I've read all the bad reviews on here. I don't know if it's because they want to sabotage the guy. I think the owners name is nacho, like the food. The guy fixed my car and did the best job ever. My wheel kept shaking as well and everyone kept telling me it was a different thing he told me exactly what it was and fixed it. And guarantees his work. I was kind of skeptical because the place is small and looks like a mom-and-pop general repair place. I would definitely go again! read more

Aris Garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Oxnard, California

Last Sunday my wheel bearings on the passenger side went out, BADLY. I live in Pine Mountain Club, which normally means horrible services, if any, and if you do-at high prices. So, I called the main number and left a message hoping to get in early on Monday. To my surprise (closed Sundays) Nacho called back in minutes, called people away from the Mountain for parts, ....and the result? I was back on the road in 4 hours from the time I called to leave the message and BOTH front end wheel bearings were done. Nacho is a saint with reasonable prices, don't believe the trolls. Your vehicle will be in good hands! read more

At first we thought he was good, but after the initial time we took our vehicles in he would always spike the charges up. Say one price then call and say he found something else wrong. Last straw was when our engine went out and he stated 1250$ for a rebuild next thing he calls and says it can't be rebuilt and says $2000 , we say no way go to get our truck n he's charging us a tear down charge we never agreed to. So in order for us to get our truck out we had to give him 360$ and it was never put back together cause he said that would be another $360. Which later I found out that was absolutely illegal and against the bureau of automotive repairs guidelines.. We took our truck to another mechanic and had the same engine rebuilt for half of what he was charging. His invoices are not done up to code either. We now have a lawsuit against him for this unethical practice he's doing. He also repaired our suburban from the check engine light $800 later we pass smog and engine light came back on and still on till now.. He also repaired our sons car and his partner there left a small wrench in the gasket area of the car he drove it all the way to Washington with a clink only to take it up there to chevron to find the missing tool. Three times your out!!!! read more

I had taken my car to get a oil change an get the engine looked at. it was in the afternoon i picked it up just before they closed. when i get home i see i am now smoking from burning oil. I can there # which is his cell phone an set up an appointment. he calls an tells me i need a new head gasket. when they took my head off they striped the the valve cover an then tried to lie about it an said that the way i brought it in. this was argued for a 3-5 mins then he put on a show to pretend to talk to the guy that really worked on my car. which was news to me because hes the one that went to school not this hire hand from who knows where. then once i pulled out pictures with the time stamp he re did the head gasket while i watched him. only to have the issue not fixed. he then trys to tell me i need to do a rebuild on the whole engine going to be like $2000-$2200... Keep in mind i went to get an oil change with nothing wrong going into this place.... So i used My AAA an had my car towed to another garage an they found a my oil return line had been not hooked back up or had been disconnected.... took them 20 mins to fix what they could not an saved me from getting ripped off by this shady crook for $2k read more

I've had two jobs done here and Nacho is the Best!! He is knowledgeable, has accurate diagnostics and extremely reasonable pricing. I replaced the water pump on my 210,000 mile car ..in and out same day,, and advised me on other items..(didn't try to sell me or charge me extra)... that needed replacing. It made sense to replace them, since he was taking them off anyway! The main thing for me....I trust him! read more

Nacho Castillo of Ari's Garage is the Most Dishonest Mechanic I have ever done business with. I hired him to replace the Gear Oil in my Differentials. He put the Gear Oil in where the Transmission Fluid goes. It ruined the Transmission - and had to be replaced. A $7000 Mistake. He never apologized for His Mistake or Accepted Responsibility - as he should have. Nacho is becoming known as 'The Mechanics Mechanic' in Pine Mountain Club - once he's worked on your car, you'll probably have to take it to an Honest Mechanic to be repaired correctly. Also, he Falsely Advertises on Facebook that he has a 5 Star Google Rating - which he does not. HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!....Mike King of King Insurance Services in Pine Mountain Club, California read more

My SUV was stuck in the drive way, would not start , Ignacio (Nacho) came by, in extremely cold weather , did various diagnostic checks and got the vehicles running again and took care to clean electrical connections and do a good job.... saved me having to have the vehicle towed. great job , Thank you ! read more

Ari's garage is a definite good mechanic shop. He is very reasonable with his rates. Will recomend to everyone I know.

Excellent service! Nacho (I hope I have his name right) was super helpful. I needed a new water pump, timing belt, and tension belt. I called around to several different shops and Aris Garage matched (actually beat) the lowest price that I could find. I was in and out when I picked up my car and they went the extra mile. My car was washed and Nacho offered to put on my front license plate that had been sitting on my dashboard. I would definitely go back. I had the work done over a month ago and my car is running smoothly. Thanks! read more

Took in my vehicle to get an oil change AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION and drove it around thinking the work had been done correctly. Unfortunately that was not the case. That place had gone under new ownership and they lacked in their quality of work. Nacho was able to fix my vehicle and even contact the mechanics at the other shop to help us ensure they'd take ownership for their actions and bring awareness to the issues it was causing other owners. He was constantly giving us updates and sending us pictures, and even physically showed us the issues he had found. Base off of my experience with him he is a honest man and i would return to his shop. read more

****The WORST SHOP EVER!! He CHARGED ME $3,500 PLUS AN EXTRA $250 AND LEFT MY CAR EVEN WORSE!!!!!! I Told Nacho to fix my 91 Lexus LS400. My Transmission, my oil pan, along with a full tune up/ break job and to check my power steering due to leakage. He held my car for 13 days ! He told me he changed my Differential and my power steering is fine. He "changed" my transmission but still slipping first and second gear! He only resealed my heads because he told me I had gunk around my heads which I never asked him to do. (He charged an extra $250) He then told me he had to replace my transmission and engine sensors ; which leads to my MPH not working (He blamed me and kept ASKING me IF I AM SURE THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WORKED AND IF SO TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. IF IT'S RELATED TO HIS WORK HE'LL FIX IT) ...... LMFAO! Like Really??? All he did was screw up my speedometer, Never changed my transmission, replace minor sensors, replace my front end which looked used off another vehicle and burned me for the little money I had! With that money I could of bought a more reliable vehicle with no problems! ****NEVER EVER BRING YOUR BUSINESS TO THIS SHOP OR ANY OTHER MECHANIC SHOPS IN COMMERCIAL AREA!!!! I WILL REPORT THIS TO THE BBB & THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU WILL SHUT DOWN ALL THESE RIP OFF PLACES!!!!! read more

He gave me an estimate to replace the clutch, timing belt and do the front brakes. Then after the car was in the shop he raised the price by almost a third. When the car came back, there was a grinding noise when the car was started. He claimed the noise had always been there; I had NEVER heard that noise. He then said I needed a new starter. A new starter made no difference. I took the car to to three other mechanics: all said that the flywheel was not engaging properly with the starter. One measured the voltage the battery was charging when starting the car and it is 600 amps, instead of 200 amps normally. Because the starter is drawing on the battery to overcome the bad flywheel connection. He denied this completely. It was hard to get the facts as he does not list parts by the part number or manufacturer, so I do not know what clutch he actually put in. Now after the 7500 mi warranty is over, the clutch is slipping badly in first gear. I have had several cars with manual transmission and have never had a clutch problem with low mileage. I have had to wholesale the car out, after having spent $2750.00 on repairs just 8500 mi. ago. He makes up stories as he goes along, and I believe he was in way over his head with this car. He also admitted that he had had to stay up past midnight to finish the work - he did not answer the phone when the car was due to be finished and was not. He response to my complaints was to start yelling denials. Use at your own risk! read more

This shop is awesome. Aris Garage will save you money and do the job right - period. If you go anywhere else in Ventura County it's a mistake. People who are hones like this deserve all the business they get and you will not regret it. Lawyers, Doctors, Auto Mechanics - you need a good one you can trust. Why go get ripped off somewhere else when you know you have a good one right under your nose. Used to take my car all the way to S.F Valley to get fixed - just to find someone i trust but now I can go to Aris in Oxnard - you should too. read more

I went to Aris's Auto Repair on August 26, 2015 for a warranty repair job on oil leaks (Valve Cover Gasket replacement). Nacho said the oil leaks were coming from the "distributor" but he had the VCG replaced anyway (He used Cheap RTV Silicone vice rubber gasket). On October 1, 2015, I went back because the oil leaks continued to go on. This time Nacho said that a couple of bolts were bent that caused the leaks and I was told to order the parts from the dealership. Several days later, I went back to the shop and he installed the new bolts. Despite the new bolts, the leaks continued. I was then advised to buy a RUBBER GASKET (cost $45) from the dealership. I listened to him because I just wanted this issue to be resolved. On November 4, 2015, I went back to his shop and he installed the rubber gasket. The next day, I checked for leaks and discovered that about a 1/2 inch of the rubber gasket was protruding and the oil was still leaking. I went back to the shop and they tried to fix it again. Afterward, a little piece of the rubber gasket was still protruding, but the oil leak was finally resolved but I don't know how long it will held up. read more
