Mike repaired the starter motor on my Lexus and everything went well. He did it in just 2 hours and got the car the same day. He also helped with my coolant system. He's an honest mechanic! read more

See all

Got my smog inspection completed here. Pulled up, told him what I needed, gave him my keys and paperwork, he did what he needed to do, I paid the bill and he confirmed I'd get my registration in the mail. All within 20 min. Bada bing bada boom! I wish everything was this easy. Also, confirming I got my registration. read more

I trust him implicitly and you should to. Tell him Joy sent you. read more

Mike and his mechanic team are my new go to for my daily driver 2001 Corvette. I do most of my own work and I bought a Dewitt racing radiator, fan, and an Autozone water pump, but my apartment building doesn't want anything major done in their garage. So, because my Corvette is a TLC car, I looked all over and found Mike. He installed them all at a good value beautifully and didn't damage the custom underglow and forward camera systems at all. I am so pleased I came back and had him do the front wheel bearing hub also at a fair price. He also scheduled times for me to come in so there was no first-come-first-served time wasted. Highly recommend. read more

Purchased a vehicle from Astra Motors . Great company. However, the mechanic shop(NEWTECH) would not fix my car. They said they didn't want to fix my car. I am stuck paying for a alternator because this Asian owner whispered the" N"word under his breath. HE ALSO SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. ALTHOUGH MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. NOW I HAVE PAY INSTEAD OF ME USING THE CAR WARRANTY. I decided to call AAA and have my car towed to my preferred mechanic. DONT USE THEM IF YOU ARE BLACK!! read more

Fast, affordable, professional services. Changed the scocks and struts on my 2011 Toyota Prius. Dropped it off in the morning and picked up the same afternoon. My car handles noticably better than before. read more

The air conditioning in my Honda Accord was not working. I took it to one shop where they kept it half the day and could not figure out what was wrong. I then took it to Newtech Automotive. It took a while to figure out what was wrong, but they kept at it. The problem was difficult to diagnose and had stumped the guys at the first shop I took it to. From my understanding the problem was a short in the blower regulator and the blower regulator had to be replaced. I was thrilled to have a solution and the repair cost was quite reasonable, especially considering how difficult it was to figure out the problem. I will return to Newtech Automotive for any service on my car that I need in the future and recommend this shop to anyone looking for a great mechanic. read more

Took my truck in to get smog and repair the dude didn't even want to get out of his seat and just told me that they don't do that here. What a A ho. That's not what the sign said or their advertisement. The state even sent me to this place specifically for this but he wouldn't even get up to check. I do not recommend these lazies to anyone read more

Mike at Newtech Automotive is informed, straightforward, prompt, and reasonably priced. I went in knowing that my brakes needed some work. He let me know within an hour that the front brakes did need to be replaced, but my rear brakes were good for another year. Not every shop is this honest. I have trusted him with all automotive issues for the last six years or so. read more

Great customer service! I was greeted and as a walk-in customer, I thought I would have to wait, but nope! They took my car I right away and was done within 10 min! This place has quick service and no need to haggle...this place has a great price for smog check. I only paid $45! You can sit in the waiting area and watch your car being maintenance. I will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

PROPS! I have been taking my cars here for many years now. Mike is so knowledgeable, and honest. Prices are fair. They get very busy so please try and call ahead. read more

Honest, quick and reliable. Went in for an oil change and 60k mile check up. I go to Newtech for all my automotive needs.

After having had a bad experience at another shop trying to fix an engine oil pressure problem on my GMC truck, a friend recommended to come to this place. Mike listened to my explanations on how to replicate the problem and I got a call the next day with details on what needed to be done. Mike even took pictures which he showed me when I stopped by to pick up my truck. His price was great for the work he did and my truck's oil pressure problem has been fixed, it is running like new again. Thank you Mike! read more

We've been going to Mike at Newtech for probably close to 20 years. They do excellent work, are efficient, reasonable, and above all, honest. Mike is truly one of the good guys and has worked on all of our cars and trucks. He can handle virtually anything: an F-150, a Corvette, Lexus, Porsche, Toyota, Range Rover, and countless other vehicles. He has never once over-charged or ever even given reason to doubt him, and we are grateful to have such a reliable mechanic nearby. I have recommended Newtech to countless co-workers, family, and friends over the years and they always come away saying the same thing: "Wow, what a great shop!" read more

I had my breaks changed here today after asking everyone I knew where to have this done. The dealer wanted something like $350, another place wanted $240 out the door. NewTech charged $140, no up-sell, no "we found other problems", yadda yada. I called ahead for a quote and inquired if I needed an appointment. They said "come on in". They were helpful and straightforward and I spent exactly what they quoted me for. I will definitely go back. read more

The best... They take great care of my cars, when I need to. Great service, honesty, and fair rates. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. They will always fix your car the right way and never rip you off like some of the other shops. The owner is super friendly. If you live nearby make sure visit this place and try it out. I am sure you will not regret it. read more

Trust worthy and great place to bring your import car. They get really busy though. I would call ahead and ask if [insert the time & day you want to go here] is ok to bring your car down. They will let you know if that is ok or if there is a better time. No BS, no up-sale...If there is something wrong or if they could save you money, they will call and let you know. They did for me and saved me some headache and trouble later on and didn't even charge me for the extra work. It was one of those "since we already have it off, you might as well do this to save because you'll need it soon." type of things. Car works great till this day. Almost a year later...still no issue with the parts that were fixed (internal) The parking...ah man...the parking sucks big time. You might have to park on the street or something. It's really hard to find a parking spot because it's a small lot and almost all the spaces are used by the shops next to them. You can't really park in front of the shop either, because there is a "no stopping" sign there since the front of their shop is technically the way driveway and private lot at the same time. You'll see what I mean when you get there. Still, even with the difficult parking situation, this place is a little gem for import cars. In a area that is always trying to get the upper hand on unknowing customers it's refreshing to find a honest mechanic shop that I can go to. I take all my used cars here...whenever i can schedule it in. *** always very busy *** Oh and the guys explain everything they did for you clearly so you have no doubts about it. Great work from an honest company. I would and continue to come back here whenever I need work done. read more

Took my car in and did not fix it. Charged for a part he did not change because it is doing the same problem and same code as before

Mike and Glenn are great! So happy I was referred to Newtech Automotive from my friend Rafael S. Thought I needed another break job because the break light and "Pull into nearest service station" message came on, but I did just have them changed 8,000 miles ago. When I called Newtech (last minute emergency, of course), Glenn mentioned they were really busy but to stop by so he could do a quick visual inspection of the pads - stopped in and he said they were fine. It was a relief to hear those words, but I really wanted to schedule an appt. to have them connect the car to their BMW software just to make sure. Went back the next day and reconfirmed the good news - Mike mentioned that the auto shop that last changed my breaks, never reset my BMW's on-board memory that the breaks were new. So my car's memory had no recollection that it's breaks had been changed. :( Oh well, I'm sure it was just overlooked by the person who changed it last. I'm thankful it brought me to Newtech. If you're looking all over Yelp and the Web for your next mechanic, look no further. You have found a place that is very honest and reliable. read more

I have brought several cars in to Mike over the past 10 years. Mike is great to work with and knows his stuff. He never over recommends anything. He will tell you exactly what needs to be done on your vehicle and not "sell" you on additional unneeded services. He stands by his work and prices are very fair. Highly recommend. read more

I've been coming here for a few years and Mike is awesome! I used to have a Mini and Mike took care of it at a fraction of the cost of everywhere else. He's an honest mechanic and his turnaround time is nuts, lol! I had a "dealer only" issue with my Mini that would've cost over $1000. Brought the car to Mike and for $318 he fixed the "dealer only" repair plus an oil change in 3 hours. I have a Hyundai Santa Fe now and he works on it too. I highly recommend his shop for anything you need to get done. It's nice to have an honest mechanic again! read more

Mike and Newtech are awesome and Honest!! If you are looking for any auto repairs, definitely get a quote from Mike! He's my new mechanic for life! read more

I have been coming to this place, NewTech Auto for past 3 years and could not be any happier. Doesn't matter what kind of a car it is, Mike can take care of it. Brought my wife's Hammer because dealer told her it would be about $750 to have it fixed and it would be 2 to 3 days till we get it back. Brought the car to Mike and he had it ready next day for just $167. AMAZING, dealers with all their monies trying to rip you off all the time. I have sent lots of my friends to him to work on their cars. Everyone of them were completely satisfied with the quality of service that they got at this place. read more

I brought my car in for the smog check and i have to say their service was the best! They were fast and Super Friendly, Luis answered all my questions and their price was also great, will definitely recommend my friends here! read more

What a scam this place was. My 1994 honda civic had broken down. I had my car towed to them. Diagnosis was a bad head gasket and that was all that was needed. They replaced the head gasket after a few days. When I got my car back it broke down after having it for three days. The engine block blew up when I was driving it on the freeway. I took it back to them and they said I needed another engine and wouldn't give me a refund for replacing the head gasket. This is not a way of doing business and ripping off the working class. I then took my 1991 honda civic to these guys afterwards for a clutch replacement. They freaking put on the wrong clutch for my 1991 honda civic. I had to do the clutch myself after I started learning about cars. I don't refer these guys to anybody! read more

I disagree with Sonya S about her rating. If you were to rate a mechanic, you base it on his knowledge and integrity and not on your doubtfulness about his ability and rate. The quoted rate of $85.00 per tow is very reasonable. I live about 35 miles away one way and this is a flat tow rate (not by the miles) charged whenever I needed my vehicle towed to Mike's shop. In fact, this tow is just a special service for his client and the charge does not go to the shop. On the other hand, I have never experienced being charged for just diagnostics on the car. If my car does not need the repair, Mike will tell you ahead of time and not charge you for anything. I think Sonya is confused with the tow charge and the actual repair charge. I am writing this review for the reason of helping other motorists out there looking for a reputable and reasonable repair shop. It is also to help support a shop so they can get more business and be around as long as possible to service motorists just like me. read more

Mike and Glenn provided me with great service over the last 5+ years. I go to them for all my car servicing issues for my 2005 Camry. I sometimes bring Mike a list of things that need repairing (which usually comes from other businesses trying to upsell me on their services after they complete my oil change). Mike takes a look at my car for himself and gives me his review, telling me what is really necessary and what can wait. Mike has even had to CONVINCE me NOT to get some work done that I thought was necessary. I trust Newtech wholeheartedly and am glad I found them. read more

I used to be a mechanic and worked on my own cars after that. About 1985 I needed to hoist an engine to get to some spark plugs. I took it to Mike at Newtech. Since then I have taken every car I have owned to Mike for service and for repairs out of warranty. He has never once ripped me off and even allowed me to supply parts a found cheaper a few times. Needed a repir during the holidays once and he even gave me a gift for loyalty. He is a busy guy but top notch always. read more

I have found an honest auto repair place. As a female it's hard to find someone honest than can give prices accordingly. Main tip I have is to get there early. Mike is very courteous and gives suggestions with no pressure. read more

2years ago: i was doing a DYI job and forgot to connect an electrical cable which controls the acceleration of the car. I went to Newtech and within a minute, they diagnosed the problem and fixed it free of charge. Other shops were charging $50-80 just to take a look under the hood! on another occasion i had a spongy break issue. again speedy diagnostics, repair and fair charges. definitely auto shop you can trust and feel good about taking your car to without worrying about being ripped off. honest people making an honest living. I'm definitely sold as a loyal customer based on my experiences with them. great car repair knowledge, honest, outstanding service. read more

I went to jose thinking I had bad breaks, bad shocks and needing a tune up...it turns out I needed oil change and a bag removed from my axel...43 dollars..wow..what a great place..and I got a hug on the way out the door. Very good place to a sexy woman... read more

Mike at Newtech is honest & is fair with his pricing. He really knows cars. Once he knew right away what was wrong with my car just hearing it drive up. I just took my old 98 Olds Bravada in which was making clunking noises when backing up & braking. Very serious--motor mount & 2 other mounts broken. He had the hood up & when he would back up & brake, the whole engine jumped up. I thought I was going to have to junk it. He's fixing it for a very fair price & also checking the fluids. I'm so relieved! I highly recommend him. read more

Mr. Mike is really good at what he does very helpful explains very well what your car needs to have done and has great prices and great service read more

This is the best mechanic I have ever been to in my life! I have been going to Newtech for at least six years as well as all my family and friends and I am so happy with their service.The owner Mike is so honest and he is always there. If something is not worth fixing, he will tell you.Things always get fixed the first time,I never have to go back for the same thing twice. He will never just try to take your money. Who ever heard of an honest mechanic? This is it! read more

The Owner Mike is my saver. I have been his customer for 15 years and he is super honest and very good at what they do. Never over charge and super friendly. read more

I am hesitant to do this review because that means there may be more people visiting "my" mechanic. However I have had nothing but success when I take my vehicles here with Mike. Prices are always reasonable and the skilled work is performed flawlessly. I hate to also admit that I have been a repeat customer recently because that just means I have spent too much money however I have always left satisfied. Keep up the great work. IF I need repairs I look forward to seeing you Mike and company. read more
