Competent, honest, reliable and fair owner with reasonable rates. He fixed a complex problem that other shops quoted 2x to 2.5x, right on time. I trust this tech. read more

This is the last place I will come for car repair. I have had it with the owner (Tuong) who is rude, hostile and abrasive to the customers. He seems to forget that it is the customers who pay for his business to survive. He looks and talks down to the customers constantly and berates the customer for the customer's car problems. After coming to him for repairs several times (mainly due to proximity), I have gone somewhere else where I am treated with respect and courtesy , even if I have to drive a bit farther and pay more (though Tuong's price is not that competitive). I do not need the aggravation and the rudeness, particularly when I am paying. Tuong needs to understand that he can't treat people that way, let alone his paying customers. He may know more about cars, but he sure needs to improve his social skills. read more

The owner does work for really cheap and it's really good.. not sure how he even makes enough money since he's charging so cheap for labor.. Professional work. Never had a problem after he fixes something ! Highly recommended read more

My family and I have been going to Mike @ TKP Auto for over 20 years now. Honest mechanic, great work and prices are great as well. Highly recommended mechanic. read more

I was referred to TPK Auto in Westminester by my mother. My mother whom is now deceased use to call Mike at TPK "Her Mechanic" or tell me "You should take it to my guy, he will take care of you..." and was my mother ever right. Mike at TPK Auto new my mother by Susan "The Mountian Lady" I've been taking all my vehicles to TPK for over 15yrs now and I'm sure my mother used him 15 years before me helping our family for over 30 years now. He always get the work done at the best price available but what stands out the most about Mike and TPK Auto is how he took care of my mom and always found a away to help her and stay in her budget as she only worked part time and volunteered. He would get her from Arrowhead / Big Bear area all the way to Westminester, Orange County. Stories of many quick fixes that he never charged her for but just has the Lind heart to help others and still stay in business. My mother often bought gifts to say thank you since he would not take her money at times. Ill never forget his help with my Mother and she alawys recommended "her guy" at TPK Auto and now so do I. Thanks E.J read more

TKP Auto - My Mother " The Mountian Lady" - Auto Repair Near Me - Westminster, California

Review 302 After a fantastic string of mechanics in San Diego, I've hit some duds recently. One, though nice, forgot to put the cap back on after changing my oil. They were very nice to pay for my engine cleaning so I'm not going to name names. With TKP Auto, my luck seems to be changing. TKP was much much cheaper than I expected for my 60,000 mile check-up and I understood and saw all they did to my car. I'd trust them with my routine check-ups from now on, which is also cheaper than most places. This place is pretty busy and from what I can tell, they have long-time customers. They don't take appointments (it's first come first serve). Correct me if I'm wrong. read more

Word on the street is that Chu Tuong is accepting less customers because he's trying to retire and spend more time with his family. Luckily he took me in to replace my brake pads and rotor at a fraction of the price that was quoted to me from a different auto shop! (Allen Tire Company quoted $500 for replacing front brake pads and rotor; he charged me much less and replaced both front and back pads for me!! Lol bless this man) Brought my car in at 10:30AM on a Saturday, he called me back five hours later to say it was done. Officially found my favorite mechanic :') read more

My go to mechanic, the owner (Tuong/Tong)! He always gives me a fair price and is very timely. He knows that I am a student, and is very reasonable. On occasion he would do things free of charge for me/next to nothing. Honest mechanic, would recommend! read more

TKP Auto - Yum! Nostalgic candy jar - Auto Repair Near Me - Westminster, California

Tuong Is the man!! I have been coming to him for over 10 years - not only are his prices below what most mechanics will charge you, he will never do work that does not need to be performed. He is honest and reliable. That is a very rare in this industry. I have been completely ripped off by other mechanics in the past. Thank you for all the great service TKP Auto read more

Mr. Tng is experience, honest, straight forward troubleshooting to fix problems. I had been with this shop over 10+years. This is where you want to be at first place. Thanks read more

Bac Tuong knows his way around cars and is a very genuine, down to earth person. He always takes care of me as if I were family. Excellent service, more than fair pricing. read more

TKP does it again!!! These guys are not only the best mechanics around, they are extremely honest and very customer orientated. True professionals. Ive had multiple cars in here from everything from a smog check to a Transmission and have never found a better deal in town. TKP has never let me down, glad to give these guys my business. read more

TKP Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Westminster, California

Mike is wonderful. I am one of the long time customer, for 24 years. He's treating us like family and taking care like family.

edit* ouch ouchhhhh, yelp removed my original review because it "falls outside their content guideline." after carefully reading through those, i'll re-post my review, but without the inappropriate content; just the consumer experience. highly highly NOT recommended, please save yourself the trouble and inconvenience and AVOID this place because there are a LOT of mechanics in this area. the mechanic, tung, helped me (though i could barely consider it "help"), and he just had an unprofessional demeanor and treated me like crap...worse experience i have EVER encountered as a customer. my mother asked him to order brake discs/pads/whatever from him so he did that for us at the local toyota..i went to toyota to pick up my part and (per my mom's request), i went back to him to ask him if he could check the part + look at my car to make sure it was the correct part. HE GAVE ME HELLA SHIT FOR THAT. yelling at me in informal vietnamese and broken english (i HATE when people use "tao" and "may" in vietnamese, SO LOW CLASS) , he told me, "i don't need to look at your car, i know it's the right part. so what you want me to do? NO, i am not going to look at anything! how much was it?!?" "i don't know..i looked at the invoice, the person looked at the invoice as well and it doesn't say...it just said you can come pay them on monday because they're closed now." keep in mind, at this point, after enduring his angry ranting and crap, i was still politely speaking in vietnamese. "WHAT?? HOW CAN you not know how much it is?? GOD, you people are SO HEADACHE (no, my grammar is not improper, that's how he said it), SO COMPLICATED WASTE MY TIME and bother me BLAH BLAH BLAH" more angry b*tching as we stormed to his computer to look up the price of the part...all this while everyone there stared at me. so awkward, and very rude. he stomped back to me with more anger, "I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT IS. MY COMPUTER DOESN'T SAY. this is your fault, you should know how much it costs. so WHAT YOU WANT?? you don't want the part then??" at this point, i was beyond pissed so i yelled back at him, "UHM NO, when did i say i didn't want it??! and YOU ordered it, shouldn't YOU know how much it costs?!? forget it, just give me the damn part so i can go home and take care of it myself. " "OK FINE, you BETter remember to pay me on monday." where's the respect and professionalism? please avoid this jerk who clearly only seemed to care about his damn money. not a trustworthy mechanic...and since auto maintenance can add up, you definitely want to go to one that you know won't milk you for money because that's all they're concerned about. better, yelp? no inappropriate content, no violation of privacy, no hearsay or secondhand information. just pure consumer experience. read more

I love going to my mechanic. My entire family has been going to him for at least 10 years. He always gives me a fair price on all of my services. I once needed to change my lights and he gave me the biggest and brightest ones and he did not charge me for labor! The other day my BF needed a a new light and he just gave it to him for free!! I know I can trust him, you should too. :D read more

Got super offended when I tried to haggle with him and told me to leave.

Chu Tuong is the best mechanic around! I go to him for everything (smog check, oil change, changing battery/lights/brake). He is very honest and straightforward and will tell you exactly what your car need. A full synthetic oil change with Mobile 1 along with thorough car inspection, tire pressure check and washer fluid refill is $50. Bottom line- if you need a very quick, convenient, high quality oil change and service- this is your place! read more

I have never been to a mechanic that has told me what was wrong with the car and how I can go home an fix it myself if it's a small fix that I can do myself, ie replacing a fuse etc. He is the best mechanic and I have recommended him to ALL of my friends and family that no longer have their car under factory warranty. Good mechanics are hard to find, and when you do find one, you stick with them. I've stuck with TKP Auto and Mike the mechanic for the last 8 years. I highly recommend him. read more

Was referred by a neighbor... Good mechanic.... ask for Tong the owner aka Michael... brought our 2004 acura tl because car woulden't start. Asked the owner how much for new starter and I was quoted $180 for universal starter or $210 for factory/ original starter. I thought it was a fairly good deal. Decided to go with original factory starter. All in all Tong was honest and very nice guy, joking with him was cool, will be visiting again on my next major problem. read more

This is my Go To Mechanic, any of the bad reviews for this should be deleted. Because Mike the main mechanic is fantastic! His service is honest not like any other mechanic who will rip you off for your money. Mike will tell you exactly what the problem is with your vehicle. Prices are unbeatable and he works with you there is no other Mechanic here especially in Orange County like him. If you're having problems with your vehicle and you're unsure of taking your vehicle to somewhere safe where they won't over charge you . TKP is the place to go to save your money! Go to TKP AUTO trust me!! He will do the job at a price you'll be surprised at paying for :) read more

they worked me in even though they were busy. Also it was a lot cheaper than any other place I have gotten a smog check. I would definetly go back. read more

My sons and I have gone to this mechanic for about 7 years and have always been delighted in the repair, cost and politeness at this business. He never recommends any repair that does not need to be done. His charges are far below the other mechanics I have used in the area. I have not had a problem with anything he has done on our vehicles. He saves his customers money wherever possible. He is very busy, but with good reason. I know several people who go to TKP and they love it. JB Midway City, CA read more

Best service. Very honest mechanic, Tuong (Mike). Great prices. My entire family and I have been coming here for over 10+ years for all of our car services. Mike will not probe and gouge you for more services. He is very honest. If something needs to be done, he will tell you and if something does not need to be done, he will insist on not doing it and tell you to save your money and come back when it is necessary. There is no place like TKP. read more

My only mechanic I would trust beside Gary at H&A Auto. Tuong is one of the kindest and honest mechanic I dealt with in the last 10 years. His workmanship and integrity are the reason I'm his customer. I purchased a brand new Toyota 4-Runner from Garden Grove Toyota but never took it in for service. I only used TKP and no one else. Thanks Tuong for all your help with our cars. I hope you don't plan to retire soon. read more

I've been coming here for almost 5 years now and the service is speedy, very reasonable prices and the owner Mike is incredibly honest and will never try to sell you on needless repairs. read more
