    My car has had one problem after the other over the past couple of months, so I have been to a few different shops around Fullerton. Placentia Automotive seemed to know their stuff. I told them a brief history of my car and what problem I was currently facing. The man checked the car and came back with what needed to be fixed. He gave me a decent, fair quote. They put in a call for my parts, started working on it and sent me on my way within a few hours. I will definitely be bringing my car here again.

    This place is amazing. Came in on 11/20/2013 for a oil change. 30min and $30 later, it was done and over with. I'm a VERY happy camper. This place is awesome.

They called me almost everyday to update me on the process, any costs, or timing concerns. Gino handles the front and was extremely personable, helpful, and honest throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and never made me feel pressured into unnecessary repairs. Jose did the actual work on my car and did a fantastic job -- my Fiat is running great! My ac was causing lots of issues and has been running cold for a week now! I am always hesitant to have just anyone work and the Fiat but he clearly knew the car and specific details. It's really refreshing to find a shop that feels trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their customers. I would absolutely recommend Gino and Jose, especially to anyone looking for someone comfortable working on European cars. I'll definitely be coming back!

Gino, great guy at the front desk is the first great sign. He says Jose is one of the nicest people ever, couldn't agree more. Definitely helped me out while I was going through a lot. I made the EASIEST mistake known to cars, and they could of easily overcharged me, but didn't. And honestly for that, I am so grateful. I didn't make the best first impression, but they did. Think I found my new mechanic. If vou liked what vou read and need to get your car fixed, come to Orange Empire Auto!

He is Neel the owner (as you might've guessed) of this establishment on Imperial Hwy, which is thankfully not too far from us. He diagnoses quickly, gets the job done efficiently, charges reasonably compared to other mechanics we've gone to in the area, and above all is a man of integrity--he's allowed us to pay for certain repairs days later to make sure our car is running properly first. He is transparent about his shop's limitations (they don't do German cars but refer us to highly rated shops nearby). He is clearly very experienced and knows how to weigh the best repair options, especially for older vehicles. I plan on relying on Neel for years to come. Cheers!

They were busy but insured me it would only be about two hours for an oil change, break inspection, and tire rotation. Got a call about an hour later from Neel himself saying my Rav 4 was ready to go and didn't hassle me about doing any additional work, which I feel you get every time at a mechanic shop. It was a great feeling to just get the service and feed back you requested. Thanks Neel and Hector for the honestly, professional input, and transparency. Look forward to working with your company in the future. Only downside is parking. Be patient and you'll find one.

Thankfully, while we were on our way to buy the part, Mr. Veraj called us to let us know we actually only needed a simple connector which cost us less than $25 instead. He then lowered the cost of his labor he'd quoted since it would be a simpler fix as well. He was very friendly, helpful and fair. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family. The shop is also conveniently located just a block from downtown Fullerton. Lots of parking and space for the tow truck to drop off a vehicle.

As parents whose daughter is currently away at College and not living close to us, we tend to worry about her and her vehicle. However, since we have been taking the VW Beetle to Mike's Foreign Car repair, it's one less thing for us to worry about and we know it's in great care. Not only do we see their expertise, efficiency and pride in their work but we also experience great professionalism when we call and during the day when they give us updates. I also want to mention that Mike's Foreign Cars prices are fair especially for a college student in a college town. Thank Mike's Foreign Car for always going out of your way for taking care of our daughter and her vehicle. We truly appreciate everything you and the other staff have done for her.

The pricing is always fair, appointments are easy to get, and the work is done right the first time. Daniel is especially great to work with.

If you're looking for a shop that specializes in German vehicles and values customer service as much as quality repairs, I highly recommend Mike's Foreign Car.

They took the time to explain the repair, confirmed the diagnostic code, and even pointed out a few things I should do to help my Prius last longer. They noticed my hybrid battery cooling fan was missing after I told them I just had it "replaced" at another shop. That's the kind of information you don't usually get from a repair shop. They ended up not needing to drop the subframe, so they adjusted the labor instead of charging me for work they didn't have to do. It still took the amount of time they said it was going to take, but still discounted me a little bit which I thought was cool. I also had them do an oil change while it was there, and even that was less expensive than what I normally pay at places like Jiffy Lube or Valvoline. If you own a Prius or any hybrid, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. More than anything, I left feeling like they genuinely know these cars and took the time to educate me, not just fix it. I'll definitely be bringing my Prius back if I ever need anything else.

I wouldn't trust them to change my oil.
