I recently took my car in to get serviced as well as get a smog certification (which always makes…read moreme hold my breath given the age of the car). If you're looking for an honest, highly skilled mechanic, S & M Automotive is outstanding and checks so many boxes! I come down from Ventura to see "Shady", and his name couldn't be more ironic, because there's nothing shady about him or his work. He's been maintaining my 2005 Lexus SC430 and has saved me a boatload of money on repairs and maintenance over the years. He's respectful, friendly, and clearly takes pride in getting things right. My most recent service made the car run like it did when it was new. The engine is humming smoothly again, something I've honestly NEVER experienced after a repair or routine maintenance anywhere else and I've owned this car since 2007. And while the name S & M Automotive might make some people do a double take (hahaha), the only thing painful here is realizing how unnecessary other repair bills can be once you find a mechanic this good and dependable. If you want honest, skilled automotive service, S & M Automotive is absolutely trustworthy and dependable.

Shady and his team are wonderful to work with. The first time I took my car to S&M I ran into two…read morewomen in the waiting area that had glowing reviews for the shop. Shady was very professional and straight forward with me about what was absolutely necessary to fix and what could wait. Just this week I took my car to Firestone to get the tires rotated. I was told by Firestone my rear brakes and rotors needed to be replaced at the tune of $700. I was skeptical and called S&M for a quote. They gave me a rough estimate of $450 and told me to bring in the car the next day, because it was likely I didn't need the repair. Sure enough, when I took it to S&M, they said I could wait to replace the rear brakes. I trust S&M and Shady. I will definitely continue to take my car to them.

We all have the story about going to a mechanic and feeling ripped off and then something going wrong afterwards and we swear to never return, all I can say is if you never return then you miss out on a quality mechanic that stands behind his work and will make it right.

I do a lot of my own repairs however as I get a little older I'm finding its better having Camarillo Auto Repair to keep my cars rolling along.

We know he is honest, and skilled, a master at problem solving and has deep technical knowledge and hoped he still works after all these years, and indeed he runs this shop! Make story short , $400 later, our car is running well, and does not need a new engine like we were made to believe! All it needed was an honest and very skilled mechanic with years of experience! We are grateful for Juan! For sure, we will continue to come to him for our car needs.

Called them about a misfire on my truck. Told them all of the things I replaced and tested myself…read moreincluding spark plugs, spark plug wires, coil pack, vacuum leak check, and a full ecu reset. I am going camping in a week and needed my truck and figured since I couldn't solve this easily on my own I would take it to a professional. They quoted me $411 for two hours of diagnostic labor. They called me back and told me that they found one of my O2 sensors wasn't giving any readings. This wasn't true because I did a live scan before and after taking it to their shop and was getting o2 readings on all 3 of my sensors. So they essentially lied. They told me that they wanted to charge me another 3 hours ($600) to "keep troubleshooting". I suggested that they replace the O2 wiring and see if that resolves the issue and I would pay the labor hours for that but I was told that was not the "cause" of the misfire. After a roundabout explanation of essentially nothing new or relevant to the misfire they told me "it would be best if I just picked up the truck". They could not give me a straight answer and I was never given the opportunity to speak directly to the tech working on it or the owner. I attached a photo of the bill. The first paragraph is what I told them over the phone. The second paragraph is what they charged me $411 for. They swapped two connectors for the oxygen sensors for $400. I would not recommend this business to anyone. Keep my money, but leave this post up so people know what they're getting themselves into.

I was surprised to find that I hadn't yet left a review for KG Performance on Yelp. I've been…read morecoming to Kevin and Floyd for all of my car repairs ever since I had a horrible experience with another local shop. Kevin and Floyd are always up front, honest, and set realistic expectations in terms of time and cost. They have proven time and time again that they are a trustworthy shop that does the job right. I love that KG Performance is up-to-date with their technology. When you bring your car in, they will enter it into their system and send you an email with the results of the initial inspection. They will then send you another email with their recommendations, including a list of GOOD, BETTER, and BEST (OEM) replacements to help you budget. You can approve and pay for the maintenance right from the email, and you can even chat with the service manager if you have any questions. When the job is complete, you will receive an email notification that your car is ready for pickup. I love KG Performance and trust them with my Dodge 2500 diesel workhorse and my wife's Durango SRT8. I would even take my SRT to KG instead of the dealer. P.S. KG Performance also sells some really cool pens that have a screwdriver fitting on one end. They have a phillips head on one side and a flathead on the other, and they also have a ruler and a level. I highly recommend getting one before they run out!
