ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING - RARE INTEGRITY I live in Michigan, and even from out of state, Alex at Agape Auto Repair worked with me closely and personally to help get my granddaughter's car fixed. From the very first conversation, Alex treated me with patience, compassion, and genuine respect -- something you don't see much anymore, especially these days. No fluff. No upselling. No games. Just straight-forward, honest communication and true integrity. Alex took the time to explain everything clearly, worked with me every step of the way, and made sure the repair was done right and fast. I never once felt taken advantage of -- only supported. As an older lady, that personal attention meant everything to me. Alex didn't rush me, didn't talk down to me, and didn't push unnecessary repairs. He did exactly what was needed -- and did it well. This kind of honesty and character is rare. One hell of a shop. One hell of a man. If you're looking for an auto repair place you can actually trust, Agape Auto Repair is it. Highly, highly recommend. Patt Caldwell read more

It's not easy finding the right shop you can trust to work on your cars. I'm so glad I found Agape Auto Repair. The staff is super professional, extremely nice and they do excellent work. So far they've worked on my Ford F150 and my son's BMW. I tell everyone I know about this place! read more

I was recommended this place and I gave it a try. First and foremost, discernment. I was quoted at $730 dollars for brand new break pads and rotors. That discernment really came in to save the day. I appreciate the explanation as to why various points were missed, still, no excuse. However, prior to this experience, I took my car for 4 years to a small local and family owned business not too far. Bonus, their beliefs. So, I am familiar with one woman behind the desk, at this particular shop I love. Always prompt and clear in communication and sequence of events along with speaking with their lead mechanic to get the quotes. They take photos of everything and attach them and show them for educational purposes. Note, this place is packed every single week. There's weeks before you can get into their schedule at times, just to paint a fair picture for comparison. Along with multiple mechanics. But only one kind woman who works behind the desk. Well, I should have just stayed where I was before, despite this tempting recommendation. You quoted me at $730 for break pads and rotors. I called the other mechanic shop I've been going to for years, small family owned business and guess what the price was? $407!!!! I ask for the rest of the list you gave me and wait for their reply. And everything is off, by a lot of money. Mind you, the other business has no idea I went elsewhere and I'm now looking at inflated costs somewhere else. I feel quite fooled to say the least. And embarrassed to even mention this experience. I won't mention the other family owned business who's more aligned with doing what is right, out of respect. We reap what we sow. I would not recommend this place sorry. I don't need a response either. Just utilizing my freedom of speech to share my experience. It's the principal of the matter, integrity goes a long way. And discernment saved the day. Update (just got back my new quote from the place I should have stayed with; my gosh this just boiled my blood. And i respect the trade, i have family who are mechanics in north county. read more

Amazing customer service. I will for sure return. I needed to get my AC fixed. Not only did they give me the best price, they helped me get a ride to work and picked me up. They made the process easy. I will be back for sure. Derrek and his team took great care of me. Alex kept me updated during the entire process. thank you so much. read more

I started going to this mechanic based off of a friend's recommendation years ago, and was very happy for years. However, I have not had a good experience multiple times in the last year and a half or so. The complaint is related to my air conditioner, which ironically is what took me there in the beginning and they were very helpful then. This time they told me I needed a part they didn't have and had me come back. After the new part was put in, the air still didn't work. I took the car back at least 3 times for the same thing, and was even explained how to use the air conditioner in the car I've driven for years because they kept telling me the air is fine. One of the times I took it in, I got it back making a noise. It never dawned on me it was the air conditioner given it sounded like a rock hitting my windshield over and over again, and I just thought it was bad timing it started the day after I was at Agape. I finally got a video of it, took the car in, and they told me based on the video it was the air conditioner. Then they acted like they were doing me a favor fixing it at no charge because it was under warranty. They fixed the noise, but not the air conditioner. After that visit, I realized my floor vents were no longer working. I took it back for that. They still weren't working correctly after they were 'fixed,' along with the air conditioner. But all along I kept getting it back being told it's working fine. I have a medical condition where heat brings on flares, so I've been dealing with that too thanks to Agape not listening to me and treating me like a dumb broad. My husband suggested I try a different mechanic, though I was trying to be loyal based on initial good experiences. So, I finally did go elsewhere today since it's getting hot, and the air conditioner that I supposedly don't know how to use is due to a compressor issue and a fluid leak. This is significant because the first visit I had to Agape years ago I was told I had a small fluid leak that I didn't fix, but interestingly, they never mentioned it as a problem this time when I took it back years later. It magically repaired itself until I went somewhere else. I'm not sure what happened to Agape, but after multiple visits with corresponding Uber rides back and forth at an additional charge, they never fixed my vehicle and made me feel stupid for saying the problem still wasn't fixed. And here we are, the sweating in my car wasn't in my head. Now I'm out the money for Agape never fixing the car and damaging it more every time I went in, plus what I now paid to get it truly fixed. And, as you can see from the receipts I attached, there were things wrong with the A/C and I paid a fortune to get it fixed. But it now works and I'm thrilled! It was never about money, though maybe Agape thought it was because it's an older car. It was just bad customer service blowing off my complaint, but now somewhere that listened got that big ticket. read more

Had rodents chew through my coolant lines, found this out two days before xmas and brought it in on the 23rd when they opened, they were busy but made room for me and got it fixed before noon! Price was a super good value as well! Absolutely amazing team and great service, will always recommend! read more

My car hit the 100,000 mile mark and I got the Maintenance Required, contact your dealer message on the dash board. I called the dealer and was quoted over $600 for this service. Agape did this service for under $150. I'm very satisfied! read more

Honest, professional & kind. Usually the final price is lower than the estimate. At least that's been my experience.

Great auto shop. Nyle is the nuts. Power steering gone bad. Diagnosed and repaired same day. Really impressed with their mechanical and people skills. I would recommend them to anyone read more

this company is VERY HONEST, they are not pushy on fixing small things that have nothing to do with the real problems of your car, they are very affordable and understanding. if you ask them to fix everything they find they will and they don't do a rushed job. they also listen to their customer. my dad is an experienced mechanic but is just too old to get under my car to fix certain issues like he used to. whenever we come to get my car looked at they listen to the things that my dad says are wrong with it and they don't try to pretend like they are superior to listening to another mechanic which I can appreciate. also, there are just some things that they can't do because of the computer systems in electric/hybrid cars which is totally understandable and they don't have a problem referring you to another mechanic that specializes in electric/hybrid cars. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. Just keep on scrolling past this business. They are DISHONEST. Unless you are a morally corrupt individual and are looking to get a life insurance policy out of your family, then this is totally your place.. If you love your family, PLEASE heed my warning and DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE and look elsewhere for automotive repair. I came in for a simple brake job. After which still squeaked so then I was told I need a new calipers they did a rushed job and then closed. Suddenly there was a weird thumping sound over 20mph and when the vehicle was towed in, I was told I needed new struts, allegedly they had looked my vehicle over and couldn't find a damn thing. I took my car to a more reputable, big name (Midas off mission trail saved my family) and shock, I DIDN'T need new struts, turns out the thumping sound was a LOOSE CALIPER BOLT that the technician was able to just SLIDE OUT because NOTHING WAS TIGHTENED. I am reporting this business to the automotive repair bureau, but please save your wallet and your family and do not come to this establishment. read more

Agape auto repair has been my go to shop for many years. They really respect the customer and do excellent work. They have really helped me out when I was in a bind. They have a large fenced yard for the overnight security of your vehicle while in their shop. Highly recommend them. read more

We are so thankful to have found an honest mechanic. Our dear friend who owned a shop in town sold and moved out of California since him it's been hard to find someone that isn't unreasonably priced and honest. Quick story... we purchased a used Ford F150 from a local dealership, husband and I were so excited because the truck was beautiful and we FINALLY saved enough to finance it. Fast forward to 8mths after purchase and the truck began to have a faint smell of burnt oil coming from the vents. No other mechanical issues. Since the truck is under "warranty" we took to the dealership for inspection. We were hit with $8000 worth of issues :( and zero support from the dealership or warranty company. I was without a truck for 3mths while we waited on long term back ordered parts, also had to save to have the issue fixed. Thankfully the community recommended Agape because they installed our parts for a reasonable price. After having a few issues after installation and a couple a trips back and forth they fixed the problem. It's been a week now and the truck seems to be running great, no more burnt oil! Yay! read more

Brought in my vehicle to install catalytic converter shield and this guys did a great job! Quick and affordable services offered here!

Called to see if we could check on the a/c on a vehicle we just purchased privately and they were able to do it same day. We arrived and they were kind and honest. They got us in quickly and even took a look at underneath the vehicle and checked everything out at no extra charge. Thank you! It's hard to find good and honest mechanics. read more

This frikin place tried to repair my cracked engine mount with jb weld. They pretend to have the love of Jesus. Last time I checked Jesus didn't slam my door hard enough to make my door come apart. Also had to take my car in 3 times for a power steering and got charged over 1200 only to be waiting for a total of 1 and a half months and get smoke blown in my face about the repairs. So many other places. Don't give these undeserving worthless excuses for mechanics another penny unless you want terrible service rude customer service and a problem that is not fixed. read more

Al and Jessica have been extremely helpful to me. Al advises me when making a decision. Not long ago he saved me a lot of money when he determined that the noise I had would eventually go away on its own. He was right. It did take a long time, but did go away! He has also told me to keep my SUV because at 11 years old it continues to run smooth and reliable. Best Nissan "truck". Thanks, Al Marlene B read more

These people suck. Agape clearly has no knowledge on transmissions or customer service for that matter. They get an effin zero. I've paid 1600 dollars for a half assed installation of a new clutch, only for me to come back after two months because of slipping clutch. Jessica was cool. It's Al and his inept "technicians" that sucked. ho seems. Sure, I provided my own parts which voided the warranty, but I expected them to at least do a good job installing the clutch. They are saying the kit is faulty (of course, because they would circumvent litigation or liability) but after two effin months?! And the car fails to start after a long drive. So in other words, the car was definitely in worse shape than when i took it in to agape. Agape are exploiting people by using the word agape in their name. I honestly thought these guys would be genuine, but that was a grave mis assessment on my end. If you have a transmission job that needs to be done, or ANY job for that matter, look elsewhere. Now I am down 1600 because they did a half assed job installing the clutch. Please for the love of god, don't get your car fixed in agape. read more

My jeep was overheating, I took it to Agape right before thanksgiving. He said he wouldn't be able to look at it until Monday & that's fine as I was in no hurry. Tuesday rolls around he calls my husband & states it's a cracked head & will be somewhere towards $4000. As my husband is driving home the Jeep starts to really overheat, I mean red lining! He pulls over on the side of the freeway & looks under the hood, seeing they did not put back on the radiator cap. We called & got the $110 back that we paid to have it diagnosed. He apologized & issued the refund. I then contacted a other mechanic & he did a pressurized test. Come find out, it's the oil cooler that was leaking & not a cracked head!! Turns out the parts & labor were only $800 compared to the $4000 Agape wanted. OMG this guy is a crook! I have a feeling he didn't even look at the jeep because the mechanic hooked it up to the tester & bam found the leak right away. BEWARE OF THIS GUY! I wish there was a no star option, cause this guy is a rip off. read more

I gave Agape Auto Repair a Zero star. took my Honda Civic to Agape in Temecula for an oil change this morning. They charged me $20 for tire rotation and tried to charge me over $60 for the HVAC and the engine filters. I'm very disappointed and will NEVER patronize this business anymore. There are plenty other quality car repair shops in the Temecula/Murrieta area so don't take your car to Agape in Temecula any more. There's nothing worse than feeling being cheated on and ripped off. This business has been in town since 1988 and still tries to disrespect their customers by this ridiculous price scams. Don't patronize Agape!! Don't pay $20 for tire rotation during a regular oil change. Later on I read that these two tricks - ripping customers off by ridiculous price on tire rotations and replacing filters - are common among auto repair shops. However, I didn't expect that Agape with 31 years of history in the community, still relies on these cheap tricks to fool customers. SO DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO AGAPE! THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!!! read more

Al at Agape is trustworthy and service is excellent. Not as cheap as some places, but you get what you pay for ! He has serviced at least 10 of my vehicles over the years and has never let us down. read more

Al has always been fair and honest, which goes along way in the auto industry!! He has advised me against certain action knowing it's not necessary and saving me money when he could have done differently. Always finds the problem with my ford, infinity, and advised me on a purchase of a Used Hyundai for my daughter! I trust Al and his prices are fair. I recommend agape with confidence. read more

Al is the most honest mechanic I've ever met. I don't normally write review updates, but I owe it to him. I have a 2002 Mitsu Galant that's been parked in my garage since October 2010. The timing belt snapped and instead of getting it fixed, I bought a new car instead. Impractical? I should think so. But due to foreseen circumstances, it was time to bring the Galant out of hiding. I knew the timing belt needed to be replaced but I didn't know that there were other components that needed upgrading as well. I also got a new starter and an Idle Control Valve. Mind you, only the dealer makes the control valve (this is an important detail that will be revisited at the end of the review). So here's a list of items that were replaced with either factory or factory-quality parts: Timing belt Water Pump Bearing (timing belt) Starter Idle Control Valve This was a major repair and my bottom line was lower than I expected. You see, Al's been in business so long that suppliers give him better deals than other mechanics. Not only that, he pays his suppliers on time. After 24 years in the same location, you can rest assured that you will get the best price on the best part for your vehicle. If you want to know how much I paid for everything, then please message me and I'll gladly gloat. But the car is running like a champ again and I only have Al to thank. This is a no-brainer... read more

It's hard when you move into a new town. My husband lucked out finding this auto shop. The fact they have been there for years, family owned. They did a great job with my husband's car. We will continue to use them for my car and my daughter's. read more

This place is not up front with there customers , Don't go here, they will tell you a price then lay it on you when it's ready that there's an additional 100$ . For something they decided to do on there own. And not even tell you. read more

If I could give more stars I would. I had just bought a used car and it broke:( I took it to Al, we thought it was fixed and as I drove it home to Hemet, it broke again. The real test of a good business is when something goes wrong. First, Al told me not to worry about the tow. He's got it covered. Then, as soon as it got back to the shop he took it out and test drove it until it did the same thing it had done to me. He even put more gas into it to make sure he knew what it was doing. Then he brought it back and troubleshot it until the diagnosis was right. All he charged me for was the new part. It was hundreds of dollars that he knocked off right there to get it right for a brand new customer who he had never seen before. Well done Al! You have made a repeat customer! I even have a link to your website from mine:) http://www.ndfcoaching.com/ Thanks again! This is how business should be done! read more

Very disappointed with the service at Agape Auto Repair. I brought my truck in to have Al diagnose a noise that was coming from the driver's side rear wheel area. A couple of hours later he called to tell me that it was a metal shim hitting my brake disc and that he fixed it. He then asked if there was anything else I wanted him to check out since that only took him a half hour to fix the noise. So I had him take a look at my passenger window which the regulator was going out and he recommended disconnecting it, so I said yea let's do it. First thing I noticed when I went to pick up my truck was the passenger window was 1/4 rolled down, since the regulator was disconnected I couldn't roll it up, so I had him fix it right there not a big issue but just looked like the job was rushed, being it was a Friday at 4pm. Driving away, not a block away I heard the noise again, so I turned around and brought it back. Al said let's go for a ride and he hopped in and I pointed out the noise to him as we drove, he said "oh that, that's nothing, that's not a big deal." To me, that is not the point, I brought my truck in for him to diagnose and fix a specific noise coming from my drivers side rear wheel area, which he obviously did not do and just brushed me off. As I drove home the noise got louder which I was not happy with. Upon arriving home I noticed my drivers side rear tire had a gash in the sidewall and I had to get it replaced. I called Al at 4:54 that Friday and he did not answer or call back, so Monday I got my tire replaced and went in to Agape to talk to Al. He instantly got defensive when I brought up my tire gash and I said "look I'm not here to argue with you, i just want you to know I am very disappointed in your work, it seemed rushed and not very thorough." I was charged $175 for this service and ended up needing to get a new tire, so all in all, lesson learned, I am posting this to warn others in the area. Al seems like a good guy, but who ever he has working in the back seems in-experienced and not very detail oriented and that is a direct reflection on Al and his business. read more

I can't say enough about Al and his business. Always, for years, doing the right thing by their customers. Front desk is knowledgeable and super helpful. Went in this time for brake pads and rotors (so we thought) and they called us the next day and said we don't need either. Wow !! We were elated to save the $$.

I thought I was going to have a AC belt replaced...however, upon examination, I had a mouse infestation inside my engine. Just nothing worse!! I was treat by everyone with professionalism and extreme kindness. Al, the owner, jumped into the situation once the problem was revealed. He was very compassionate and informative as we worked through the problem. I will never go any place else after this ordeal. They were polite and patient, and helped me come to terms with a rough situation. Thank you Agape, Al and everyone involved. read more

I DO NOT recommend this place. I was given a price over the phone then suddenly $100 was added when I was ready to pick up. They even took out my new air filter and put the disgusting old one back in to lower the price. read more

I'm new to Temecula and searched for a mechanic I could trust with my cars. I didn't have any referrals to go to so I had to find a shop on my own. I decided to take my car to Agape and have to say I couldn't be happier with their service, prices and honesty. I am stoked to find a shop that pride's itself on relationships with their customers. In today's day and age it's virtually impossible to find. If you are searching for a place you can always count on to have your best interest at heart then Agape Auto Repair is your place. read more

I am truly impressed with the attention and great care given to my 2002 Chevy prism. They are highly detail oriented here and will take their time with repairs until they believe your car is in excellent condition. I also really appreciate Al's honesty and his ability to explain everything going on. I highly recommend Agape Auto Repair and will be happy to be a returning customer! :) read more

Inland Empire's exemplary mechanic! I have had multiple cars maintained in one way or another through Agape within the past 3 to 4 years. The owner, Al, is everything you want from a mechanic and portrays an incredibly courteous, friendly, cheerful, professional and honest character. You are not left with any doubts or wondering what you paid for - as a female 20-something - this is a very comforting feeling! So today I noticed a bolt in my garage accompanied by rattling and vibration from my engine while driving in 1st and 2nd gear. I immediately gave Al a call to tell him what I had found. Without hesitation, he invited me to bring the car in to have a look at where the bolt came from. Thank God I did - the mount from which the bolt fell out from was shot! Al quoted me fair and reasonable prices for parts and labor. He told me honestly what needed attention right away and what I could wait to repair if I was strapped for cash. He gave me realistic options without pressuring the work to be done at his shop. I was able to go to work, leave the car at the shop while they had the repairs done by the end of the work day! I highly recommend Al and his family's shop for any auto maintenance/repair :) read more

My first time here. Al was very nice as previously noted in prior reviews. The problem with my car was bigger than I hoped as I suspected...here's the kicker: Al had a guy from an auto body shop come and inspect & advise on my car, like it was nothing!!! He estimated the time & possible cost associated with the necessary repairs...next thing I know, I'm leaving with the promise of a best case scenario quote to follow.... What you might have missed is this, he didn't say, sorry, I can't help you, go down the street & talk to some other guy, take more time out of your day, incur charges at his shop. Then come find me later to fix it later. No smoke & mirrors...the phone calls etc were right in front of me, no odd feeling that. "I really don't need most of this stuff he's suggesting but I probably should get it done before something bad happens" I will definitely be back. I have cars, they have some minor issues, we're going to Agape. read more

I've been coming here for years. They always offer honest, friendly, and efficient service.

This place is terrible. Came in for an estimate and dude at front counter was extremely rude! Basically told me it was too close too closing time. Even though it was 430, they close at 5. Just being a lazy asshole. I came in with list of repairs and I was basically shooed out of the office. Could've just took down my name and number and got back to me with estimate. What a dickhead. 0 stars!!! read more

Al and his team are very polite and professional, when I went to get my 2006 Honda accord's front right wheel bearing replaced, they were able to get me in and out within an hour of me coming in at the last minute, I'm very appreciative for all their hard work and understanding and I will definitely be coming back as a regular! read more
