AVOID THIS SHOP -- Dishonest and Predatory I brought my 1976…read morePontiac Firebird in knowing exactly what was wrong -- a transmission accumulator O-ring leak. I told Adrian Ciejka specifically what I needed done and informed him I had already replaced the filler tube O-ring, installed a Moroso transmission pan gasket, and replaced the speedometer gear and O-ring myself. The fluid visible on the inspection cover was clearly seepage from the accumulator O-ring -- exactly what I told him before he even looked at it. Instead of listening, he claimed the filler tube was also leaking and then told me the transmission would need to be dropped and the crossmember removed just to replace the accumulator O-ring. This is factually incorrect -- the accumulator on a TH350 transmission is accessible from the outside without dropping the transmission or removing the crossmember. Either he doesn't know basic transmission repair on a common GM unit, or he was deliberately misleading me to justify a full reseal at $400+. When I declined and asked to pick up my car, he charged me $180 just to remove an inspection cover -- a 10 minute job with no upfront disclosure of the diagnostic fee and no discussion of cost before proceeding. To make it worse, I dropped the car off with the transmission fluid low and picked it up overfilled by half a quart. An overfilled transmission leaks more visibly -- a well known trick used by dishonest shops to justify expensive repairs the customer doesn't need. I paid $60 in Lyft fees to get there and back, $180 for nothing, and left with my car unrepaired and the fluid level tampered with. Classic car owners beware. This shop does not listen to the customer, fabricates unnecessary repairs, and will upsell you on work you don't need. Find someone honest who will do the job you ask for. This is not that shop.

These guys charge me thousands more than other shops would have. Brought my Ford Fusion in due to…read moremy transmission slipping. They charged me $1800 to pull the transmission and diagnose. Then telling me it would take over $5000 more to do the repair. Total repair bill was $6950. Absolutely ridiculous. After paying the initial diagnosis fee, I was stuck with them because after speaking with other transmission shops, it was gonna cost about the same at this point. I went to the shop on the advice of my normal mechanic that I trust. I did go talk to three other shops after I found out it was gonna be $7000 and the other three were competitively priced and all right at about $5000 including diagnosis. That was if it had to have every single thing rebuilt. I also found out I could've had a factory rebuilt Ford transmission installed by my normal mechanic for less money. That would've had a 3 year warranty and would've been honored at any Ford dealer. HP transmission only has a two-year warranty. They completely overcharged me. The transmission does work as it should now.

A very good friend of mine recommended that I go to fountain Valley tire and Auto, so I decided to check it out. First of all, I am normally very skeptical of trying new automotive repair prices as I have been scammed so many times. The moment I walked into this place, I immediately felt at home and part of the family. The owner talks to me about what I was looking to get done, he actually listened to me. Made suggestions and was just all around going out of his way to make this a comfortable experience. All of the work got done as promised, and more than exceeded my expectations. It's always nice to know of a good auto repair place in the area that you can recommend friends to and fountain Valley tire and Auto is now at the top of my list for that. Bottom line? If you are looking for a repair place for your car that will be fair, honest, and personable, you could do no better than going to fountain Valley tire and Auto.

I don't know much about cars, so I was really grateful my dad recommended Tony's OC Auto Service…read moreand told me they were trustworthy. He was absolutely right. My check engine light came on, so I brought my car in and found out it was my catalytic converter. Before jumping straight to the most expensive option, they first tried cleaning it out to see if that would fix the issue. Unfortunately it didn't, so about a week later I came back to have it replaced. I was really stressed because I couldn't afford the repair out of pocket, but they were incredibly helpful and told me about Technet, a credit card specifically for auto repairs. I applied and was instantly approved. They even fixed my car and waited for my card to arrive in the mail before I paid them in full. What really stood out to me was how kind and patient everyone was. They explained everything clearly, what the problem was, what caused it, and how they were going to fix it. They even paid for my Uber rides to the shop and from work while my car was in the shop, with no extra charge. It's hard to find honest and caring auto shops, especially when you don't know much about cars, but they made the whole experience so much less stressful. Whenever I need service again, I'll definitely be coming back.

Owning a Jeep usually means expensive fixes, but here I felt taken care of instead of taken advantage of. Not only is their shop super clean, but their labor and parts pricing is the best I've ever seen. Mark was especially awesome--he hooked me up with gorgeous new tires at an amazing deal. I had just left the Jeep dealership, where they tried to upsell me on something that Bear Automotive later explained would've actually hurt my engine. That kind of honesty is rare, and I'm blown away. This visit, I got new tires, differential fluids, and cabin/engine air filters. Everything was handled quickly, with real care. I can't recommend them enough--if you want trustworthy mechanics who value both your car and your wallet, this is the place to go.

After hitting unavoidable debris on the highway, our fuel tank was punctured and leaking gasoline--it was a stressful situation, especially being at home with a newborn and two other kids without a car. I never even had to step foot in the shop to get everything taken care of. I called Dave, coordinated a tow, and trusted them with the rest--and they absolutely delivered. Dave communicated with me every step of the way before any work was done, making sure I understood exactly what needed to be fixed and being completely transparent about pricing. The cost ended up being extremely reasonable, especially considering we needed a brand new fuel tank for a Cadillac Escalade ESV. What really stands out is their professionalism and attitude. Dave and his staff are always calm, respectful, and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience so much less stressful. They also worked quickly--I had my car back within just a couple of days, which is far faster than what I've experienced with other shops or dealerships. Dave Bell and his team have been our go-to for a while, but this experience truly reinforced why we'll never go anywhere else. We are incredibly grateful for their honesty, efficiency, and sense of urgency. Do yourself a favor and go to Elite Auto Care if you're looking for a reliable, honest, and trustworthy team.
