When I was calling around to find out about getting my car fixed he was the only person I spoke with who was willing to look at it for free and gave me a quote over the phone. He even suggested things I could try to fix it myself before bringing it in. Needless to say he was very helpful, polite and accomodating. He told me to bring it in whenever I could, which was right away. When I got there he came and greeted me and went straight to checking my car out. He said he would give me a call in awhile when he looks more into it. I received a phone call about three hours later with the exact price and that it would be ready the next day. I was extremely pleased with the job and service. He even topped off my oil and made other maintenance suggestions without being pushy. Reasonable priced, great, fast, friendly, and their helpfulness has turned me into a return customer. read more

I think Iove this guy. Our battery died. We got a jump and called at 4:10 pm and said we were on the way. He Ordered the battery; it's :445 now and we are leaving. read more

I've been bringing my vehicle here for about a year, when I leave my wallet isn't heavily dented and my vehicle is back on the road within hours. Honest, reliable, and friendly. Bernie is all about taking care of his customers, not making a sleazy buck! I wish more business owners operated like him. read more

Bernie is an honest, local, mechanic who does excellent work, is fair, and is not going to try to make you fix a bunch of things when you don't need it. I have been coming here for years, and he is the best around. This is a true (mom and) pop business. Lovely photos of the family and lots of personal touches. Highly recommended! read more

Best mechanic ever. Bernie has been taking care of my family's vehicular needs for almost 40 years now. A family friend and a trusted mechanic. I've been taking my own cars to him for 10 years now and he has ALWAYS been respectful and he always works hard to make sure I understand the problem with my vehicle. But the thing that has always kept me coming back is that he works with me on paying for my car. He understands that not everyone has an extra $900 laying around for a sudden car problem. He really is the greatest mechanic I've dealt with. I've sent 3 friends to him and each of them came out extremely happy. Go Bernie! read more

My van started having issues this morning, the check engine light came on and it wouldn't idle right. This had me totally stressed out as I am on a road trip up California. So I looked up a mechanic and Cuevas came up. I came over after calling and he immediately took a look. His attitude was not only friendly but also very personal and "real". He advised me that I had probably had a bad batch of gasoline. He didn't charge me anything and even have new a tour of his garden. I feel like I have a mechanics consultant and a new friend. Couldn't be happier with my stop at the garage this morning. EDIT The problem persisted and got worse. If I weren't as experienced a driver it could have been quite dangerous as it was stalling coming off of highways and while taking tight turns on winding mountain roads. I wish he had taken a closer look. Problem was solved today by a hard working shop in East Bay near SF. Squirrels had chewed out my floor board cables. read more

I called this automotive repair shop at the last minute. I needed my car battery charged right away. Without an appointment, the owner received my car and took care of my issue. He was professional, courteous, and helpful. And... his pricing was more than fair. Thank you to Cuevas Automotive! read more

I highly recommend Cuevas Automotive. I was searching for an auto repair shop in the area when my brother's vehicle stalled near 5-Points. Not knowing anyone in the area, I was impressed by Cuevas Automotive's high ratings. I was not disappointed when I brought the car in the shop late in the afternoon. Bernie and his wife greeted us in the office. Very friendly and courteous, even though it was at the end of a very hot day. Bernie is a straightforward, no-nonsense kind of guy who will treat you like family. He explained that he would look at the car that day but because it was near closing time, he wouldn't be able to work on it until the next day. But he called me within the hour to explain what was wrong. We agreed to replace the very old leaking radiator, and he ordered it immediately. He even checked all fluid levels free of charge and filled up the oil which was running low. All work was done in less than a day, even though his shop was full. He made sure to test the radiator before giving me a call that the car was ready for pick up. Bernie even showed us the old parts that were replaced. I am glad we found an honest auto shop in the area. I will be coming back here for future auto repairs. read more

I'm here for the first time, my brother referred Bernie to me. I think Bernie is a very nice man, he is honest and I really like the service here. I think his price is good and the main thing is that he is very nice and a good guy. read more

The best experience I've ever had dealing with car repair. Helped me find someone who would come out and jump my car quickly so I could drive my car in and get a new battery installed and I was on my way. Fast, personable, and reasonable. This will be my first stop when I need car repair in the future. read more

Bernie is the man! He replaced my transmission, rear differential, shocks, and oil pan gasket. He said I can now drive my chevy up to 300k miles... I highly recommend him. read more

I bought a used car in February. Like any used car from a private seller, there's problems. I took it to Bernie and have never been happier with a mechanic! He replaced my transmission, tail light, blinker relay, and other things(small things). When it came to my transmission he gave me the code and even the name of other mechanics if I wanted to price shop! What mechanic does that?! I'll tell you; an honest one! Everyone else was really expensive so I went back to Bernie and wouldn't have had it done anywhere else. He's very honest & straight to the point. He even tells you things you'll eventually need re done but aren't priority! Very realistic and understanding! You won't be disappointed with ANYTHING he does!!!!! read more

Awesome service, great guys! I took my car to a prior mechanic who gave mechanics a horrible reputation, Cuevas has changed my outlook on honest mechanics, they do exist! Mr. Cuevas at this shop was very friendly and honest, as well as all his staff. He actually told me I did not need a job I thought I needed. I took my car back to this shop for another job, Mr. Cuevas charged me less than the estimated price. The reason, the job did not take as long. While other shops will charge you for breathing the air at their shop, this man is honest and friendly. I will definitely take my car here again. read more

I could sing Bernie's praises all day. Nice! Honest! Affordable prices! And really, few things are better than a good mechanic you can trust. Especially if you're dealing with the trauma of getting your car fixed, before a smog test. I brought my car to him with confidence, as a friend of mine had referred him to me, and I will suggest to anyone who will listen that they bring their cars to him, too. read more

Bernie is the best mechanic around! Extremely reasonable prices and honest work, he tells you what needs to be done with no BS. I have brought multiple cars here, both mine and my boyfriend's, and it is always done in a reasonable amount of time with no problems. Would recommend for any of your mechanic-needs. read more

I was referred here by a couple of friends and I'm glad they did. Bernie is super nice and honest mechanic. He does good work, doesn't try to sell you unnecessary stuff and is quick. It's good to have a reliable local mechanic. read more

Definitely the shop to go for your automotive needs! Bernie's an expert and saved me from selling my car. He took his time to diagnose and explain what the issues were without any fees. I wasn't pressured into anything and he was very helpful. Dude is awesome and has a lot of stories, go ahead and chat with him for a couple of minutes! He reminds me of that butcher in the movie gangs of new york, lookalike! read more

Very good work done. Bernie took the time to find and charge me the best price possible. He saved me a great amount of money, did an excellent job, and was very friendly & helpful. He will be my permanent mechanic ! read more

If your looking for an honest and reliable mechanic I HIGH RECOMMEND and when I say highly recommend that's putting it lightly, Bernie at Cuevas Automotive in Oxnard. Bernie is very personable and makes you feel comfortable in dealing with him because he's not a mechanic that's going to put the screws to you and recommend or charge you for something you don't need done to your vehicle. This is my first time going to him, and now Bernie has a lifetime customer in me, I won't take any of my cars anywhere else. read more

I've been going to Mr. Cuevas for about a year now, took my truck and my mothers car in a few times and every time Mr. Cuevas tells it to you straight, doesn't BS, gives you options, does an exceptional job and his quotes and prices are reasonable. He is legit as they come and an asset in the mechanic industry that is riddled with charlatans and scumbags! But Mr. Cuevas is far from them and that! read more

Great mechanic! Honest and fair pricing. Highly recommended!

Bernie is out front with his customers and transparent with a sense of trust. . a very capable and responsible mechanic.

Bernie is knowledgeable, honest, hospitable and genuine! I definitely recommend him as a mechanic. I came in with an issue with a bearing and he fixed it in 2 hours! A lot of work, fast service. Reasonable prices and doesn't not try to sell you on other B.S! Thanks Bernie! read more

I took my car to get a transmission service, which was a drainage of the old fluid in with the new. I had my own transmission oil. The price was affordable the service was great. Overall said and done great. Even walked away learning a thing or two of the transmission fluid. read more

Hello everyone, this man is the best mechanic I have ever known!! I happen to come to his shop by a recommendation and I took my car there for years, always honest, reasonable and fast. well I had moved to LA but I still recommend Bernie to friend's & family, I'm back in Ventura and my truck won't start , so I'm off to see Bernie and I'm not stressed my tummy isn't tied up in a knot like I use to be when I would go to get an estimate. If you need you're car checked out this is the place to go, if not its on you, you have been given the best advice by a bunch of people on this site that ain't even related to this man!! have a beautiful day. read more

It's very hard to find an honest person in any industry let alone automotive. I was beyond impressed with the service I received from Bernie and his wife. My car was having some major issues. He was honest with me in price and what he thought it needed. I would definitely recommend Cuevas Automotive to all my friends and family. Thanks Bernie! read more

I love Bernie!! As with the previous reviews, I must agree with all of them 100%. The first thing you will read is that he is honest. I can't express enough how honest this guy is. He tells you exactly what is going on, he won't push or pressure you into making a decision unless every other option has been expired. He understands that maintenance on any vehicle is costly and we, as Southern Californians, use our vehicles as a means to live. You can tell right off the bat, he's not trying to scam you, he isn't out to get your money or continuously finding "things" to "repair". He is legit and trustworthy. And the labor and price of parts are so reasonable. I don't really want to put myself out there like this, but I do not make a lot of money and I only get paid once a month. Bernie will go over with me what to repair, replace or maintain on my truck (he explains everything in great detail), afterward he will tell me the price of everything, and then he will go over with me what is crucial to work on and what I can wait on until I get paid again. There is no b.s. with this guy at all. Most importantly, you can tell he loves what he does... and that right there will keep any business owner honest and humble. read more

GOTTA agree with every other review here! Bernie was recommended to me by a co-worker whose family has been going to Cuevas Automotive since he was a young kid (he's about 30 now.) Bernie was QUICK, INFORMATIVE, HELPFUL, VERY REASONABLE and a really nice guy to boot! I would definitely recommend Cuevas Automotive to everyone I know, and am REALLY glad that I took my friends' recommendation........do yourself a favor, take mine.....he's GREAT! read more

Bernie is the most honest, friendly, knowledgeable mechanic. My family and I have been going to Bernie for years, I recommend him highly.

Very real and reliable mechanic!! Hold no bars without any ulterior motive except to help you!! Bernie is a person proud of his profession with the willingness to go the extra mile to help with Very Reasonable and Fair price!! Seek him and experience his expertise in person!! True to the word, he seems to know you as a family of his read more

We moved here from NJ five years ago, and didn't know what mechanic to go to. We are so lucky to have found Bernie Cuevas within our first few months. He's knowledgable, friendly and efficient. Plus he's very honest and will never talk you into work you don't need. read more

I called today because I had a check engine light on, so I asked for price and time of diagnostics and the wait time. He just said to come right in, he would take care of me and he wouldn't charge me for using the Scanner. And true to his word, I came in, he was very friendly, checked out my car, and determined that it was only a faulty sensor. Not to mention he also helped resolve some other minor issues I had, at no charge. He said that it didnt need to be fixed right away because it was a pretty pricey part until a smog check was needed. He didn't charge me anything for his time and he said the only thing he hopes for is when I need my smog check I come to him to get the sensor fixed, and based on his service I think I will. read more

I'm new to the area and when I needed work done on my car I dreaded looking for a mechanic. I trusted what the other reviews on here said and I was so glad I did. Super friendly, honest, fair priced, knows what he's doing. I will definitely be going back to him next time I need work done! read more

I went to Bernie out of the blue when needing a mechanic encouraged by the reviews and motivated by the funny fact that we share the same last name which is an uncommon surname in this country. I immediately joked with him about treating me fair as we were "cousins" at least somehow in the distance origins of our surname. Bernie did a great job and saved me a lot of money and now, he is my choice to serve all my vehicles. Bernie is an honest guy which is difficult to find in his trade. Last week, I brought an SUV with what I thought was a faulty transmission, a fairly expensive repair. He called me back shortly after with his diagnosis. It was just a faulty line and the transmission has lost the fluid. Less than $150 fixed the problem. 99% of chances are that any other shop will have stick to the transmission change charging thousands of dollars. read more

Great man, great mechanic. He's very transparent and tells you only what you need to really fix rather than tacking on extra charges. I wish there were more mechanics like him. read more
