If I could give a 1/2 star I would just because they were open for business. I just had a crappy experience with these guy's HUB Auto/NAPA. Been going to HUB SINCE THE 70'S, NO LONGER!!! BUYERS BEWARE!!!!! I bought a sensor today, took it too my mechanic and it didn't work, took it back and they said no refund on electronic stuff, you buy it you own it! That's not the store I grew up with, of course HUB Auto took back items that didn't work, not now, corporate GIANT'S and peon employee's don't care anymore. Guess what, stupid me for buying a Chinese crap product from a retail GIANT who doesn't give a crap!!!!! See photos! read more

Hub Auto Supply - Chinese crap sensor - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

See all

They have hours when everyone is working. I usually have to go to a farther auto store to get stuff. read more

By far best auto supply store I've ever went to!!! They had the parts I needed for a competitive price. Not to mention they let me keep my broken down car here for a few days and said they wouldn't tow it. Honestly supporting small businesses like these are what help keep the world go round. With competitive prices like this no one should be going anywhere else!!! read more

It's a Napa now. Nice and new inside, but just a regular Napa, not old school like Hub was.

Sold me a faulty Alternator which is under warranty and would not return it/ basically lost a total of $500 with part and labor. Never again. Hopefully there is someone I can report this too. read more

Completely rude staff. I would not come here at any costs. Go somewhere reputable with a national presence.

Both Matt and Rigo were wonderful and so helpful. I would highly recommend this place for efficiency and customer service. Two older ladies in "tail light distress"" they came to the rescue!! Thanks so much!!! read more

Excellent service and low prices. I was searching for a radiator to an older vehicle, although they weren't able to get me the part through their network, Matt took the time to help me with my search and located the part with a different vendor, and got me all the other parts for a low price lower then online. Thanks!!! read more

I have been working on my own cars for years and I am also a hobbyist. I have my specialty cars and then my family's so visiting parts stores is a part of my deal. These guys are absolutely excellent, there's nothing they don't have or can't get quickly. Extremely knowledgeable and always a pleasure to work with especially on specialty orders. read more

Incredible!! This place was recommended to me as I needed a bearing puller desperately. Not sure if I was more impressed with the helpful employees or the massive selection of tools. read more

Vince at Hub Auto Supply was the man!! Had a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado being painted down the street at Maaco Costa Mesa, and replaced the fuel pump with Vince in minutes! Even got a few good YouTube mechanics to look up! Supremely Satisfied!! Thanks Hub Auto Supply! read more

Are you the kind of person who gets excited about an auto parts store? Yeah, me neither. I just want what I need when I want it for a fair price. I had called them for a left inner door handle for my Corolla. They said that they could get it the next day. I was still shopping around so I didn't ask them to order it. I stopped by yesterday to see if they happened to have it. They didn't, but they placed an order and got it within the hour! How's that? Wait, there's more! The part was cheaper than what the chain auto parts stores were selling it for. Let's review: - Good selection - If they don't have the exact part that you need, they can get it fast - Good service - Independent operation - Cheaper than the chain stores When you need a part for your car, call Hub. read more

This is the best auto supply in the Costa Mesa area, hands down. And I have yet to find a better one anywhere. The guys at the counter are really helpful. If they don't have a part or tool (which is rare), you either REALLY don't need it or they have a good handle on where to find it. Have gotten various obscure components here, including the power window assembly for a Dodge Caravan. Price was equal to what I would have paid going through the internet. It was also correct (try that with the internet) and I didn't have to wait for a week. This is my go to place if I need a part quickly and at a reasonable price. read more

My former Los Angeles Fire Captain neighbor told me about Hub Auto Supply for years but it's been hard to give up the lifetime warranty offered by other auto parts retailers. I recently learned my lesson the hard way when my Lexus rack and pinion failed. The lifetime warranty remanufactured product from a major auto parts retailer failed twice within a few weeks of each other. I'm sure this was an isolated incident but I decided to trust Hub's recommendation and purchased a Maval rack and pinion, a quality product made with care in the USA. They also recommended the Moog outer tie rod ends. The Maval rack and pinion performs incredibly well to the exact OEM specifications. The Moog outer tie rods are built extremely well and very reliable. These are very high quality brands not offered by most chain retailers. Thank you for carrying excellent, high end, quality and reliable automotive products. My Lexus steers so much smoother and I am confident the parts will last for several years. Hub also has experts with tons of knowledge. I would like to thank Vince for guiding me in the right direction and Matt for a great place to shop. read more

Hub Auto Supply - Vince, you're awesome 😎 Thank you for my beautiful super quality Maval rack and pinion for my Lexus LS. - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Great place to shop for auto parts. Great customer services. Know what you are talking about car wise and sell you quality parts. Better than other stores. read more

$160 just for a foot of rubber hose....... One of the most overprice stores I've ever been to

Skip the crap parts and confused clerks at oriellys or autozone. These guys know what they are talking about. They have got me e dry part i needed, and more. And when i needed bolts, they sized them for me and got them. This place gets vehicles back on the road with the correct and often cheaper and higher quality parts. read more

I run a auto repair facility in Huntington Beach and we have been buying from HUB for over 40 years. Everyone makes a mistake, it's how you stand up afterwards that separates you from everyone else (not saying they make many mistakes). They have always gone above and beyond to help us. The reason I'm writing a review today is because Vince called me back about some parts we bought from someone else due to pricing. He let me know they had another avenue to use in the future to be more competitive where we can both make a profit while delivering the customer quality parts more affordably (GOD knows i'm not rich either). Matt, Sam & the crew have always worked hard for us but what Vince did really impressed me. Good job everyone and keep it up. read more

Bottom line it's the go to auto parts store period they know what's up from A To Z great prices good service what else can you ask for

What can I say, other than to highly recommend this auto parts store. It doesn't matter that I happen to be an older woman. I believe these associates would treat me fairly, regardless of my age or gender, but I am pleased to say I was treated extremely well here, and it was unexpected. I visited this store to purchase windshield wipers. Alan responded immediately and even installed my new wipers without asking - NO EXTRA CHARGE! This type of service, the right part, installed, without a "song and dance" is almost impossible to find today. I can comfortably say I will not be shopping for anything auto, elsewhere. Thank you, Alan, for your time and customer concern... read more

I *heart* Hub! This place is a life-saver and the guys in there are Sweethearts! I just bought a new (used) car and found out the brakes and rotors need replacing, so I'm calling all the regular shops getting quotes and decided the nails and manicure are only $40.00 (which is cheap compared to the brake job) the flippin brakes are wicked expensive so it's time to forget the nails for a bit and get back to being a DO IT YOURSELF kinda gal and use my auto mechanics knowledge from Job Corps. So, after getting everywhere from $300 to 400.00 in quotes at the mechanic shops, I called Hub....... got a great price on parts AND Sam was amazingly helpful in getting me the right part THE FIRST TIME! I know there's 'mark-up' everywhere but WE ARE IN A RECESSION and this place is FAIR priced, employees have FRIENDLY attitudes AND have FANTASTIC customer service! This is my 6th vehicle and I live close to Hub but I'd make the drive if I lived further away, in all the years I've had to go to Hub and get parts = I've yet to be disappointed .......::: big smile...... and an FYI to the 'slim jim' guy post below, those are ILLEGAL to have in California unless you are a tow/service-truck driver ....... so not sure what you got but an AAA Membership would have saved your butt, your door and your screw drivers - Just sayin ;) Thank you Sam!!!!!! and all the guys there that have helped me through the years - from the Chrysler New Yorker, RAV4, Saturn, Durango, Taurus and now the Mustang...... I'll be back and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU read more

I have always had good luck finding parts here. Now that auto parts stores are few and far in between, this is my go-to place. If they don't have what you are looking for they can often order it for you. I needed wiper blades for my MB300 and they got it for me at a fraction of the dealer's price - genuine item to boot. read more

This place never let's me down, not only they have really good prices but they honestly have the best customer service!! They greet you as soon as you come in and they ask if you need help. The price of a car batterie is very affordable and they have a lot better guaranty than the other shops. I just bought a whipper for my car right now and it was RAINING and the guy who I should of gotten his name (sorry) came out and make sure I had the right whipper for my car and not only that HE PUT IT ON HIMSELF!!! Autozone or o'reilly auto parts will definitely not do that! 5 stars for this place hands down!!! read more

Here's a quarter for the Clue Bus! This is a great place, doing great business. Prices are always excellent and the guys who work there are awesome! read more

Great place with knowledgeable staff. They take the time to get you the right part and correct any mixup

A great old school auto supply store, employees know their shit here! When no one else has the part you need in stock this shop usually does. read more

Always exceptional service! I am so glad this is on the way to and from work every time! I needed new windshield wipers and they were very patient with all my questions and installed mine for free! Thank you so much! read more

Damn... was hoping to be the first to review... Anyways my situation is similar to Tony's ^^^ I had locked my keys in my car and did not want to spend $60 on AAA to come open my door... so I called around a few places looking for a "Slim Jim" Slim Jim = the tool used to unlock the door when your keys are stuck inside. Anyways, found Hub on random "Auto Parts" search on Google. Called them, asked if they had it, they had one left for $1.99. I was very very excited thinking that I could get my car door open for $2. So I get the tool (knowing nothing about opening doors) and try to open my door. The notches on the slim jim are sooooooooo small it makes it virtually impossible to find the latch to unlock the door. I watched numerous videos on youtube to see how to do it and their Slim Jims looked nothing like the one I had. They had big grooves/notches which made it easier to find and hook the latch. Anyways.. 2 hours later I had to pry open my door with several screwdrivers... all in all the slim jim was worthless. read more

Great customer service! I needed windshield wipers special ordered and they came in the next day!

I have been going to Hub for 20 years and I am always surprised how many times the prices are less than Auto zone and Orielly's. The staff will work with you on hard to find parts and since I only work on Classic cars, they spend the time to find what you need and most of the time if they don't have the part they will get it for you in the matter of a few hours. This is always my go to place for auto parts. Super friendly staff great prices and awesome management make the right combination. read more

I've been here a few times just to price out a couple of parts on my car. I was looking for brake pads for a Hyundai accent, I got the pads and was on my way. Come to find out those pads were wrong after I took apart the caliper. I took them back and they said those are the ones that your car calls for, obviously they are not the right ones if they don't even look like the old ones! Long story short they didn't seem to really want to help me find the right ones, so I returned them and went to autozone down the street (autozone found the right pads for my car the 1st time). If you want to go to a small, dated and questionable auto parts store then hub auto supply is the right place for you! I for one will never return. read more

Wow! This is a true auto parts store! I needed a seal for the transfer case on my Jeep Wrangler. Because I have a aftermarket slip yoke eliminator kit installed no one knows what the replacement seal would be. I called all the big 4x4 shops, no help, went into a autozone and if they can't just look up the year, make and model they can't help. I started calling transmission shops and a owner at one said to call Hub auto in CM if anyone can help, it will be them. Went there with the old seal in hand. The guy at the counter took out some calipers and took some measurements, looked in a book to cross-referenced all the makes and models with the same measurements, typed in the computer the six that matched and they had one in stock. This is my kind of shop! It has been years since I have met anyone in the auto industry who is capable like this. Thank you! read more

The best auto parts store around. Every employee is helpful and willing to do what it takes to get you the auto parts you need! Their selection of parts is almost unfathomable and they have pretty much whatever you need or will give recommendations on where to find the part if they don't have it (which is extremely rare). Matt is knowledgeable and very customer-friendly, Vince has gone above and beyond to help find matching parts, Sam is personable and knows his automotive products, and Alan is helpful, quick, and reliable. Every person I talk to has a fantastic attitude and answers all my questions with ease. What else would I need? Great place to shop, great place to ask questions, great products. Hub Auto Supply is awesome! read more

Have been coming here for years. I always talk to sam. Sam is very knowledgeable about all different kinds of cars. He gets the right part the first time. I believe he has been working there a very long time and I can see why. Hub auto supply is very lucky to have him as an employee. read more

A good old fashion auto parts store. We need more like them

An old-school auto parts store with fair prices and helpful counter people. They came through with generic (non-BMW-branded) bulbs for my Z3 instrument display and OEM spark plugs for a Saab turbo. And they had old-fashioned feeler gauges when other places didn't even know what I was talking about. I have other, closer, options like Pep Boys, Kragen, etc but it seems Hub saves my butt time after time. Always my first call now. read more

I've lived in Newport Beach since 1965 and for as long as I can remember Hub has been my auto supply store. They are very car knowledgeable and if you have time to work on your car, why pay a repair shop $120 + an hour when Allen at Hub will guide you? Drive your car into their parking lot, walk in and tell them what you think you need, they may walk out to your car with you to take a look and you'll get an honest answer recommendation and great prices. read more

I came here to pick up a part for my car and they charged me $55.00 for it. Every place on the internet has the same part for $14.00, but I needed it then in an emergency. I feel taken advantage of and will not go back to this place. read more
