I have taken one of my cars here consistently, for the last five years, for repairs that occur with older vehicles. I recently used their services and ended up once again.Receiving very fair, competent and quick services. I appreciate the shop a lot. I wish there were more shop owners That acted more like humans like Enjoying Mechanicx instead of fortune 500 corporate sharks. read more

I went to see Dennis again for advice on an auxiliary transmission cooler. Dennis very kindly looked at my vehicle and said another cooler would not be necessary as the factory-installed one would be sufficient. I clearly trust Dennis and his fine shop. All of his employees are also skilled and reliable mechanics. On a very positive note, Dennis did not charge me anything to inspect the vehicle. Thank you very much. read more

Great mechanic shop! Couldn't be more happy with the service and work done to my 2013 Ram 1500 my engine was bad and Dennis was upfront with me after doing the inspection which he does not charge for the first 30mins and I guess it didn't take longer to diagnose .... that my cam shaft and lifters were bad and told me that he didn't feel comfortable fixing that and it was better to get a new engine if I wanted....Obviously I wasn't happy I needed a new engine so I took it to other shops to get other opinions and was charged 180$ to be told exactly the same thing at another mechanic shop down the street. I ended up getting the new engine and it has been great and Dennis gave me the best price I called multiple shops and he did it for the best rate I got from calling other shops with a warranty and he is AAA approved. Definitely will come back when I need anything else. It's a smaller shop but the work speaks for itself read more

Excellent! My oldest found this mechanic and came home and said he was impressed with the care and customer service he received. I needed to replace my valve gasket cover and I remembered my sons recommendation. I was also impressed and I will enthusiastically recommend to all friends and family. read more

Ten out of ten Glad these guys took over the spot. Used to see Bill here and glad someone good is here now too. read more

I had a brake job. No appointment was necessary. Quick turn-around. Friendly service. Very affordable.

10/10 Recommend Hyro & His Team @ Enjoying Mechanics. They were knowledgeable, quick and affordable.. couldn't ask for more!! I officially found my new go-to Auto Shop in HB. Thank you again! (: read more

Had AC issue and most places didn't want to look at it without diagnostic fees which is ridiculous. I found this shop on google with exceptionally high reviews and called them. I spoked with Dennis the owner and he was great I brought my car over and he found the problem within 10min gave me a very honest and fair price and everything was done. Thank you Dennis for all your help I truely appreciate your honesty. read more

The new location is incredible. Dennis was already known as one of the best honest mechanics in town. They give me great attention, have a very skilled team of mechanics who really know how to fix cars right and not just talk you into things that don't need to be done. Great guys and great service. read more

They are reliable and quick. It is great to more feel like I'm putting out through the wringer when I need work done.

asked for a specific quote for a specific repair and was told to "get a proper quote." Ridiculous as it is a frayed emergency brake cable for front of vehicle. spoke to gm and even gave them the part number. how much more info is needed for the simplist of diagnosis and repair? This is not rocket science. read more

"Enjoying Mechanics" took over the place that used to be "Fair Auto" -- which I've been going to for the past 16 years until Bill retired earlier this year. I didn't realize this until it was time for my synthetic oil change for my Toyota Rav4 Hybrid Limited. When I looked up "Enjoying Mechanics", I was glad to hear that they've been in business since 1971, had moved to Fountain Valley in 1993, was purchased by Dennis in 2004, and recently moved to HB location (near Gothard and Talbert) in 2024. I called them this AM and Dennis immediately answered. He gave me a reasonable quote for the synthetic oil change (currently there's an Oct 2024 special for oil change) and an estimate for my 60K major service. I was able to bring in my car this morning at 9:30am. Since it would take about 1-1.5 hours, I just walked over to the HB Central Library to catch up on some work. I got a call at 10:45am that the car was ready. Walked back, paid, and was on my way. Very glad that I found another trusty and fair auto mechanic shop. read more

Absolute top notch service from Dennis and his team. I've had 3 or 4 different cars brought here multiple times for different things, and I always leave with peace of mind and a better running car! Thank you very much read more

I been going to these guys for about 3 years now and they have always been good to me. They are honest and always upfront and never try to upsell you on anything. Their service is great too, very fast. And there are very affordable. read more

Saved me $900 off the quote from AutoNation Honda, Costa Mesa. Repeat: SAVED me $900. Should I mention $400 of that savings came from Enjoying Mechanics NOT doing unnecessary service on my back brake pads and rotors? And, the kicker, Honda wanted three days to "get the parts" and do the service (water pump, thermostat, brake pads and rotors on 2013 Honda Civic). Enjoying Mechanics got the whole thing done in less than 5 hours. The last honest mechanic: Dennis Smartt and his team. I recommend HIGHLY! read more

Was recommended to Enjoying Mechanics from AAA Insurance, smog certification. Needed a leaky vacuum hose replacement to pass and also for a free AAA, 40 points inspection. During the inspection, they found that the valve cover was leaking and needed to be removed and replaced. Enjoying also fixed the vacuum hose. My truck was ready in no-time and the cost was very reasonable with also a AAA 10% off labor. I will be using Enjoying Mechanics in the future for all my cars. They are located 2 miles from my home which makes them very convenient for me and my family. Thank you Enjoying Mechanics for doing a fantastic, first job. read more

Dennis is a nice enough man. Unfortunately, we have not had good luck with them. 4 of our cars had to go back in after servicing bc his mechanic continually forgets to hook back up wires, refill fluids, and such. Then they broke our dash board and have given us the run around about fixing it. We are done there. read more

I can't believe the honesty and service I received at this mechanics shop! If it didn't happen to me, I probably would've thought I was lying! I brought my minivan in one rainy day because I needed the rear quarter panel window mechanism fixed. The latch bolt and nut had fallen off so I had gone on Amazon to buy the parts and try to replace them myself. After an hour of frustration--and feeling quite defeated--I gave up and decided to bring it into this shop for help. When I walked in the door, a young man stopped what he was doing and approached me immediately. I told him my situation and he brought some tools outside and started working. I was kind of surprised by his willingness to help me so quickly so I figured it was probably a quick fix. Well, 10 minutes passed and he was still tinkering in my van. He asked me to turn on the engine and use the controls on the dashboard to adjust the window so that it would better align and expose the control arm properly while he worked on it in the back. Another 5 minutes passed and then it started to rain. Oddly, he continued to work without any hesitation so I took out an umbrella and stood over him to keep him dry. It took him a good 25-30mins to finally get everything bolted back on securely and to his satisfaction. I felt vindicated for not being able to "DIY" this myself earlier. And then a strange thing happened. After he had finished, he packed up his tools and said to me "Okay, you're good to go!" and then went right back into the shop without even looking back. I stood there in the parking lot for a minute wondering if I had misheard him. Did this young man really spend almost half an hour on my car and then sent me home without billing me for his time? That can't be right. . . . So I went back into the shop ready to fill out some forms and to pay for the service I had just received. When I got inside, the young man was genuinely surprised to see me. Then an older gentleman came out from an adjacent room and in the warmest voice this side of the North Pole asked me for a very nominal fee. He turned to the young man and said "well you did spend a good 20 minutes of your time out there." I paid him the cash and went home quite flabbergasted yet elated by this place. They have gone well over and beyond my expectations. As silly as it sounds, I can't wait to come back here for any future car-related issues! read more

Dennis has kept my cars and trucks running perfect for almost 20 years . He dropped in a new motor in a 1953 Chevy truck years ago and just repaired my fuel injection on a 1937 ford . He works on old and new vehicles and does an amazing job at a fair price ! He just moved the shop to gothard and Talbert , new shop but the same great service. A ++++ read more

Great service! Thankful to have found an honest mechanic who cares about the customer! We will be back!

Dennis is very professional and honest. He checked engine mount and explained to me in detail. It is helpful for me to understand it. Highly I would recommend Enjoy Mechanics. read more

This is a response for Dennis. In my glove compartment, I have CDs and another book. The manual is always on top of my other book, but when I checked after getting serviced the manual was underneath that book. So if you were just searching for the manual that other book shouldn't have been moved at all. And you should ask next time before going through someone's personal space. My new mechanic who replaced your defective starter didn't even do that. For a part that lasted only 2 weeks, that shows some serious careless work from the company and a poor choice of sourcing on your part. That is why I didn't care for the warranty because how can you guarantee me that you'll give me the best part the second time when you gave me the worst one the first time? I didn't want to take my chances. Also, you didn't let me know it was a rebuilt or I would not have gone with that. read more

Great service! Had a key ignition problem and they had it fixed when they said they would and took care of everything. Nice guys and Dennis is the man! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a reliable mechanic! read more

Went to get advice on my car and figure out what was wrong and said to leave my car to get worked on. Trusted this place because had good reviews. Told me They fixed the leaks. When my car was back seemed ok but engine light when on shortly. I was charged 800$ for a job that was not done. FRAUD. DO NOT RECOMMEND OR TRUST!! read more

Enjoying Mechanics - Auto Repair Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Always helpful and honest. They've worked on both of my cars. I'm always happy with the cost and results received.

Super impressed! I was referred here by another foster parent for our inspections, and Dennis was accommodating, helpful and fast!

My car broke down in the Costco gas lane at the pump!! Can you imagine the stress?!?! Luckily someone pushed me out and the tow truck driver recommended Enjoying Mechanics since it was within a mile or two. I work down the street from here and never took my car here. Well now I have taken 2 cars here! The prices are cheaper than other prices, and they have the AAA discount. Dennis is totally cool and so is the dog but I forgot the dog's name!! Will continue to use this mechanic. read more

Called last minute due to my car breaking down on route to home. I was able to drop in last minute, get my car repaired, and it was ready for pick up the following day. Thank you! read more

My check engine light went on and I immediately got anxiety of how much it was going to cost. Called and brought my car in today, was quoted a price for the repair and also had them check my AC. The price was totally fair and I felt like I wasn't being ripped off or mislead with information. Trusting mechanics is hard when you have very limited car knowledge. Thank you for doing an excellent job and unfortunately I WILL BE BACK! read more

Great service at a fair price, and my car was ready sooner than expected. Diagnosed and repaired quickly with quality parts.

My dashboard was making some very concerning knocking noises, so I decided to finally take my car to the mechanic. The people here are incredibly kind and do honest, quick work. I got a texted quote within an hour of bringing the car in and they made sure to confirm that I wanted the service before starting. My car was ready the next day and has been in tip top shape (as much as an 8 year old car that's been driven be can be ) ever since! HIGHLY recommend! read more

My poor Honda Civic needed some love. I live in LA where the streets are uneven and the traffic lights are suggestions. After about 4 years of driving around the bumpy streets, I began feeling some extreme wear on my car. For those of you living in or around LA, the unevenness of the streets create unnecessary wear on the suspension, mounts, and struts. These components keep the car functioning smoothly when driving; they also provide shock absorption so that the vehicle handles better. After about 4 years of living in LA, surviving surprise potholes and ridiculous inclines, my poor car started to feel unstable; driving slow caused rattling and driving fast sent extreme vibrations through the entire car. I knew I had to do something or suffer a large accident. I've never been to Enjoying Mechanics. I visit my friends in Fountain Valley and they've spoken highly of the place: speedy service and no ridiculous labor costs. David helped me, today. I told him I had concerns about the jittery car and pointed out that my struts might be damaged and need replacing. He took note and I left the car for a couple hours for inspection. As someone who knows nothing about cars, his observations and advices were very helpful. Turns out my struts, although worn--130,000 miles will do that--did not need replacing. What needed immediate attention was the front arm and the set of mounts that fastened the front two wheels. The results he promised were delivered. My car no longer has trouble going over speed bumps and the vibrations lessened considerably. He even summarized further repairs if I'm so inclined to fix my car further. I will definitely come back for any further repairs and tune ups, loved their honest assessments and chill attitude. read more

Best mechanic in Orange County. Dennis is someone you can trust who has your best interest in mind. Dennis has always given me honest advice and never pushes work that does not need to be done. This business is 5 Star over and over due their service and ethics. I have been taking my cars here for over a year now. My last visit I was told from another shop I need a repair that was estimated over 1k. Dennis assumed me I didn't need that repair and pointed me in the right direction for what was needed. Enjoying Mechanics is honest, reliable and affordable. Thank you Dennis!!! read more

I had an unexpected trip come up and I needed a last minute oil change. They were able to get me an appointment. Great service highly recommend. read more

Enjoying mechanics is by far the best shop around.They gave me a fair price and quality work on our jeep.They replaced our clutch in one day .so cool thanks very much. read more

First time customer and am very happy with the repairs they did for my Yaris. It was a big difference when I got my car back, no more rattling noise and a smooth ride! Dennis was very helpful in letting me know what my car needed and honest about the costs. I was relieved when I saw the bottom line numbers. They had my car ready in a few hours and did an incredible job and I am so glad my car does not make that embarrassing noise anymore. Will be back to switch the breaks and I definitely would recommend this shop for anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable mechanic. Thank you so much ! read more

Excellent experience! Honest and fair pricing..no hidden charges. Highly recommended!

David is a great mechanic, he's honest and really takes good care of his customers. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a trusted mechanic. read more

I was referred here 5 years ago by AAA and is the only mechanic I go to now. Dennis and his techs are honest, helpful and fair. My brakes needed to be replaced and I honestly don't remember when I had them done there but they did and all I had to pay for was the parts. Me and my car are very happy now. read more

I am new to the area and had to get my car looked at after the check engine light came on. After a very helpful phone call, I took my car in. I dropped my car off and within an hour David called me to update me. He was honest with me about my car and that it wasn't something that I had too much to worry about and to take care of it when I can. They did not try to make up work that didn't need to be done which I feel isn't common anymore. Best part is that the $52 diagnostic actually goes to work done on your car. So it's basically a free diagnostic if you get your work done there. That's AMAZING. I don't know if this is common practice but since I only lived a couple miles away David actually came and picked me up to get my car. One of the most positive automotive experiences I've ever had. I will no doubt be using them for all my car needs! read more
