Finding a mechanic that is extremely honest and competent is like finding a gold mine! Tony has repaired our vehicles and that of a friend's quickly, and his fees are more than reasonable. To us, Tony is one in a million, and is so much appreciated. We can't thank him enough. read more

This gentleman saved me a lot of money! I came to him for a second opinion after I paid $200 for an inspection from another highly rated spot in town. He made time to look at my car and gave me an honest assessment of what was truthfully needed without the sales pitch. If you're looking for an honest and highly competent mechanic you found him! read more

This shop is owned and operated by Antonio Lopez. I called ahead to see if Antonio could do a pre purchase inspection on my Prius I was planning to buy. He came in after his shop closed to help me out since I was coming from the Bay Area. He was very helpful and informative, he told the sellers of the car (who he sort of knew) that he was going to be honest and fair since I was the one buying the car. Antonio really came through for me and made me feel like buying the car was zero hassle. If you need a mechanic, please go to the guy. He is the best and very honest. Thanks Lopez Automotive! read more

Tony was able to diagnose and correct an issue with our vehicle in record time at a price that didn't break the bank. You should trust Tony with all your repairs read more

Tony has been my main mechanic for a long time. Since then he showed me more about cars than anyone else. My family always happy with him because our cars are taking care of with kindness and he takes care of business too. I haven't had a problem he couldn't fix. I know I can walk inside his shop being stress free. Monica. read more

Brought in my used RV to Tony. It overheated a mere 6.8 miles from home and my other mechanic wasn't picking up his phone. I was desperate as I hadn't been camping since last winter and with the ridiculous heat, and work, stress, etc., I HAD to get away to the coast. He agreed to give my temperamental rig a go. Some of its problems were (are) sporadic and not easy to find based on a mad woman's descriptions and faulty memory. He drove it several times far enough to recreate the issue and found success in serious test drives, rather than up and down the street. Got me back out there!! He's knowledgeable, personable, does his research, professional, and got the job done quicker than anticipated. Thank you, Tony! read more

Super thankful that they were open and available to help me when no one was able to! It was a Saturday morning when I scoured Ukiah for anyone to help me identify why my car was shuddering and they were the only one open. Not only that but they were very thorough and helped me identify and treat the problem and rule out any other possible causes. If I ever get in trouble in the area again, I know where to go. read more

Came in for a headlights fix and did it really quick with great price! Highly recommended

Friendly service and affordable. Tony was super helpful and fixed my car ce try quickly.

I'm new to town and needed a trust worthy mechanic to do some brake work on my vehicle. As a young woman, I knew I had to do my research before walking into any shop. I called a few places and ultimately I went to Lopez Automotive. Not only was Tony honest, he showed me and educated me along the way. I saw him install the brand new parts in front of me. Aside from his hardworking ethics, he also was an overall great person to get to know as he worked in my vehicle. Tony's shop is well organized and provided me with a receipt on exactly what he worked on. I didn't--in any moment-- feel Tony overcharge me or question his service. I am happy to say I have found my mechanic to go to in town. 10/10 recommend! read more

So friendly honest and very affordable. Thanks for your help with my poor car. I believe they do most models.

I was camping nearby and my truck overheated on the way. They took the time to look at it, but couldn't recreate the problem without a drive with the trailer hooked up. They gave me great advice and made some suggestions about what to do on the road home. They were a blessing and we made it home safely with no problem. read more

Good service reasonable prices car is always in better condition after being serviced here

I've had my Subaru outback worked on here for several years and they are always incredibly fair priced and pleasant to work with. They take the time to listen to the problem and explain the procedures. Fantastic service at a great price!! read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience! We ran into car troubles while traveling, and Tony dropped what he was doing to immediately fix our problem. By the time we were finished eating lunch, the issue was resolved and everything was running smoothly again. Very fair prices, very efficient service, and very kind staff. We highly recommend coming here! read more

On Memorial Day evening, I had the car loaded up with a bunch of stuff including two kids ready to drive back home, I turned the key and 'chug, chug, chug'. No way it was going anywhere. I called Tony, he was the only mechanic I called who picked up. He said. 'no problem' have it towed here and we'll get it going. So, that's what I did. He had the part ordered the next morning (fuel pump), and had it ready to go in the afternoon. BUT, at that point I was stranded an hour away with no taxi service anywhere. He offered to come get me, which he did, and we were on the road that evening. Tony saved the day. Amazing! Tony is a great mechanic and an even greater guy! Highly recommended! read more

A few weeks ago the horn on my 2013 Ford Focus wasn't working. Being new to the area I didn't know any good, trustworthy mechanics, but I decided to go to Lopez Automotive because of the solid reviews. Tony was able to diagnose the problem relatively quickly and fixed my cars electrical problem and even went as far as to wash my car windows as well. I plan on going back to Lopez Automotive for any automotive maintenance needs for three reasons. 1. Quality customer service. 2. Reasonable pricing. 3. Excellent Craftsmanship. read more

Waited 30 min for someonw to open up , until I called the number, some lady answered said no entiendo, then hung up.

I have used Tony's services at Lopez Automotive twice now. This time it was for my Ford E-150. It's a work Van and I drive it relentlessly. I dropped it off at Tony's shop before Christmas vacation. By the time I got back he had located and fixed major break, axle and suspension problems. Issues that had only manifested by by a light hum at 50 mph. It was a lot of work and potentially a lot of money in parts as well. But not so. One of the things I really like about Tony's service is that he searches for the best deal in parts. Really searches. Helps out when you get the bill, for sure. Tony is honest, does good work and I wouldn't go to anyone else in Ukiah. read more

Tony Lopez saved me from a potentially serious situation on a weekend! I was headed north on 101 last weekend and when I got past Ukiah the temperature gauge suddenly shot up above the H! I know that's not a good thing at all. I got on Yelp and saw that Tony's shop was open on Saturday and limped back to Ukiah. He was very patient with me and very professional in diagnosing the situation. It turned out to be a tiny fracture in my radiator that was immune to the hills of San Francisco but apparently not to a 10-mile uphill drive in 100F weather. He was able to get things cooled down enough for me to safely get back to SF. I know it was a weekend and right at the tail end of his hours, but I am very grateful for his help and patience with me. If you are in Ukiah or passing through and need car help, please go to him! read more

Tony is not only an awesome mechanic, he's just an all around amazing guy! Super fun to talk to! My car broke down in the middle of nowhere and we got ourselves towed to his shop because of all the great reviews, and he did not disappoint. He got my poor car fixed up for a reasonable price and ready in no time, which we really appreciated since we were stranded in Ukiah for the weekend. He even showed us our old parts, explained what happened to the car that made it broke down, and how to prevent that in the future. If he was in San Francisco, he would be my go to mechanic for sure. Lots of love for the guy! read more

Was very happy with the service I was provided with. One morning I was driving to work and all of a sudden I smell something burning a bit and see a bit of white smoke. I immediately go on yelp and look for a mechanic since I'm new to the area. I see all the great reviews for this mechanic and totally understand why now. I called and was told I could bring the car in right away. That was a very pleasant surprise. I brought it in and was told there was a coolant leak. Mr Lopez got it fixed the same day at a reasonable price and I left happy. read more

Borrowed my brother's truck and it broke down. I really didn't want to have to front the costs of a repair. Lopez let me know the nature of the needed repair: potentially expensive but not urgent. I was able to get home and let my brother sort out any repairs. I really appreciated Lopez' honesty. He was upfront about all the potential sources of my issue and the potential cost range. If I should end up in the area again with a car issue he will be the first I call. read more

We were on a trip to the redwoods to enjoy the summer and our car was acting up. Thanks too Tony for One answering the phone and then second being available to look at it. Then we drove over and he welcome us with open arms took a look then after sometime he called us with good news and we got back on our way. If I lived closer he would be our go to guy. Very trustworthy and nice over all guy. He also speaks Spanish wish is a plus. And his bathroom is clean ladies. read more

I took my 86 nissan pick up here after it broke down in Ukiah. Turns out one of the previous owners got very creative with the wiring. Antonio got me in right away even though he had other projects he troubleshot diagnosed and fixed my truck very quickly and let me watch so I learned a lot too. Honest friendly and very willing to help. Thanks Mr. Lopez read more

Tony helped us out when we stopped in without an appointment to look at a carburetor issue my 84 landcruiser was experiencing on our road trip to Montana. He diagnosed the issue and gave us sound advice to keep going. He's one of the kindest and most knowledgeable auto technicians I've ever met and I'll continue to use him even while living 100 miles away from his shop. He's genuine and top notch. read more

I was very unhappy with m'y service from the owner i asked him To service the transmission which he basically refusés To do. He asked me what was the priority i told him To service the transmission he instead did à diagnostic charges me 94.00 for 15 min of coding which i didnt ask for and never completed the service i asked for. I felt very undervalued as à paying customer i would never refer anybody To this mechanic. Very poor customer service and proffessionalism.no stars would be an appropriate rating for this company. read more

Horrible customer service. Man on the phone angrily yelled at me that he was too busy to answer my question. My business is obviously not wanted by Lopez. Much more reputable and friendly automotive shops around the Ukiah area. read more

Misfiring engine on a long road trip. Lopez Automotive took care of the problem fast! I'd return if I'm ever in Ukiah again. Thanks!

Tony from Lopez Automotive helped us in a bind! After our van had accidentally been fueled with unleaded gas for a Diesel engine, we had no choice than to get it towed to the closest mechanic we could find that would drain the fuel. Tony was kind enough to take on a 3 hour project that came in right at the end of his day. He promptly managed get the van up on the lift, and moved quickly to get it done. Tony is knowledgeable and WANTS to help you! Thanks again Tony for taking care of us. We really appreciate it! read more

Tony always provided excellent work on my vehicles throughout the years he's been in business. I been having my vehicles serviced by Tony since he opened his business. I now live in the bay area but I still have my vehicles serviced by Lopez Automotive because I know Tony is an honest person that does quality work and I highly recommend his service for anyone looking to have their vehicle serviced. I have also recommended Lopez Automotive to my bay area friends. read more

Tony is a knowledgeable and skilled mechanic. Several times, I have brought my car to him with tricky issues ranging from pesky electrical problems to needing a new motor mounts/clutch/etc. HIs prices are fair and he gets work done quickly and listens carefully to his customers needs and auto problems. I'm someone who likes to work on my own car and he is more than happy to explain things in detail and go over his work thoroughly. I will continue using Tony as my mechanic in the future. read more

Tony totally saved our trip! Our old van developed a loud squeal in the front left wheel near Garberville. We were thinking maybe a bearing... but just try and find a mechanic open on a Saturday! Forget it! Drove to and called many, absolutely no joy. FINALLY, I see Lopez Auto in my search in Ukiah and he has very high reviews...and now I know why for myself!! Tony does the test drive and then takes the wheel off. Mind you, he is about to close in 30 minutes. He quickly determines it to be an anti slip clip that has broken off and is scraping up the rotor. He orders the new clip and has it installed within an hour, and we are ecstatic! And that's not all, on the test drive, he diagnosed at least three other pesky issues for future consideration. And finally, get this, he polishes the windshield and even razors off a sap spot!! And lubes the door locks and hinges!! I tell you, I am already engineering a way to come back from Coos Bay just to let Tony get this van totally up to his standards. He got us on road worthy quickly and with peace of mind, which is worth ever so much. Tony goes far above and beyond the call of duty and at a fair price. I am supremely impressed. If only everyone would be half as diligent, honest, and hardworking as Tony, the world would be a better place. What favor to find him! read more

Beware, get a second opinion. Its not that Tony charges more per hour than an average mechanic, its that he quotes extremely high hours. I live fairly close to lopez automotive so ive been there twice. Tony is definitely friendly, and he found the source of the oil leak quickly but he quoted me 600 more dollars than the second mechanic I brought my car to. The second time I went to see him it was to get my computers error code read. He tried to charge me 45 dollars, I went around the street and the next mechanic charged nothing... read more

Horrible service NOT friendly Lopez is all ways in a bad mood, and expensive. DO NOT RECOMMENDED read more

Tony did a good job diagnosing and fixing my problem with my Toyota. He was able to do it on a Saturday in a reasonable amount of time. He is a knowledgeable, experienced, solid mechanic. He was pleasant and polite. read more

On a recent trip to the Avenue of the Giants, our van started to shake and loud noise coming from the hood. This was not the way we had imagined our little family vacation would start. We were in Ukiah and looked around for an auto parts shop, but realized I didn't have my tools, as I had suspected it might be a bad spark plug. We found Lopez automotive and decided to bring it in. They weren't the easiest to find, as it is in the side of a side of a narrow street. Mr. Lopez was professional and kind. He told me to back the van up, so he can move a vehicle and we can pull in. He took the time from his busy schedule, as there were about 4 vehicles under repair at his shop. Mr. Lopez removed the cover of our Volkswagen eurovan and checked too see if it was a bad spark plug, upon testing he didn't believe it was the case. He checked the fans and found that both the fans had broken blades. Ouch!!! He attempted to locate a part but was unsuccessful. He gave us some advise as we left. Mr. Lopez didn't have to do all this, especially when he already had so much to do. I guess coming from a big city, I've forgotten the kindness of a smaller town and the people who live and work there. Thank you Mr. Lopez for your graciousness and hospitality. It was refreshing to know there are people out there who still know the meaning of neighborly. read more
