New transient here in California, I was looking for a good mechanic.. I went to the Honda Dealership I was quoted a crazy amount to pay for my breaks. A friend of a friend told me about this place and I want to make sure I get the word out. Art at IBarra Automotive in Montclair is a Godsend!! Juan did a great job as well!! You feel like youre part of the family! If your looking for a mechanic that is going to give you a fair price then come here!!! Please Note: when coming, they're in the back lot of the Montclair plaza strip.. Just follow the driveway to the back and IBarra Automotive is on the right!!! IBarra Automotive is the best place that I could've ever found! Again, if you're looking for a great place to go to get quality work please take your car here! :) read more

This has to be the worst auto repair in the area. I have an older 71 vehicle that had been sitting for years and upon checking reviews and talking with the owner thought they were reputable. They replaced the gas tank and transmission pan gasket and got it running (very poorly). When I picked up the vehicle after 2 months it was filthy, the owner was gone so I asked the employee why only half the windshield was wiped, RED FLAG! He had no response. My friend that followed me home called my cell informing that the tires were under inflated so I babied it home. I called the owner and asked him why they would release a vehicle in this condition and he blamed it on the employees and said he would speak to them. After properly inflating the tires it was detailed and looking good. Checked the fluids and the oil level was high,,WAY HIGH, 2 quarts over full! Unbelievable.!!!Tried calling the owner (Art) several times leaving messages and ended up siphoning the oil myself, lame. Two months later the transmission gasket failed and I called and texted several times again with no response. Finally I blocked my number and Art finally answered. Upon telling him the situation he said he would call me back in 10 minutes...No call, and still not answering my calls. Very unprofessional and shady, 0 stars! read more

This was my first time using Ibarra and I will definitely have them as my main mechanic shop from this point on. When I had no idea what noises my car was making they were able to diagnose it, order the parts and have it fixed ready for me to head to work that very same day. If your looking for honestly, great deals, efficient and family feel service look no further. read more

Ibarra automotive - Thanks Art!!! You got here up and running!! You have a life long customer!! Very Reasonable Prices!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Montclair, California

Had Art's guy change a wheel bearing on my Honda Accord was done quick and for very reasonable price. Art was on vacation when I called him but had it all set up within a half hour for me to go in and get the job done on a Saturday. read more

I hate to be the one to ruin his 5 star streak, and I hate that I have to leave this review because I love art as a friend, he is so sweet. However after coming here 10+ times I realized almost all the work they did to my car was half assed. He has a couple of mechanics here. The older gentleman knows what he's doing. He has a younger one who I'm not sure is fully a mechanic. I had my brakes done here. They did not turn my rotors, all they did was replace the pads when they were supposed to do everything. My brakes were still squeaking like hell. Turns out the rotors needed to be resurfaced and my back rotors were absolutely filthy. I got an oil change here. They over filled too much and I had to get it drained else where (doing of the young one, not the older gentleman). I asked him to check my master cylinder because I suspected that it was bad and couldn't 100% tell myself. He told me it was fine. Turns out the whole thing was bad, leaking consistently and ended up having to replace the whole thing. I stopped coming here but I'm really disappointed because I thought this was my go to shop. Art has amazing customer service skill and is honest and kind. However he needs to really monitor who he lets work on his customers cars. I have no hate or negative feelings, I am just disappointed. read more

Art's shop is the real deal. He bailed me out of a bad situation and got me back on the road quickly. The price was fair and there was no pushy up-selling. I will be back for all other automotive needs. I would recommend this shop to anyone read more

I took my Altima here and just did an oil change as a way to check out the service and the bussiness as a whole. They did great! I came back about 3 weeks later because my struts were failing. Art gave me a great price and he changed all 4 of them out within about 6 hours and he did it for a fantastic price. He also alerted me to a problem with my breaks that he fixed also for a great price. He showed me the bad parts when I came in to pay him. Art is great guy who goes way out of his way to take care of his customers. He is also a Christian brother and for me that is a great bonus. Please give him a try. I promise, you will be glad that you did. read more

I met Art a few weeks ago while he was promoting his auto body shop at a local gym ! We spoke for a while and at the end of our conversation he offered me a free oil change ! It was like he was readin my mind because God knew I needed one haha ! I brought my car in YESTERDAY SEPT 28, 2016 and I have nothing but PHENOMENAL things to say about this man , his partner that did my oil change and his body shop. My oil change took literally 15-20 minutes, now most places I go to will take up to two hours just to put some oil in a car . Art and his partner were very friendly , they answered all questions I had and I was overall very happy with my service!! I will definitely be bringing my friends and family back to him ! Thank you Art Ibarra !! read more

I thought I was having battery issues with my car, resulting in me calling Triple A. However, Triple A informed me that my battery was in good condition, and the issue at hand was low voltage. I called Haven Mobile 76 in Rancho Cucamonga, and they gave me an outrageous quote. Subsequently, I found Ibarra Automotive via Yelp, and thought I would give it a go as the yelp reviews were promising. I scheduled an appointment with Ibarra automotive and within ten minutes, Art, the owner, was able to diagnose the vehicle, which is a PT Cruiser. I had several problems with my vehicle, including the motor mounts, fan assembly, and alternator. Art was able to expound the complicated car jargon, so that I could understand why my car was having such issues. I was elated to encounter such an auto shop with prompt service(I was able to pick up my car the following morning upon drop-off at 4PM the previous day) at competitive rates. I highly recommend becoming a patron of this auto shop, especially since the customer service supersedes any autoshop. I could not be happier with the services provided to me at this location. I am looking forward to becoming a regular client of Art's! read more

In a world of dishonest people who only want to make money at the expense of gullible individuals, in comes an Auto Repair shop that understands your vehicle is your livelihood. Art is an incredibly friendly and humble person who is willing to work out a price and get the customer back on the road. Absolutely worth checking out if you don't have a "guy". I guarantee that Art will be the first person you'll think of when you're having car issues.after one visit. read more
