    Quality work, fair pricing. Sam is great at explaining what is going on and not trying to upsell unnecessary work.

    Finding a good mechanic is hard but finding a good mechanic that is also honest like Sam is even harder.

I have always taken my vehicles to dealership but they've always treated me poorly and the last time absolutely disrespected me. It's been a pattern. These men and woman treated me extremely well. They kept me informed and found the issue pretty quickly ( unlike local Ford). The cost out the door was IMO VERY reasonable. I love this shop and the people here are absolutely amazing professionals. I'm going to use only Orozco's from now on and I highly recommend them to everyone I know

    Hey there, curious Yelper, I'm happy to say this is the best auto service shop around. Orozco's…read morewasn't my first choice; I have a 1984 Toyota Van, you see, and I live in Eagle Rock, so I hadn't even heard of them. I had a very complicated electrical problem, and Orozco didn't hesitate to take the time to solve the issue. I met with the mechanic working on the van; he was familiar with older Toyotas and was able to point out the issue with just a pre-work inspection. I must also say that although it took them longer than we had initially agreed to, they were more than willing to stick to the prior deal, and I was not charged. I am going to be bringing my 2002 Subaru Forester Sport Utility to them to get some kinks out that I'm experiencing. I now have a favorite mechanic, who's fast, honest, and friendly! No matter how far away you are, Orozcos is worth your time, and I can guarantee that after speaking with a few of the mechanics and being in constant communication with the managers, your car will be in the best of hands. Thank you, Orozcos! Cheers, Odinn

    Sal is a very kind man. A friend took me here for a pre purchase vehicle inspection. Luckily I…read moredodged a major financial mistake due to Sal letting me know this was not the car for me. He was patient and explained all the reasons that despite it "looking good" there would be repairs needed that would end up costing me more than the price to purchase. He then referred me to an outstanding dealership (California Auto Resources) and told me to speak with Bill. I'm now happily driving my new/used car and most of all have 2 places I feel safe to trust with advice and repairs. It's so cool in these difficult times to find businesses that are run by honest good people who are trying to help you. Thanks Sal, much appreciation for you! :)

I would give this establishment negative 5 stars

    Used Yelp's business finder to get a few quotes for my two non-working low beam headlights, and…read morethis shop stood out right away. They responded quickly, were courteous, and didn't try to tack on a diagnostic fee just to take a look. When I dropped off the car, the technician walked me through their process, starting with the bulbs before moving into any potential electrical issues (which I really appreciated.) It ended up being the simplest fix: both bulbs were burned out. They had everything replaced within a few hours. Fair pricing, clear communication, and no upselling. I'll definitely be back for future repairs. Side note- they have the cutest shop kitten. ‍

    I had been here once before and had a great experience, so when my car's AT light went on…read moreunexpectedly one night I called them first thing the next morning to see if they could get it in. They said they could and gave me a timeline for working on the vehicle that matched my needs. While I appreciate them getting me in on short notice, they consistently over-promised and under-delivered on when they would be able to work on my vehicle. They were able to diagnose a couple of leaks that they thought were the problem and sent me photos to show me what they were looking at. In the past when I've left my car at this shop for work they sent over a detailed estimate before starting the work, but this time I only received the verbal estimate over the phone. I drive an old car, which isn't worth much, and I did let the person know that I wasn't interested in investing more in repairs than the vehicle is worth. As it was, the two leaks were just over $1K to fix, and I OK'd the work to begin. After fixing the first two leaks, they then came back and told me there was a third leak, which would require a more major repair to the transmission and they would have to have their transmission person (who wasn't there that weekend) send me an estimate the next day. While I understand that it's plausible that the third leak wasn't something they could have originally diagnosed, it felt a bit weird that the photo they used to show me the leak was one of the original photos they had sent before starting any work. If the leak was visible in that photo, I'm unclear why they couldn't have diagnosed it earlier. The added cost of this additional repair definitely tips the scales of worth-it/not-worth-it to repair vs replace this car, so I wish I had had all the information before deciding to make the initial repairs. Unfortunately, despite stabilizing the ATF level, fixing the leaks did not resolve the transmission issue. On a smaller scale, they didn't check or top up the tire pressure, which most mechanics I've gone to have done as a courtesy when working on my vehicle. The day after I picked up my car the tire pressure light went on, and when I checked my tires all four of them had low pressure. It's a small thing, but especially when dealing with expensive mechanical items like cars, the small things matter a lot in creating a sense of security and trust with your mechanic. They did mention that they were under new management since the last time I had been in, which may account for the different experiences.
