We recently had service performed on one of our work vans and one of our trucks, and the experience was great from start to finish. They arrived ahead of schedule, got right to work, and completed everything in a timely manner. They handled the maintenance professionally and also took the time to inspect our van and help identify a few issues that may need attention down the road. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. They were knowledgeable, easy to work with, and answered all of our questions. Everything was done neatly and efficiently. They cleaned up after themselves, left the work area spotless, and didn't leave any mess behind. Reliable, professional, and thorough service. We will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest and dependable vehicle maintenance and repairs. read more

This is my third time using SoCal Gearheadz, and I finally need to leave the review they deserve. I own a 2009 Smart Car. If you own one, you know the struggle. Because they are built by Mercedes-Benz, most shops refuse to touch them, or they want to charge an outrageous $150 to $200 just to diagnose the vehicle. I actually stumbled across the SoCal Gearheadz Instagram page while sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. I reached out, and they came to me the very next day. They diagnosed the issue quickly and fixed it without a hitch. They are responsive, reliable, and perform high-quality work at incredibly reasonable prices. The team is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. There is absolutely no upselling or funny business, just simple, straightforward, honest mechanics. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

So I needed some spark plugs replaced on my car but I have some trust issues with mechanics (burnt twice already on upselling and unnecessary fixes by other mechanics). Started looking at Brea Buzz...and lo and behold...Socal Gearheadz name kept popping up by satisfied customers. I had to scroll the internet for info...fb...and got their number, got a quote and an appointment. Elyse and Mitch are a couple mechanic and they were both awesome. They were very friendly and while fixing my car...I was asking them questions and they were just answering them as honest as they can. They also trained their kids to do brake jobs which I think is the coolest. If I hadn't just fixed my brakes...I would have definitely got them to fix my brakes. I love supporting small businesses like these specially if it's a family owned business. They did the work fast and efficiently...every movement was not wasted on the job they were working on. Best pricing ever. Super duper fair. You can't beat it. You just can't. Socal Gearheadz will now be my go to mechanics from now on. You guys reading this should also give them a message for an appointment. They also drive an awesome truck lol Thank you very much again guys! read more

Had the SoCal Gesrheadz out to handle some maintenance I'd been having a hard time getting around with my crazy travel schedule. They came by and got it all knocked out. Quick and efficiently for a very fair price. Owning a business I know what labor and operating costs and they were very fair for the quality of work they do. Very happy and will be using them for my fleet moving forward. read more

Phenomenal service! We've used this team before and they just saved the day again. My son's car stopped running and even though they had a scheduling issue with their tech, the owners came out themselves just two days later to get the job done on their own time. The car runs beautifully now. Truly awesome people who care about their customers. 100% recommend! read more

Great group of ppl. Had them work on my 2021 Chevy silverado. My truck needed all its fluids flushed and replaced along with the necessary filters. Not only did they do great work but saved me some money. Me being a disabled veteran money can get tight at times and taking my truck to the dealership is usually out of the question because its either fix the truck or eat and pay rent. Definitely found my go to ppl for my truck. Thank you again. read more

These guys are a lifesaver. Needed brakes done on my Camaro which I couldn't do due to surgery. They were punctual and friendly.

Had the pleasure of meeting Elyse and Mitchell today, the owners of this mobile mechanic service. They're teaching their (assuming) teenage boys the ways of mechanics, and had the boys do the brake service. Very thorough and trustworthy workers, who pride themselves on honesty and transparency. Gotta love a family oriented business! read more

Helpful, honest and trustworthy. Great value and the service is top notch. Great mobile mechanics. read more

I had a great experience with this company. They came and replaced cv axles in my car and got the car running nice and smoothly and fixed all issues. They were prepared and got the job done efficiently and left no trace of mess. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and would call them again. 10/10 Recommend! read more

I found them on Instagram and did some research and saw a lot of 5 stars review, and I am so glad I called them.

Got the work done at my work location saving me time. Will definitely call them for any car service I can't do myself. read more

SoCal Gearheadz is the real deal. My driver side window came off track and wouldn't roll up, and I needed it fixed fast. These guys were super prompt with communication, explained everything clearly, and had a technician out right away. The repair was done quickly and professionally, and best of all is their prices beat any local competitor I called. No stress, no upsell, just fast, honest, high-quality work. If you're dealing with a window issue or ANY auto repair, don't waste time calling around -- go with SoCal Gearheadz. read more

Cannot recommend enough! Super knowledgeable, hardworking, and reasonably priced. Their garage, Frankenstangz in Orange is new but absolutely bopping with business. They still treated us like a top priority and were on top of communication the whole time. Did not gouge us on pricing and had a few options for how to pay. Will definitely be back for future service needs, especially once they're STAR certified for smog checks. Love that they have the garage AND mobile service if you're in a jam! Great people who do great work. read more

They are the best! Came out to work on my girlfriend's jeep and their tech was super helpful and thorough. Finding honest mechanics is damn near impossible but you're never have to worry about it with this duo. And they are gonna help me learn how to work on my own truck! Who does that?! read more

I have been using them for several years and cannot speak more highly of Mitch and Elyse. They are amazing people and very honest and knowledgeable! They always make time to come work on our cars and have no doubt saved my family a lot of money! I would give them 6 stars if I could. Thank you guys for all that you do and for always making our vehicles a priority!!!! read more

Need a honest mechanic/s? Look no further! Elyse and Mitch are IT. I found them via Instagram 2 years ago and decided to have them come by to do some work. Not only are they incredibly cool people, but their prices are fair and their work is top-notch while maintaining great communication. What's the best part though? They can come to you making it super convenient, especially if you have kids. I know they opened their own shop recently and I'll be paying them a visit soon for some additional work. Thanks again you two! read more

Love, love this duo. Have used them on all the cars the last few years. Today was an oil change as well as front brake pads and rotors for the family car. Great value, on time - even early! And you can't beat the fact that I can stay at work all day and not have to take time off or my weekends to get the work done. They came to me! read more

This husband and wife duo are the real deal! not only are they super knowledgeable and professional but they are really down to earth and easy to get along with. I've had my diesel truck, my shop truck, my wife's car, and several of my family's cars serviced by them. I have never felt cheated or short changed by their work and have always felt like their prices were more than fair. They will definitely be the only automotive techs to service our vehicles. read more

I needed oil changes on both cars (diesel and a hybrid). From the beginning, the communication and punctuality were great! They had both cars done in less than an hour, and less than what the dealership was charging me! Thanks, you've got my future business!!!! read more

Wonderful experience! I loved working with Elyse and Mitch. I needed a pretty comprehensive tuneup for my car and was able to get a detailed, itemized quote from them by contacting them through Instagram messenger. When I confirmed I was good with the price and was ready to move forward, we switched to texting and set a date and a time. They charged me a small fee to drive from Fullerton out to Long Beach but it was so worth it! They were courteous, communicative, and prompt. They brought all the parts and fluids with them so I didn't have to provide a thing. As they finished, Elyse texted me some photos of some wear and tear they had discovered on my shocks, and recommended I get them replaced sooner rather than later. They weren't at all pushy about it -- their tone was of education, not salesmanship. They also took my car for a drive and were able to identify the source of a humming sound it had been making -- something I hadn't even asked them to do! The best part, though, was that they did all of this at my home! I could just go about my day and not have to disrupt my entire schedule to deal with car stuff. Their rates were cheaper than what I would have paid at a traditional shop, too. I will definitely work with them again. read more

So grateful to SoCal Gearheadz for the transmission work they did today on my car while I worked! It is a blessing to get my car the kind of care it needs without having to run around to do one more errand. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have one less thing to do. Thank you both for all the work you've done on my and my husband's cars! If he trusts your work, I do too! read more

10/10 been a repeat customer all the way back when they only offered mobile services. Quick and to the point and get the job done and, def worth the money . They even post pictures of the job so if ur curious like i am but sometimes Dont have the tools to do it , its nice to see what was wrong with. They also take time to explain so it doesn't feel like a pure transaction, great service and id recommend to anyone looking for a service described above . They now have a place in case you don't need mobile services which i think is nice . Don't sleep on these guys they for sure are someone you call when you want something done . read more

Having used SoCal Gearheadz twice now, I'll keep it simple: - Very responsive to initial inquiries about estimates/repairs. - On time for scheduled appointments. - Excellent work without trying to up-sell unnecessary parts or repairs. - More than fair pricing. - They come to you to do repairs... convenience deluxe! - And a nice couple of people as well. Pretty much everything you wouldn't expect from auto mechanics. read more

These guys rock. They have worked more than 10 jobs for me. Very honest and super prices.

Great, friendly and affordable service! Honest working couple! I've gotten several oil changes and recommended them to others for various job and always get positive feedback. read more

Got referred by a coworker of mine over 3 years ago. I was told by a friend that I would need a new alternator and was going to cost an arm and a leg so I was calling all around for estimates.I messaged them on instagram and told them I was pretty sure needed a new alternator. They gave me a quote and it was cheaper then the shops I called and they said they were mobile! they got back to me and from the beginning I just got really good vibes. They showed up on time and were so nice! Shortly after I got a text and they had great news! I in fact did NOT need to replace the alternator, so they returned it and replaced a belt. It was a quick fix and super affordable! From that moment I was sold! I feel like anyone else would of wanted the higher paying service said nothing and replaced it but nope. They were honest and super helpful! I have since recommended them to all of my friends and family everyone thanks me! They just opened a shop in orange , I live in Cerritos and I don't mind making the drive. Totally worth it. Great people-Great Mechanics! Thank you for keeping my car running!!! FYI I drive a 2006 Toyota matrix with 260,000 miles and it's still going strong! read more

2nd time using SoCal Gearheadz. They are great. They replaced all 4 of my brakes pads and rotors. They used their discount on parts and saved me $100 and charged $200 in labor. Far less than other shops were quoting me, they showed me everything they took off before they replaced it. And I worked from my home office the whole time. read more
