This is a gross example of a business being driven by sales people rather than technicians. I told a family member (mechanic) about the repair work being done to my car and was told I was being charged more than double. When I described their additional recommendations, I was advised, "get your car out of there. " Spent $1000 and I'm so much more worried about my safety after the "repair work" than before. Really regret coming here. read more

There isn't enough stars to express my gratitude to Daron and this establishment. I've been here a few times and every time, they are so helpful, honest, and fair in everything they do. I would recommend Herb's Garage to anyone needing automotive services. You won't regret it. From the staff, to the transparency, and the overall value. You'll never feel like it's a money grab like most places. I appreciate it and will be back. Thanks for everything, Daron. read more

They were very kind and efficient. They gave me hope in humanity that were so kind and generous. read more

I got to say, that I'm super impressed with this garage. I have been coming here with my cars for years and it's only gotten better over the years (especially since Darron took over as manager) From oil changes on my ford Taurus to alternators on my mother in law's Avalon. Great service and SUPER HONEST ( a rarity in mechanics) and great prices. From Koko the mechanic to Darron. THANK YOU and HIGHLY recommended read more

I took my '89 Camero to Herb's with a broken latch on the convertible top. Uncle Jack worked on it for 3 days, tracing wiring, taking things apart and putting them back together, very time consuming and a little frustrating. Uncle Jack and his nephew Daron are the nicest guys you ever could meet in the car repair business. They listened, and explained what they were doing. Very pleasant experience. Very affordable. Uncle Jack even gave me a "Herb's Garage," coffee cup. read more

Went in for a full fluid flush for my 350z and their assistance was great. Car has not had any issues and I will definitely be back in the future. read more

Herb's Garage - Sorry clean office - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Sketchy. My daughter and I were told she needed a new transmission and that instead of repairing the car we should just donate the car to a charity. We were then offered a car on their lot to purchase. This seemed legitimate until we called to get the old car picked up by the donation people. The owner hung up on the donation company and when we called to see what was up, we were told that the car was "theirs now". When I called the owner again to question this, she said they would "take care of our car and that she would send me a donation slip for our taxes". That never happened either. Something wasn't right. read more

My car broke down the day before Christmas Eve. Herb's Garage stayed late on Christmas Eve- past their open hours for the holiday- to get my car up and running so that I could be with my family. They charged fairly for the time, made the same recommendations as other mechanics had recently for future maintenance, and treated me incredibly well. I'd recommend 'em to anyone in need. read more

My old mechanic retired so I had to find someone new. I was going to use them, need to get a head gasket replaced on a 2003 Mustang Mach 1. Went to Repairpal and got a quote $3400-$4200 if both gaskets needed to be replaced and they listed 23 shops that could do the work. I called Herbs garage to start to set up an appointment and to confirm the quote range was accurate. Explained the problem to the lady that answered the phone and she went right to, you have to bring it in before we can give you a quote. So I guess this online on RepairPal " We found 23 RepairPal Certified shops near you honoring this estimate." Does not apply to Herbs Garage Needless to say I am not going to have my car towed there when they cannot even ball park a quote over the phone but have no problem doing it online.. They just lost a paying customer. 5/18 Update Darrin did give me a call this morning, the person who answered the phone was a call service. He did go over everything in detail with me which was nice and he got my respect for the follow up call. read more

What a Gem I would have to say! The best auto shop in OC...Business owner is communicative and very friendly that I felt I was being treated like family which made the experience amazing! As speaking to the owner she mentioned "I'm here to provide great customer service", that is one thing that stood out to me...I will be returning! and I most definetly recommend bringing your car in. You definetly feel the love they pour into their line of work. For a first time customer I'd give this shop a million more stars if I had the opportunity. read more

Herb's garage is my go-to place for any auto repairs. I've been bringing my cars there since 1994. I trust them to do an excellent job on my vehicles at very fair prices. Daron manages the store following in Arman's footsteps with friendliness, professionalism and a strong customer service approach. For great service and excellent repairs I would contact Herb's Garage before going anywhere else. Linda read more

These people are amazing! Daron and his Sister are great at what they do. I have a Lexus that started giving me problems. I took it to another shop who said there were so many diagnostic codes that they said they couldn't work on it and I had to take it to the dealer. The dealer found 28 diagnostic codes and quoted me the work. I called Herb's Garage and Daron quoted me significantly lower prices so I took it there. It took a few weeks to fix the issue because there were so many codes. Even after they fixed the noticeable issue (rough idle), the check engine would still come on. They finally fixed that issue. The car was a problem with only 60k miles. Daron and his team definitely worked hard on it and solved the difficult problem. They were gracious enough to help out with a rental for a little bit of time too. They charged very reasonable prices, especially for the amount of work performed. Car now runs great. It's safe to say that I finally found a mechanic who I consider my mechanic. read more

Great service, communication and pricing. Very happy to find a mechanic that I can trust. I highly recommend.

I needed floor mats for my BMW, Ashlin and Daron had exactly what I wanted at an amazing price. Appreciate you guys!

I have been bringing all my family cars here for over 10 years. I have a great relationship with Arman and Daron and Ashlyn. They have my complete trust when they tell me what needs to be repaired or replaced. I will never use anyone else. Great, Quality work each and every time. read more

I went in to get a slow leak in my tire repaired and to have my squeaky window checked. I'm not very car savvy however Darren helped me make an informed decision about the services I needed (and didn't need)!

The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, I will definitely be going back for all future car services! read more

I took my car here to get my brakes done, last Saturday. Darren and the staff were very nice and gave me a great deal on four new tires. They weren't pushy with their suggestions but did tell me what they thought was best. I will definitely be bringing my car back here. read more

I paid Herbs Garage $1600 for my car to break down on my way home. Called the owner Darren who assured me he was helping me out! Told me it was not his problem! Have in writing warranty as well as a witness. He advised me to " take him to court" unfortunately this is how they do business. I towed my car to mikes auto service down the street to double check their work. He immediately told me they didn't do what they said. Save your hard earned money and take your business to someone who deserves it please ! read more

I am super satisfied with this place! The entire experience was straight forward and their repair has passed the test of time. My VW Tiguan was leaking coolant like a sieve. They replaced my water pump & timing belt and my car was ready to pick up the next day! I am always willing to pay top dollar for good work, but their price was still super competitive. I hope everyone's experience here is as good as mine. These guys have been in Costa Mesa since I was a kid so they must be doing it right. read more

Ashlin and Darren are great at making you feel like family when you are there. Arman and the shop get the job done and add little touches like getting your car washed! I highly recommend this gem!

My first time here was for screeching brakes. Daron took the time to show me what exactly was going on and showed me what the disc looked like. As a teacher, this stood out to me. They have great hours, open on Saturday's, too, and always fit me in when I need an oil change. read more

Their prices were great, I'm very happy with my experience with this shop. read more

Awesome and honest family business! I took my car in for an AC repair and was so satisfied that I brought my car back for a rear view mirror replacement. I hate the typical up sell and the taken advantage of feeling that I usually get when I bring my car into places. You don't get that here! They shoot you straight and give you what you need/ask for which is very refreshing! read more

This is all false n untrue I asked for them to fix the fule line it was a simple fix n thinking its recommended by AAA it would have been a simple fix as u can see by the review of said owner he is very immature n clearly incompetent to handle customers that have knowledge of their car none of the good reviews r real customers this place is only for people that represent the owner a kid with well-off parents that got something handed to them that they can't handle read more
