Fair pricing, no surprises and everything was explained and presented to me prior to services being done. Ed is a very friendly guy who is passionate about his work. They'll be taking care of my car from now on. read more

WOW I brought my 74 vette for a steering column issue. Ed and family took care of everything. Ed will be taking care of my vette from now on Thank you for your amazing service Scott read more

My father, brother and myself have gone to Ace for years now. Never once have we felt ripped off or lied to. They are friendly and informative when asking questions. They do not pressure you into fixing anything you don't want to. They have squeezed me in several times when I really needed something done in a hurry. They have even stayed open late, after closing so we can pick the car up after work. read more

What can I say about Ace AUTOMOTIVE on Western in Fairfield Ca. Other than I being an older retired mechanic myself. Ace was recommended to me by Robert at Extreme Muffler. Ed and Donna are great Car People. We hit it off day one when I took my wife's car there for AC work. So I took my car for check engine light problems witch I hate. After answering a few questions and letting them know what I tried Mike knew where to look. And yes they found the problem ordered my parts and put that nasty check engine light to sleep. Car running great. I Found My Go To Automotive Shop. No need to go anywhere where ELSE. GREAT JOB ACE AUTOMOTIVE. read more

Great service. Ed and his staff are always welcoming and knowledgeable. Second time I have taken my car there.

Ed and Donna are the best and always do the best work . They have helped keep my cars safe while going thru medical issues.

Hoped to be able to get my classic Pontiac worked on here. First went to there old location but they had moved a ways from me so I called. Got their VM and a nice lady called me back. She said a mechanic would have to call me back when they get in. No call ever came. So I called back the next day and again got their VM. This time nobody even bothered to get back to me. Last VM was left on 10/11/2024. I guess they don't want new customers. read more

You can 100% trust Donna and Ed at Ace! They will take care of you car like they've been taking care of my 64' Chevelle. read more

I cant say enough good things about Ace Automotive, Donna and Ed run a great shop. They really help me understand any repair recommendations and I always feel like I am getting quality at good price. I plan on being a loyal customer. read more

Took my 65 Ford F-250 Camper Special to have the gas tank moved under the bed; place a new steering column and steering wheel to include a electronic power steering - shortened my shifter too so I won't be slapping myself every time I'm shifting. I can't thank Ed enough and feel blessed to have finally found a shop that will take care of my old friend - saving up for the next project ... read more

Excellent customer service, family run business. Always support the local guy, and these guys deserve your support because they do a great job. Got the car in as promised and got the car out as promised. You can't beat that. read more

Incredibly kind and helpful people here!! Searched for the closest auto repair shop after having an emergency on the freeway. Lester took the car back within minutes and was super quick and friendly. Would highly recommend for any car needs! Thank you Ace Auto!! read more

Was referred to this shop by an auto-body shop and reviewed them on Yelp and seen they had great reviews. I don't always go off reviews because hey-some pay for reviews. I called as I had a 1988 mustang that had been sitting for 20+ years. I spoke with Donna and from the first day she provided excellent customer service! My goal was to get the car running-it started but I wanted to have an overall thorough check. I was provided clear and concise reports on what was needed, what were "must fixes" and which ones were not "mandatory but recommended". Again, the communication was outstanding from start to finish and the vehicle is running great. And how happy was I to hear a female worked on my vehicle "girls rock! Lol thanks again for bring a 5 star business! read more

Honest, fair, and quality service. These guys keep my '66 Mustang running like a dream. Wouldn't take my classic anywhere else.

They always take good care of me. Never overcharge. Never do or recommend work that doesn't need to be done. Highly recommend.

When you visit Ace Automotive your car will get the best work possible by the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable, detailed, and skill people anywhere. Better still, the work is performed by a team of people with huge hearts, generous nature, and a patience to see things through in the kindest way. Not only new mechanics I admire, but also new friends I thank and treasure. Thank you so much for the professional work on my friend's VW yesterday. read more

Brake seized up on vacation. They are a high performance car shop but they had pity on our mini-van. They found the part and had it installed in under 2 hours. Got to wait in their air conditioned office. Toys for the kids, water for the dog. Great, friendly people. Texted us 2 days later to check on us. Above and beyond service. read more

Im so glad I decided to come here after being fed up with my other auto shop. Requesting a quote & making reservations through the Yelp function was super efficient. I basically came in to just drop off my car and keys with no paperwork to do since they had all of my information when we spoke through Yelp. It wasn't a quick in & out job since they were servicing multiple different cars at the same time, but the wait was reasonable. It's a decent sized, clean waiting room so it wasn't tedious at all. All of the workers are incredibly courteous & friendly and I loved that they knew their regulars plus their cars. Shows that they truly value & care for their customers. I found my go to now! I will definitely be back read more

Ace Automotive and Performance helped me out! For a few days I have been looking for some quotes for a new A/C compressor for my 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe as my A/C wasn't working. I was convinced I would have to spend close to $850 to get it fixed. I called ace automotive and they were able to quickly schedule an appointment. I dropped off my Tahoe at around 7:30 AM, a few hours later I got a phone call from Ace. They informed me my air conditioning was fixed, turned out it was not the compressor but instead a small component of the A/C system. This only cost me a fraction of the price, needless to say I was very pleased! Ace usually closes at 5 PM, however, they knew I had to run a long distance errand on this day. Ace employees stayed there about an hour or so passed closing so I could pick up my vehicle. This was the first time I have ever gone to Ace. The people who work at Ace are honest, efficient and just all around good people. This was very refreshing to see as there are not many shops like this around any more, at least in my experience. I will definitely be returning for future maintenance/repairs. Thanks again! read more

Ace Automotive has employees who obviously care. After a terrifying near-crash on the highway, the folks at Ace Automotive were kind and extremely helpful, and went out of their way to eventually get me back on the road. As a young female, it can be tough to know mechanics and what's right or not. It was very clear that this shop is genuine and honest and that they simply enjoy helping others. They spent over an hour (maybe 2) helping me and didn't charge me a penny. Thanks so much! read more

Took my car in because it was making strange noises while driving and shaking on the freeway. A little upsetting after I've had the shocks, bearings, breaks, and rotors replaced by other mechanics over the past couple years in pursuit of the reoccurring sound and shaking. After it was looked by Ace, I was advised that I just needed new tires and wouldn't be charged for the assessment. It was a total relief! Got my tires replaced and my car sounds like a dream!! Thank you so much for being so trustworthy! I'd definitely recommend to anyone to see Ace. I'll be back whenever I do need some work. Update: I've taken my car in a few more times and each time Ed and his team presented me with options. Giving this car to my daughter soon and feel confident it will be safe and mechanically sound. Just got a new car and am fully confident that Ed and his team will take good care of this one too! read more

Ed, Donna, and Lester run a great business! They are extremely friendly and willing to help anybody with any automotive problem. They installed performance suspension parts on my car and did a great job. I provided the parts which turned out to have incorrect hardware. I brought the correct hardware in later and they redid that portion of the installation. Great customer service and friendly attitude! I have already recommended other car owners to go to the shop and I will recommend that you do too. read more

Ace Automotive and Performance - Auto Repair Near Me - Fairfield, California

5 stars is truly not enough!! This a a family business and they treat their customers they way they would treat their family members. I have taken my truck in several times for repairs and have always received excellent customer service. They have gone above and beyond anything I could imagine. My company only trusts our fleet to Ace as do many of the employee's with their cars. Ed will never tell you that you need something done that isn't necessary and as a single woman who before was afraid to take my own vehicle in I now feel completely comfortable and will never take my truck anywhere else! The amount of care and compassion Ed, Donna and Tiffany show blows me away! Not only is the work performed top notch they are truly amazing people. If you are in need of some car repairs I can't says it enough Ace is your place!!! read more

Donna and Ed are the best mechanic experience Iv encountered since living here in Fairfield!! Honest and up front. Iv been to a few others and have had such a bad experience that I was driving back to San Jose to my regular mechanic until I walked into their building by a recommendation!! Im so glad I met them! read more

Thank you, Ace! We were on a roadtrip from the Sacramento Foothills to Santa Cruz when our car started struggling and the check engine light came on. We tried putting in oil, but that didn't do the trick, so a quick Google search brought up Ace as the closest mechanic. We called and they were able to get us in. We pulled in at 2:00 (on a Friday afternoon), and they had us back on the road 90 minutes later. Totally saved or weekend plans! It's a little thing, but they also had a whole kids area in the waiting room with colouring supplies, books, blocks, and cars. It was a lifesaver for travel with a two-year-old. Highly recommend this place! read more

The owner is super friendly and nice. I called around to other places comparing prices , and theirs were pretty reasonable. I also made the decision to bring my car here because the owner was very nice and answered all my questions. They were able to make a diagnosis on my car in a fast timely manner. They were able to get my car fixed and ready to pick up within just a few hours of getting the part for it. The owner was so nice as he tried his best to get my car to me that day because he knew how much of a hassle it was for me to be without it. They even worked passed their closing time to get it done. Also, they waited for us to pick up my car way after they closed because they knew how bad we needed the car. I definitely recommend this place. I'd give more stars if I could :) read more

Only been here for the 3rd time but I love it , great customer service , the place is really clean and organized , I would definitely coming back for whatever I need for my bmw , the shop also have an awesome story behind it !!! read more

I took my 69 Ford F100 truck to Ed and his family to get a bunch of work done including adding Vintage air. They did a great job with the old truck and she looks and drives fantastic. I live in San Ramon,CA and I would definitely take my truck all the way to Fairfield again to have them work on my classic. read more

See all

Thanks Ed for tuning my 69 Nova. It's been a long while since I've been able to enjoy it. I will return soon for the wiring harness install.

9:30 at night halfway to my destination, I stop for gas and my car doesn't turn over, it doesn't even crank at all. Starter assembly needed to be replaced. 50 miles from home, 50 miles from where I'm going. I call the towing company and it'll cost me $400-500 to tow in either direction. No garage is open at this hour and I don't know of one in the area, I Yelp'ed auto mechanic and Ace Automotive comes up, I called and left a message. Approximately an hour later I receive a text message stating that the shop can take me in the morning and that Ed usually arrives at 730am (shop opens at 8:00) and that he will call me in the morning. The next morning I get a call from Ed, he's waiting for my arrival. Once I get there Ed calls for the part but Ed didn't like the price, he thought he could get it cheaper, he makes another search and he finds one cheaper by $30.00. Ed also includes the Yelp 15% discount on labor without me even having to ask. It's refreshing to come across a mechanic/businessman that truly looks out for the consumer. Approximately 2 hours later I'm in the road thanks to Ed and his associate! It would've been sooner but the part took a while to get there. Ace Automotive (Ed's shop), I would highly recommend for anyone in that area for your automotive needs! If I lived in this area I would trust Ace Automotive for servicing my vehicles.

Today I was driving on the freeway when a wheel stud broke. My wheel almost came off and I found them on google and they immediately took me in and helped fix my problem. Best service hands down. Staff super friendly and helpful. Price very reasonable. Thank you so much. read more

The BEST repair, rebuild, anything auto in Fairfield and surrounding areas by FAR! Best customer service, best service, price and quickest turnover time of auto service I've dealt with. I've literally been thru HELL and back with auto services, but Ed and family have really been a true family run, honest business I'll trust with any car I own. Thank you guys! read more

5 stars is not enough. This company is as honest and professional as any company should be. The quality of work that they did for my 55 Chevy was exceptional. If anyone wants referral information, please call me at (707) 645-0734 and ask for Richard. -Richard Hiteshew A-1 Guaranteed Heating & Air, Inc. read more

I had them do a 90k service on my Scion. I've been to other places for other services and came back unhappy. When I got my car back from them it rode like a new car again! They were super nice and friendly. From the quote to the service they were extremely helpful. Definitely will go back again. It also helps they are down the street from my house! Thanks guys!!! read more

Great guys here highly recommended was reccommend by a great exhaust shop for some work needed on my truck they diagnosed the problem and got me on the road quick very knowledgeable guys who love what they do ls motor specialist! ! read more

Super friendly, honest staff. I was very happy with the service provided and the price was very reasonable. Unfortunately even after the fix was done on my car the check engine light came back on. The staff offered to run more tests on the car at no charge. I will be returning for any of my auto repair needs. read more

I'd give more stars if possible! I purchased a 54' Chevy truck from my neighbor that started sporadically. Got referred to Ace by Specialty Auto Sales in Benicia. Went by the shop and Ed took 30 minutes to talk to me about my truck and show me some of the beautiful projects in the shop. His friendly attitude and knowledge had me sold. I brought my truck in and he replaced a fan relay, rear brake line, master cylinder including brake fluid, king pins on the axle, and a new ignition switch (which was the cause of the starting issue), and some lowering blocks that needed adjusting. I felt good leaving the shop knowing he had looked over my truck and that a mechanic I can trust isn't far. I have told a few people already about Ace and how ED and Donna treat their customers. I have seen them at local car shows and they're always so friendly. DEFINITELY recommend this place and will be going there AGAIN! thanks so much ACE Automotive! read more

My Ford Expedition had the AC compressor go out on me. I chose Ace Automotive from all of the glowing reviews from folks that have had them work on their cars. Let me tell you...this place is legit! Just look at all of the classic cars that Ed has had in his shop! Those people don't just trust any ol' body to turn a wrench on their cars. When I saw that, I was convinced. Dropped the car off in the morning and it was ready and blasting ice cold air that afternoon! All I can say is...Ed, I will give all of my business to you guys and will wholeheartedly recommend you to everyone! Well done. read more
