I gave up on my 2006 Acura TL last year, but Jeff basically maintained it for the last 5 years of its life. He also did some oil changes on my S2000 on occasion. I'm in a newer car now, so I might not be visiting until it's no longer dealer maintained, but Jeff was wonderful to work with and a very honest person. I'm sort of leaving this as a thank you for that service, knowing I might not be able to return for awhile. His service was also provided during a tough time in my life. He always charged me a fair price which is why I respect him a lot. I've never had a BS service recommended by him. Everything is "hey, look at this" or "this is what is wrong". If you are looking for an independent mechanic H & A auto is a trustworthy place that still exists in this day and age. read more

It's hard to find quality honest mechanics. I saved $$$ with my 2018 Acura tlx by not going to the dealer.

Absolutely the BEST! Jeff and his co-mechanics are so honest, friendly, responsible, and great at what they do. I will never rose my cars to anyone else. Even when my car was under warranty, I'd rather pay to take it to H and A. Such a rare find these days. Trust me. Top rate mechanics! read more

One of the best auto repair shops I have been. I was having trouble with sliding door, and they looked at it and repaired for free, no charge. While I didn't get big work done, their upfront attitude tells me that this is a good auto shop. read more

Jeff took the time to really understand how my car was running and recommended only the services needed, at reasonable prices. I will be bringing my other Acura and Honda to H & A. Thanks, Jeff read more

I could not have found a more honest and helpful mechanic! I went out on a limb because I was driving in the area and had an issue with my splash shield falling/dragging on the ground. Jeff started working on my car right away and tightened up a few issues on the car and was honest about what repairs were needed vs what I could get away without. They also made some recommendations for my vehicle maintenance and helped identify more cost saving options, when he could easily charge for the service himself. I could not recommend a more dependable and honest auto mechanic! If I ever need a service in the future, I will not hesitate to choose this shop. read more

Outstanding service. My Acura RDX had been diagnosed with an expensive problem, when replacing tires at a tire dealership. I decided to get a second opinion, and Jeff reviewed the issue. Thankfully, there was no problem. I appreciate Jeff's honesty and thoroughness. In the future, I will take my Acura RDX to H & A Auto for service. read more

I highly recommend this place, especially Jeff! I went because of an acute engine/AC noise issue, and had no idea what was causing it. Jeff evaluated the problem within minutes and fixed it very efficiently. He also explained the cause very clearly to me. Jeff has many years of experience with Honda cars, and it's clear that he knows what he's doing and what kinds of problems arise. He's also one of the kindest people I've met. I was hesitant to go by myself to a car mechanic because I don't know much about cars, but he is super trustworthy, kind, and friendly! I will go again and recommend to my closest friends and family. read more

Great service from Jeff. Good price. Only consideration is the unusual hours he is available. read more

Jeff is an extremely capable mechanic (along with his young sidekick, Ty) who is totally transparent about what he does and what he suggests. it's all for the benefit of the client (patient?) However, he has limited hours since he has a day job as an automotive executive, so he's clearly doing this for the love of it and for the relationships he has developed with his clients. read more

Yelp reviews here were on point. Just moved to the area and had to find a new mechanic. Had to get my Lexus ES350 serviced ASAP and had an issue with the car starting. Turns out I needed a new battery. Although they seemed busy, they fit me in. Jeff the owner and Ty are coolest guys you'll ever meet. read more

Jeff is a great guy that knows his stuff. Would recommend anyone with a Japanese vehicle to go here.

I had recently reached 100k miles on my Accord and the dealers were trying to push me into a $1200 service that I wasn't so sure about. After speaking with numerous mechanics, I saw my godsis' recommendation for Jeff. I messaged not expecting much, but I was already blown away by the way Jeff answered all my questions. He even offered to inspect my car to see if I really needed all the items Honda tried pushing on to me. I was able to meet Jeff a week before and all I really needed was a transmission fluid change. He's extremely honest and not one second did I feel like he was trying to push me into other services. It also didn't hurt that Jeff is very friendly and a great person to have a conversation with! I find it so difficult to come across a mechanic that is honest. I'm definitely coming back with any other problems I may come across with my car. Thanks Jeff for helping me save a bunch!! :) read more

My 3rd brake light was flickering and I was getting quotes at auto repair shops near my work to see if any of them can check whether it was the connector's issue or if I needed to replace the LED light. I received quotes ranging from $50 to $100 for labor only but luckily, Jeff said he'd take a look at my Honda, free of charge. I had already purchased a replacement over the weekend but wanted to make sure that there were not any underlying issues linked to the light. Jeff was friendly and knowledgeable and even let me watch him do the whole process in the shop. Not alot of mechanics allow their customers to step foot in the work area but I appreciated him letting me learn a thing or two. At the end of the day, it was just a simple light replacement but what made me even happier was that he didn't charge me a dime for the labor! Too often do females get taken advantage at auto repair shops because we supposedly do not know much about cars but Jeff was honest and did not push for additional services. I know for sure I'll be coming back to H&A for future repairs - plus the fact that he opens later than most shops is a win for me! P.S. It's easier to reach him via Yelp than calling the shop :) Also, he's technically only there when he has appointments. Just something to keep in mind! read more

As I told Jeff - he is the real deal. My friend, Dan, recommended this shop to me since he's been going for a while now. Jeff is not only is super informative but friendly and very inviting. I watched him interact with other customers and he treats everyone the same whether you're a regular or first time. Not to mention he was able to quickly help me with my tire (had a screw in it) and he didn't even charge me even though I insisted on paying. I would come back to Jeff for any future car repairs/maintenance...but he doesn't fix Nissans! The shop doesn't fix Nissans but he helped me with my tire anyways. It's so nice to know that there are businesses in the community that provide this level of service and care. read more

Great guys. Great work. Went there to change my oil, and made new friends. They were incredibly accommodating, friendly, and professional. -Stinger read more

Found this spot on Yelp. Jeff and his crew are everything you want from your mechanic. They performed a 120K major mileage service on my 4Runner for way less than the dealership. They were responsive, honest, and performed the service quickly. I will definitely continue to taking my car here. Thanks again! read more

Great shop. Honest folks. Been coming here for years for all of my Hondas and Toyotas!

Jeff did not overcharge me, was polite and professional the whole time and did the work on time as promised. Also he's been fixing Hondas since tbe 90's. Nuff said. read more

Hands down the greatest mechanic in OC. After giving dealerships chance after chance to offer straight forward (no BS) service, I decided to venture out and go to a private mechanic. H&A was at the top of every list, and for good reason. Jeff, the owner, and his associate Cory worked their magic on my 2010 Accord, which had a jacked up wheel bearing. It runs a whole lot smoother since taking it to them. There's still a lot that needs to be done with my car (since the dealerships never fixed a darn thing on it), so I'll definitely be back in business with H&A Auto soon enough. It's just nice to finally be able to take my car to a mechanic I can and do trust. It's one less thing to stress and worry about. I would recommend this shop to anyone with a Japanese car. read more

I dropped by just after getting my car diagnosed down the street and was hoping that I'd get an honest quote / details on what was wrong. Jeff was super helpful. Looked at my car and fixed it within 10 minutes. Turns out something just needed to be reset because Valvoline fucked it up last week when I went for an oil change. I'll be going here for my oil changes in the future instead of Valvoline. read more

Been going to H&A for over fifteen years. They have serviced four Hondas, a Toyota and a Lexus over the years with great integrity, fairness and reliability. They have helped me thru hundreds of issues, recalls, etc. I can't imagine ever using another mechanic. read more

Jeff and his team were knowledgeable, honest and provided great service for my Acura. Very reasonable prices and it was clear that they care about their work and clients. They did not try to sell me services that were not needed, and made me feel very comfortable with the entire process. Will definitely be bringing my vehicle back for any needed services in the future. Thanks, Jeff! read more

Jeff and his team has been the best ever since I came here as a newbie in this area. After I started living here before covid started I've been entrusting them to get my oil changed done and yesterday I got a flat tire and Jeff was so responsive when I called him and helpful to check out my car if there was any internal damages. Thank you Jeff for ur help, ur best care and advice and ur service! I love how ur hours are so flexible as other places u have to make appt and it's hard to get in. But u always make it work! Thank u and I'm so happy I can entrust my car to u and ur team! Happy holidays and happy new year! read more

My Honda's engine started misfiring so I decided to bring it to Jeff and H&A auto. What a great business! They diagnosed and repaired the issue in less than 20 minutes. What's more, Jeff generously shared some clever advice for keeping my vehicle in better operating condition while I was waiting. This repair shop is down to earth, honest, and generous with their customers. I will certainly be coming back the next time my car breaks down, and I highly recommend anyone reading this to do the same! read more

Jeff and Corey. My guys. I LOVE this auto shop. I normally only write about restaurants but these two here deserve a shout out. Reasonably priced, friendly, doesn't upsell, gives great advice, and honest. My boyfriend found them when I needed to get my Scion checked out before taking it on a long trip and I've been going back ever since. Oil changes are cheaper there too! The only oddity is their hours but it doesn't bother me because I live down the street and work regular corporate America hours anyways. Be sure to check out their operating days and hours before calling or taking it in and don't be surprised when you find yourself back here and over and over. Thanks guys! read more

Jeff helped me out with my car. I cannot tell you how hard it is to find a trustworthy mechanic. I came in about 3 months ago thinking something was wrong with my coolant system. Jeff told me the plug had come loose, and tightened it as well as fixed some other minor stuff FOR FREE. He earned my business that day. today, I had a knocking in my engine. Jeff listened to it intently, and diagnosed a bad water pump by ear. It amazed me. I asked Jeff to throw some new spark plugs in the car too. Price was absolutely reasonable (380 for spark plugs, new water pump, installation and coolant). Jeff even gave my car a whole run down and told me some common intervals for stuff to be replaced. Couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Thanks Jeff and the H&A Crew! read more

H & A Auto - This is Jeff. Friendly, knowledgeable and hard working. Do not hesitate to do business with this man! - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Owner is awesome, friendly, and affordable pricing. Able to diagnose out A/C problem and repair it before the summer heat.

Great service and gives you all the background for your car. Very very reasonable price and never want to repair something your car doesn't need. I recommend all the Honda and Toyota owners to come. read more

I just purchased a previously owned 2005 Honda Odyssey EX with a inoperable driver side sliding door. My regular mechanic did not work on this particular problem so they recommended H & A Auto. I had a fairly high degree of confidence that Jeff could fix my door since his specialty is Honda vehicles. After running several diagnostics and finding the part that I needed for the repair, my driver side door is functioning as good as new. I really appreciate the time and attention that Jeff gave to me as a customer for the professional demeanor. I own a 2004 Honda Civic, a 1999 Odyssey, and an 2005 Acura TL. I have been a Honda believer since I bought my first Honda Civic for my daughter and a Honda Fit for my son several years ago. From now on, H & A Auto is on top of my list for service for my Honda vehicles. read more

Corey and Jeff couldn't have been more helpful and responsive to my needs. I was coming from 2 hours away to test drive a used vehicle in Costa Mesa. After seeing their great Yelp reviews, I called to see if they'd be able to check out the car around 4 pm on Saturday. Unfortunately, I didn't even get to the car dealership until 4:15 pm. I arrived at H&A at 4:45 pm and they quickly went to work to identify how healthy the car was. They stayed well past their closing time of 5 pm just to make sure I was taken care of but did not rush the process and did a very thorough job inspecting the vehicle and giving me their professional opinions of what needed replacement (and how much life was left in those parts) as well as the pricing of what they would charge to fix theses few identified issues. I left knowing this was a solid, well maintained vehicle and confident in my decision to purchase it. Thank you Corey and Jeff for a truly wonderful experience. Just wish you were up in the San Fernando Valley so you could be my go-to mechanics! read more

I wanna give this place 10 stars if I could!! Jeff the owner was so nice and accommodating when I called him late on a Saturday afternoon asking if he could squeeze me in for a pre-purchase inspection of a used car (a Nissan, so not technically Jeff's specialty) that I was interested in buying that day. He explained to me that he was working a couple cars at the moment, but may be able to take a look if I give him a call back later. He also explained that Nissan was not his specialty but he would try to provide a general idea if I'm okay with it. When I called back at the pre-arranged time, which is already past the closing time posted online, Jeff was still willing to work on the car for me! When I got there, Jeff did a very thorough inspection of the car and shared every piece of information he found. He was very personable, professional, and honest, and I could not thank him enough for the things he taught me about this car and car inspection in general. When I asked him how much I owed him for the inspection, he simply waved his hand and said "zero, because that's my graduation gift to you" after he learned that I just graduated from med school. I couldn't believe my ears! I eventually pay this kind gentleman a hug. Jeff, thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my family today. We will definitely be back with our Toyota at home if it needs anything in the future. At the meantime, if you start servicing Nissan at anytime in the future, you bet you will be the first person I think of when my Nissan needs a tune-up! Thanks again Jeff!! read more

Jeff is super friendly & honest, not something to take for granted in this industry.

Did a walk in and they addressed my needs pretty quick despite having a packed schedule. Gave a great price and they are very nice people too! Will definitely be back :) FYI the GPS might take you through an alley, but just stay on Logan street and you will find the place. read more

My car was acting up for a few days and I finally decided to take it in to get a chieck up. Did not make an appointment and just walked in. The guy was very nice and accomodated me right away even though I did not make an appt. He made me fill out some paper work and then asked me what was wrong with my car that I neeeded to get checked. After his diagnosis, he actaully walked me over to my car and pointed out some other things that may have been wrong with the car. He addressed my concern and told me what he would do to repair the issue. He also commented that if what he did did not resolve the problem, then he would try another way but that he would deduct what I paid on my first visit off for the second repair. At the end of the visit, my car was fine and sounded normal again. Thanks again, I would not hessitate to go back if I should discover a problem with the car. read more

Found them via Yelp and very happy I scheduled an appointment. They couldn't have been nicer and were very helpful on a busy night. Haven't been able to find a great auto person in town and now feel like I have a place I can rely on to take care of me and my car, thanks again! read more

Everyone here is so amazing. From the owner, the younger guy working, and even the shop owner from the garage next door. So helpful and they don't try to confuse me and talk shit up so I pay more because I'm a chick. Their work is quality and so are the people. read more

I'm very glad to have found H&A Auto on Yelp as an honest, and a skilled mechanic is a very good thing to find. Jeff, the owner, is a great guy, and he really knows his stuff. Besides his mechanical acumen, he is honest. That's a very powerful combination if you're looking to have your vehicle serviced or repaired. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend H&A Auto to my most discerning friend or associate. read more

Awesome service, honest and highly qualified mechanic, big thanks to Jeff; he is very knowledgeable and technical person. I really appreciate him showing me in detail what I need now and what I don't need and I can wait. It's hard to find a car shops like this in this day n age. I can't believe it when he told me that I don't need new break pads on my GS. He said maybe by next oil change I should think about it. Who does that? He takes pride and stand by his work. It took Jeff 20 minutes to do the oil change. Inspection and my questions took another 15-20 minutes. My car was on the hydraulic jack/lift within minutes as I had an appointment. Price was very reasonable. Over all I am happy with the results and will be going back for sure. read more

Jeff (owner) and his assistant are master mechanics. They diagnosed my engine problem very quickly and knew how to proceed. They specialize in Honda and Acura vehicles but also work on other Japanese vehicles. My vehicle is a Toyota Sienna. If you're looking for a fair and competent auto repair shop, give H & A Auto a call or email. read more
