This is the estimate California auto sport text me today. There was nothing wrong with the parts.
claudette h.

So I've been taking my car to this mechanic for a few years now. Normally, he tells me what needs to be done and I just tell him to do it. My car has a reoccurring problem with the noise in the brakes when I go in reverse. They fixed it in January but I don't remember what they did. So I took it back to him today. I dropped my car off and told him that I would call him later. Within a half an hour I got an estimate, via text message,for about $1100! for some reason, my gut was telling me something was wrong. I just didn't believe he was being honest, So I picked up my car and went to another mechanic. He explained that the noise I was experiencing was the brake pads were not Honda brake pads and that it was normal for the brakes to make that noise. He then he proceeded to show me the parts my mechanic wanted to replace. There was nothing wrong with any of them. They looked brand new. California auto sport was trying to take advantage of me. I'm not sure how many times in the past they've done that to me, I've never checked, but I'm sure glad for my gut feeling this time. It saved me $1000. I hope this review helps someone else not get ripped off! Shame on them!

TLDR: First time experience here wasn't the best, I recently bought a used car and decided to get an inspection done on it. - I turned in my car at 10:30a and I didn't get my car back until 4:30p. From 10:45a to 1:00p, I did not receive any call back with an update on my car - until I called for an update at 1:02p - They withheld information, not letting me know that I needed my transmission fluid replaced until checkout, when they were closed I left feeling like my car was a low priority job, hence why I didn't receive an update call. Yusaf showed no attention to detail, and didn't outline all the information when asked multiple times, making this experience unprofessional. I had high hopes of becoming a regular here, but I will not be coming back here again. Complete details, with pricing, and timestamps below. Receipt and spreadsheet attached. Visit date: 10/05/2024, on a Saturday. *California AutoSport closes at 2:00p on Saturdays. I turned in my car at 10:30a and I didn't get my car back until 4:30p. From 10:45a to 1:00p, I did not receive any call back with an update on my car. I called in at 1:02p to check the status of my car, it wasn't until then they provided me with its information. On the phone call Yusaf said that I needed the following: [ Suggested Repairs (Price)] - Replace a leaky coolant tube ($193) - Replace my brakes and plates ($476) - Replace the AC compressor, since coolant dripped on it ($749) - Recharge the AC compactor ($139) - Inspection ($95) Total: $1638 I created an Excel spreadsheet with all the items and their individual pricing during that phone call. I approved of the following: [ Approved Repairs (Price) ] - Replace a leaky coolant tube ($193) - Replace my brakes and plates ($476) ~ Inspection ($95); this was apparently removed Total: $697 Estimated time to complete approved jobs, as said by Yusaf: 1.5 hours Actual time it took to complete (not including no updates from 10:45a to 1:00p): 3 hours At 4:00p, Yusaf called me letting me know that my car was ready. I live only about a 5-minute away, so biking there is not an issue. When I got there I reviewed what we talked about on the phone, and what was done - I talked to Yusaf - from when I dropped off my car, and had the update call with. It wasn't until then that Yusaf told me that the transmission fluid had to be replaced because it was dirty. That surprised me because he didn't mention it during update call, and he would recommend the replacement of a AC compressor - which is a $749 job, over the replacement of transmission fluid, which is only $130. I expressed this confusion to Yusaf, getting confirmation that he didn't bring up the transmission fluid replacement during the call, and even telling them that I would have much preferred to have my transmission fluid replaced during this visit as well. Yusaf created an excuse saying "Oh, I didn't think it was in your budget." If I were to do all the suggested items, the total would have been $1638. With the jobs I had them do, the total was $697. I'm a completely-remote engineer and professional; adding on $130 towards something mechanical in the car is not an issue for me. It frustrates me that I have to go in again to get this job done- when I could have got it done all all in one hit. California AutoSport seems professional, and Yusaf was nice and open to answering any questions I had. I just wish that he were more attentive at that time and provided all the information up front, rather than last minute telling me that a certain job needs to be done during check out. A part of me believes my car was a low priority job, hence why I didn't receive an update call. I can understand focusing on high priority jobs - I work with contractors/subcontractors all the time - but this really felt like Yusaf showed no attention to detail, and didn't outline all the information when asked multiple times, making this experience unprofessional. I had high hopes of becoming a regular here, but I will not be coming back here again.

Missing Engine cover for underside of car.

After Repair, Engine cover or splash guard under side of engine compartment missing along with all the hardware. Went back to have cover installed. The shop owner discarded part with/out notifying us. I believe they owe us a new cover plus hardware. They gave me excuses instead of results.

My Honda s2000 was having AC trouble so I decided to take it to CAS, they explained everything to me and what the problem would be. Very professional and honest. Their pricing is affordable with competitive prices for all services. Yusaf and his team are very knowledgeable at what they do. - Highly recommend this auto repair shop - Clean and cool waiting area - Good people and Great prices - Takes Credit card payments

D & S have skillful mechanics and charge reasonable prices. I brought my Subaru in with a leak near the oil pan, and I thought the worst, Tom would find other damages and the cost would be $300-$400, it was way less, ~$158. The leak was only damage he found. He kept the car an extra day to test that the repair fixed the leak, putting extra time in and not charging. Leak fixed. Upon picking up my car I relieved the cost was reasonable, and I admitted to being nervous about a large bill because I just lost my job. He felt bad about that, and this is where Tom is a great human being: he didn't charge me! He said, "Since you lost your job, we're square." Unbelievable! I didn't expect sure an awesome gesture! I felt blessed! Thank you, Tom and D & S Automotive! You have a customer for life!

The first time I visited him, I thought I had a brake issue. He checked it and told me nothing was urgent and that I could easily drive another 5,000 miles before replacing the brakes. He didn't even charge me and told me to come back when the work was actually needed. That level of honesty is rare. More recently, I had a fuel pump issue, and Tom squeezed me into his busy schedule, prioritized my repair, and gave me a great price without compromising on quality. His work is top-notch and his prices are very fair. With cars, you need someone you can truly trust, and Tom is that person for me. I'm grateful I found him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest mechanic who provides excellent work at a fair price. Tom is the guy!

A cylinder head was my problem…read more I've tried two mechanics and was informed that they won't do in-engine repairs. It was a NYE evening and I met the owner, Aldo. I asked him if he does in-engine repairs. Store was closed on New Year's Day, of course. So, I brought my car in on Thursday. We spoke, he informed me the worst I needed to hear. He offered me two scenarios. Either re-bore the cylinder of my 100k engine or get a new engine. I made an effort to find one on eBay. After finding one, Aldo made it easy on me by talking to the seller of the engine.. He ended up purchasing the engine and of course, I'd pay Pro Touch Repairs after install. It only had 25k miles. During repairs, Aldo kept me informed about the repairs needed. One was waiting for a special tool. I decided to ask Aldo to add Bilstein struts. We had understandable issues during the repair that slowed the repairs for three weeks. Yet, he had no problem with my car on his lift for so long. Luckily, for me, my cousin lent her car out to me in exchange for taking care of her dog while she settled in her life. Long story shorten, Aldo is a patient, honest, and excellent mechanic that has gained my confidence to become my future mechanic.

I'm glad I took a chance and tried them. The price was reasonable and I had my car back within a day. By the way they saved me from having to buy a new engine which would've run me about $1200 minimum. Luckily the ex would've got it for me for 700 but that's only because he works in the industry. The only luck I've had in the last six years is bad! This is about the only good thing that's happened in my Most recent week, where both cars broke down within three days of each other. There I was in the middle of the night trying to find a tow truck because the mechanic I was going to take it to said he would tow it for me and ended up telling me he was too busy to do it. I remembered that my neighbor for 13 years across the street drove a tow truck for this company so I figured I'd give them a try. By the way the tow truck driver, my old neighbor is the nicest guy so make sure you tell him I said hello. "Hi Efrin!"
