Great service, and repairs were quick. Michael was amazing. Definitely recommended for any car repairs.

I needed to get a smog on my '94 wrangler and after trying five other shops in town that either didn't do older cars, or weren't there, or had no available time today, I got to Young's Automotive just about ready to give up. Michael greeted me as I parked and walked up and said they do older cars and can take care of me just after the vehicle they're currently working on. Michael came out and chatted with me for a bit, explained how it's a bigger process for older cars and there's a different machine needed, which is why I was likely having a hard time finding a place. Sergio did the smog and also came over to chat as the machine was doing its thing. Both gentlemen were so sweet I can't imagine the one star reviews being real, but who knows. Price was reasonable at just under $120, the other spots quoted a bit less but I needed this done today so I was ok paying a little more. I will definitely be coming here next time. Thank you Michael and Sergio! read more

Recently moved to LB, and wanted to service my 07 Silverado A/C unit. My girlfriends 2012 Altima decided to have radiator issues instead. Called Michael and liked him instantly. Arrived to a very clean, modern, professional shop with top of the line tools and equipment. Michael gave me a two day window, yet two hours later he called, taking time to thoroughly explain the problem. When I picked it up he had all the faulty parts laid out to show me! The price was very fair, and the quality of repair was excellent. Next was my 07 Silverado. A/C service, Oil change, and rear brake adjustment. Again, excellent service! The next day my A/C stopped working. It was a Friday afternoon, I called and informed Jesse, very nice, and excellent mechanic. I explained the problem and that I needed my truck for the weekend, his response?? Bring it right in. He diagnosed the problem, and repaired it in less than an hour, and No Charge! These wonderful people stand behind their work!!!! The safety of my girlfriend, and the quality of repairs is of utmost importance. Michael and Jesse provided me with that comfort. Thank you Michael and Jesse. Young's Automotive rocks!!! Dennis H. read more

recommend you to take your vehicle somewhere else these people don't even want to inform you on simple question about your vehicle. asked if off balance and side marker lights weren't working was gonna fail the vehicle on Safety inspection . told me I would have to find out. If I could give this place 0 stars I would..... I recommend you go to A&A auto repair or Fegeroa auto repair they passed me with no problem and only charged me 220$ instead of 300$..... # unsatisfied customer # scam read more

SCAMMER ALERT PLEASE SHARE This place will scam you! Don't trust them! Have you had a smog here and it failed and they told you to get the voucher? Most likely your vehicle should've passed but they just want to make extra money using this system. I paid $110 for a smog and it had barely failed one thing and everything else was fine. He told me to get the voucher and it will be a week worth of work. I took it to another shop and it passed, no problem. I went back, and as soon as I showed him the passing paperwork got crazy irate and was yelling profanity at me. He tried to insult me every which way. He kept grabbing himself and spitting. He told, you got me and that he would give me my money back if I rolled around on the ground and barked like a dog because that's all I am, a fat F**king dog. SHAMEFUL! read more

Always great to take my car here. These guys are affordable and get you in and out with an amazing job well done. Highly recommend these guys. read more

One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a mechanic. Horrible customer service.. there are so much better places in LB to go. Please don't spend your hard earned money on places like this!! read more

Thank you Michael, Jesse & team. Youngs is where I have my car serviced and they do a great job. When my son was in an accident and needed some work done we took his 2007 Honda there and they went out of their way to get him back on the road. I originally went to them because I knew we could trust their opinion, was very grateful they could do the work and very pleased with the results. Thank you again for taking care of everything for us. read more

A couple months ago my car got hit and I had to get it certified for the DMV after getting it fixed. Everything was newly installed before bringing it in. My dad took it in for me, since he knows more about cars than I do and they told him they had to replace the headlights and a couple of other things that were JUST newly installed. Somehow the total charges racked up to $500 for all the replacements. I was just really confused because the shop that repaired my car said they replaced everything that was damaged from the accident so all I would have to pay for at that point was the fee for getting it inspected and certified. When we questioned all the extra charges, the guy helping us, Michael, was really rude and aggressive and became disrespectful because I gave him attitude back!! Look, I understand sales and customers service. I am a sales rep myself, but if a customer has questions about your charges, as a rep you should sit there and explain it to them and make the customer feel comfortable about the purchase and provide a good experience. Maybe if I felt comfortable I would have just done it and got it over with; on the contrary I felt harassed and really uncomfortable because of that last encounter with the worker. I don't understand how they're not trained on good customer service!! I definitely didn't feel safe is all I can say. read more

Great for smog check service, we have taken both our cars. My reason for one star: Driver side window wasn't working, we paid $120 for them to diagnose the problem. They called to tell us we needed to replace the regulator and motor. This would cost $500+, we kindly declined and called a mobile auto glass repair. Upon them taking my door apart they tell us there in fact is none of the problems wrong with our window as stated by young's automotive. Completely un honest people ! read more

By far the best automotive shop in Los Banos. They were very kind fix my car quickly with no issues or problems. I would recommend Youngs automotive for any auto repair needs. Michael is also very patient and explains in very clear detail as to what repairs were needed and what repairs were completed. Thank you read more

My car looked to be going down for the count while climbing the Pacheco Pass grade, lights flashing and a loss of power. I limped into Los Banos accepting my scheduled medical appointment in Fresno would be lost. Not knowing any mechanics in Los Banos I was in a real pinch. D.J. the manager at Les Schwab Tire Center directed me to Young's Automotive. Jack, the owner of Young's Automotive and his mechanic Dennis helped me out greatly. They diagnosed my issue and even though their days work schedule was completely full they made room for my repair. Unfortunately the parts would not have arrived from Fresno until after noon and I had to decline the offer for the repair. Dennis told me if I took it easy on the engine I would make it back to the coast without breaking down. Jack did not charge me for the diagnostic scan. Dennis put an hour into the job and they didn't charge me. Thank you guys. Young's is the cleanest auto repair shop I have ever stepped into. Nothing is out of place. It's a modern building and Jack's machinery looks practically brand new. If I ever need an auto mechanic in the area again Young's will get my business.. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Driving down 152 on my move to my new home, my cat got out of his carrier and within seconds crawled into my dashboard. Not only could I not coax him out but he managed to get himself stuck. I called several mechanics before reaching Michael at Young's. His first reaction was empathy and immediately he broke down how the procedure might go to remove the dashboard and save my cat. Once I arrived, I was greeted with encouragement that his guys could get the job done. A job that could have taken hours, his skilled mechanic, Jessie, was able to strategically remove parts and rescue my cat within 30 minutes. To us, they are heroes! In addition, the shop was immaculate and they followed all Covid-19 precautions. I feel it necessary to add I have never seen an auto garage have such a clean restroom... cleaner than some restaurants. Thank you to all at Young's automotive for saving our day! read more

Was refused a smog service. Youngs automotive shop has a smog inspect and repair license however will not test a 2002 Ford focus because the check engine light may come on. Was willing to pay for the smog wether it passed or failed. If failed was willing to perform repairs in order to pass. Instead was told to "take it to someone else". When I asked why I was told that they are a star station and if it passes today and fails the next smog they're smog pass or fail average is reduced. Will have to look for another star station in the area. read more

REALLY BAD SERVICE!! Don't even bother going, you're just wasting your time. They charge too much and they put in cheap car parts.

Called a couple other shops in LB and got a estimate to troubleshoot that was way too high.....Young's quoted me $100 to troubleshoot. They got my truck running and found some other items that needed attention. Got the smog test passed. I ended up spending $2500 on the truck but for a 30 year old truck everything has been fixed. I trust that they were honest with me and knew that what they did needed to be done. I know my son will have a dependable truck. Michael and Sergio and Michael's father are too notch people. read more

I bring my van 2 weeks ago for a repair and a guy of name Michael call me on Tuesday March 1st and told they couldn't fix my van because it needs a catalyst and they couldn't get it so I need to pick it up and I said ok so next day after the call I put a review on Google that they didn't fix my van and today Friday 4 I was there to pick up my van the same guy Michael was a aggressive calling me names and wanted to fight, and telling me to take the review of so I agreed because he didn't want to give me my car keys and I left and he still was telling me names so I just left by the way he did charge for his service read more

Customer service was so unprofessional they want to quote you one price and then when you go to pick up your vehicle after paying $3000 they want to add all these different fees and parts another $1700 that he had to add supposedly the manager wants to get in your face like he's going to attack you I would advise anyone and everyone to look else where after getting the vehicle back from having a new engine and radiator placed in I noticed the vehicle was not running correctly so I looked under the hood and There was little to no oil, transmission fluid, all the fluid levels were low and I had to replace the spark plug that was defective and broken I will never return and the man was so rude and very unprofessional BE AWARE read more

They were fast and friendly and really helped me out when I found myself two hours from home broken down. Michael was super great and helped me get my warranty covered alternator replaced and installed and for a great price. Would recommend 10/10!!! read more

This place is a rip off, paid $1200 to fix truck a week later it does the same thing so I have it towed back there. JACK OFF told me he was closing down out of business that was 2 1/2 years ago. He said that so I don't go to B.B.B. read more

They were nice to great me and tell me how they were going to do everything and they gave me the price for how much it was going to be, they told me they were going to hook up the computer to my truck and tell me what was wrong. Once they told me what was wrong they changed the part. When I got my truck back, it was working really good but then I felt my truck trembling so I took it back and I asked to see the recipe of the part they put in, but they said they wouldn't give it to me because it was a bar code number, and then then the guy told me that he would need to do another check up on my truck and that he would have to use the computer again to check "what was the other problem" He then said he would charge me again because it was a different problem. But when I first came in I didn't have any other problems with my truck dealing with something so irrelevant that shouldn't have been any problem with what i came to get changed. I wouldn't recommend this place at all, but if you do happen to go for something quick, make sure to test everything before giving them the money!!! read more

SCAMMER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dropped my car off yesterday for a brake & light inspection and today when i went to pick up my car i was told i needed new tires in order to perform the test. I then had asked if a test had even been performed on my vehicle yet? I was told no, because it needed new tires. ( just bought 4 brand new tires 3 weeks ago) 1st scam. I then had felt uncomfortable at the fact they didnt notice i had brand new tires ? So itold a worker named sergio , that i will be taking my car else where and would like my key. He then began to say i cannot get my keys until i pay. I then ask for a receipt before i pay....so i know what i am paying for as a customer. Sergio then goes on to say that i cant get a receipt until 2pm but i can pay to get my keys. Sergio had already mentioned no test was performed on my car becauase i didnt meet the requirements. Of "having new tires" ....at this point im really confused, i cannot get a receipt from these people ... But being asked to pay $100.00 to get my keys??? What exactly am i paying for?? If no test was done? If a test was done you guys would be able to show me proof of it passing or failing. That is all i was asking for when sergio then told me to "get the fuck out" and threw his working gloves on the ground and threatened to fight me and my husband in front of our 4 year old son..just because we wanted proof, a receipt ,something to justify why i had to pay $100.00 for no work done to my car or tests done. We simply asked to get a brake and light inspection, if it passed or failed that would be my business but you guys stated a test wasn't done due to the fact that i needed new tires. so if im paying $100.00 Why cant you guys provide a receipt? At least tell me what the $100.00 is for if you cant provide a receipt until 2pm. How do you even know to charge me $100.00 if you cant accuumulate a invoice and youre telling me nothing was done. Makes no sense. I was forced to pay $100.00 just to get my keys. I left and waited to speak with the boss, thinking he would be able to explain the situation of why i paid for no service and when i can come to pick up my receipt, he says " when i feel like it" these people are unprofessional and scammers. At least check my tires first before you say i need new ones. I have receipt for all tires , and services done from the dealer in order to pass inspection. You wanted me to buy something i didn't need solely for your companys benefit and when i said ill take my business elsewhere you threatned to not give me my keys unless i paid a random amount of $100.00. I waited to speak to the boss before i was going to file a police report for the threats made to my husband and i but since he is replying with the same energy as his workers, i will be taking legal action and providing the videos of the incident to the police department and 100% reporting these scammers to the BBB. People work hard for their money, i will be on a mission for justice so that this will never happen to another family again. read more
