Family owned place that is solid, but the All-Star is the guy who runs the shop. I have forgotten his name sadly, but he took really good care of me with a last-minute oil change for my BMW. When the right filter was not going to appear on time he ordered a second one to be dropped off and got my car taken care of and back on the road. read more

Permuth Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Permuth Auto Care has honestly been a surprise find for me. I recently had to replace an entire rear axle on my car, plus the "checker" on the rear passenger door. I put a TON of miles on my car since I'm pretty much everywhere all the time. Now that my car is out of warrenty, I just can't afford to get things fixed at the dealer anymore... Fiesta Kia was trying to charge me a bazillion dollars just to fix those two things. So I started looking around for another option. That's when I found Permuth Auto Care. The owner and his team gave me a very reasonable price, even though I still had to buy a pricey part directly from Kia. But honestly, the turnaroud time blew me away... they had my car fixed WAY faster than any dealership ever has. Their work ethic, friendliness, and fair pricing have earned my loyalty from here on out. I'll definitely be coming back. Huge thanks to the team at Permuth Auto Care! read more

I requested my brake pads be replaced. The price was not close to the first or the revised quote. I understand that it's difficult to give an estimate when you haven't seen the vehicle but really getting close should be the goal, and I get that things happen that can't be controlled like access to parts. But the thing that I couldn't understand was why after coming in so high with the bill this shop added a surcharge for using a credit card, no mention until you put it down to pay. The parts were also an issue.The parts for the rear were available as non Mercedes but front were not so I paid through the nose for the genuine parts but now the rear rotors which are not genuine appear to have a rusty sheen. . read more

Found Permuth Auto Care through YELP. I called the office and spoke with Dominque, he was very nice, friendly and helpful- told him we had bought on line a front grille for our Nissan Rogue. The front left tip of the front grille had come loose, our Nissan dealership said it could not be repaired -it would need to be replaced. When we called the dealership to set up an appt and asked what the charge would be-- they gave us a much higher price then what they had originaaly quoted. We started on a new journey-- to find a reputable auto body shop that would put the new grille on at a fair price, and do a good job. We found the right shop, they were upfront, honest, very fair in pricing. Domenique gave me a price quote. Made the appt for 9:00 am the next morning- the work was done in less than two hours. The owner Jorge is truely a professional, and very talented in his profession, with a happy personallity. Best of all they did an outstanding job and stuck by their price quote. I Highly recommend this shop. Thank you to Permuth Auto Care, owners and their employees. read more

My check engine light came on in addition to my driver side door sticking. Ferrari dealership could not accommodate in such short notice and said I would need to leave my vehicle for one week. Ari and George were able to squeeze me in within a few hours and fixed my issues at very reasonable prices. They even topped off my fluids and oil at no additional charge. Perfect customer service especially for my Ferrari! read more

I was having coolant issues with my car and someone suggested I call Ari at Permuth Auto Care. I drove there and instead of walking on the sidewalk, I took a shortcut through some gravel, slipped, fell and tore some skin off my arm and leg. When I walked into their office, Ari saw me all bloody, escorted me to the bathroom, washed, dried, treated, and bandaged my wounds. Then we got down to business. He gave me excellent advice on my car repair. But more than that, he and his staff were just lovely, caring people. read more

Figured out the issue with my car fast and repaired it like it was their own car. It was really straight forward and simple. The value is exactly what you'd expect for what you pay. Nothing but the best is what they seem to be accomplishing read more

After getting an estimate from this shop they added to it throughout the whole process, I understand that it's difficult to give an accurate estimate without seeing the vehicle so I can't fault them, they had to do it right! The thing I was not happy about was when after increases I was not really expecting, when I was paying they added a surcharge for using a credit card! This I was upset about because it was not disclosed before as part of the estimate. I could have paid cash had I known before hand! I was not happy with that so I told them that and they reduced it considerably but still it could have been avoided so easily. They didn't really want cash, they said, as it's so difficult to deal with, but charged for using a card?? The price reduction was because they use non genuine parts if they are able. Not always the exact same, I noticed the rear brakes rotor has been rusting , cosmetic, but still not what I would have expected. read more

Talk about honesty. I was told I needed wheel bearings and struts which would be well over $1000 after Jorge examined my car. He told me that I did not need those and there is nothing wrong with it. That's the first time I've ever had a mechanic or an auto Repair shop. Tell me that I need something so do not hesitate to call and get quotes from the shop thank you very much. I will be there. read more

I moved to the desert last summer, Jorge was recommended to me through another bmw M driver here in the desert. As soon as I had some time I met Jorge over at the garage. He was super cool and had all my questions answered. He's an extremely knowledgeable tech, from complex M engines like my s55 to commuter cars jorge can handle it. LOOK NO FURTHER, ASK FOR JORGE! Consistent work, fast turn around times, he became my friend. I back his work 100%. Cars of mine he's worked on. 2016 BMW F80 M3 competition. Pushing 640+hp with full bolt ons. (Boost leak due to my own install Jorge fixed flawlessly, full brake fluid flush, oil changes, preventative maintenance) 2004 BMW 330XI. (All maintenance, cracked windshield replacement.) read more

A father and son team that are honest, hard working mechanics. I took my Subaru to the dealership. The dealership said I needed a repair that costs over $3000! I googled what the issue was and none of the signs were seen. With Permuth being an independent mechanic with high reviews, I took my car here. The shop conducted a review by two different mechanics as a quality review measure. Nothing was found that the mischievous dealer said. Permuth even said they will do follow ups for free to make sure my car is in good running condition. What a gem we have in Coachella Valley with this honest mechanic! read more

Great quick service and affordable pricing. I'm pretty new to the area and was worried about finding a new mechanic. George was very helpful and was more than fair when it came to why my car needed and his prices. read more

These folks did a great job diagnosing and fixing a problem with our Jeep AC. Price was quite fair. Friendly, nice. They are understandably incredibly busy. Suggest calling for a time slot. Huge Thanks! While we waited we found a very close-by small restaurant: The Sunshine Cafe will write a nice review for that GREAT Place too. ET read more

Perfect customer service. Jorge completed the job on time and on budget. He explained the work thoroughly including what to expect for the first 50 miles of driving the new pads. Shop looks like a new waiting room is being built since they just moved in. read more

Had to write another review for this excellent auto mechanic shop. I once again came to this shop; this time to have my new BMW bumpers painted. I called the mechanic shop to get a quote on pricing and they gave me the best pricing I have seen. It was flat fee rate with no hidden charges or misleading pricing. They managed to paint both the front and rear bumpers within 2 days and it matched exactly like my OEM black paint. They even repaired a scratch on my front bumper when it was delivered to my home by the manufacturer. The owners are really friendly and they took great care of my bumpers. They are honest, humble, and fair when it comes to pricing. I highly recommend others to consider going to this shop. You will be happy with their work! Here are some before and after pictures of my car. read more

They have always been able to sort out all issues with my 1995 4Runner. They have kept that Jewel running very well for the last 7 years, and it runs great! read more

As a female, it's often hard to find a good mechanic. Did a full inspection, clearly explained the repairs needed, took the time to answer my questions and kept me posted on the progress. My car was returned clean and ready to go. Thank you! Awesome customer service. Fixed my 2013 Nissan 370z and gave me a fair price. read more

My car was repaired quickly. They were very knowledgeable about my old car and they repaired the problem without buying a new expensive part. read more

Read great yelp reviews. My engine check light went on. Diagnostic cost $139 their hourly rate. Since we were on a vacation our time was valuable. They ordered the part and installed it timely. Cost of repair was $358 and they gave me the diagnostic cost as a credit against their bill. Family run and honest. I would highly recommend them. They stayed late to get me car ready for our road trip back home. read more

They were terrific. Especially consider the holiday weekend when my need arose. Got me in and repair was done in time for my return trip of 375 miles. Super pleased. Professional, efficient and thoughtful business transaction. Def 5 stars. read more

Excellent work both in maintenance work and diagnosis/repair. Bottom line, trustworthy!

Was attracted by the reviews here on Yelp on this shop. 5-Stars. Recently moved to the area so decided to give them a try and dropped my car there. Not sure if I am the unlucky type or if I got a mechanic on a horrible day. Got my car back with (brace yourselves...); body damage (car was jacked up on the body not the frame), brake likes were disconnected from the bracket (car was there for a suspension upgrade), the engine cover and cow were loose inside the engine bay, and to top it all my ride control broken in the back (height sensor in the back axel). Had to take my car to the Dealership because I did not trust the service. And thank god I did. The Torque specs were completely off. Not a Single Bolt was torque properly, very dangerous stuff. I mean... Where are those 5-star reviews coming from? Do people reviewing this shop not know about cars and you can't tell good from bad technical service? The people there were good. Owner seems like a legit likable guy. But I just can't recommend this shop. read more

They are probably one of the most honest and reliable mechanics I have met in the valley. George and his father Estuardo, listen to what you're saying about your car and try to find out exactly what is wrong with your car. And they are price very reasonable. I strongly suggest them, they are a great and honest business. read more

Really professional help here at Permuth Auto Care!

really kind shop that helped me out when i was driving thru the area and my a/c went out. they were quick and fairly priced. was in a pickle of a situation and came in overwhelmed but the staff really helped me out! read more

The only drawback as a customer is that Permuth is always busy due to their excellent work. I'm always short on time so I have taken my car to other shops that leave me regretting my decision. Stay away from Firestone, Midas and Noe's. They aren't trustworthy or they are just incompetent and or both. read more

Jorge and his crew are awesome!!! He was very thorough and figured out exactly what was wrong w our Mercedes that no one else seemed to be able to figure out. They specialize in European makes, and he was very fair with his pricing. I would highly recommend them. read more

This place not only helps with repairs but if you are an auto enthusiast of all sorts ( sports car, off roading, etc), they will help you plan your next adventure. They help review, plan, and customize your vehicle for whatever your next auto journey may be. This place should be your go to in an auto emergency, auto adventure, and honest auto advice. read more

Defiantly came through for me, I came to Palm Springs for the weekend from the Valley 818. The water pump went out in my Hummer H3 Friday Around 5pm I got it towed to Permuth needing it to be fixed by the following day. Long story short the job got done Jorge was very responsive when needed, very thankful I definitely recommend this auto repair shop to anybody reading this. read more

Took my Mazda 6 in for a new serpentine belt and idler at about 105,000 mile on the odometer. They replaced with good parts and showed me the old parts and offered to give them to me. Then I drove the car on a 2500 mile road trip. No problems at all. The shop doesn't look that great, but, they did a great job for me. Can't judge a book by it's cover. Very friendly staff, fluent in English and Spanish. I'd recommend them. read more
