    Dishonest liar right here!!

    The guy quoted $170 for 2 tires total on the phone. Mediocre tires that cost $70 each online. I come in person and said I needed an alignment and I said thats fine. My total ended up being $289 with tax. And he said oh I have to $15 charge per tire. And I said why didnt you tell me that in the call? You didnt tell me that at all until the very end. Thats the mf problem. When you say one thing and try to add fees that you NEVER mentioned in the earlier communication. And he tried to lie and gaslight to cause confusion right in front of my face and acted like a total immature kid, it was embarassing. The family before me told me the SAME thing that the guy tried to upcharge them and what they said on the phone was not the same in person. Big effing flag. Learn to be a man and communicate with honesty than be a liar. I couldve bought some better tires and pay the same price. It cost nothing to hold yourself accountable and respond like a man. I hope you get karma for that if thats how you speak to customers. Terrible communication. ALSO, he failed to write the services on my receipt, which an auto shop is supposed to, and he gave an ugly attitude for me asking to do so. If you're a girl, RUN. Dishonest people who dont care about providing real and genuine service. Shitty person and service. & dont be afraid to get LEGAL involved if this shop is doing suspicious activity.

    Needed new tires for my 4Runner, and came across Pioneer Automotive on a whim. Picked up some Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws for an AMAZING price with mounting/balanced included! Ivan and his team got me out of there in 20 minutes. If you're needing tires, this is your place. It's my go-to tire shop from now on. Recommending Pioneer Automotive to EVERYONE.

    Found this killer tire place on OfferUp and decided to get all 4 new tires for one of my cars. They are so quick, it's unbelievable! And check this out, ALL 4 new tires for only $220 out the door!! Like what?? They were professional, super courteous, and did an excellent job!!! Next time you need tires, I highly recommend this place! Give them a shot, I know you'll have a great experience!

    Amazing service

    I've been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time. No shops in Orange County would offer this kind of customer service and price. Everything is unbeatable and the customer service and warranty is amazing.

    Found this place on OfferUp and decided to give them a try. Got a full set of tires done in under 20 minutes. Kevin was great and the prices are perfect. If you need cheap tires, this is the place to go

    Getting it dialed. Came here cause they can do it right away.  For a decent price too. Hopefully.

    See all

    While not as stylish and urban as some of the other shops, the owners are kind, hard working and honest to the extreme.

I want to thank Jay who helped people the day I went. The facility was clean and organized, so I felt very comfortable about coming here. They are next to car wash and a gas station. Also, Stonewood Mall is across the way too. The had coffee and snacks, I loved that they had Kirkland coffee pods, oh heck yea. The waiting area is not huge but enough. Jay was very knowledgeable and helpful; I overheard him helping people out. As far as value, I felt I got a good value, as I was shopping around. I was given a time estimate, and a time estimate if I wanted additional service and they were very good about meeting that.

When I pointed out the banner at their shop that says "Free Brake Inspection" and their website which states Free Brake Inspection, he retorted that their website also states they do free smog checks, but he states they do not even do smog. (When relooking at their website, they do not mention free smog anyways.) Lorenzo stated the brake inspections were not free and the website got it wrong. When I asked him for the person in charge he stated Erika and Ezekiel were in the parts dept. It is a shame Lorenzo was the only advisor handling a long line at check in. He stated Corporate was aware of the brake inspection charge discrepancy. If they are aware and he is aware, why try to charge a customer for a "Free" brake inspection? After leaving our car here, we heard the next day of a list of repairs needed. Lorenzo stated they believed our brake caliper was seized but could not confirm it. He attempted to charge us an additional $289.47 for the brake caliper service and $152.10 for the brake fluid service in addition to the brakes and rotor replacement service charge we were expecting. The issue is that when we asked Lorenzo if he could confirm if the brake caliper was truly needed to be replaced, he could just say he highly suggests replacing it. From the beginning, this place was trying to scam. I reached out to Alex's Auto Repair in Cypress, who confirmed they could verify if the brake caliper would be needed. Alex's Auto Repair stated there would be no need to waste extra money if he could confirm the issue. Alex's Auto Repair serviced us, and simply lubricated our caliper without us needing to pay over $800 for the whole brake service like Downey Care Care was quoting us. Alex's Auto Repair took the time to verify the issue, charging us less than half of what Downey Care Care center wanted to charge. My issue with this location is they would have happily overcharged us for a service that was not needed. Take your car to Alex's Auto Repair, save your time and money. While Downey Care Care Center was busy playing around, we had to spend extra time and money booking a rental car. (Photo on the left is from Alex's Auto Repair who took the time to verify the concern and lubricate our caliper. The photo on the right includes one page of many pages of services recommended by Downey Care Center including replacing the brake caliper and fluid exchange had we chosen to go that route.) Makes me question if the remaining suggested repairs (not all pictured below) by Downey Care Care Center were even necessary.

I reached out to Refined Auto with the same request, and it was a more reasonable price, especially since I had no idea if I needed to do anything to my rotors. My dad was present while Cesar worked on my car, and my dad gave me such a glowing review of how Cesar worked. My dad has not been able to stop talking about how Cesar did an amazing job on my car, how clean he works, how he keeps his tools, and his communication. My dad was so impressed with the quality of work Cesar provided on my car that he decided to get a quote for replacing his rotors. When Ceasr finished on my car, he let me know that my brake fluid was not in good condition. He drained my brake fluid and replaced it with new fluid. He explained to me in detail that brake fluid should not be topped off. I had no idea, and apparently, my dad didn't know either, and we had topped it off because it was low. Now, I know, for future reference, that when it's low, I should replace my brakes. I appreciate the work that Cesar did on my car and his communication. I will absolutely use his service again and recommend him to friends and family.

Zeph didn't try to upsell me on items or make me feel inferior for having any questions - he was honest and professional both times, and i look forward to continuing my business with him. all together the service has been stellar and the price has been a great value for the quality of service you get. the photo inspection report alone help put me at ease because i didn't just have to trust the mechanic's word - he showed me, and documented it all.

Neither the remote control nor the power button could open it. Other shops suggested the problem might be with the shocks, motors, electrical wiring, or a combination of these. However, Zeph referred me to the relevant pages in the owner's manual that explained how to turn the PBD on if it was off. By following these instructions, I activated the PBD and was able to open the trunk using both the remote and the power button. My experience as a client was excellent--not only due to the technician's expertise, but also because of their customer-focused approach in helping to find solutions. I highly recommend Top Line Automotive.
