommend them. read more

My husband uses this auto shop last 3 years I mean for my hubby to become a come-back customer with Edwin must be legit- price is great, his work is great and honest. Today I'm by myself waiting for my suv AC to be fixed. 90min of wait in the office but 100degrees outside I don't mind being in a good cooling place right here. read more

See all

I requested a smog inspection. The business owner noticed the engine light was on. He told me that I needed to pay $60.00. Even though he knew the smog inspection was not going to pass, he still charged me. I had 30 days to make arrangements or that he would charge me $150.00 an hour possibly 2 hours at least for diagnostic inspection. When only taking less than 30 minutes to accomplish. I go with another mechanic he charges me $300.00 for diagnostics, parts and labor. I returned to the same business as a day before to finish the smog inspection. I noticed the guy with a sour face and with an attitude. He did the inspection and he notified me that it didn't not pass again. I'm pretty sure he wanted me to get a new catalytic converter to take advantage of me. I'm a Senior in social security, Medicare. Unable to be splendid, or generous with my money. I'm counting every penny I get and to top it off, im handicapped with severe pain throughout the day. Last time I'm going to visit that place. read more

Great guy. Does what he said he's going to do and know what's he is doing -- low price excellent service.

I arrived from out of town five minutes before they closed, however they were happy to help me. Very nice. While the place looks quite untidy the people are solid read more

I always hate when I need to get a smog check but this time it was easy. I showed up at Edwins he said go ahead and have a seat and I'll let you know when I'm finished. Made a phone call checked out their cool fish tank paid and was out of there in no time. I appreciated the awesome service. When I called he said I could come down right at that moment he was finishing up with another car super convenience. read more

Awesome family owned business. Knowledgeable and friendly with very fair prices. I was having issues with my truck not wanting to pass smog. Edwin pinpointed the problem, fixed it and my truck passed smog. He's done everything from oil changes to tune-up's on my vehicles, highly recommend them. read more

Broke down just outside of Los Banos and a semi-truck shop we walked to recommended Edwin. He was very fair and did good work. Would not hesitate to go back and have him work on our van again. read more

On a roadtrip from Vegas to Seattle, my car overheated along 1-5 near Los Banos around 5PM. Unfortunately, most places were closing around this time. However, the tow recommended Edwin as someone who could help after hours - I'm so glad he did! Not only was Edwin working after hours, but we received a MORE than fair price for the work he did. A failed thermostat was the culprit which was replaced that night. To be safe, he recommended we come back the following morning to diagnose some additional steam in the system. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a blown gasket that we weren't able to fix in the time we had to get to Seattle so we had to resort to a rental car. But Edwin was excellent throughout the process and thoroughly explained the problem and showed us the failed parts as he was taking them out. Seemed like a very trustworthy, no pressure mechanic. read more

My first experience at this shop and it was outstanding. Edwin is customer oriented, takes the time to understand your situation and what to do, all while charging a fair price. I will be going to this shop again if and when my vehicle needs it. read more

I broke down on I-5 and was fortunate enough to have a local tow truck driver recommend Edwin's to me. Edwin helped me himself. He was very honest and wanted to get me on the road again in the most efficient and least expensive manner possible. When his computer read the code saying the motor was not getting gas, he had me go full up the tank to see if it was a sensor issue before pulling the gas line to test the fuel pump (which involves a labor fee). It turned out it was my water pump, which couldn't be delivered for four days -- and he recommended I call the dealer because of a recall he knew about on Nissan water pumps of that year. What a stand up guy! The recall didn't cover me beyond the extended warranty period, so I left my car for him to fix. I have to return to LA to work so I can't come get it until next weekend, but at least I am leaving it in the hands of someone I trust. I highly recommend Edwin's for auto repair. read more

My daughter's car wouldn't start one morning and called to get it towed to a shop. The tow truck driver suggested Edwin's Quality Auto Repair instead of the shop my daughter wanted it towed to, so she agreed to have it towed to Edwin's. Their first diagnosis was a bad fuel pump and the estimate was $320. She agreed to have the fuel pump replaced. She called the shop the next day and they told her that the fuel pump was OK, but the engine needed to be replaced. Their new estimate to install a USED engine was $1800. I was a mechanic for 20+ years soI called to speak with the mechanic that provided the diagnosis and estimate. I asked him what was wrong with the motor and he said "The motor is bad." I asked him what specifically was wrong with the motor and he said it didn't have any oil. My daughter had checked the oil before having it towed and it was only a quart low. I asked the mechanic again what specifically was wrong with the motor, i.e. seized bearings, rings, valves. His response was there was no compression in any of the 4 cylinders. I told him to put everything back together because I was calling the tow company to get it out of that shop. I drove to Los Banos from out of town the next evening with some tools and a compression tester. After testing, I found all the cylinders had the proper amount of compression. I also noticed that 2 of the spark plugs had no gap between the center electrode and the ground electrode. I fixed the spark plug gap issue and put everything back together and the car started right up!! I added oil to the full mark and drove the car several miles. It ran like a charm and no engine noises like you would expect from a "bad motor." Do not trust this shop. They tried to cheat my daughter out of $1800 for something that took me 45 minutes to fix. BEWARE!! read more
