Raul is so sweet! I needed my car serviced and Raul came highly recommended. I'm so glad I took my car to Raul's. He was kind, very communicative, and serviced my car for a good price. I trust him and will be taking my car back :) read more

Raul is great at communicating and being honest about the work your car needs! I understand he gets swamped with work and lets you know too so you can plan on coming in on another day so that he can put in the best attention to your cars problem. Him and his workers are very reliable and me and my father have been coming to him for any car issues or consultations we may have or need ! Great guy! read more

He was busy but I came with a small issue and he fixed it perfectly and didn't just rush it. He did an amazing job and quick very good quality read more

Best mechanic I've been to! Affordable honest and quick very hard to find a spot like this :)

Raul came recommended by an auto parts shop we trust. He has not disappointed. Yes, he's busy because he's good. Sometimes he has difficulty fitting you in, but he's worth the wait. He gets it done and gets it right without soaking you. Two thumbs up. read more

I was recommended Raul by a lady I met. I called him, took my Land Rover. He did a fantastic job replacing my cv joints and o2 sensors. Fair price and quick service! read more

I've never in my life been told by a business that they have to much work to do and that I should take my business elsewhere. Raul makes you feel like a burden. He's consistently overwhelmed by his work load and it leaks into his costumer service. I hope he just hires more people and gets the help he needs. I'd rather pay more to get my car fixed then to feel like I'm a bother. RAUL stop telling me your business is to busy as if that's a problem! That is a blessing ! Treat people better ! Hire more people ! And for the love of God stop turning down work ! read more

I was one of the first ones there when they opened their doors at nine I went in for a simple wheel bearing change he ordered the part turns out he ordered the wrong part so I had to wait another four hours for his mistake of not ordering the correct part so I was there for six total hours on a simple wheel bearing change to top it off AC in his building wasn't working I didn't even get an apology for him wasting my whole day. Had to reschedule all my appointments that day I had for a simple fix, which takes one hour also the audacity he told me I'm gonna have to change the back brakes when he did the brakes himself a few months ago trying to still get more money off of me. I do not recommend this place for anybody. read more

Been taking my cars to Raul for 2 years now and he never fails . He and he's team do an amazing job and hes very reasonable ! Definitely recommend Raul read more

Raul is great! I've went in there a few times to get quotes. He was able to look at my car quickly and give me a quote, and if he doesn't need to look he can quote you by phone. He is very busy but he will let you know when he can get to your car, and most likely at a better price than any other shop. Him and his guys knew exactly how to work on my car, even though it has a different suspension and is more time consuming than other cars. Before I even told him, he was able to spot out that the job would be a little more difficult with the rust on my car, but was willing to still do it for a great price! Very honest and trustworthy shop. read more

they have really good prices and good work, i got an oil change and it was a great deal and truck works perfect even a few months later

I was given a quote and timeline. Car was fixed the day he said it will be and for less than I was quoted. My car was pulling and running rough. Raul and his team fixed the issue...which wasn't what I went in for. There's pride/integrity in the work and HONESTY in their service! Go elsewhere. When you're tired of being overcharged and it seems there's always an issue after you head to a shop. Check out Rauls. read more

Raul runs a top notch shop. Straight forward and very reasonably priced. So incredibly happy my Jeep and I found our new local mechanic.

Raul provides excellent service and price. He is very professional and honest. I highly recommend this repair shop. read more

I had a great though simple experience with Raul and he did a FINE Job! I needed rear brakes done and needed to wait for them to be done. He started right away and got them done ASAP :) I'm shocked to see some bad reviews by others, but Raul treated me VERY WELL and I'll not hesitate to go back next time I need a mechanic! read more

I recommend everyone I know to him!!! Thank you for all the help and service your shop has provided for us Raul!!!! read more

Raul is the jam. A good friend of ours has used him for over 10 years, so when it was time to look for a reputable mechanic (it seems to be an ongoing search) we decided to give Raul a try due to our friends advice. When we first came to Raul we asked him to do whatever he needed to keep my lil ol' 2006 Toyota Corolla afloat for a one month road trip throughout 9 states. We trusted him so much we let him decide what work my car would need for that trek and we did not care about the price. Our bill was under $700 including parts and labor. I couldn't believe it! You almost want to tip him you feel he's giving you too much of a bargain! With all of that he changed my oil, replaced my breaks, changed my serpentine belt (which had been whistling for years), replaced windshield wipers, and a long list of other things. And guess what, my car made it and I'm still alive! Since then, we've gone to him for other mild things here and there and he has never disappointed. I am so grateful our hunt for an affordable trustworthy mechanic is OVER! Honest mechanics really do exist! read more

Wow. Just when you thought "honest mechanic" was an oxymoron. I would confidently recommend Raul to any one of my friends or family members. I was referred by my roommate and quickly realized we can trust him. He's quick, affordable and so so so sweet. Ive never felt like this when my car needs maintenance... Its usually like going to the doctor and waiting for bad news... But Raul let's me know what my car will be needing and about how long til I need it... He gives me an estimate on price and checks out everything else. I leave feeling like I'm aware of what I should expect from my car in the near future. When dealerships have told me I need thousands in repairs, Raul has fixed for $80. It's been 6 months since and my car hasn't had one issue. More recently, my moms radiator blew in the evening. He stayed open and stayed at his shop waiting for AAA to tow her car there. It was fully repaired the next day. :) read more

I have been going to him since I had my first vehicle back in 2011. It has been 10 years of reliable and great service to all my vehicles since. If you are looking for a honest hardworking mechanic this is your guy. read more

New customer please check your brakes if done at this area I came to this shop for a recommend & I had my front brakes done and also did my rotors on my car like a few months later I asked a neighbors to do my axle on my car and then when he performed the fix he told me that on my main brake pad was missing a bolt ! On my caliper read more

Great mechanic! Very knowledgeable and HONEST! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Raul is the best....my husband and I have been taking both cars to him for years. It's difficult to find an honest and fair mechanic, but we've found that in Raul. We trust him 100%! read more

This is the best mechanic I've ever been to. Not only is Raul a great mechanic he's a great person. This place is a diamond in the rough.

Great service, great price, super fast. This is the only place I've gone for years.

Very good mechanic , need to call before to see if he is available . He will take care of your problem for sure!

I've been here a few times for various family cars. Mostly encountered good experiences, but one that I question. He's done quite a bit of major work at reasonable rates. I believe him to be a good business member of our community, very personable, good English. I had him do a brake bleeding and I know its a two person job. I watched him in drivers seat pumping the brakes, his helper went around each wheel plugged in the bleed tube and collection "Gatorade bottle" (this bottle collection method is fine) problem was I was watching that the bottle never filled. I am very suspicious if it was actually done and fault his helper. I think he charged like $30 for it, so its not a deal breaker. I will however still go to him and always double check and ask for the old parts. read more

My car broke down and I was really stressing about finding somewhere that could fix it fast, as I needed transportation to work. I stumbled upon this place and it was the best price around by far(I called). Raul was really nice and knowledgeable about what was most likely wrong with the car. He finished exactly when he said he would and the car runs perfect now. Very very highly recommend! I'll def be back(hopefully not soon though haha) read more

Raul is so nice and the nice and not rude. The price is great compared to other Auto Services in Costa Mesa. Great service. I have been taking my cars for almost 4 years now and I find him very honest. I recommend going here. He takes his time with the cars and knows what's up. read more

This shop will take care of you. My daughter and I have no knowledge of cars, we had to trust Raul from the beginning to hopefully not overcharge us and to take care of our cars. Luckily, we trusted the right place! We've been going to his shop for a couple of years now and we are always satisfied with the work and price. Also, the work is always done super quickly. Highly recommend :-) read more

Place is a scam. Had to go in 3TIMES for a new transmission within 2MONTHS! (You would think that would of been a big enough hint that the transmission was not the problem) Thank goodness it came with a warranty but unfortunately Raul said he was not going to fix my car anymore cause it was waisting his time. (Is that even legal if it came with a 6month warranty?) Maybe you wouldn't of wasted your time if you actually took the time to see what's wrong with the car in the first place. I went in and said it was making the same noise it was when the last transmission blew out so he test drove it... For maybe 30 seconds then came back and said "no it sounds great". 2 days later I'm stuck on the side of the road once again waiting for a tow truck. Don't bother asking what's wrong with your car cause the only answer I ever got back was "I know the problem, I fix it" which clearly he didn't know and didn't fix. Never got any of my money back or was never offered to get the original issue fixed. So now I'll take my business elsewhere, where the mechanics know what they're doing. read more

first off i never write yelp reviews but in this case its very much needed,this pace is trash, beware of spending money here,because if something goes wrong,they are nowhere to be found.several times on the phone with the same raul, he was rude and never had time to fix what they did wrong. stay very far away from this greedy incompetent provider!! read more

Raul is most definitely the best mechanic there is. I would highly recommend him for any auto service. His staff is always really nice and they provide the best service And to top it up his prices are very low. read more
