Angie H.

This is my second review of Saticoy Auto Center. It's under new management and came to service a battery change. The service was done within 45 minutes. They gave me the best value better than the dealership. The staff were polite and friendly. The owner Hamlet was very helpful he made several phone calls to get me the best possible price.

I've been a loyal customer here for many years, which makes it all the more difficult to share this feedback. When my check engine light came on, I brought my car in for a diagnostic evaluation, paying for what I hoped would be an accurate assessment. Unfortunately, the initial issue was misdiagnosed as a faulty intake manifold--something I later learned rarely fails or needs repair. Another mechanic later identified the actual issue: the battery, which your team had assured me was fine. After replacing the battery, my car now runs perfectly. This leads me to believe I was misled. I paid nearly $1,500 for unnecessary parts and labor, yet the original problem persisted. Within less than a week of the repair, not only did the check engine light come back on, but a new issue--"Tire Pressure Monitor Inoperative"--appeared, something that wasn't present before. Why do we pay for diagnostic evaluations if the diagnosis isn't accurate? This experience has eroded my trust in your service. I've decided to take my car elsewhere, where I can rely on accurate diagnostics and repairs without constant return visits or wasted money. It's disappointing, but feedback like this is the reason platforms like Yelp exist. I hope this helps improve the experience for future customers.

Recently took my wife's GLS450 to this shop for fluid checks, and tire rotations. The guys did a phenomenal job. Hamlet, the owner of the shop even offered me a good discount. Affordable, and everything was done with quality. Highly Recommend.

Hamlet is the man! Honest, affordable and accountable. I went in for an oil change, but I could trust the guy.

I have a Lexus HS 250h and my AC is not working. Would you be able to check it out and give me an estimate?

What is the price for a smog check?

Is $40 the final price?

That was almost 20 years ago I drove my little broken down Toyota into Seto's humble little auto repair shop.

I had a great experience at S&S Smog Check Star Test Only with Jack! As soon as I pulled in around…read more10 AM, a UPS truck arrived right before me for a smog check too, which told me this place is trusted by locals. Jack immediately greeted me, told me it would be about 15 minutes, and invited me to wait inside while I paid my DMV registration online. The office is currently being updated, but it was clean, smelled fresh, and had plenty of seating. By the time I finished my registration, my car was already being prepared for service. Jack has been in business since the 1980s and at this location for the last 10 years, and you can tell he knows his stuff. He was friendly, funny, and easy to talk to. Yelp sent my request to five smog shops, and Jack was the first to respond and had the best pricing. He even took the time to explain what a "Star certified smog" meant when another shop said they weren't. Quick, stress-free, and great customer service. If you need a smog check, it's definitely worth the drive to see Jack!

So as I pick up my registration mail, so I can log online and pay on the dmv website, I realize I needed a smog check. I was searching for a spot nearby that would get me in and out fairly quickly. I used the Yelp search engine and Jack was one of the first people to respond. His prices were also pretty affordable and he was flexible. I asked to come in on a Saturday which he agreed to but I later needed to come in on Friday instead. It wasn't an issue at all. I drove over during a late lunch break and I was met with warmness and a lot of humor. Jack was very friendly, personable and while he was helping another customer, he let me know I could wait in the office and he would be with me shortly. The service took maybe 5-7 minutes and I was out of there in 10-15mins. As Jack was handing me my paperwork, he mentioned that the smog certification was already on its way to the DMV. Thank you for your quick and thorough service! I paid my registration the next day with no issue. Stay funny Jack!

Exceptional Service, Integrity, and Trust -- Highly Recommend Ray at 101 Auto Repair…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ray and the team at 101 Auto Repair. I've been bringing my vehicles to Ray since the early 2000s, and he has consistently proven himself to be honest, knowledgeable, and someone I can completely trust. I drive a 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport, and now that I'm past the factory warranty, it is incredibly important for me to know I have a mechanic who will give me accurate information and fair pricing--without taking advantage of the situation. Ray has always done exactly that. Over the past few months, I've had a few issues arise. When my car overheated and was losing coolant, Ray quickly diagnosed a leaking hose and repaired it the very same day, getting me safely back on the road at a fair price. Another time, when the check engine light came on, he identified that it was simply the battery and replaced it efficiently. What I appreciate most is his honesty. Just yesterday, my check engine light came on again, and after running diagnostics, Ray explained that the system was detecting vapor from the refueling area and that I likely just needed to tighten my gas cap. He could have easily charged me for unnecessary work, but instead, he gave me the correct guidance--and didn't charge me a thing. He has even helped me with small things, like replacing the battery in my key fob, at no cost. Ray is the kind of mechanic everyone hopes to find--skilled, fair, honest, and genuinely committed to taking care of his customers. When you leave his shop, you feel confident and secure knowing your vehicle was serviced correctly. If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic who will treat you with integrity and respect, I highly recommend Ray and 101 Auto Repair.

Worst place to go to. Prices are ridiculously high. Will…read morenever return. The dealer charged me way cheaper than this mechanic.
