ACE Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Riverside, California

I recently brought my BMW to Ace Auto Services in Riverside after a frustrating experience at the dealership, and I couldn't be more impressed with the care, honesty, and professionalism I received from Grace and Jeff. From the moment I explained what happened with my vehicle, they listened patiently, took the time to understand the situation, and walked me through exactly what needed to be done. They replaced the water pump and thermostat, kept me updated throughout the process, and even looked into the battery concern with complete transparency -- no upselling, no pressure, just honest advice. The car drives beautifully now -- smooth, strong, and better than it has in a long time. What stood out most is their integrity and personal attention during a time when I was already dealing with a lot. If you're looking for a mechanic shop you can actually trust -- one that treats your car like their own and gives you straight answers -- Ace Auto is the place. *Not to mention incredibly reasonable quotes/prices. Thank you again, Grace and Jeff. You've earned a customer for life. read more

ACE Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Riverside, California

As a college student, I was looking for a mechanic shop that was honest about their work and pricing. After almost being ripped off by Toyota, I decided to give ACE Auto Service a try and I'm glad I did! I wish I would've gotten the name of the gentleman (maybe the owner), but right off the bat he knew exactly what my car needed and what it DIDN'T need. This shop just gained another loyal customer. Thank you! read more

5 Stars - A Hidden Gem for Honest Auto Care I searched all over Yelp to find a reputable place for a simple oil change. You'd think that would be easy -- but let me tell you, it's not. Some places either overcharge, don't respond, or act like you're wasting their time. That's actually what happened to me less than a mile away at a place called Tire Center on Tyler in Riverside. As soon as I told the woman working there I just needed an oil change, her attitude completely changed -- cold and dismissive. I was treated like I wasn't worth her time. It actually reminded me of the scene in Pretty Woman, when Julia Roberts walks into the boutique and gets judged because of how she's dressed. That other shop missed out -- not just on a simple oil change, but on the loyal business I would've brought them. That's why place had only a few cars being worked on. Then I found Ace Auto Service. From the moment I messaged them online, the reply was prompt, professional, and welcoming. I came in shortly after, and the service was just as impressive in person. Quick, efficient, friendly, and honest -- everything you want in an auto shop. The price? Even better than I expected. What really stood out was that I never once felt like I was being "upsold" or looked down on. It was clear they value every customer, no matter how big or small the job. And while I came in for a quick oil change, I found out they offer many other services -- so yes, I'll absolutely be coming back. Ace Auto Service didn't just win my business -- they earned my trust. If you're looking for honest, quality work with excellent customer service, skip the drama and come here first. You'll be glad you did. read more

Great service at reasonable costs, what more do you need? Grace is a sweetheart behind the counter, and the mechanics are very nice and friendly. I went here because of the positive Yelp reviews, and I was not disappointed. I called just after closing and left a message, but was not able to make an appointment. I showed up at 8:00 AM the next morning just in case and they had received my message and took a look at my car. The A/C had gone out a week or so before while I was on the road. It started smoking under the hood, no cold air, then started a howling noise. I knew it was not going to be a cheap fix. They had me up and running that day by the early afternoon, after replacing most of the major components in the A/C system, and at a very reasonable cost. I will definitely come back the next time I need some work done. read more

I brought my 2016 Hyundai that we worked on but just could not figure what still was making a sound where we had some new struts replaced. Luckily it was a semi quick fix and the owners were so kind. I called early in the morning because most shops are closed weekends and I walked right in. It's a small shop so be patient of course but Jeff I think is the owner was so nice. Up front prices and still cheaper for a diagnostic/ repair than the dealer. Would come back again. Now my car is running so smoothly and no more clunky sounds. Super grateful for how fast they were and just in time to enjoy my weekend with peace of mind. Highly recommend this shop. Very competitive prices for other services as well from what I saw posted in the shop. They take most major cards so that's a nice bonus. Parking outside can be a little rough since they share the lot with a few other shops but don't let that deter you. read more

10/10 would recommend to my friends and family! I've always had the worst time getting my car serviced by other shops. Other places make you over pay and for some reason, my car leaves the shop in worse condition than it came in (trying to make me come back for more money). I'm so glad I found this place, the mechanic doesn't try to make me unnecessarily fix things that don't need repairs and the price is always right! I needed a major a/c repair and the dealership quoted me two month's mortgage. I'd rather sweat in the heat in my car. I called several other auto shops and they quoted me near the original cost because of excuse after excuse to run the prices high. This was the first place I called that said they can do it, and for much cheaper. I've been coming back here for repairs and maintenance since, and I've never felt like my car was being tampered with (unlike other crooked auto shops out there). My car runs better than ever, I'm nice and cool in the summer, and I feel extremely safe especially with a baby in the car. I wouldn't hesitate to give them a call and get a quote for any car maintenance. read more

I would definitely come back and I would for sure recommend this place to family and friends. read more

Finally found an auto shop I can trust! I came in with my 2013 Corolla for an oil change, smog check, and also had my brakes serviced. Owners Jeff and Grace were friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. They told me I only needed the front brakes swapped out after checking which side is actually worn out. They provide all the routine services and also resurface rotors when applying brake pads. Grace was super patient and clear with my billing questions, and didn't try to upsell any unnecessary items. All their prices were very fair--especially with the customer service you're getting. Definitely coming back to Ace Auto for all my car service needs. read more

This is the place to go for auto repairs. I own several German cars, and I love my cars. The quality of the job they do here is superb! Jeff runs the bay, and his wife Grace runs the office. They are so nice, friendly, and honest about everything. It's really hard to find honest people like them these days. I hope they make it big with their business. I highly recommend this place! read more

We recently had my daughter car repaired here. Radiator replacement and valve cover gasket replacement. They gave us a very reasonable price and were able to work on the vehicle right away. A couple days later my daughter's car stopped running and it looked as though it needed an alternator. We brought the vehicle back to Ace and they checked the alternator. They informed us that the alternator was good but the wiring to the alternator was bad. They then informed us that they had repaired the wiring at no cost. They could have easily charged us 1 labor hour for $120 to repair the wiring but they chose to help a loyal customer. This type of service is almost unheard of in today's automotive repair business. In my experience Ace auto service is honest and doing business in good faith and doing a great service to their customers. I would recommend Ace to anyone in the Riverside area. Thank you to Grace and the entire crew at Ace. read more

You know when you get your car fixed you always feel like there's something off and overpaid or paid for things you don't need? Well this is the only place I never felt that. Both Jeff and Grace are very upfront and real with you. Even when they have suggestions you can tell it's because they care to make sure your car is in good working condition. If you're done tired of the haggling and overpriced repairs, I highly suggest Ace! read more

The care for my car and outstanding service has been amazing at ACE Auto Service. Had one service here but plan on becoming a repeat customer. They have one of the best values for their service and my car feels like I just drove it off the lot again. Thanks ACE! read more

I love this place. I know my car is pain. She's a 2003 Mazda Miata. It is difficult to get people to work on her without being taken advantage and being over charged. I know that parts aren't necessarily easy to get but they did it all. I was recommended to them by the CAP program and they did it!! My car passed smog and I am up and running. They were very kind and patient with me. I appreciate them. read more

Found this place by my friend's recommendation when I had to fix my mom's car. I will be definitely going back again with my car's regular check up and oil changes. I recommend to everyone! read more

See all

I highly recommend Ace Auto Service. As I'm impressed with Jeff and Grace knowledge of mechanics. When I stated my concerns and problems with my car a/c (constant fowl smells), Jeff and Grace knew immediately what needed to fix without even looking at my car. I've asked this same question to multiple other auto mechanics and they told me that they have to take the whole engines aparts to see where the main problem starts, which it takes whole day. . Thankfully, Jeff and Grace told me that it's a minor fix/replacement WITHOUT tearing engines apart. This saved me a whole lotta money and time! The price is affordable. After they fixed my car a/c, no more fowl scent!! Thanks Jeff and Grace!! . read more

I always take my car here! For oil changes, brakes, and when I need a smog. The service is great, family operated and they are so nice.

Friendly and Honest. A pleasure to do business with them. read more

I took my Prius in at the recommendation of a friend and they were honest, thorough and reasonable priced. Once I had an oil change done elsewhere and they gave me a couple other things that needed to be done which totaled almost $300.00. I took the proposal to ACE and they agreed with the other place and seeing the proposed cost said," we'll charge you our normal rate which became only $117.00. Now they could have looked at the bill and said we'll match that price but instead they had integrity. I never go anywhere else and I recommend everyone to go here., read more
