** Do Not Go To Minor Auto Care ** Failed in basic Automotive Electrical Wiring, not only did they not know how, they ruined a high quality automotive wiring kit, they cut wires that they had no clue about, failed to install wires in the kit, and did not read the installation instructions. Drilled a hole for wiring in the floor board and no grommet. Left the ECM on the fender rather than mounted in the vehicle. Got the vehicle running at shop, but when vehicle arrived it did not run. Fried and blew the ECM (computer) Fried a Custom performance chip. Said he filled the fluids, and did not. Said he fixed the brakes, but leaking brake fluid and missing parts. Chipped the paint in numerous areas (Also see Nick T review 09/28/18) Eric appears to be a straight shooter, except when his shop fails and delays due to their professional errors. (See Pilar C. review 07/31/17) Did work without authorization, and would not release without payment. Overcharged for terrible work and uncompleted work. read more

We all have bad stories about mechanics that did us wrong. Well, that is over. You have found the right guys. We have a business and a large family so we need help from time to time. A good friend in the auto business recommended Eric at MAC to me. We tried him out. They offered better, faster service parts and were less than than the competition. Not to mention they are sooooo nice. Its a shame I can only give 5 STARS. For us they have replaced a motor and fixed the heater on a 2009 Mustang, Power steering hose for a 2005 Passat (Impossible to reach), Transfer case on my 4x4 truck and just saved our 2014 Challenger that sucked up rain water into the motor and completely vapor locked when my daughter drove through a giant puddle. If it has a motor and 4 wheels, they can fix it. If you take your vehicle to them, you will be writing one of these 5 start raving reviews too. read more

Erik and his team were able to successfully machine my original 1966 Corvette rotors for my restoration project. Can't tell how happy I was with his attention to detail and the concern I had in salvaging my original rotors. Thanks to the whole MAC team! read more

Ugg.. , dead battery but I knew exactly who to call. Eric Minor at Eric Minor Auto Care is just amazing. I never have to worry that I'm being taken advantage at this shop. If you are in need of a honest reliable mechanic call Eric Minor Auto Care read more

I had a bad experience with minor auto care. I left my 32 ford for them to run a/c lines and they scratched my hood, did not make the hood line up correctly and did a terrible job on running the condensation tube for the a/c unit. I was told it would be 1 week but ended up being 2 which is not a big deal to me but the scratched hood and tube were deal breakers. The car runs hot now and fans do not come on when they are supposed to. I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 because they offered to put touch up paint on the scratches but I am not interested in bringing my car back to them. I see a lot of good ratings so I must have caught them on a bad week. I will not be back . read more

Eric Minor and his crew do great work. It is difficult to find a mechanic you can trust. We have never had Eric push us for anything we did not need. read more

Quick and easy service! Better prices than most competitors! Thanks guys! Will be coming back for sure!

This is honestly one of the most trusted auto shops in OC. I never hesitate to come to here with any car trouble I may be having and the job always gets done quickly and efficiently. The staff is very friendly and Eric (the owner) is very personable. I highly recommend checking out Minor Auto Care whenever you have car issues. read more

Not from this area and needed something checked out on my car. Very honest and helpful. I liked how they didn't resort to buying a new part they just fixed the problem right on the spot. Defiantly will be coming back! read more

wow, this place is the real deal I came here on the recommendation of a friend who sells autoparts (ccp) I'd been burnt by mechanics in the past, but this place was honest as can be and at a fair price. Actually I was shocked at how reasonable these guys were. My car is an '07 but in the hour or so that i waited lots of local guys came through with classic hot rods, all knew the owner by name. Great service, great price, my car is running like a champ. I am happy to have come accross this place. Family owned and operated, with a focus on customer service that i couldn't believe. read more

Great place to have your car serviced by dependable people. Everyone in this shop has the same objective. That is, to make sure your car is serviced professionally, and most important, that's it's safe. Eric will advise you if something other than what you came for needs attention, but will not pressure you to take action on it. I come here because I trust they'll do a great job, and I can feel comfortable leaving with a safe vehicle. Great job! read more

We are electricians in Yorba Linda and took our service truck to Minor Auto Care! Because we are self-employed, our truck is our business! Minor Auto is a family owned and run business, love that! Eric Minor is a true professional and his shop is pristine. He diagnosed the problem and had our truck back to us in 24 hours. The pricing was clear and reasonable. We have spent years looking for someone like Eric and he will be the only mechanic to work on our trucks! Would recommend Minor Auto Care to my friends and family! read more

I went with my cousin to pick up her moped from this shop. She brought it here more than 6 months ago. She had been calling to check in on it with no response. Finally she called to just pick it up and again, no reply. We finally went to get it. His response... "Oh, I wasn't expecting you." Really? He brought it out and it was in worse shape that it was brought in. The engine casing was off, we had to ask them to find it, as it was brought in with it on. He told us that the carburetor was missing parts. The carburetor was not the reason it was brought in for and had previously not had a problem. Said he was only able to look at it on his "off" time, even though it wasn't a charity project and he was going to be paid for his work. Very unprofessional. The best part was as he was helping us load it in the truck he says... "If you want to unload it, I'll buy it off you." Seriously? What about that story about how the parts are unavailable, and how you couldn't fix it?? How about you do your job. Or let your customer know you are not capable. And return a phone call. I would never bring my car or anything else here. read more

You only need to know 2 things about Eric: Positive & real. I have personal knowledge of this, & I wouldn't say it unless it's deserved.

Eric and his staff will always shoot you straight with your auto repairs. They've been looking after my 12 & 13 year old vehicles for the last 6 years and have always done a great job. Very reliable and honest. Definitely recommend them. read more

Thanks Eric and Team for treating my car like it's your own! It runs like a dream at 117K miles thanks to you all. I highly recommend you to all my friends and family. read more

fantastic auto service, honest, very nice family runs shop

I had a flat tire and in researching where to take my car to be fixed, I heard nothing but great things about Eric and his company. After calling to get pricing and availability, his prices were VERY competitive and he was able to fit me into his schedule first thing the next morning. It took less than 30 minutes for them to install 2 tires and to put my spare back in place and more importantly, the work completed was done right. I highly recommend this company for any of your car needs! read more

I have a 1998 Corolla that had an issue with the brake lights not turning off after the brake pedal was released. Took it to a couple of auto shops to get their opinion. They said that it must be an electrical issue and they don't do electrical. They suggested to take the car to a Toyota dealership. Knowing how expensive the dealership work is going to be, I decided to try this local mechanic shop MCA. I gave them a call first thing next morning and they said bring it in and we'll take a look at it the same morning. Eric looked at the car himself and after a couple of minutes, determined that there is no electrical issue: the brake pedal was simply bent too much and so in a released position it was not making contact with the switch that turns off the brake pedal. He suggested that there is a simple solution for it and it will take about an hour and $100 and the car should be ready before noon to pickup. He asked me if I want him to work on it and I said yes. A couple of hours later I got a call that the car is ready. In short, he is an HONEST, knowledgeable, helpful, and polite mechanic with fair prices. I will take any of my cars to him next time they had any issues. read more

We love eric and his crew. Very knowledgeable and honest. We have been taking our cars to him for years!

I have used Minor Auto Care for all of my automotive repair needs since 2012 and would never consider another repair facility. Owner Eric Minor and his team have always been thorough and the repair costs are reasonable. I have referred several friends and family members, and would highly recommend MAC to anyone else who is looking for a fair and honest automotive repair facility. read more

This place is awesome !! Trust me, if my wife likes this place then you don't need to shop around. Since she has gotten burned by reputable dealers, she is the mother of all researchers and is very careful. We heard about this place from someone who highly recommended them. I called and talked to Eric who was fantastic. Then my wife called him and pretty much conducted an interview...if they were in the same room she likely would have had a bright light shining on him LOL. When there is nothing to hide and your honest, it was easy for Eric to answer all her questions and pass my wife's interrogation. The 2008 Honda that my wife bought brand new has had it's share of issues. The dealers are simply to expensive and frankly not as good. She got tired of high prices, waiting to get the car in, and often problems that were not fixed causing the hassle of another trip back to the dealer. Since we started using Minor Auto Care, Eric has gotten us in surprisingly fast, provided a quote, and then repaired the car getting it back to us quickly...and they do it RIGHT They are fair, honest, great to deal with, have quality technicians, and they always do the right thing for the customer ! They ooze with integrity and I love supporting a business like this!! Another plus to Minor Auto Care is that Eric has a classic car side where he does incredible work as well as complete builds on every hot rod and classic car you can name. Wether you have a classic car or not, this is a great quality to possess when you are looking for a shop for your regular car.. these guys get it ! read more

I called in to get one of my lights checked. He saw me that same day and in less than an hour Mike solved the issue. He diagnosed, solved and explained to me what went wrong. Awesome honest guy. I would come here in a heart beat. read more

Minor Auto Care (MAC) is a dream-come-true--especially for someone who knows zilch about cars. I own a Mazda 6 (aka, Cash Cow), and it seemed on its last legs, er wheels. Because l drive 40 miles daily to work, l knew l had to see a Car Guy. A friend suggested Minor--thank God! Owner Eric is not only truly friendly but extremely efficient and car savvy. He brought my car back to life! At a very good price.... A few days later, the car began missing and l went back to Eric. He drove it and quickly diagnosed the prob: I needed to use any top-tier gas but ARCO. I did--and my car has been running like a Ma--serati ever since. Minor Auto Care is majorly worth it in every respect! read more

My Chevy Equinox was on it's last leg - perhaps beyond that point. I was referred to Eric at Minor Auto Care and he quickly and transparently diagnosed it for me, free of charge. The car had a bad transmission and head gasket. Not your typical mechanic's assessment of trying to earn the business while it might not be your best move. He candidly told me my options and actually suggested selling or junking the vehicle. I have never seen such honesty in his business and always felt he was acting with my best interest in mind. I trusted him and appreciated the advice he gave. He even allowed me a day to keep the car in his lot until I figured out a sale or where I would move it from there. Furthermore, I got some good advice from his employees Oscar and McKenna. I will always bring my cars to Eric in the future because I know with him I have professional service and knowledgeable insight as if he were the one who owned the car. Thank you, Eric! read more

By far the BEST mechanic and customer service!! I was at a light and my car started shaking and it was jerky. Of course I freak out because I have no idea what was going on (not a car person) so I drove to auto zone and they referred me to Minor Auto Care. I called and Eric said to bring it over, I didn't think I was going to make it so I just went to Firestone. They charged me $99 JUST to see what was wrong with it. then gave me paperwork and told me I needed work done that was going to cost me $2,000. there was NO WAY I was going to pay that. I called Eric again and he said to bring the car to him so I ended up getting AAA and towed it there. and let me just say that he pretty much cut that price in half!They kept me updated with what they were doing and finished sooner than I thought. Best customer service ever!!!! I will always be coming back to these guys and I will DEFINITELY Be recommending them! read more

worst mechanic ever! overcharged me & double what he quoted. did additional work without consulting me for approval. i payed all the fees. after taking it back 3 times for the same problems, the problems still remain. i ended up taking it to a real mechanic. i would give them 0 stars but this site made me put at least 1. worst experience ever. not only did he not fix the problems, they caused additional problems with my truck... read more
