As a single woman in her 20's, I was so nervous about finding a reliable and reasonably priced…read moremechanic and I'm so grateful I was able to trust the prior yelp reviews and found this place!! My 2018 Honda civic's AC hasn't worked since last year and when I took it to Norms Honda, they quoted me $2,176 to fix the evaporator. I took it to another mechanic and they quoted me $400 for an A/C diagnostic and another $2,400 to fix the evaporator. I was so obviously being taken advantage of, and being a single young woman who knows nothing about cars I was almost willing to pay. But LUCKILY I was able to do more digging on yelp, got an online quote, and was able to bring my car in the same day! Junior explained to me that I was obviously being taken advantage of by the Honda dealership and the previous mechanic. He let me know the problem wasn't as severe or expensive to fix as I was previously told. He was able to give me the best price to fix the problem and since I saved a lot of money, I was able to afford adding additional services that I desperately needed to get fixed like my axles, gasket, and spark plugs. Because his prices were so reasonable, I left feeling like I got a new car. To everyone looking for a reliable, honest car shop that you can rely on, I cannot recommend this place enough!! I'm definitely making this my go-to. Thank you Junior and your team!!

But I pulled up, and they took my car in right away to get started. I took my car in for new brakes as I'm getting new tires next week. Staff brought me to look at my rotors and break pads and explained options and "why". Not pushy or judgmental (I know nothing about cars) and I felt like he was really concerned for me that I had run my tire tread down as far as I had they test drove my car a few times after the install, and once I was on the road, I could tell an immediate difference. We are new to the area and will definitely be returning to Manny! Thanks again!

Costa Mesa Transmission was unable to diagnose or repair my vehicle and consistently demonstrated…read morepoor communication throughout the process. I paid $333 for two hours of labor for a diagnosis and a relearn procedure that I was told would resolve the issue. At no point was I contacted to authorize any additional work beyond the diagnosis. I was later informed that the vehicle was fixed and paid the invoice, hoping the issue had been resolved. Unfortunately, the problem remained. When I returned, I received conflicting explanations. First, I was told there were no detectable issues. Later, I was told the transmission needed to be replaced. I was also repeatedly told that the repair I suspected would not fix the problem. Even so, I asked them to provide a quote for that repair since a transmission replacement was not financially practical. I was told they would call me with a quote and credit one hour of labor, but I never received a call. After nearly a month of poor communication and an unrepaired vehicle, I decided to purchase the part and perform the repair myself. More than 100 miles later, the vehicle is operating normally. The repair that I was repeatedly told would not solve the issue ended up resolving it completely. I am extremely disappointed with my experience and am out $332 with no resolution provided by the shop.

Their prices are so fair that I genuinely feel like they undercharge and wouldn't at all mind paying more. I first came here after the Toyota dealership told me my timing belt cover was leaking oil and wanted to charge me thousands of dollars. Lol. Came here for a second opinion and was reassured I'll be just fine, just top up oil every now and then. Been coming here ever since for every 5,000 mile maintenance! And to replace my spark plugs! I told my sister to bring her car here too for maintenance. This past weekend, her boyfriend's dad checked her oil level with the dipstick and said the oil was really low. She came back here to double check and turns out he was mistaken; she was totally fine. Truly wonderful people that you can trust without question. Very grateful for all they have done to help us.

Their prices are the most fair in the area, but the quality, the skill, the knowledge that were provided was TOP NOTCH. Very honest and knows alot about cars.

He found more issues that other shops probably wouldnt have caught. Auto scientists with MAD SKILLS. Arnold educated and guided me and we were able to make the best and right decision on the vehicle. Thanks man!

If you need a pre-purchase inspection or any auto repair, whether it be european, american, japanese made, etc, and EVs, take your car here and don't think twice. We reached out to Arnold for a pre-purchase inspection. While six other places quoted us $250-$350 for a "comprehensive" inspection, we paid Arnold $100, which was a STEAL for what he did, even more than what the others promised. He spent at least two hours thoroughly checking the vehicle, test driving it and walking us through every detail so we truly understood its condition. We were looking at buying an Audi Q4 e-tron that had a damage report. A reputable dealership told us it was "minor" and offered to take it to the mechanic for our peace of mind. After browsing Yelp and reading the amazing reviews, we decided to come here instead and I'm so glad we did. I had already done my due diligence and familiarized myself with the vehicle and potential issues. I asked Arnold very specific, technical questions that I already knew the answers to. He answered every single one with clarity and confidence and everything I was expecting to hear. My husband stayed the entire time, and Arnold patiently explained everything while inspecting the car. You can tell he was that kid that made the auto shop his playground growing up. He's passionate, meticulous, and GENUINELY cares. What impressed me most is that Arnold will never pressure you. He won't tell you "don't buy it," but he will clearly explain what could go wrong and what it might cost to fix. When I pressed him for his honest opinion, he said he personally wouldn't buy it at the listed price but if we negotiated it lower, then it might be worth considering. That level of honesty is RARE. They are your small local auto shop but I would choose them over any flashy, grandiose service center any day. Their integrity and transparency make them stand out. Thank you so much, Arnold and your dad, for the amazing service. We ended up just buying a Tesla!

I can't say enough good things about Ed and his team at Transmission Specialist…read more My Ford F-150 suddenly went into limp mode and was stuck in third gear, along with a few other issues. Since my truck was out of warranty, I wasn't sure where to turn. I reached out through Yelp and heard back from Ed almost immediately. He had a good idea of what might be wrong and invited me to bring the truck in for an assessment. After inspecting it, he identified damage (caused by rats) to the transmission wiring harness, which had unfortunately caused internal damage. He walked me through everything clearly and provided a very reasonable estimate for a full rebuild. Throughout the entire process, Ed was easy to communicate with, always professional, and genuinely helpful with his advice. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond after the repair. I was told this type damage might be covered under my comprehensive auto insurance. Ed then took the time to work directly with my insurance company--providing detailed documentation and expert insight. Because of his effort and experience, the claim was approved and the repair ended up being fully covered. That level of service is rare these days. I truly appreciate Ed's honesty, professionalism, and follow-through. He did exactly what he said he would do and then some. I wouldn't hesitate to come back or recommend him to anyone in need of transmission work.
