My husband usually handles the car stuff so I was grateful that I was able to bring our car here for a smog check without being pressured for extraneous services. He did let me know there was a small gasket leak but said it was not an emergency and he can handle it in the future if I'd like. Was in and out in 25 minutes for the smog check. read more

I trust him with all my family cars. Thanks Mr. Alan for take care all my family cars! read more

WOW! I am impressed!! The AC in my 2007 Honda Civic had stopped working a few weeks ago. I had seen Kool Auto's signs for sometime, saying they work on Acs so when I noticed there were no cars there this morning, I decided to pop in and check them out. Approximately 30 minutes later I am driving home in a cool, air conditioned car!! The AC relay wasn't working properly and my cabin filter was EXTREMELY dirty. Both are good now and the cost for the repair was very reasonable! Yay! Also, the waiting area was a heavily shaded garden. It was so cool and peaceful. I think I have found my new mechanic! Thank you Alan & Kool Auto Service! You totally made my day read more

My 2 tire pressure sensors were broken. Alan diagnosed and fixed the problem effectively. The price was reasonable. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but Alan deserves one! He is all about honest, quality service--no upsells, just what your car truly needs. I brought in our family-prized 1997 Jaguar for basic maintenance, and Alan worked his magic. I'm confident bringing in our other cars, knowing he has his customers' best interests at heart. Definitely reach out ahead of time since he's a one-man show... though with this level of service, that might not be the case for long! Highly recommend! read more

I found this place for my mom, but have ended up going here myself as well. Alan is the most straightforward, down-to-earth, trustworthy mechanic. He doesn't want to keep clients waiting in a queue at the shop, so he asks you to just check in with a quick call, and will give you a good time to come with your vehicle. This alone saved me a 1/2 day or overnight dropoff, which can be such a hindrance when your car needs a repair, and can leave you stranded at other auto shops. His service was fast, friendly, affordable. While I never look forward to car repairs, I now feel I have another reliable support system and would feel safe bringing any of my loved ones' vehicles to Kool Auto Service. Thanks! read more

Came back here for the oil change and smoke check for my daughter 's car today, this business was getting busier than the last time I was here. Same smiles and friendly greeting from mr Allan , the service and customer waiting room were bright and cleaned. It took me a little more than 30 minutes to wait. He double checked the car throughly before I left. He also mentioned and recommended to me what need to be done to look for. Great services. Thanks Mr Allen.

I've brought my car to Alan at Kool Auto Service many, many times. If you are looking for an honest reliable mechanic, look no further. In today's world, a mechanic like this is very rare to find.

If you're like me & you like to support local business (especially these days) but can never find a legitimate quality mechanic to support, this is your place. 100% We need more folks like this in the auto industry. Great communication. read more

My truck need brakes and Kool auto did a complete job on all four wheels. New pads, rear rotors and front discs. The next day I began to notice a vibration when applying the brakes. The hotter the brakes got the more vibration. I took it back and the owner/mechanic said the brakes where fine and the reason for the vibration was because the control arms where faulty and need to be replaced. He wanted more $$$$. I did not trust him so after two visits and trying to get him to fix the brakes that were under warranty. I went to another mechanic and explain to him what had happened. He checked it out and said the rotors and discs need to be turned. Problem fixed. I went back to KOOL and forced him to give me a refund. Mr KOOL, I was not looking for perfection I was simply looking for honesty. You say I only went back once. Let me remind you. The first time I went back I told you the brakes didn't feel right and the hotter they got the more vibration I felt on the pedal. You went with me for a test drive. When we got back you lifted the truck on the crane and did not inspect the brakes you just began moving the control arms with a crow bar and tried to convince me that there was the new problem. I returned a week later and told you that the problem was getting worse and asked you to inspect the brakes. You tried to assure me that the problem was the control arm and you said that I would have to do a realignment to get things right. That meant more $$$$. I used to work on my own cars so I know enough of when someone is lying to me. read more

Quick and polite service. I recommend calling ahead so you can find out how long your wait might be. When we called he said come in 15 mins and we were the only ones there. Really reasonable prices and this will be my second time going. Recommend! read more

I just moved to the OC and was looking for a good legit mechanic. Alan is now my new mechanic. He's honest and straight to the point. He has done an oil change and smog check on my car and so far was very efficient but also thorough (make sure you call ahead of time). I highly recommend this place! Support small businesses! read more

Brought my car in for an oil change, Allan is good at his job. It was done quickly and efficiently. I was charged half do what I usually pay at Jiffy lube and the only reason why I didn't go there is because of all the issues that are coming on the news about them. This place was great, it was at good prices and I will be a returning customer. read more

My family has been going to Kool Auto for 4-5 years. He has never let us down. He's done oil service, smog testing, and other repairs. Twice we've been in with our cars needing what others have said would be expensive repairs. Both times I expected that the repairs would be in the hundreds. Both times they turned out to be less complicated repairs. He has had the opportunity to charge us for expensive repairs but didn't. He is by far the most honest mechanic I've ever dealt with. His prices are reasonable. He is reliable. He is straightforward. I wish that all service providers followed Alan's example. I hope he stays in business for many years. read more

I took my family van here on a Saturday morning with A/C issues. Allen gave me a price and even came down some for me. He got me quality parts and had them installed and a great job done same day. Great business will be back when cars need work. read more

Other reviews seem pretty spot on. Best quote, honest, and chill guy. Knows what he's doing. Def recommend!

Very honest and professional. My father puts about 1000 miles a year if that on his vehicle. When I went in to get his oil changed, Allen informed me that the oil is very clean and to change it only once a year if not driven more than 1500 miles. Very inexpensive for the oil change as it's $20 for 4 quarts and $5 additional per quart if needed. Coming from Phoenix to visit my father, I have a new place to take his vehicle for an oil change. Thank you Allen for the great customer service and will be back. read more
