    Do you work on a 2009 Mercedes Benz ml350 I need a new starter?

    Hello Tom! Yes I do work on ost Mercedes Benz and BMWs

    We have inherited a 1986 standard shift Jeep Cherokee that has a dead battery and has not been started for more years than we know. We were told not to start it, as old gas and oil would cause damage. Is this something you could help with?

    Hello Lisa, Yes, they’re correct about that. You should be careful trying to start a car that has been inoperable for a long time.… 

    Can you perform a pre purchase inspections on a 2017 Honda Civic Coupe?

    Hi Laura! Yes I do perform pre purchase inspections. That is one of my services I offer.

    Do you work on classic cars? I have a 70 Camaro needs a new starter

    Yes I do. Classic cars are my passion. They can be a nice hobby and lots of time can be invested working on them.

    Do you do transmissions removal and install? I have a 2008 Toyota Sienna AWD, already got a used transmission and just need the old one pulled from the van and the used one installed. Let me know what you would charge. Thanks!

    Yes I do that kind of work. Only if you are located in the Costa Mesa area or it’s surrounding cities. The cost of removing and replacing the transmission various depending on the time that calls for. Feel free to call me so we can talk more about…

    He arrived early, gave me a diagnosis and an estimate, and was done with replacing my starter in less than 1.

Even though I live all…read morethe way in Chino, something about their reviews made me feel like I could trust them -- and I was right. When my SUV overheated and the engine failed, I was overwhelmed. But the moment I spoke with them, it felt like a weight lifted. They understood exactly what was happening before they even saw the car. Instead of pushing a costly $6,000 engine replacement, Byron found a way to rebuild the engine through a machine shop, saving me thousands. That kind of honesty is rare. The repairs took time, but they never rushed. They kept us updated, checked every detail, and refused to release the vehicle until they were absolutely sure there were no leaks, no issues, no surprises. After dealing with another shop that returned our Honda Pilot with oil leaks, this level of care meant everything. What stood out most was their integrity. Their kindness. Their commitment to doing the right thing even when it takes longer or costs them more effort. If we lived closer to Costa Mesa, we'd bring every one of our vehicles here without hesitation. There truly aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am for Byron and his team. They didn't just fix my SUV -- they restored my trust in what an honest auto shop can be.

    Had to do lots of work -- but these guys again treated me in a fair and honest manner. My repairs…read morewere costly (I have a 2014 so I knew it was time), but they fully explained everything, saved the parts, and did the work quickly and right. Again. This is my place.

Gary, the manager, personally added oil and had a lovely young man who was, of course, sweating, added air to my tires. This is the great service this location of Expertec provides. Normally, it's preferable to make an appointment and Mike will drive you home or to the office AND pick you up when your car is ready. I have never had such good service anywhere! Of course, I highly recommend Expertec Costa Mesa!

I was going somewhere else prior and they would keep my car the entire day for a basic oil change. The first time I came after having my car serviced elsewhere and heard an odd sound when I got it back. I asked ExperTec if they could get my car back to me by the end of the day and they weren't sure, however I did get my car back within a few hours. I think they're priced fairly compared to other places in the area. I like that they're open on weekends too. I'm not a mechanic by any means but I'm also super wary of being taken advantage of which happens almost every where I go. I will say they did tell me my car passed their inspection then tried to recommend a bunch of services I'd had done recently. They didn't push me to get them or try to scare me into thinking my car was going to explode if I didn't do the recommended services lol. I've recommended this place to a couple people and they've been happy too so I think they're pretty good overall.

    I previously left a five-star review because I had a good experience here. At the time, EU was…read morehonest enough to tell me I didn't need a tire rotation, which saved me money as a student. Because of that, I came back for multiple oil changes. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was completely different. I was charged a high price for what should have been a simple oil change and cabin/air filter replacement, and I ended up waiting about two hours for the work to be completed. After talking it through with someone more familiar with car maintenance, it became clear that I was likely overcharged for a job that should have been quicker and more reasonably priced. What made the experience worse was the interaction before my appointment. When I asked for clarification about being told I may need "air," EU laughed at me for asking. I'm neurodivergent and sometimes take things more literally, so I was just trying to confirm whether I was being charged for something that is often free. Instead of explaining, I felt mocked for asking a simple question. Because of this experience, I no longer feel comfortable or confident returning here. I'm sharing this as a caution for other customers--especially women and neurodivergent people--who may not be as familiar with car maintenance and rely on mechanics to be honest, respectful, and transparent.

Sadly, Kelly and Armando are not there right now and there is someone named Daniel there who is NOT looking out for the long time customers.. he makes sure you know he is all about the company and not about the customers. Watch out.. his priority is NOT you! I asked where Kelly and Armando were and he said "they are on leave" and when he refused to take care of me like Kelly and Armando have for years and years, he said " that's why they are on leave".. Completely unnecessary. I went in for the lifetime alignment that Pep Boys honored when they took over the location years ago from Discount Tire and again he told me NO.. He is the new sheriff in town for sure and he is not there to take care of all the women who have trusted this shop for so long because women do get discriminated against in many car repair shops.. and Kelly and Armando always made sure everyone was taken care of in the very best way possible.. women included. I miss them! I am getting my oil changed tomorrow at Midas as they are $30 less than Pep Boys with their Groupon Labor Day special and I am getting my tires aligned at the new Discount Tire on Newport Blvd in Costa Mesa. They are honoring the lifetime alignment I bought in 2003 when my car was new, before Pep Boys took over the location from Discount Tire. So many are stepping up to take care of me now that Daniel has repeatedly upset me refused to help. I hope Kelly and Armando come back and I hope Pep Boys realizes what a treasure they have in those two men. Miss them!! Our neighborhood store is not the same right now!
