    Pro Auto Care Smog and Repair - Oil change time!

    Pro Auto Care Smog and Repair

    (36 reviews)

    Am waiting to get my oil change (normally no wait when I get there at opening 8am but forgot today…read moreand didn't get there until 9am on a Monday). I love that Tom doesn't try to upsell me. He starts the car and says I don't need to get an oil change because the light didn't come on yet. I corrected him and said no, telling him the "maintenance required soon" light shows up. i said that as he saw that onscreen and said oh okay then! (I also write down the miles to know). Regardless it's nice he doesn't just do things to charge. Also nice he remembers who I am. Last year I came for an oil change 6 months after my smog check and the first thing he said was, "you were just here for a smog check right?" He sees people all day and remembered what he did on my car the first minute of talking to me when I got there I thought that was pretty funny. Today he began with "hello con gái đẹp" which just cracks me up (you, sir, get 5 stars for the chipper Monday attitude) Overall quick, good service at a reasonable price point that cannot be beat.

    I needed to smog my vehicle for a title transfer and my original place that I go to was closed on…read moreTuesday. So I looked up smog places on Yelp and this location popped up closest to where I was. I called this shop up, spoke to a very nice and caring lady. She was very thorough and thoughtful, she looked up the vehicle's past smog history to make sure it'll pass so as to not waste my money if it had prior failures. Everything checked out with the smog history, she told me to swing by and they can do it in less than 10 minutes. Looks like a small mom and pop repair/smog shop. They hooked my vehicle up ran the test and I was out of there in 10 minutes. I love that they were kind, honest, and went out of their way to help me and provide me with useful information. She honestly was very motherly, it's hard to find truthful and honest repair places these days. Depending on the year and vehicle type is how they determine the cost of the test. The price on my vehicle was unbeatable because I had called several locations close to the area and this shop came out on top! I'm definitely going to come here for all my smog checks! I highly recommend this place!

    I came in with my tailgate literally hanging on by a few wires, completely stressed about how much…read moreit might cost and whether I was simply screwed. Francisco not only reattached it, he also went ahead and tested my truck for free to make sure it could pass the smog check I needed for the DMV. He did a series of tests to see what was working and anything that may become an issue in the future, just for my knowledge. He also pulled my CarFax report for free without me even inquiring! He took the time to explain how my tailgate and its different components worked, even printing out a diagram for me so I could clearly understand my options. We discussed ways to prevent my tailgate from being tampered with or stolen in the future, and he explained what would be my best options based on safety, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. He took time after I had already left to research the right parts that would achieve what I wanted without unnecessarily driving up the cost. It's the behind the scenes work like this that I appreciate the most. His recommendations were confident and knowledgeable, but I never once felt pressured. For example, Francisco let me know that I needed an oil change, but he never tried to push me into getting one that day. He understood that my immediate concern was the tailgate, and he respected that. I was actually the one who asked whether he performed oil changes. Suffice it to say, I'll be skipping Valvoline this time and bringing my truck back to Francisco and Pearl. Pearl made sure I was comfortable while I waited and offered me full bottles of either cold or room-temperature water. That may sound like a small detail, but it meant so much more than meets the eye. Those thoughtful touches are what separate businesses that genuinely care about their customers from places that make you feel like just another person in an assembly line of others who need help too. Pearl is such a warm, personable person, and making conversation with her was genuinely lovely. I'm currently in a tight spot financially, and both Francisco and Pearl were sensitive to that without ever making me feel embarrassed or treating me differently. I never felt like a dollar sign. I was treated with dignity and given the same time, care, and respect as anyone else who walked through the door. As a woman, I've experienced a sexist gap in how I'm treated when dealing with automotive work. I've had unnecessary services pushed on me, been ignored when asking questions, or been made to feel like I shouldn't try to understand what was being done to my truck. That was absolutely not my experience here. Francisco explained everything clearly, answered my questions, and made sure I understood my choices. It's impossible not to feel safe and taken care of when he is working on your vehicle and walking you through your options. When I recently noticed a problem with my radio, I immediately called FNP to ask whether Francisco could look at it when I return to have a safety guard installed on my tailgate. He added it to my notes, and now I can let go of that worry knowing he'll examine it and tell me honestly what the best next step is. Their administrative workflow has been perfected to allow for notes like this, quotes being sent and accepted/denied, etc. The process is smooth, start to finish. I have never had a better experience with an auto repair shop. Francisco and Pearl truly went above and beyond. Trust me: you will not regret going to FNP. These are exactly the kind of people and small businesses worth supporting, and I plan to be a customer of theirs for a very long time.

    Got hit in a hit-and-run and my side mirror was completely done. Decided to pay out of pocket…read moreinstead of going through insurance and started looking around. FNP Auto reached out in under 5 minutes. Francisco handled everything right. Clear communication, no guessing, no runaround. Broke down parts, labor, and timing so I knew exactly what was happening. Pulled up right before closing around 5:30 PM and was still taken care of without any rush. Hit happened Tuesday. Found them the same day. Parts came in Friday. Dropped the car off at 1:30pm and it was done by around 5pm. Fast, efficient, and professional. Appreciate the work. Would recommend.

    Jesse is the reason my cat is alive…read more Last weekend, during the Garden Grove toxic chemical evacuation, my tuxedo cat decided that the undercarriage of my cousin's Tesla Model Y was a great hiding spot. It was not. He was wedged in there for 12 hours with no food, no water, and zero litter box access. He was absolutely losing it. I ran through every option. Fire department? Busy with the actual chemical explosion rattling all of OC, fair. Animal control? Ghosted me. My cousin, currently out of the country, tried Tesla Roadside Assistance through the app. Tesla's answer: their technicians are not trained to rescue animals. Noted, but deeply unhelpful in the moment. Two other mechanics passed too. Jesse was my third Yelp attempt and my last real option. He showed up within two hours, no fuss, and got straight to work. He tried everything - the frunk, underneath, removing the right wheel - methodically working different angles for an hour and a half because my cat had chosen the most inconvenient possible position to be chonky in. Jesse stayed patient the entire time and got him out safely. My cat is home. He is fine. He is completely unbothered, as cats are. Jesse showed up when nobody else could. That is not something I will forget. Oh, and his prices are insanely reasonable. If you need a mechanic who will actually show up and problem-solve, Jesse is your guy.

    I paid Jesse $120 toward motorcycle service, and apparently accepting payment was the only part of…read morethe job he was interested in completing. I had ordered a part and was waiting for it to arrive, so about a month passed. During that entire time, Jesse never contacted me to ask whether the part had arrived or to follow up on the work I had already paid him to do. I eventually had to reach out to him myself. Over the following three weeks, I sent multiple text messages and called several times, all of which were ignored. After getting nowhere, I called from a different number--and suddenly Jesse answered. His excuse was that he had been "busy." I asked him to send me my money back and he hung up and blocked my number. In total, nearly two months passed after he took my money with no communication, no follow-up, and no attempt to complete the service. Being busy may explain a delayed response. It does not explain ignoring a paying customer for over two months while continuing to keep their money. That is not poor time management; it is poor business practice. There was an $80 diagnostic fee, so technically I am only out $40. Financially, it is not a huge loss. Professionally, however, it says everything I need to know about this business. A reputable business does not take payment, fail to complete the agreed-upon service, ignore every attempt at communication, and then offer excuses only after being reached from a number it does not recognize. The motorcycle needed a diagnosis, but the bigger problem turned out to be the business itself: unreliable, unresponsive, and completely lacking in accountability. I would not trust Jesse with my motorcycle again, and I certainly would not recommend paying him anything upfront.
