Dropped off my Impala with a check engine lite at 8am, Vehicle was repaired and I picked it up by 10:30. Fast service and reliable.

I highly recommend Pepe's Auto and air I take my car there for anything that goes wrong and recently had to motor mounts that had to be replaced. That were only replaced a year ago and I was charged nothing. He took care of everything for me fast efficient with no hassle this place is hands-down one of the best auto shops in Visalia read more

Dropped off in morning and was done before noon. He found a couple leaking valves in my ac in my truck. Found them and repaired and it's working fine. Will be using him for any auto repair I may need in future read more

Highly recommend Pepe's Auto. Extremely knowledgable, high quality work at very fair prices. Just had a couple front control arms replaced and the car drives like new. Always great service. Always explains the issues. The honesty and expertise is much appreciated. Thanks Jeff and crew. I'll be back. read more

We knew exactly what we wanted done but they wouldn't even consider working on the car without paying $150 upfront to run a diagnostic first. How does that save money? read more

I stopped by Pepe's a few weeks ago when my truck had some trouble starting. With a quick conversation about my truck's repair history, he hypothesized about what the issue was, offering suggestions on what I could do, and I've had no problems since. For this quick stop by the shop, he charged me nothing! I returned this morning because my "check engine" light came on, and I have 3000 miles to drive very soon. He found and fixed a PCV valve leak in a span of 20 minutes or so, and he charged less than half of what he originally quoted me! Come on, man! This guy is an honest mechanic who will provide service to the best of his ability and won't overcharge you. This is a rare find. I will gladly recommend Pepe's to all my friends in the area, and if I were to stay in Visalia, this would definitely my regular shop! read more

Many of the other shops around here didn't have the tools to diagnose my 2020 Dodge Durango. Pepe's Auto was not only able to diagnose the problem, but they were also able to fix my engine in just a few days! I had mentioned to Jeff, the owner, that we were hoping to get our car back before Christmas and sure enough, they called on Christmas Eve to let me know that my car was ready for pick up. I just moved into this town and honestly, I feel blessed to have found such a good, honest and reliable auto mechanic here. I am most definitely coming back for our future auto needs. THANK YOU, PEPE'S AUTO, FOR YOUR SERVICES. read more

Took my Corvette in for an engine tuneup and fuel injection service and I couldn't be happier, Jeff even showed me the old spark plugs and wire set and explained to me that the engine was running a little lean but otherwise great.

I'm new in the area and after doing my research on other shops , I'm extremely happy I've found the right shop for all my Auto and Truck needs .., Trust me you're not going to find more down to earth and friendly personnel than Jeff and his staff. read more

I had an A/C with a slow leak. Tim did a great job isolating the problem and replacing the leaking valves. I have now found my new go-to auto repair shop. No wonder they're always busy but they're also fast. I was also very pleased with the reasonable cost. Thanks for a great job. read more

Had motor issues and they took care of me here. It took a few days longer than I was quoted and ended up being $75 more than I was quoted so that sucked but the guy who helped me was nice. Smaller shop and they seem very busy. I will return because everything went pretty smoothly. This is down east Main Street. read more

Took my car to Pepe's after a mobile mechanic was paid to replace the timing belt and water pump and it still wouldn't start ( he had it 3 months). Jeff did the diagnostic within an hour of me dropping it off then called and explained issue and I had my car the next day. They will be the only place I go now. Great customer service from Patty also. Thank you Jeff and Patty for working with me after what I went through with the so called mobile mechanic. Thanks Jeff for tips before I went to get it smogged. Jeff & Patty you are the BEST! read more

With all the good reviews I read on here, I decided to take my car in for an oil leak check and timing belt replacement. Service was fast. It took about 30-45 minutes. Right when I got my car back, I drove my car on the freeway to my dentist appointment and I heard a noise coming from the passenger side. It sounded like it was scraping something. Next thing I know, the fender liner on the passenger side came off as I was about to exit off the freeway. I went around to pick up the fender liner and put it in my trunk. After my dentist appointment, I gave Pepe's auto a call back and all they said was they don't fix those things and that I should take it elsewhere. They didn't even apologized for anything. I'm just disappointed in them and their quality of service. I just know I'm not coming back here again. read more

These guys are amazing! I needed a new battery and I couldn't find anyone to install it but these guys came to my rescue! I was able to buy a battery from Napa across the street and those guys recommended and even called to see if they were able to install it for me and they did!!! Took less than 15 mins to jump my car from the Napa parking lot and drive it across the street to install! The gentleman even carried my old battery over to Napa for my refund! Thank you so much helping me get back on the road! I will be back for any car needs and recommend this place to everyone! read more

trustworthy, friendly & informative!! came here for a 2nd opinion. fixed my a/c fast & explained & showed me the process of finding the issue! read more

My car's AC went out for a while and I'm new to the area so I was skeptical about going to any auto shop. Read their reviews and it's very encouraging. Brought my car in and dropped it off for diagnosing. Got a call a few hours later that the AC fixed for a very fair price. The front desk was knowledgeable and friendly. That's it - they got a new customer and I got a new home-mechanic that I can trust. Will recommend to my friends and family. read more

Took my vehicle to Pepe's Auto & Air for AC that wasn't working. They quoted me the estimated repair cost and within 2 hours my vehicle's AC was working like new again. I previously took the vehicle to Firestone. And they could not fix it. I took to the Tulare Ford dealership. They could not fix it. Thank you Patty for the excellent customer service. read more

I am not tech savvy and need help with my car. Jeff and his crew are the best and have taken care of my old Toyota for many years. Jeff goes the extra mile and is this lady's life-saver. I had a fatal 'check engine light' code and my mechanic friends couldn't find or fix the problem. Finally, I found Peps's and Jeff helped me limp through Smog and DMV registration. Two years later, the code was even worse and I still needed new smog to register. Jeff looked and looked, smoked it and tested it (for one fee and he kept me informed every step of the way!) Jeff worked hard, never giving up and giving me time to drive and test the car and CE light, keeping me informed but not wasting my time at all. He finally diagnosed problem to a small seal under the gas tank. Parts aren't available for my car any longer and ordering the new part took a couple extra days, but the new seal and two tank replacements later -- delays because of parts ordering, not Pepe's labor -- But they've fixed my little car 100%! Jeff didn't give up on my old car but kept me informed every step of the way. The check engine light has been stably off for months and months. Car runs and self-tunes like a top as always. This was not a super fast job, but customer consideration and service never faltered a bit! I would never go anywhere else than Pepe's and strongly recommend their service. I may have to move out of Calif because I will NOT go into an electric car from my beautiful frugal little Toyota -- with Pepe's saving the day whenever I need it. read more

My vehicle needed an oil change. I usually take it to the 10 min oil changers but decided I'd bring it here to check out the vibe since I also wanted to find a new good mechanic shop. Of course I did a yelp search for mechanic shops in the area and this place came up with really good reviews. I called and the staff on the phone was courteous and friendly. I asked for an estimate and immediately noticed the estimate was a lot cheaper than the 10 min place. Came in and ended up meeting the owner. He is a super pleasant man. His front desk staff was also friendly. I will definitely be coming here and referring anyone I know who needs a good mechanic. read more

What a great experience! Mr. Pepe and his receptionist treated me so professionally. Other mechanics worked on my cars air conditioner some quotes were astronomical, Pepe fixed it within 3 hours surprisingly 1/4 of the cost. Thank you To Sr. Pepe and his team. read more

In the midst of a road trip, my wife and I found ourselves in Yosemite, in need of brake repair. We were headed to Visalia/Sequoia National Park as part of our next stop and were delighted that Pepe's Auto & Air was open on a Saturday and could get our brakes done in a couple hours. We found them through their great reviews on Yelp and they did not disappoint. They gave us peace of mind that we could continue our journeys safely. read more

I called pepes shop because my AC wasn't cooling my car down, gave me a quote on the phone and I took it in the next day. Was in and out in 30 minutes, my car's AC blows ICE COLD now and it only costed less than 80 bucks, I called other places and they wanted to charge a lot more than that. These guys are great and they know what to do for the repairs you need. I will definitely come back for my future car repairs. read more

Jeff is the best in town. Fair and fast. Highly recommended.

I was traveling with family from San diego when I ended up having issues with my car. I know they were so busy, but they were able to squeeze me in just so I could continue with my trip. The price is reasonable and it was done efficiently. I never felt like they took advantage of me because I have no choice but to get it fix. I found then on Yelp! read more

What a great experience! I called Pepe's when the AC in my truck started blowing hot air. The got me in and out the same day, and were very nice and professional. They replaced a bad condenser and I felt they were more than fair with the bill. I called them because of their great reviews. Now, I would like to highly recommend Pepe's! I am very satisfied! read more

Jeff and his entire team at Pepe's auto pulled out ALL the stops to ensure my SUV left the shop with NO leaks. I had oil leaks, radiator, and other issues that surfaced once they got into pulling things apart. I was offered a rental car and above ALL total fairness. My radiator was replaced upper and lower engine leaks TOTALLY repaired and at a FAIR price. I came here based on reviews and I am so happy to leave a review of my experience. read more

After being told my car needed a condenser and compressor by someone's else. I Googled and found Pepe's. So they called me back and said car was ready that it only needed to be serviced. I switched vehicles with them to fix the ck engine light and a few other things on my suburban. Again I got it back fixed, price was right and the owner of the shop explaining the repairs to you. What they didn't know is I had 24 years experience in the auto dealer service dept. With 20 of those as a service adviser. They did everything the right way from the lady that checks you how the owner runs his shop. The only downfall is parking but I would highly recommend Pepe's. read more

I want to say if you need prompt service this is the place to go. I was traveling and my car overheated. I called this place and they got me in and was told my car would be ready by noon. Considering I was traveling. As promise I was on my way by 130pm. read more

I called Pepe's on Friday because it's getting HOT and my air conditioning has been broken since last summer. Jeff agreed to let me bring my car in the next day on Saturday when he was working 8-12. I dropped it off at 8. By 9:30, I had a diagnosis and an estimate. I told him at first I needed to think about it, then called back about thirty minutes later to say I wanted to get the work done. I said I understood if he couldn't do it that day due to the time but I'd have to pick my car up and bring it back since I need it for work. He offered to and did stay late (cutting into his weekend!) and got it done for me by 1:30! And it was super reasonably priced. No up-selling, no price padding, just the work done really quickly for a very fair (dare I say even excellent?) price. And my a/c works great! THANK YOU! I'm not as scared of summer in Visalia now... read more

They were able to fit me in quickly and had it fixed the same morning I brought it in. It was cheaper than expected and the staff were friendly. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a honest, affordable place to fix your auto air conditioning. read more

I had a rear main seal in the engine replaced along with new shocks...like two weeks later while driving around town my driver side front ball joint completely fell out..as it turned out the mechanic who worked on my car FORGOT to put the cotter pin on the crown nut causing the nut to slowly come out. What's worse is that I had literally just gotten off of the freeway, can't imagine what would have happened if this happened in the interstate...as you can guess I am beyond pissed. What mechanic shop forgets to put a cotter pin.??? Now the axle came out of the transmission and won't even go...this place is subpar at best. read more
