      Waiting room
      Amber M.

      My initial review is posted; however, it's been manipulated. The photos were missing. I stand by initial review. I went to Placentia Super Service for a second opinion and the price of item was inflated from $156 to $2003 and they were trying to keep my car by calling me on the phone trying to shake me down for more money. The owner did call me but I refused to take my car back there after being swindled by them. I didn't believe my car needed all that work but it was a classic bait and switch. What happened to all the pictures I uploaded? No, I would never recommend this business.

      I got new tires from Costco and was referred here for an alignment. After the service, my steering wheel was off and pulling to the right, so I had to call and come back to get it fixed. I wasn't happy about needing a second visit for something that should've been done correctly the first time, but they did fix the issue when I returned. The waiting area is clean and comfortable, with snacks and drinks available. There's also a window to watch the technicians working. Overall, the service was good. In terms of price range it was about $180 for the alignment. I appreciate Ricky and Korean guy forgot his name but appreciate both of their help!

      The $25 latch I found myself, they quoted me $580 to replace this.

      Warning, if you are a woman, do not come here. They will attempt to rip you off‼ The latch on my car trunk broke, I found the part on eBay, brand new for $53, but I was being impatient and didn't want to wait 2 days for it to get shipped, so I took it to a couple shops to see if they could get the part the same day. This shop quoted me $580, which is so inflated compared to what the first shop quoted me. Mind you, I found the latch myself in Anaheim for $25, yes the part was used, but I managed to fix my car trunk myself in 20 minutes with a simple YouTube video and I know nothing about cars. Yes, they are friendly and helpful, but if they sense your desperation or if you look like you know nothing about cars, they WILL attempt to rip you off.

      I can't say enough good things about Ed and his team at Transmission Specialist…read more My Ford F-150 suddenly went into limp mode and was stuck in third gear, along with a few other issues. Since my truck was out of warranty, I wasn't sure where to turn. I reached out through Yelp and heard back from Ed almost immediately. He had a good idea of what might be wrong and invited me to bring the truck in for an assessment. After inspecting it, he identified damage (caused by rats) to the transmission wiring harness, which had unfortunately caused internal damage. He walked me through everything clearly and provided a very reasonable estimate for a full rebuild. Throughout the entire process, Ed was easy to communicate with, always professional, and genuinely helpful with his advice. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond after the repair. I was told this type damage might be covered under my comprehensive auto insurance. Ed then took the time to work directly with my insurance company--providing detailed documentation and expert insight. Because of his effort and experience, the claim was approved and the repair ended up being fully covered. That level of service is rare these days. I truly appreciate Ed's honesty, professionalism, and follow-through. He did exactly what he said he would do and then some. I wouldn't hesitate to come back or recommend him to anyone in need of transmission work.

I brought it back twice and both times I was told everything was fine. During the rebuild, they replaced (and charged additionally me for) replacing the transmission mounts, but a few days after I picked up my car, my motor mounts broke and the engine shifted while I was at a red light. I brought it back immediately and, after a test drive, I was told everything was fine. A separate shop found the entire engine was tilted, and I paid out of pocket several hundred dollars for their diagnosis and installation of replacement motor mounts - mounts I was told should have been replaced along with the others. I brought it back several months later because my car was hard shifting whenever I went downhill and the alternator continued making a high pitched noise. After a test drive on the flat roads around Santa Ana with Ed, was told that it shifted like butter. He advised me to warm up the car before driving, which has not helped at all. I was also promised that my alternator would be exchanged for the price of parts from O'Reilly and that it would be about a $150. I was ultimately charged me $429 for the third party alternator (definitely not a Denso) that makes high pitched whirring sounds when I press the gas pedal. Other minor issues: scratched my window tint and took 6 weeks to complete the work, fixing the alternator last and costing me 3 extra days of rental fees my insurance wouldn't cover. I ended up paying $1345 out of pocket to their shop and insurance covered $4000. Also, I incurred an additional several hundred dollars to the other shop to fix the motor mounts and for the extra days of rental. Ed is really nice and communication was not an issue. Overall, though, I did not have a great experience and I'm reminded of that daily when I drive my car over the hill to get to work, as the car will inevitably jolt as it shifts gears going downhill. It doesn't leave me a good feeling that the transmission repair will last. For this reason, I can't recommend this shop for transmission or general repair work.

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.

I was extremely stressed because dealing with vehicle problems was the last thing I wanted on my mind while trying to enjoy my vacation. I spent some time on Yelp reading reviews for several transmission shops before deciding to call Transmission Masters. One of the reasons I chose them was because they've been in business for more than 48 years and had consistently great reviews. I also like reading the one-star reviews because, let's be honest, you really can't please everyone. I just wanted to find an honest and trustworthy shop. I called and spoke with Ron right before closing time. He took the time to listen to everything I was experiencing, explained what he thought the issue could be, and told me to bring the van in the next morning. Their shop opens at 8:00 AM, but when I arrived around 7:45 AM, they were already there working on vehicles. When I walked in, Ron remembered our conversation from the previous day, which immediately made me feel comfortable. He scanned my van but didn't notice anything unusual. He reset my ECM and another setting, and thankfully that solved the problem. What impressed me the most was that Ron didn't charge me a dime for his time or help, even though I genuinely wanted to give him something for helping me out. I drove all the way from Disneyland back home to Northern California without a single issue afterward. Ron, if you happen to read Yelp reviews, I truly want to say THANK YOU for your time, honesty, and knowledge. You helped turn a very stressful situation into a positive experience, and I sincerely appreciate it.

I found Francis through an online search because of the many positive reviews, and during our first interaction he was friendly, professional, and seemed very knowledgeable. He ordered the part directly from Acura and quoted me a fair price. My car was ready the following day, but when I arrived to pick it up, Francis informed me that my vehicle had been involved in an accident while in his care. He explained that another driver had been speeding through the parking lot and crashed into him. He gave me the other driver's information, and I contacted him immediately. The other driver gave a very different version of events. He stated that he was backing out of a parking space and did not see Francis. He also told me that Francis provided his driver's license information but refused to share insurance information. Now, more than a month later, I still have a damaged vehicle and have not received insurance information from Francis despite multiple phone calls, text messages, and outreach from Mercury Insurance. I trusted this shop to take care of my car, not return it to me in worse condition and leave me responsible for a $500 deductible. What has been most disappointing is the lack of accountability and urgency. Francis acted as though this situation was not a major concern and repeatedly assured me that the other driver would "take care of it," which has not happened. According to the other driver, Francis even asked him to change the story about what happened. I chose this business because of its strong reviews and the image Francis presents, but my experience has been extremely stressful and disappointing. I believe customers deserve honesty, transparency, and responsibility when their vehicle is in someone else's care.
