    Hector is a great automotive electrician as well as mechanic. I highly recommend PCH Garage if your have an older vehicle.

    Once again Hector pulls off what other mechanics would charge $500 for he did it for less than half that price.

    My 2015 Honda CRV awd was towed into Ron Catt Auto Care.Corwin Sherman listen to what I believed…read morethe issues with the car were. He carefully laid out a plan of diagnosis and probable solutions. They were busy yet we're able to take a look at the car. Every step along the way the explained what they were going to do, the costs and then the final repairs and time associated with such repairs. Costs were reasonable, Jeff Lucente the technician was very knowledgeable and clear as to what could be done and what should be done. They were very timely in their repairs. The even made a few favorable financial changes in my favor. They took a few pics for me to send to the previous mechanic who did previous repair work badly causing this issue to arise. Thank you all. Greatly Appreciated. Would recommend them all day everyday and twice on Sunday!! Daniel Bierman

Every person working at Ron Catt is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They make it very clear what solutions are for keeping your car at its best and ensure you know what is optional vs necessary. Specific shout outs to Corwin and Jack for providing comprehensive breakdowns. Pricing is fair and the peace of mind knowing your car is in good hands is invaluable. I look forward to bringing any future vehicles here and you should too.

    So grateful for everyone who was so gracious, helpful, and professional. My SUV was towed from a…read morenearby place to the shop, and they were so attentive. The price they gave me was nothing compared to what I would have been charged at another place. I definitely recommend them, and I'll be back and refer them.

    Dropped off our car for an 8:00 a.m. appointment with five requested items:…read more * Intermittent EPC light * A/C controls malfunctioning + Extra small items needed support with as already taking it in for 2 main items above: * Burned-out headlights * Rear wiper replacement * Stuck headrest Summary: We were charged a $110 diagnostic fee for EPC, $110 diagnostic for lights (ha!), $70 for windshield wiper replacement, $40 for headlight replacement. We spent over $320 between the diagnostic and basic maintenance items (still trying to figure out a $110 diagnostic for light swap), yet the two primary concerns we brought the car in for were either dismissed or pushed into another paid diagnosis. That's difficult to justify from an independent shop that relies on customer trust and reputation. Details: - No communication all day after dropoff. We had to call at 4:00 p.m. and were then told the car wouldn't be ready and we'd need a loaner and to come get it. - Had to scramble for a loaner because no one bothered to update us. - Google says they're open until 7:00 p.m., but we learned from the on-site dispatcher the service staff leave at 5:00 p.m. After that, only someone handing out loaner keys and answering phone, with no knowledge of vehicle status or access to notes. - EPC diagnosis resulted in "no fault found". Full diagnostic charge anyway. If there were no codes, no findings, and no direction beyond "bring it somewhere when the light comes back," what exactly was the diagnostic fee for? Apparently it didnt cover all items we checked it in with either (A/C continued...) - The A/C issue, listed at check-in, wasn't addressed at all. At pickup, we were told it would require another diagnostic charge and keeping car for longer. Why were we told to come pickup car then if service wasn't fulfilled? Why not call and communicate that so we could decide before driving down expecting to pickup with services fulfilled. - Headlights & rear wiper: Replaced. Thanks for handling the simple items we could've easily done ourselves. We only added them because the car was already there for the larger concerns. - Headrest: Not addressed because there were "no notes." No offer to have us bring it back, no attempt to make it right, despite it being listed at check-in. The biggest disappointment wasn't that every issue couldn't be fixed (understanding EPC intermittent problems can be difficult to diagnose). The most disappointing part was management's response. Instead of acknowledging the communication failures or incomplete service, manager/owner doubled down and was defensive rather than solution-oriented or taking any accountability, only noting you should have been told we needed it for 3-5 days. Other than that, exact words: "I get paid to have all the answers" and "I have been satisfying my community". They defended the charges and the process despite contradictory from check-in. I was also told the A/C required a separate diagnosis, despite it being one of the original reasons the vehicle was dropped off. There was no ownership of the lack of communication, poor explanation for why only some of the requested items were evaluated, and no effort to make the experience right. Paying premium prices should come with premium communication, transparency, and follow-through. Instead, we paid $210 to hear "no codes found," and we figured out we needed to swap lights, ha! (plus +110 for basic swaps). Then, we were told to pay for another diagnosis on an issue we already reported (A/C), or to take it in elsewhere for work, and left with fewer answers than we arrived with. 1 star: thanks for a last minute loaner at no charge, though reminder, we had to call to even try to understand what was going on (and even at that, didnt get feedback!)

I searched HB FB forums recommendations and also Yelp and everything pointed to Schmidty's Garage. Well, Schmidty's did just that and they even took the car to get it smogged and it passed! As a single mom working full time and over time, I appreciate you taking that extra step to get it smogged at no extra cost. We are extremely grateful for the service Schmidty's Garage.

    I took my vehicle to a shop with great reviews. They gave me what seemed like a reasonable initial…read moreimpression, but when the actual quote came back it was around $2,400, and then they started pushing unnecessary add-ons. The part itself wasn't expensive, but they insisted the labor was extensive and pressured me into getting it repaired immediately. not trusting my instincts but also needing my car back quickly, I went ahead with the repair. About a month later, I found out the issue was actually related to a recall. That meant I could have had the entire repair done at the dealership for free. What makes it worse is that they clearly knew something was up they even told me they had to contact the dealer for information. Because of that, I ended up paying a couple THOUSAND dollars I didn't need to spend. In hindsight, they were aware it was likely a recall and didn't disclose it properly. Very shady experience definitely go somewhere else.
