    This shop is awesome and the customer service is amazing! I initially spoke with Daniel the Service…read moreManager and he was very courteous and helpful. My car was making some weird sounds and I had to leave it there for a few days so they can look into it. They found some other maintenance work I needed so I chose to do some other services as we couldn't figure out exactly where the other noise was coming from. I took the car home and the other noise came on again on the freeway so I recorded it and emailed it to them. I dropped my car off the next day and also spoke to the owner Tony who is a great person. He was very patient, calm and ended up finding out what the issue was, and got it all fixed for me. It was nice to work with Daniel, the Service Manager, and Tony, the Owner and help find out exactly what was going on with my car. I really appreciate their customer service and honesty. Daniel was very helpful and clear in communication. I was happy to talk to the business owner Tony who was very kind, patient, understanding, honest and I love the fact he was willing to take time to have a conversation and get to know each other as people. I like getting to know the actual business owner so I know who we're supporting in business. And Tony and team have definitely earned our business. I highly recommend this shop and will definitely be taking my cars here moving forward. Thank you Daniel, Tony and team! God Bless!

The communication during the process was seamless and the process was easy. Nothing was forced upon us for decisions and work was done quickly. They even remembered my name and offered free oil top off as needed. I highly recommend this location.

Well these dudes reach that standard and go above it. From the first handshake, I knew my ladies were in good hands. They were honest and went above and beyond to let me know what I could do on my end to prolong the life of these machines. I'd recommend anyone taking their car here 11 times out of 10!!

    Frank and Mark helped me restore my dad's 1990 Mercedes 420SEL. When my father passed away in 2024,…read morehe told me before he passed that he wanted to look at one of his cars. It was this 1990 Mercedes that he parked in his carport since 2019. This was the first luxury car that he bought when he first moved to the U.S. more than 20 years ago. My dad was a mechanic in Thailand. He also used to sell luxury cars like this to many politicians in Thailand after he graduated from law school. He loved cars and he knew how special 1990 Mercedes is. I trusted my dad's judgment about cars so I know that this 1990 Mercedes must be an amazing car. It was so difficult for me to find a mechanic in nears my house who would help me restore my dad's car. Then someone told me about Schmitt Automotive. Frank and Mark helped me restore this car. They didn't just help me fix the car so it can drive again. Frank helped me restore the car to the point that it's no longer leaking in the trunk, the radio that didn't work now is working great. It's amazing beyond amazing. Frank took care of this car as if it was his own car. It's rare to find a mechanic who is kind, honest and meticulous like Frank. It was very easy to communicate with Mark to get updates and etc during the process. I finally drove this 1990 Mercedes yesterday for the first time after Frank and Mark helped me fix it. I was so impressed how amazing it is to drive this car. I test drive the newer luxury cars earlier this year and now I own 2 different cars (one is an EV). Nothing is compared to driving this 1990 Mercedes that Frank and Mark helped me restore. I feel so grateful for the team at Schmitt Automotive!

    BEWARE ALL!! Bucky's Complete Auto did not pay their court ordered bill!…read more My experience with Bucky's Auto has been extremely disappointing. After going through the legal process and receiving a court ruling in our favor, we are still waiting for payment that was ordered. Brian, the representative who appeared on behalf of the company in court, was present during the process, which makes the lack of resolution even more frustrating. What has upset us most is not just the original issue, but the continued lack of follow-through afterward. Having to pursue legal action was stressful enough, and still not having the matter resolved has been incredibly disappointing. Based on our experience, I would strongly encourage others to do thorough research and proceed with caution. To those who have had a good experience with them thus far,just hope that they don't damage your vehicle and you have to take other measures, because if you do, winning in court does not settle the issue. After repeated calls and talking with Brian, their manager, will not return calls and have completed disregarded their legal responsibilities. They'll absolutely would take you to court if you did not pay your bill. This says A LOT about a business!

    I normally don't write reviews this long, but I want people to be aware of our experience…read more My husband and I brought our 2014 Kia Forte to Bucky's Complete Auto Repair after another mechanic told us they couldn't work on the vehicle because it had California emissions and recommended Bucky's. When we arrived, my husband asked them to look at the catalytic converter, which he believed might be the issue. Instead, we were told the engine needed to be replaced. Bucky's located a used engine with about 56,000 miles and quoted us roughly $8,000 for the job. We agreed because we were trying to avoid purchasing another vehicle and taking on another monthly payment with interest. While signing paperwork, one mechanic came out of the shop asking another mechanic if they had crazy glue to fix a car part. That was our first red flag, but we tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. The repair took longer than expected due to staff illness and the holiday season, and my husband had to take multiple days off work dealing with the delays. After we finally got the car back, it worked for a short time but problems kept occurring. We returned to the shop several times. The manager at the time tried to help address the issues without charging us each visit, so unfortunately we didn't document every return visit. Eventually the car failed completely when the engine belt snapped off, leaving the vehicle undrivable. I had to rent a car from the airport just to get home after returning from a trip. When we contacted Bucky's again, they initially offered to arrange a tow but never called us back. When my husband followed up, we discovered that the entire staff from when our engine was installed was gone, including the manager and mechanics. A district manager then became involved and told my husband that we were trying to get free services and that "the company comes before the customer." At that point we donated the car to a friend, who took it to his own mechanic to inspect it. What they discovered was extremely concerning: * parts missing * bolts not properly installed * components not secured correctly And most shockingly, the word "BROKEN" was written on the engine itself. Because of how Kia engines are positioned, this would not have been visible to us. Since no lawyer would take the case, we filed in small claims court seeking the maximum $10,000, though our total losses were higher when factoring in rentals, rideshares, towing, repeated repairs, and lost wages from missed work. At the court date, the district manager requested last-minute mediation. During scheduling he mentioned he still had paperwork from another small claims case they had handled recently, which was concerning to hear. We ultimately agreed to settle with payment due between January 30 and February 6. That payment was not made on time. When I asked for updates, the district manager said he contacted HR, which later turned out not to be accurate. He later admitted he had forgotten to submit a step in the request process, meaning the payment request had not even been sent. The owner then contacted us and said he would Venmo the payment because of the delay, but that never happened either. Instead he said a check was mailed, but when I asked him to confirm the mailing address he never responded. The check was eventually mailed February 18 and arrived in early March, almost a month after the agreed deadline. I'm sharing this so others can make informed decisions. Major vehicle repairs are stressful and expensive, and documentation and communication matter a lot. Please do your research and consider getting multiple opinions before approving a major repair.
