if I could give 10 stars I would! Hi Tek has consistently done a great job on any vehicle I have brought in. They have never tried to upsell me and always have made me feel comfortable about their recommendations. If you don't take your vehicle to Hi Tek, you should! read more

Recently had my oil changed here and the service was amazing. Mario was super friendly and helpful. He checked all my fluids and gave some great tips to keep my car maintained. The shop is nice and neat. I will definitely be coming back here for all my car maintenance. I highly recommend this place :) read more

Truly the most reliable, trustworthy mechanics in all of O.C. José and his crew always do an excellent job every time I bring in my car for service and never suggest or try to push extra services that I may no need (but sometimes do reasonable suggestions of things that do need repairs or replacements). It's hard to find reliable, honest people in this business and they truly are that: honest, reliable hardworking people. I'll be sure to bring my car here for many years to come. read more

My favorite people! Always helpful and super super nice. I'll always be going here from now on! Beth and Mitch are the best :)

Brought a couple of my cars here and I refer all of my friends in the area to Jose at Hi-Tek Garage. This is the most professional trustworthy shop I've ever been to and always gives me great deals and great customer service with short turnaround time. I took my e92 M3 here since I knew Jose also had one so he knows that car for sure. I take it here for regular maintenance and any issues I might have. I've also taken my gf's RDX here to check out before buying a used one and have referred so many of my friends as well. These guys keep a clean garage which is rare too! Jose and his crew definitely know what they're doing! read more

Great service, good pricing, they don't try to rip you off or suggest service you don't need. Very efficient, reliable and friendly

Love this place. Was greeted by John, who was so friendly and helped me set up my appointment. They looked over my jeep and found the spark plugs were faulty and swapped them out and other maintenance items and my jeep is running good as new. Super friendly staff$! Great experience. Highly recommend. read more

Great service and very reputable new owners. I was a longtime customer Hi-Tek and last year had new oxygen sensors put in. Unfortunately a stored inactive code was triggering my check engine light to turn on. Instead of charging me thousands of dollars in replacing parts my car did not yet need, the technicians did their due diligence and found a faulty sensor. They honored the warranty and did not charge me for the replacement or manual labor. I had searched for automotive repair shops when I first moved to OC. I'm very pleased I don't have to search again. Hi-Tek is both trustworthy and provides high quality service! read more

Jose and Ben are proper honest mechanics. I am happy to trust my vehicles to them and know that they will recommend what is necessary and not try to push things that aren't. Their work is excellent, they are well priced and really nice people. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a mechanic- whether it's a basic oil change or more extensive work. They work on the car I will be giving my child to drive. I'm not sure how much more clearly I can say I trust their work. read more

I've been going here for years, Rafael, now retired was an amazing man, whom I trusted. When he retired I was sad. Jose, the current owner/operator came in and cleaned the garage to pristine conditions, very impressive for a garage. Jose is honest, trustworthy and admirable. I give him my car without hesitation because he always does right by me! He's a perfectionist, who will not accept anything less than perfect and I appreciate that he is; because I trust that the work performed will be the very best! He is also interesting to talk too! I wouldn't go anywhere else and if I could give them 10 stars, I would! Pacifica read more

I want to thank Jose, and Ben at Hi-Tek Garage for helping me out with my M2 Competition. Hi-Tek is not my "normal" shop, but I was in a crunch, and I've heard such great things about Hi-Tek I decided to stop by. I'm very happy I did! Thank you Adam for hooking me up with Ben, and Jose. I thought I might have had a problem with my car, so Jose did a complete diagnostics scan for me, and it turned out my car is just fine! I'm so thankful for them taking the time to look at my car without even an appointment ! Very nice clean shop, very personable, and skilled. If you're in the area, or you just need a second opinion. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Jose, Ben, and their Hi-Tek Garage staff are a tremendously trustworthy, competent, and cost-effective team. I recently drove ~45 miles with my GF from DTLA to Costa Mesa to have her Audi A5 serviced by these gentlemen and I experienced for myself why she goes the lengths for Hi-Tek. Upon arrival, I saw that their service areas are "Top Top" in orderliness and cleanliness. When she and I detailed her service needs for an oil change and tire maintenance, Jose took note and also offered additional information to assure us that her Audi A5 would be well taken care of. After a 1.5-2 hour wait, it was!!! Jose and crew even identified a nail in the treads of two of the four tires and plugged them up without an additional charge. Not only is GF's Audi A5's engine purring with a fresh oil change, the tires feel solid and responsive thanks to Hi-Tek Garage. read more

I'm from Northern California. Was in SoCal for work and small family trip. Car (2002 Chevrolet Suburban w 240k miles) broke down in Irvine right when we got off the freeway to grab lunch. Wouldnt restart so had car towed to our hotel. Since I wasnt familair with local shops, I looked on Yelp for a good one. Called Hi-Tek and had a good conversation with them. Had car towed to their shop the next morning. Continued the good conversation with the Hi-Tel team, they did a quick test and found it was fuel delivery related. I told them i had to get my free hotel coffee out the car and thats when they asked "Are you not from around here?" When I told them no and told them just trying to finish my family trip in Anaheim, they told me they would do what they can to find out whats wrong and fix the car for me so I can enjoy my stay. About 3 hours later I spoke with the team and they told me the fuel pump failed. They already had the new pump om the way and said my car would be done in a few hours! These guys are good! Picked up the car and was able to finish our trip and drive back to NorCal with no problem! Its been about 2 weeks now and car is all good! Couple of things about the shop - place is VERY CLEAN and WELL ORGANIZED, the entire Hi-Tek team was friendly, and they went way above and beyond to get me and my family our car back asap! They didnt overcharge me even for the rush job! Amazing shop, honest guys that deliver great work! Thanks Hi-Tek Automotive!! read more

Highly recommend, very trustworthy, and best prices in town. Best mechanic shop I've ever come across.

They checked out my car on a whim and were quick to schedule an appointment and get me a quote prior to my scheduled appointment. I had my car there in the morning and they had it to me before close of business the same day. Prices were fair and they seem really trustworthy in an industry where it's hard to find honest people. We definitely be returning for needed services (as this wasn't a service visit) and bring our other cars here as well! Thanks Jose and the team for a great experience! read more

This spot is definitely a hidden gem. Been to many different shops but never been to a place so clean and tidy. Their customer service and workmanship is superb and they definitely stand behind all their job. Really liked how well they communicated with me through the whole repair process. Jose would take his time explain things in layman's terms and make sure I know everything that's being done. They went above and beyond on checking the whole vehicle. Their work is so good I bring both cars and have all my employees go to them. I've done my due diligence before coming here and found out that they are the most competitively priced. I pushed my car from one garage to this one because they gave all the confidence that they were the ones to fix my ride and never regretted since. Both my rides drive smooth. They definitely got my business!! Oh, they are all dog lover. My dog made this place his second home! read more

See all

Thanks so much for the kind service & expert advice! Jose and his crew were very helpful. I'm happy I found a trustworthy mechanic so close to home. Bonus points for giving my dog treats and pets! read more

The guys over at Hi-Tek Garage are great. Very affordable, trustworthy, and overall great group of guys. Jose is super helpful and they have a fast turn around time. I would recommend 10/10 to anyone. read more

I have been taking my vehicles to Hi-Tek for over 15 years. I live in south Orange County now but still drive all the way to Costa Mesa to have Raf work on my cars. He is a kind and very trustworthy person. He has worked on an old SUV that I used to have and now works on my newer Toyotas. His prices are fair and he really cares about making sure your car is fixed right. read more

Rafael and his staff are awesome! It is difficult to find a trustworthy and capable mechanic ,anywhere, but my boyfriend had a business connection with Rafael several years back and, subsequently, recommended his business to me. He and his staff are honest and trustworthy and encourage you to do your own research when it comes to labor and parts estimates with repair estimate sites online, which I appreciate. He is very open and communicative. I like the fact that he holds himself accountable! I don't get a creepy feel from his staff and no one leers or patronizes, a plus! read more

Rafael is great - very friendly and honest as can be. He never over charges me for anything - I bring all my cars to him and send all my friends his way too. Peter Newport Beach read more

so far so good... ive been there a few times for my prius and i have referred my daughter and my husband for their mercedes and he has done an outstanding job.... i will update as time goes on.... Jose is super nice and appears to be very honest. would definitely recommend. read more

From an insider's point of view (wife of mechanic with Hi-Tek), Rafael is one of the "good one's"!! Even as an employer, he gives his workers COMPLETE autonomy and TRUST in their abilities. His shop rivals that of car dealership his service and pricing are the best! I challenge anyone in need of serious repair to compare their pricing with other auto services. Mike of Hi-Tek is one of the most skilled mechanics I've ever met and LOVES to explain the details of your requested service!! Rafa ROCKS! read more

Rafael is amazing and provides extraordinary and honest service. We were in California for the weekend from Phoenix and our car was making strange noises in the morning. Rafael met us on Sunday when his shop was closed and did a thorough inspection. Thank you so much Rafael! read more

Great experience today with Hi-Tek. Brought the car in for an overheating problem, turned out to be a busted water pump. Rafael took care of it right then for an incredibly reasonable price, and was very communicative about when it would be done. He listened to my concerns about the car and did not try to tack on additional charges or unnecessary fix-ups. Additionally, he pointed out an even more dangerous situation with my front tire, which very clearly was about to blow, and he directed me to a reputable and affordable tire place just around the corner. I will definitely be a patron here again! read more

Great guy and they do good work. I'm very happy that I trusted them with my car. I have now been there multiple times and still get the same high quality service. Highly recommended Rafael was a good guy and very knowledgeable. read more

If I could give this review a 0 I would. My dad came in because he was hearing squeaky noises on his car. We went in back about 2 weeks later complaining about the noise coming from the brakes after they had replaced front pads, front rotors, rear shoes and drums. Rafael said he had taken care of the breaks. I took my car in to herbs garage and I had to replace all my brakes again due to cheap parts, and low quality. Not the won to write bad review but stay clear and save your money and spend it else where who actually know how to fix cars. read more

Rafael is great!! I came to get my brakes done and fix a problem with my car. Firstly he did a great price for me and it turned out to be a minor issue but I had no idea. Pure example of when you put your trust in your mechanic. Great service and very honest place!! Thanks guys read more

I was recommended to Rafael by a good friend who used to have a business near Hi Tek. Rafael is an honest mechanic who does quality work at a fair price. You don't get that combination at many repair shops. My Murano has been to Hi Tek several times for various repairs and it's always been a great job. Now as far as my opinion of Nissan quality, that's a different story! read more

If your unsatisfied with your current repair shop or mechanic, look no further. You will thank me later. I don't say that lightly. Rafael is the man. He is not only a highly skilled mechanic but a really nice guy. The only other thing you need to know is the most honest mechanic that I have ever met... read more

Rafael , IS the honest mechanic you would send your daughter to!

I went here based on Yelp reviews and a brief automotive accident and he got my car fixed right away. The pricing was beyond fair and everyone was friendly. I'll definitely be coming here again :) read more

My family and i have always taken our cars to this place because they were always so honest and did the jobs right and fast for a fairly good price. Till one day the key switch on my car stop working and after a couple days and more than 1k spent it was fixed ... or so we though fast forward maybe 7 months the car started having issues again with the key switch and it was progressively getting worse over the next year till one day it just didnt turn on at all, well my husband knows a guy and asks him to take a look at it , well the guy showed us the part it turns out the switch was never replaced and they just put a screw in it so that the key could turn but after it just gave it out and it just kept turning and the car would not turn on he said the screw does not belong there at all . WTH i trusted theses mechanics. Never again. read more

110% recommend this auto mechanic shop. Rafael is a great and honest mechanic. I Have been a customer for years now. Thanks Rafa!

I came in to have my brake pads replaced. I was very specific that I did not want hard, cheap pads because they are known to squeak. I told Raphael that I specifically want a soft, high quality brake pad. Now my brakes squeak every time I press on them. When I called to ask why they used a cheaper quality pad, I was told "I don't manufacture the pads" "this is what I use" Now I am questioning every product they use to repair or maintain my car. Very disappointing. read more

On relocating to California a couple years ago, I learned the state deems it necessary for a smog check before I could register my vehicle. Yay. Enter Rafael and Hi-Tek. He quickly had my vehicle inspected and ready to go. I've tried to support independent mechanics whenever possible, so decided to return here when my brakes needed to be replaced. And then they needed to be replaced again. And again. And then something else needed to be fixed. And then something else. I have spent entirely too much money at this place over the past few years, but, for the most part, I consider their service worth it to keep my vehicle up and running. Rafael also takes the time to explain repairs, recommendations, etc., inviting you to see the issues with your actual vehicle rather than simply taking his word for it. There have been a few occasions that I wasn't particularly pleased with the service 100%. The same service needing to be repeated entirely too soon. On multiple occasions. Because x or y wasn't checked. Or the wrong part was used. Or whatever. My vehicle being kept days longer than advised necessary because of problems with parts or figuring out what was wrong. Despite my frustrations at times, I commend Rafael for going out of his way each and every time to do what he could to help me out whenever possible. (And thankfully those parts/services were usually under warranty.) Earlier this year (I think?), they hired a new guy who was entirely too damned chatty while I was waiting. I initially tried to be pleasant but he would not stop. Cease & desist already. I eventually walked outside to avoid him. Otherwise, Rafael, Mike, and Rafael's children have all been pleasurable during our business interactions. Overall, I am mostly satisfied with what they have been able to do to help service my vehicle over the years. I also greatly appreciate their willingness and flexibility to provide "same day" and/or Saturday services for more routine services. read more

I am from out of town and had a power steering belt fail. Hi-Tek Auto Service and Repair was able to replace the belt and get me back on the road the very next day. Rafael(owner) and his son were awesome!! They did a great job and a more than fair price. I highly recommend Hi-Tek and won't forget them. My family thanks you for going out of your way to help us out. read more

Very happy with hi-tek auto Rafael always gives me great deals and the jobs they do on my car go above and beyond my expectations hi tek auto is my recommendation to anybody who's looking for honest and professional mechanic work read more

I'm taking time on my vacation to write this review as the service I received at Leon's was that good. Leon's was a great place to replace the transmission I had on my 2003 Honda Odyssey. The new Manager, Brent, was friendly, personable and really listened to my issue. He quickly disgnosed the problem, took care of it, kept me updated on their progress, and provided me with excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this Leon's location to anyone. Brent is wonderful. read more

Rafael is a very knowledgable mechanic. I've been coming to this shop for a little over 4 years- I wish I had known Rafael sooner! . He breaks down all information so you understand, You almost feel like your going to school! His shop service is fast and prices are fair. All staff is friendly as well. read more
