Found these guys about 5 years ago when I took my car next door to Matt and he could not accommodate it. Stopped by next door and they got it right in. Repairs were excellent and the service, quick. Since then, they have been my go to repair shop in town. I've taken a few of our cars and truck for various repairs and smog service and have never had any issues. No repairs are ever cheap but when I know I'm getting quality service I'm willing to pay to get the repairs completed. Thanks Paso Robles Auto Repair. Next time I see you guys at Cal Coast, I'm buy your guys a round! read more

See all

Had an emergency on the road and just needed a small part. Fixed it fast and for free!

I can't say enough good things about this team! I was visiting from out of town, hauling a trailer, and my truck started to act up. They took care of it (needed new spark plugs) in just a few hours and made sure I could get home to NorCal safely. So impressed and grateful for their great work and kindness. read more

Hi came across Paso Robles Auto Repair when trying to find someone who could fix the Auto Start/Stop issue on my Jeep. I called at the beginning of the week and was told I would bring in my car within the next couple of days. I brought my car in and not only was the customer service great, but Lalo was able to diagnose the issue and fix it within a few hours. There was transparency and communication the entire time they had my car which was really appreciated. I highly recommend getting your car serviced here. Thank you! read more

Well don't wait for them to fix your car...more than 18 months Delays, excuses, on and on... They said that they had another local mechanic look at the problem & that never happened. Choose carefully. read more

Was in Paso Robles overnight and my Tesla undercarriage came loose. Called Paso Robles Auto Repair and Lalo and his crew moved vehicles out so they could quickly get my car on the lift. After looking at the problem it was clear I would need to order a part but the mechanic offered to zip tie the flapping part so it did not get more damaged on my way home... 250 miles away. When I offered to pay, they refused payment. Thank you so much and the fix worked to get me home! read more

We needed two vehicles to get a smog test so I called and they took us right in and in about 20 minutes they were done. Fast and friendly service makes Paso Robles Auto Repair highly recommended! read more

Our engine light came on as we headed to Northern California. A local mechanic was booked and recommeded them as an honest and reliable. They were right, Paso Robles Auto Repair not only found one problem for the engine light, but test drove the car and found another problem with our brakes! Very honest, professional, considerate and reliable. Price was so reasonable. They went out of their way to get us back on the road. If we lived in Paso, we'd use them as our trusted mechanic. read more

I had a check engine that came on my 2003 Highlander 3 times after your shop tried to check it out....which took 5 days each time being without my car...each time without charge and you weren't able to find a solution. I took it to another shop and paid $150.00 for a diagnostic and after 3 hours they found a spark plug and a wire was the reason.....the cost besides the diagnostic was $ 25.00!!!!!That should have been part of your diagnostic!!! You also qouted me $760.00 for a headlight replacement and this shop has quoted me $350.00....I trusted you guys having read your reviews and had used you in the past felt confident. Won't be recommending you and feel let down read more

I was heading out of town when I realized that my car was leaking gas. I took my car to Paso Robles Auto Repair, and they were able to squeeze me in on a busy morning and take a look at my car. They quickly diagnosed the issue (a cracked gas tank and fuel pump), took great care of my car, and went above and beyond to help get me back on the road quickly. Thank you! read more

Came here for a smog check in order to complete my annual vehicle registration. The customer ahead of me failed and was a complete asshole about it. I respected the ability of the staff to remain calm and not bend when the guy kept pressing for a passing test. Very professional. Once it was my turn I pulled into the garage and stuck around through the test. Quick, yet thorough. At the end I received a print out of all the tests completed and an apology for witnessing the prior customer exchange (not needed!). I mentioned the $10 off smog check on their website which was applied without issue. Great experience. Would recommend and will be back. read more

These guys are the best. Prompt assistance even when they are busy. Good prices. Unfortunately they don't do transmissions, but they helped me diagnose and sent me on my way in a hassle free environment. I always go to them, for whatever my auto needs as they are honest, friendly, on time and dependable. read more

My car broke down 300 miles from my house and when AAA dropped my car off, Eric was eating but he immediately stopped and got up, took a look at my car, ordered the parts needed and repaired it in less than an hour. Everyone at the shop was very helpful. I wish that there's a repair shop like this close to my home. Would give 10 stars if I could! Thank you very much Eric, I appreciate all that you did! read more

I made an appt for an oil change but sent my husband to get it done this time (the first time I went and had a wonderful experience). My husband came back from our appt and was raving about how nice the guys were, how they even showed him what to check/keep an eye on for something to be checked out later. My husband is a critic and mentioned multiple times throughout the day how impressed he was with the garage and the mechanics. Safe to say it's our go-to auto repair garage! Like my other review stated, if you get there FIRST THING you will be in and out super quick with very little waiting time. They do take appointments though so set one if you can; my husband was back home from our appt in under an hour. read more

Great customer experience getting my Motorhome smog certified. Very efficient and timely with prices they honor and cannot be beat !

Erik and his team were amazing. I scheduled an appointment on Friday PM for Monday AM, and within an hour of dropping the car off they were able to diagnose my AC problem as a faulty expansion valve. By the end of the day I had ice-cold AC. They worked hard, were nice and respectful, and taught me helpful knowledge about my car. Great experience. read more

I can not thank these guys enough for the great customer service they provided me and my family. I went to Paso Robles with my family, lil ones and all when my car broke down leaving us on the side of the road over 200 miles from home. I took my car to this shop taking a major risk as you never know if you ll be taken advantage of when your so far from home and desperate. As soon as I arrived a gentleman was quick to help me and diagnose my vehicle. I was told my alternator had given out which made total sense why the vehicle shut down completely. I was given a fair price for parts and labor. I picked up my car and it has been driving great since. Totally recommend this auto repair shop, workers are honest and are big on integrity. Thank you Gentlemen read more

Went for a smog test for both cars, they were fast and friendly! Just moved to PR from the Midwest and we found our car spot!

After hearing strange noises while traveling home, I spoke to Erik at Paso Auto Repair the next morning. He asked me to bring the car in first thing and they would take a look at it for me. I was concerned as I would be traveling again the following day. Erik was able to check out my car in between other appointments, and even completed an oil change!! I have had three different vehicles worked on at Paso Robles Auto repair, and their work is honest, thorough, and dependable. Whether you are searching for a mechanic, or a place to get your oil changed, Erik and the team at Paso Robles Auto Repair will do the job right! I highly recommend! read more

I have been trying to get my car window motor, switch, and locking mechanism fixed for months in Northern California where I live with no luck or they wanted crazy prices to fix it. I decided that since I was coming to Paso Robles to see family, I would try my luck. What a great suprise to find Erick and his business. I was taken good care of, and they did an amazing job at a price I would have never gotten back at home. I highly recommend Paso Robles Auto for any car repair you may need. The best part is I will drive here anytime I need work because honest hard working mechanics are very hard to find. read more

I never leave reviews, but...this place is the best. I grew up with my parents owning Tip Top Body Shop in Ventura. All word of mouth, beginning with my grandfather who started the business after the Navy. PRAR reminds me of that shop. The guys are so kind, smart and helpful. Thank you!!! read more

Erik was great and helped us out when our alternator went out while we were on vacation in the area. Kept us updated on the repair and gave us a ride to and from our hotel. Turned a nightmare into a great story. Highly recommend if you live in the area or have trouble when on the road. read more

While I love my beat-up old Mustang, she is very unreliable. To my dismay, she decided to start lagging when shifting gears, making it a danger to drive on the highway. I was in frenzy that my transmission was more than likely going to die soon. I called Paso Robles Auto Repair hoping to get my car in the shop immediately before she completely broke down. They were able to fit me in the next day! I dropped off my car explaining the situation of what was wrong. I explained to them I was hoping to sell her soon so I did not want to put too much money into fixing her. They drove her a round for a bit and luckily, it was not my transmission that was causing the issue! They explained to me what they thought was wrong in a kind and informative manner that did not make me feel inferior. They were extremely understanding of my desire to sell my car soon and promised to not do anything that wasn't 100% needed. They recommended a tune-up and were very up-front about the cost. Unfortunately, the tune-up only partially fixed the problem. They called me after the weekend to inform me of the situation and apologized that my car was not fixed. They said they thought they knew what was wrong now and would fix the problem with zero cost of labor, just pay for the new parts needed. When I got my car back, I was very happy with how she ran! She is doing better than ever with no problems! Throughout the whole experience, they provided wonderful customer service! They seem to be extremely knowledgeable, kind car mechanics! I would definitely recommend them for all car issues! read more

Found Paso Robles Auto Repair through Yelp and I have found their amazing reviews are 100% accurate. Called regarding my AC not working and they got me in same day. They also drove me home since it would take a few hours and I didn't have a ride. They unfortunately couldn't fix the problem due to newer electronic issue and called the dealership to confirm issue and they could fix it for me. Then dropped off the car at my house before 3 as they remembered I needed to pick up my kids and didn't even charge me! Extremely impressed with their service, definitely recommend and will be going back in the future! read more

Outstanding fast service. My car was towed their yesterday right before they closed. I needed a bew alternator. They ordered me one cheaper than their competition and had it replaced and on the road the very next day by 1:30. I realized that your rates are lower as well. I highly recommend them. ​ read more

I've lived here a year and needed to find a mechanic to look at my tires and battery in preparation for a couple of months of driving more than usual. Of course I waited until the last minute but they were able to get me in. I worked with Eric who was really nice and gave me all the information I needed. He even came to pick me up at my apartment when my car was ready! I've never had that level of service! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

My clutch blew out on my way home to the bay area while I was just outside of paso, but Eric was super helpful with getting my car repaired quickly, and really went the extra mile to reunite me with my car. During the service, Lalo called me to make sure I was updated on what work was being done and my pricing options. Overall, this shop was excellent to work with. read more

These guys will hook you up! Was having problems with my car after driving it back from Sacramento to LA and these guys went above and beyond to get me back on the road. I'm really appreciative because it's not all that common these days to go the extra mile. read more

Amazing service! My car was having trouble 2 hours in on a 7 hour drive to San Diego, they were able to see my right away! Jonathan was very helpful and attended to my car within the hour. This place saved me a lot of time and trouble- wouldn't of made it home without them!! read more

Got my Toyota Rav4 100,000 mile service done. Check in/out went smoothly and the team was really transparent with pricing and services. The staff was friendly but professional and offered a ride home without me asking. Would definitely go back for any major service! read more

As a young woman taking my car in, I always worry about someone trying to rip me off. I have a lot of trust in these guys.

Recently I went looking for a business to fix the brakes on my car. New rotors and pads on all four wheels. These guys had the lowest price in town and their customer service was spot on.
