The AutoMedic was able to find hidden oil and coolant leaks, as well as identify panels that were re-painted (because of a collision) Over 300 photos, a handful of videos, lots of good information that justified the price of the PPI service. Communication was solid, absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend having a PPI service done on a car that you seriously intend to buy. You will regret not doing it once that first surprise repair bill hits.

I can't express how grateful I am for Performance Auto Repair in Costa Mesa. Even though I live all…read morethe way in Chino, something about their reviews made me feel like I could trust them -- and I was right. When my SUV overheated and the engine failed, I was overwhelmed. But the moment I spoke with them, it felt like a weight lifted. They understood exactly what was happening before they even saw the car. Instead of pushing a costly $6,000 engine replacement, Byron found a way to rebuild the engine through a machine shop, saving me thousands. That kind of honesty is rare. The repairs took time, but they never rushed. They kept us updated, checked every detail, and refused to release the vehicle until they were absolutely sure there were no leaks, no issues, no surprises. After dealing with another shop that returned our Honda Pilot with oil leaks, this level of care meant everything. What stood out most was their integrity. Their kindness. Their commitment to doing the right thing even when it takes longer or costs them more effort. If we lived closer to Costa Mesa, we'd bring every one of our vehicles here without hesitation. There truly aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am for Byron and his team. They didn't just fix my SUV -- they restored my trust in what an honest auto shop can be.

I previously left a five-star review because I had a good experience here. At the time, EU was…read morehonest enough to tell me I didn't need a tire rotation, which saved me money as a student. Because of that, I came back for multiple oil changes. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was completely different. I was charged a high price for what should have been a simple oil change and cabin/air filter replacement, and I ended up waiting about two hours for the work to be completed. After talking it through with someone more familiar with car maintenance, it became clear that I was likely overcharged for a job that should have been quicker and more reasonably priced. What made the experience worse was the interaction before my appointment. When I asked for clarification about being told I may need "air," EU laughed at me for asking. I'm neurodivergent and sometimes take things more literally, so I was just trying to confirm whether I was being charged for something that is often free. Instead of explaining, I felt mocked for asking a simple question. Because of this experience, I no longer feel comfortable or confident returning here. I'm sharing this as a caution for other customers--especially women and neurodivergent people--who may not be as familiar with car maintenance and rely on mechanics to be honest, respectful, and transparent.

I used to go to mechanics in Santa Ana but was not always able to get the services I needed. Now with a new car, I was tired of getting price gouged for a simple oil change at the dealership. At Harbor Auto Service, Mike and John get the job done at an affordable price and take customer service to the next level. For example, when you have already paid and are all set, they park the car right outside for you and send you on your way. They are respectful and take the time to explain what is wrong with the car and give you plenty of options. They also have a nice waiting room with a tv, couches, and offer water as you wait. I have been here twice, and each time has been pleasant. I am already recommending them to all of my friends and family as a solid, trusted choice!

Gave me a quick and easy quote for a battery replacement, and set me up for someone to come to my home to replace my battery. Was able to stay in touch via text, to address any other concerns or questions of mine, which was helpful. Took just a little under an hour for service to get to my home. When arrived, Britt was the one who took care of me. He was professional and very friendly. Stated that replacing the battery should take about 30mins to complete, however, he completed it just within 20mins! Cost was reasonable, given that they come to you to provide service on the spot. Would have spent more if I had the vehicle towed to an auto shop and then paid for a battery service on top of that. Overall, the service that was provided was excellent, and will recommend to anyone who needs their vehicle serviced at a location of theirs.

I'm not mechanically skilled, so it was good to see how they checked for puncturing. And by extension, showing that work is being done. Some other shops will say they did services but just cold pitch it to upsell. I appreciate the team for helping me get on my way. Because they are dedicated to helping people, I'd definitely recommend them. Thank you again.

I'm in a newer car now, so I might not be visiting until it's no longer dealer maintained, but Jeff was wonderful to work with and a very honest person. I'm sort of leaving this as a thank you for that service, knowing I might not be able to return for awhile. His service was also provided during a tough time in my life. He always charged me a fair price which is why I respect him a lot. I've never had a BS service recommended by him. Everything is "hey, look at this" or "this is what is wrong".

When I took my car to Chevy, they were so unprofessional and dumb. I had James explain what's going on with my vehicle and how Chevy had to honor my warranty, but Chevy Costa Mesa were being lazy. They didn't even look at the vehicle but diagnosed it just by hearing it. I brought my vehicle back to James and he took pictures and referred me to HB Chevy and he didn't charge me. James and his shop are truly about the people and getting their vehicle fixed. His shop and customer service is something every auto shop should emulate. I will always go to this shop for my auto needs. Chevy Costa Mesa can get bent. Thank you again James for you and your crew.

He's knowledgeable, honest, and practical about what your vehicle actually needs -- what should be handled now and what can wait. That kind of transparency is rare. Max is also a man of his word. If he tells you he can do something, you can trust that he'll follow through. I originally found Max here on Yelp while looking for someone to help with a routine Service A on my 2018 Range Rover HSE Td6. Since then, he's done a number of maintenance items for me, and the truck has been running great through multiple trips and adventures. Work he's done includes: Cabin filter replacement (at cost -- very reasonable) Front and rear differential fluid service Transfer case oil service Coolant system flush and refill Brake fluid refresh Transmission service Routine diesel maintenance, including DEF refills when needed I've also called him for a few other things over time, and he's always been responsive and able to handle them quickly and conveniently. If you have a Range Rover or similar vehicle and want someone you can trust for maintenance and service, Max is a great alternative to going to the dealer.

He was able to replace all the parts and have my car ready by 5 PM. I simply picked it up and drove safely home 400 miles. I have also had Mikes replace a starter on my daughter's car this year. I met Mike and his father Mike and his brother works there also. They are the nicest and cleanest most competent mechanics, which creates such a pleasant experience. I feel they are honest and do a fantastic job. If everyone ran their business, as well as this family, life would be much easier.
