New owners! I was refer by Alex Auto to come here for a smog check. I waited for about 30 mins as there were a few cars before me. Overall I'm satisfied with the service. I paid $50. read more

If you are looking for honest, trustworthy and hardworking mechanic, this is the shop. Owned by a father and son who are both reliable, has good problem solving skills, and good customer service. They also have a clean and organized shop. I trust them with my car not only with their expertise but the value of the money they charge. Really worth it!!! read more

Took my car here for an oil change. John was very fair and honest. He even checked my tires and fluids at no additional cost. He also let me know my alignment was off and to make sure to keep an eye on it. I already knew this but was impressed that he caught it! Overall, great experience here. Fast and friendly service. Just wished there was a vending machine here. I had to run accross the street to find some snacks while I waited. They did offer coffee though! read more

Don Auto Center - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I am so thankful that this place was still up and running back in January. As a long time customer, I was preparing for a trip to snowy CO for a few months and the team here was able to walk me through what I needed on my car. They also helped fix a rattling sound on my car that another mechanic told me was my transmission that needed to be fixed (which would've put me out thousands of dollars) - turns out it was just something that needed to be tightened! Don, Jon, and the whole team are awesome and I'm a customer for life #ThankYouThursday2021 read more

WARNING!!! Brought my car in for brake service 2 months ago and came back today to complain about my brakes squeaking. They refuse to fix the problem and said that my brakes are in bad condition which does not make sense since I thought I had my brakes replaced 2 months ago. The owner and son told me maybe it's the way I was driving or the way I used my brakes??!!! PLEASE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING DONE HERE! This place is a FRAUD!!! read more

I have been going to Don and his son John for many years now, and have never been disappointed with the quality, honesty and price! Thanks guys!!! read more

My pilot was diagnosed with a severe case of tensioner pulley replacement and at the dealership it was going to cost an arm and a leg. I came to don auto center and he replaced everything for under $800.00 and it's running great. read more

I only trust my car at Don Auto Center. I have been overcharged at other Auto Repair places and Don Auto has always quoted me at a more reasonable price. They are efficient and reliable. I definitely recommend coming here for all your car service needs! read more

I brought my 2017 Subaru STi in for 3 fluid changes, oil, transmission and differential. I did all full synthetic. I dropped the car off and came back probably 1 hour 30 min later and it was finished just a few min after. Car drives smooth as butter now. I am very happy. read more

mechanic tried to hold my friends car after not doing anything for 5 hours. why would u say leave the car when you're supposedly "too busy" today. called the cops over some small reason which didn't even matter because it's wasn't a problem. and tried to remove the fuse from his car to stop him from driving, mechanic got physical and hit the top of his car. highly do not recommend this place, fire that guy immediately if he doesn't know how to conduct himself right. i wish i can give less than 1 star because that is absolutely disrespectful to his car and him. read more

I've been going to Don Auto Center for years. They were formerly on Moran Street in Westminster but when they relocated, I followed! Don's shop provides excellent, professional, and quick service for all my car needs. I've gotten oil changes, Star smog checks, brakes changed, axels changed and every other thing that my crappy car needed! What keeps me coming back is that they're honest. I'm a girl and the auto shops I've been to in the past would upcharge me for every unnecessity. Don's team keeps it real- they suggest and recommend but are never pushy! Thank goodness. Thank you Don and all the mechanics for making the process easy peasy for me! read more

I always come here to get my car serviced. I recommend calling in to see how busy they are. Oil changes are quick and priced well.

It is so challenging to find a mechanic that won't take advantage or oversell things, especially if you don't know much about cars. Don and John are truly such honest and hardworking guys and I never have to worry when I take my car here. I refer all friends and family here, especially young women! read more

My family's go to for maintenance on all our cars. Service is honest, fast, and reliable. We've shopped around a couple of places and Don's Auto has been the most consistent in terms of service and quality. Their mechanics are very knowledgeable, honest, and handsome. They don't push you to buy or pay for any services that you don't need so that's always nice. Call ahead of time to see if they're busy, they are pretty good at estimating the flow for the day and recommending a different time or day if they are too backed up. read more

I've been a longtime customer since they were on Moran St and travel approx. 35 mins from Irvine (well worth the drive). I typically visit these guys when I need an oil change and regular services. They are always straightforward about how long services will take. My recommendation is to call ahead to set up an appointment since they can get fairly busy at times! read more

The best thing about these guys are not only the cheap and reasonable prices or their quick turn around time; it is their honesty, which is hard to come by nowadays. I would come in thinking I need some things to be changed: pumps, belts, timing belts, etc; however, they would straight up tell me most of my things are still good and only need to change a few minor things. They could've made much more money off me, but they're not there to take advantage of you. Fast, cheap, honest, and reliable mechanics. These guys have me as a lifetime customer due to their honesty alone. Update 2/20/16 I recently came by to get my wheel hub replaced. I bought the wheel hub online and was planning to only pay for the labor. Well.. bad on my part... After the car was lifted the wheel hub removed on my car... My replacement part didn't fit! So they called me and suggest for me to call the dealers to place a special order since my car isn't a popular car none of the places around had them in stock. My car will be stuck on the lift for 4 days + over the weekend, I felt bad because that's one less lift for them to use. I told them to just put my new wheel bearing in my old wheel hub and take it off the lift, meaning I will have to buy another wheel bearing. Owner of the place told me, "no save your money, we don't want you to waste your money on something so small, we can still work on the other lift" which I believe they only have 2. BAM! customer for life! read more

Don Auto has been my go-to spot for basic maintenance service, ie. Oil changes, tire rotation/inflation, brakes, headlights. They provide top notch attentive service at a extremely reasonable price as well. The crew is very knowledgeable with cars old and new, even hybrid vehicles (which a lot of old school shops refuse or know how to service). They get you in and out quickly, so you have time to get all your other weekend errands outta the way too! I've always been 100% satisfied with their work, they are very helpful with follow-up questions post service as well. They are good with both English and Vietnamese languages. read more

I always come here for my car routine maintenance. They're very professional, affordable and quick with turnaround times. I always recommend them to my family and friends! read more

Love this place!! I've been here twice and there are usually a lot of cars getting work done here. But they have enough staff that I haven't waited longer than an hr. Both tines I went in was for an oil change and tire rotation at various times during the day. My morning visit was pretty darn fast, I think only 30-40mins. Even though its a new location, they used to have another place. The other place had a smog check which is what I went for. So I guess I've been to these guys 3 times then :) I would imagine they do smog check here too?.... Don't quote me on that read more

He's fantastic. He's always been honest with me and his prices are very reasonable. He's told me to not fix minor things because he said my old beater wasn't worth it - even though I know he would have made a lot of money doing so. I had been going to him for 10 years until I recently got a new car. Now I'm starting to take my wife's car there and his fantastic service continues. He's pretty responsive and timely. He's pretty accurate about estimated time of completion. His English is above average for the area. There was one time where he was unable to fix an A/C issue but that was largely because the A/C mysteriously started working as soon as I took it in - then it died 2 weeks later again but by then I got a new car and didn't care any longer. I can't say he's perfect, but I've never had any issues with him. I can't really think of much of a negative except he's not that close to where I live or work. But the drive is worth it for me simply based upon peach of mind. read more

Quick, efficient service! My schedule is always hectic so i always have to do things on the whim when my schedule is free. So today i called them to see if they can fix a rear light that someone cracked -__- i had the part just needed it be replaced, i was helped by john. He was able to get me in and out and did it effortlessly and i was on my merry way. Finally i can wash my dirty car without worrying about water getting into my lights!!! read more

Been going here for years for oil changes and whenever anything is wrong with any of the cars. They are so helpful and honest. They let me know when a repair is necessary or not. I recommend all friends and family here! read more

John spent a lot of time educating me on the problem and solution. He was very patient and professional. Thank you so much . Amazing and efficient service ! read more

This is favorite auto repair shop. I've been here for my two cars routine maintenance. The owner is very honest, professional. His son-John is also very good mechanics. I definitely recommended this shop for everyone. read more

I have been coming here for years to get my oil changed. My family introduced me to this place and I have been hooked since. They are always super nice and efficient. There's a waiting room where you can relax and wait for your car and the place is super clean. If I ever had to choose a place to go I always come here. Their prices are also really low. I only pay $20 for my oil change instead of like $45 at a dealership. They get your car in and out pretty fast and all the mechanics are really nice. Don is really nice and welcoming too! read more

I've been coming here on a friend's recommendation ever since I moved out to Orange County. The prices are cheap, the service is great and they finish in a timely manner. Since I've been coming here I have always felt that they were honest. I'd recommend this place to anyone that's looking for an all around no hassle experience. read more

Took my company van here to get an oil change. There were so many places to choose from. Luckily I chose Dons. He quoted me 25 for a 6 quart vehicle. Damn was I surprised and happy. Other places would've charged 30-40 and luckily it wasn't a busy day (Friday 11am). Got my oil change and asked him if I needed an alignment for my car and he said no bc my car shouldn't get one... I was impressed. Honest fast and cheap read more

Called to ask if they do alignment and oil change to obtain a quote. I was asked to call back later because the person was in the middle of something. read more

Fast and friendly service. I am always in and out in no time at all. John and all the employees are friendly and honest and the prices can't be beat. Would highly recommend this place for all car service needs. read more

Ive been to Pepboys and a Mitsubishi dealership its sad to say the experience between the two cant compare to Don Auto Center knowledge of vehicles. Don auto is the only place that helped me get a deal with my oil changed, timing belt, water pump and serpentine belt. They also do the job correctly. Love this place definitely recommend this to every person that has car troubles. read more

I decided to get an oil change 2 weeks ago before I headed out for a long drive out to Las Vegas. It was a good thing I decide to go to Don Auto Center. Although I was in a rush, the mechanic did a very thorough check of my car and actually found out that my tires were very bare. The drive up to Vegas and back would have been very scary if the mechanic at Don Auto didn't catch that (it was very windy driving up and rained heavily on the way back). I would recommend this auto shop over many others! Fast, thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly! read more

This is my second time coming here for an oil change. They are so nice, professional, fast, and reliable.

Dons is in an auto repair strip mall off Westminster Blvd. this is the single building in the middle. I want to make sure b/c it is next to TAC which has poor reviews and this definitely is not TAC. On my way from work stopped in to ask about a smog check. Total cost $40 which is the going rate. I brought back my wife's car and in about 15 minutes done and on my way back home. Great service small but clean waiting lobby. I walked around the area and the guy was waiting for me I couldn't believe it. Fastest smog check ever. Always coming back here. read more

I have no luck at Don Auto Center. My simple oil change job went bad leaking, I have to come back few times to fix the leak. The mechanics who working there seem sloppy and inexperienced. I would not recommend this shop to anyone. read more

the workers here are thorough and prices are exceptionally reasonable and affordable. great exepreince all around!

Don Auto Center is my go to for car maintenance services. They've serviced my car for oil changes, tires rotation and break pads. They have amazing customer service and the best prices around. Call ahead to make an appointment and they'll make sure to take care of you promptly. My car always drives like butter afterwards without having to break the bread (bank)! read more
