Scott, the owner of Todd's car connection is the most trustworthy mechanic I've ever met. He's more than fair on pricing, he should definitely charge more than he does. I originally brought him my Jeep because the dealer told me it was going to be $3500 to replace the evaporator in my AC unit... The dealer (Jeep across the street) told me that I had a pinhole leak. Turns out this is not the case and Scott even brought in a special piece of equipment to test it, and there were no leaks detected. He filled me up with refrigerant with blue dye, and I drove it around for a month to see where the leak would be just in case... no blue dye ever detected... in addition, he had my car all day and did multiple tests on it for a few hundred dollars. It's been almost a year since and my AC runs perfectly, no issues. That's just the start of my experience here, and I've been back many times for oil changes and little fixes here and there and I've had the best experience. I'll never go anywhere else. read more

Thank you Scott for taking my car in today on such short notice! You did a great job on replacing my Serpentine belt before and today with the oil leak. Appreciate you! read more

Let's go through the list of why you should not choose Scott and this place to get your car worked on. 1. Extremely overpriced 2. Disrespectful about your time 3 . No guarantee. My differential exploded a few months after he fixed it Locker was totally ruined along with the ring and pinion. 4. Needs to take a class and communication because there is NONE. We're talking over a month for a call. I had to call three times still never got a call back had to go over there. 5. These are just a few of the problems I encountered at this place of business if you can call it that. read more

Inquired about an oil change for my GMC Yukon. Got in within 30 minutes and felt like I was charged a fair price, my vehicle was checked out overall to make sure everything was in proper working order and I was out the door within 1 hour. This is a very small spot and the street is crowded but don't let that turn you away. Scott, the Owner, was honest and transparent from the start. It can be intimidating and frustrating dealing with any vehicle maintenance & repairs as a Woman. My experience here was really good! I will come back for future maintenance.

Came in to get an oil change on my Lexus ct200h (i drive 145 miles a week for work) and Scott helped me. I had called earlier today to ask if i could come in and he was able to take me in. Scott's really awesome, he not only personally changed my oil right away and charged me a competitive rate that was beyond fair, he also alerted me of the fact that my air and cabin filters needed replacing soon (my filters looked disgusting), that my brake pads were probably gonna make it till the next oil change, and most importantly let me know that my front two tires were scarily low and would probably need to be replaced within the next 2 weeks. I had been feeling like my car was driving kinda funny and the tires being on their death bed is most likely the culprit. I drive so much and had a blowout not long ago so I'm really grateful Scott took the time to inspect my vehicle and notify me of this, because the last blowout was a nightmare. He didn't need to inform me about my tires or anything else. He doesn't even do tires! I appreciate that so much and will be coming back here from now on. The place i had gotten an oil change at before was rather short with me when i called earlier and flat out told me he was swamped and not taking any cars in for the rest of the week, which i understand totally. Now I'm glad he couldn't take me in lol. read more

Check this out. Needed someone to birddog a coolant leak on my S550 2008 Mercedes. And fix it.he was next to my friends at Martin Auto Color, or Lisa LaMacchias Simi Paint as I first knew of it. Anyhow, good vibes. This dude Scott is ready to do. In no hurry I tell him do it. Estimate $660 Actually $600. 1 1/2 days during a absolute downpour. He nailed it himself. He commented on my car like he has worked on that model and knows the car. Well, now he knows a new customer. Scheduled oil/filter when I picked it up. This guy is young, hungry, and knowledgeable to be sure. 5 stars and a twist. . read more

I can't say enough nice things about Scott. He is an honest mechanic. Scott provides an assessment of the issues after inspection and reasonable and fair pricing. I never feel pressured and I always walk away with knowledge on my vehicles which is never provided at any dealership. His shop is not fancy but that's not important to me. It's always about trust and value of each transaction. Thank you for all your help. I truly appreciate you and business. read more

I needed to get my brakes and rotors replaced after driving nearly 2,000 miles to move to California, and was able to get my car in very quickly.

I brought my 2003 Tahoe here for a tune-up, oil change & check my 4WD. Turned out my water pump was about to go out, so he replaced it, he put in new spark plugs since they were the wrong size & one was rubbing on something (previous mechanic used the wrong size). Ever since I got the tune-up done, it goes up hills at like 70 now instead of 55/60, runs much better. Just waiting to see if I'll have to put in 2 qts of oil after 2,000 miles. Definitely going back here for my oil changes instead of the dealership. read more

Been to a few mechanics around town. Some good, some bad, some VERY expensive. Todd is a one man show. Seems honest and straight forward. Took my car in for A/C service. Needed a new compressor, not cheap!! Todd completed the job quickly. Seems to be working good. A couple days later I took in one of my other cars for some advise. He moved 3 cars to get mine on the lift I needed. Spent about half an hour with me and made some suggestions. No Charge. I'll go back. read more
