I brought my older car to Dr. Mechanic after the Mazda dealership quoted me $200 just to diagnose the issue. I'm so glad I decided to go with Dr. Mechanic instead! Not only did they diagnose the problem for free, but the actual repair cost me less than what the dealership wanted just to tell me what was wrong. The team was honest, straightforward, and did great work. It's so refreshing to find a mechanic who truly looks out for their customers instead of trying to upsell unnecessary services. I'll definitely be coming back here for any future repairs. Highly recommend! read more

I have been coming for many years. Honest, reasonable in pricing. They are very customer driven, helpful. I recommend Dr. Mechanic.

Local shop, straight to the point, showed them what services the dealer said my car needed and they accomplished everything before end of day for a fraction of what the dealership was asking. read more

Truly are the best mechanics in town. I have brought my Infiniti to them several times and they are honest, reliable, and good pricing. They never push for services I don't need and always honest with recommendations. Thank you Dr Mechanic and team for exemplary service. read more

My family and I have been taking our cars here for years. The customer service is the best around, and the quality of the repairs is unbeatable. The owners are also very helpful. I had an improper service on my car's air conditioner at another repair shop, and they destroyed my AC. Saed installed a new AC, and actually gave me the damaged one and showed me the problems caused by the prior mechanic. Based on his advice I was able to get a full refund from the prior mechanic and prove the damage was their doing. If you're looking for an honest mechanic who will provide quality service, this is the place. read more

I never had to worry that it wouldn't be done right. I highly recommend these guys. And they always charge a Fair and reasonable amount to do their work. john Williams read more

I'm posting for a friend, they tried to charge her $165 labor to put in two low beam bulbs in a chevy tahoe the passenger side is a little more difficult to get to BUT not a problem, especially for a mechanic, just pop the air filter box off Anyways, she got it done for $40 some where else read more

Fantastic customer service. We've been here several times and we are always taken care of. We are always told what is and isn't necessary to fix and we are always given a fair price. After my horrendous experience at Fairway Ford in Placentia is is nice to know that some people take pride in their work and know how to treat their customers. He even gave me insight into how to handle my situation with Fairway Ford. Thank you so much Dr. Mechanic read more

My catalytic converter was stolen. While waiting for my insurance company, I reached out to Dr. Mechanic to help understand what I was about to go through. I told him what happened, he explained a couple of outcomes. I think he could sense my complete confusion and said he would make a few calls and reach out to me in an hour. 15 minutes later he called me back with an entire breakdown of what the system consists of, what to expect in parts and labor for the make, model and year of my car and a pretty accurate timeframe of how long it should take. The whole crew was great. They suggested another company that could provide a cage for my new catalytic converter. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mechanic I'd suggest them to anyone. read more

Best and most honest mechanic around!! He even took the time to take me aside and show me my oil filter and where it was located and how hard it was to get out! read more

When it comes to cars I hate spending time to take care of them. I never look forward to waiting the amount of time I have to just to get my car fixed. I decided to try out a new place and went with Dr Mechanic. This was by far THE BEST mechanic I have ever went to. I am a pretty impatient person but my car was fixed very quickly and done with perfection. I am happy I went with a new place. If any of you are having car problems, I definiely recommend Dr Mechanic. read more

My ancient Toyota MR2's battery kept going completely dead even after I installed a new battery. Dr Mechanic found the problem, a shorted brake switch, and fixed it, replacing a burned out brake light as well. Excellent work on a difficult problem. read more

After many years of my mom taking her vehicles to Dr. Mechanic, and being very satisfied with their service, I took my Pontiac Torrent to them for the first time. They are located down the street and around the corner from me, which was partly my decision to take my crossover to them and not to the dealer, which I normally take it to when it requires something other than an oil change and tire rotation. A yellow engine light appeared on my dash, along with the ever, on again off again, service StabiliTrak®, warning, and a slight constant noise when the vehicle was in motion. I dropped her off at 11:30ish and by 4:45, the problem was diagnosed, I was called about what the error code meant, given a repair quote, part ordered, and repaired - and it was a very reasonable quote. I was concerned that the light would still be on and the noise would still be present. Najif told me if it was still a problem, to return it and he'd fix it. Impressive. A very big thank you for taking care of my GM vehicle in such a quick and timely manner. read more

When i reached out to this company to do a brake job for me, they quoted me the price, i thought it was too high. I was out of town and had my daughter drive it there for the quote. When i turned it down to seek other options that would hopefully be more affordable, one of the men got really upset and it turned into somewhat of a heated argument when he threatened to call the police to say the vehicle was not in good enough shape to drive anywhere. He demanded she didn't drive the vehicle and it must be towed or else the police would be involved and he wouldn't give my daughter back the keys. So I am out of the state, my daughter is now scared of this guy, and didn't want to be involved in this anymore, I had to call a towing company to come pick it up, my daughter had to drive with a stranger which wasn't comfortable for her, to bring back to the house. After I got home, I ended up driving the vehicle locally somewhere else to get the job done for hundreds less. read more

If you are looking for a good and honest auto repair mechanic you should visit Dr. Mechanic. I took my car into Dr. Mechanic because the starter in the car was making a strange noise and sounded like it was not going to start. Dr. Mechanic called me about an hour after I had dropped the car off and told me it was not the starter but my battery was the problem and that I should call AAA and have them replace the battery because it was still under warranty. AAA came and replaced my battery ( and solved the problem) at no cost to me. Dr. Mechanic could have told me that I needed a new battery and I would have never known the difference. I suggest you give Dr. Mechanic a try . read more

Came for a tire repair. Saeid got me in n out within 20 minutes and checked the rest of the maintenance of the car. Great service great guy! He'll be the guy I go to for any car issues. read more

As a woman, I have had many experiences in the past where mechanics tried to rip me off with pricing or unnecessary repairs. Having just moved here, I didn't have a reliable mechanic yet, so I've been shopping around for a trustworthy and reliable one. Despite having just been worked on my car, it hasn't been able to start every other time I tried to turn it on. It was frustrating because other shops I went to said it is going to be an expensive fix due to computer issues, but Jeff actually discovered that it was just a malfunction with the battery. He was very honest and transparent through the entire process. Despite offering the best service I've received, his work was still reasonably priced. He told me exactly what was wrong with my car and fixed it promptly with very positive results. I am very grateful and happy that I can comfortably drive my car now. Definitely coming back for my next oil change/check up! read more

Dr Mechanic - Auto Repair Near Me - Placentia, California

When I moved to Fullerton, I have to find a new mechanic, which is always worrisome for a woman. But I couldn't delay it any further when my brake started giving out strange sound. Thankfully, I lived within walking distance to Dr Mechanic. I brought it in to change my brake, oil change, and ask for a checkup. They were polite, didn't try to sell me additional service, good pricing, and called to keep me up to date with what they found (AKA just the brake needed to be change). Unfortunately, I had to moved suddenly again due to my job, but they were able to do another checkup before I have to drive all the way to San Francisco for my move. Again, another good experience. If I ever move back to Orange area, I would go back again. read more

Took my 2006 Chevy Silverado lifted truck with huge tires to Dr Mechanic for an estimate after my daughter took it to another mechanic who wanted $4000 to fix it & for the same exact service Dr Mechanic charged me $1600. He is very honest & uses parts made in USA :)) would highly recommend this place read more

I can't speak highly enough of this shop. They give you a fair price and are trustworthy. Iv been using them for about ten years now. I'm glad they're in my neighborhood. read more

Fast & great service. Extremely fair and reasonable prices, definitely going to come back for all my car needs.

Went here after my car stall when I was driving. The car had no engine light on. So I decided to take it here since it was only a block away to have my car checked. I was told to bring the car back until the engine light was on or it stall again. Decided to drive to my mechanic who checked my car and found the reason the car stall. If I had continued driving my car it would have made the problem worse. Can't say much about their work because they would not check my car. read more

I can not say enough good things about this place! My grandma needed to get her car fixed up and Jeff, the owner, did everything he possibly could to make things easy for us. He explained everything thoroughly and clearly and answered any questions we had. He got everything done in a timely manner, and kept us updated on the progress of the car. If you need work done on your car I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you go to Dr. Mechanic. He will get you taken care of. Thank you Jeff for helping us out and taking care of my Grandma. I really appreciate the attention to detail and excellent customer service. read more

They were amazing! Came in with the break pads needing to be replaced and they not only gave me a fair price (and discounted tire rotation) but also were able to help me same day understanding my time constraints. They went above and beyond and will definitely come again! read more

Dr mechanics has always been great to me. My whole family brings there cars here. Any time we have a problem they always fix it. I always recommend this place to my friends. They fix my truck in a timely manor and I have no complaints. This is the best mechanic shop I've been and I will keep coming for many more years. Thank you Dr mechanics read more

We moved to the area eight months ago and I was nervous about finding a new mechanic shop that I could trust. My car is 12 years old with nearly 140,000 miles, and during the last eight months my check-engine light has come on several times for different reasons. The owners of Dr. Mechanic have been very honest with me about what repairs my car did or did not need and their prices are reasonable. I am so relieved to have a car repair place that I can trust! read more

I have been using Dr Mechanic for over 20 years. The owner, Saaid, is incredibly bright. He has a masters degree in engineering. He is excellent at diagnosing and fixing problems. If it's something cheep or unneeded, he will tell you that. Very honest. When I go in their with a car problem I am confident he will be honest and I feel like I'm going to a family member....though we are surely not relatives. I just feel that confident! read more

Great service! They fixed my car same day when another mechanic said they would have to order parts and I would have to leave my car overnight and they did it for half the cost I was quoted by the other mechanic. Real honest service with great team work. I highly recommend them! read more

I have been taking my cars to this auto repair shop for over 10 years. I have always been satisfied with the results. This includes anything from routine maintenance to more complicated repairs. More importantly, I know that I will get an honest assessment of what the problem is and a fair price for the parts and labor from Dr. Mechanic. This is important for anyone who doesn't want to get overcharged which is unfortunately all too common in this industry. read more

Dr. Mechanic is awesome! They are very honest and will fix anything on your car for a very reasonable price. Excellent service and very friendly I have been coming here for over 10 years. Highly recommended. read more

WARNING IF YOU HAVE A PRIUS OR SOMETHING SIMILAR I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING Dr Mechanic! With our experience they obviously have no idea what they're doing, with this type of car! Even a shade tree mechanic with no pre testing equipment would start by replacing the least expensive parts first, not the other way around. And then argues with the customer when he returns the car with the original problem. Plus that the odometer had 98 more miles on it and they used half a tank of gas. Not a good place in my opinion! read more

I came here because my gear shift was jammed. I dropped off my car at about 8:30 in the morning and was told that there were people in front of me and that I could leave my car there and they would call me in the afternoon with an update. So come 4:30 I finally called them. Turns out I needed a special order of a part and I wouldn't have my car until Thursday (I commute to work so not cool). It took them all day to tell me this plus the fact that my bill would be coming to about $400 for all of this. I decided to take my car elsewhere for a second opinion and the part I was "missing" had just fallen under my seat. The second place I went, Fullerton Transmission, fixed it for free in about 15 minutes. This place is an unprofessional rip off. read more

I have been here three times over the past year. They are efficient and fairly priced. The first time I came here it was such a quick fix on my car that they did not charge me. I will definitely be back and most certainly spread the word to friends and family. read more

Amazing service! Fast and easy! Definitely recommended!!! Went in for an oil change (cheap $34) at 8.00 in the morning and it was done at 9.00 (Just 1 hour!!!). Overall...wonderful and brilliant little shop! Once again, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! You won't be disappointed! Cheers!! read more

My entire family brings their cars to this shop and we have been using them for over a decade. Fantastic people and excellent service. Pricing is fair. These are the guys you want to go to! read more

Blew a flat and pull right in. I stand there and the 2 mechanics act like Im not even there. One of them finally realizes I'm there. I ask if he could check my tire or repair it if possible he just blows me off says leave it ill look at 2PM and its 1130AM then changes his mind says go to Firestone down the street. Seriously. Zero stars if I could. I ended up calling AAA was towed to Allen Tire down the road. They had me back on the road in 30 mins. read more

Great place . Fast and easy ! Came in for an oil change just 35$ for a synthetic blend . Overall good and honest shop .

I put training wheels on my son's bike this morning and took him for a ride. As we went along the nut holding on the right training wheel loosened and my son kept falling over as the wheel gave way. This happened and my son fell as we were passing Dr. Mechanic. One of the mechanics saw us, a very pregnant mom and her young son in a pickle, came out, carried my son's bike inside, and fixed the wheel. It was a very kind thing of him to do. He didn't have to help us, but he took pity on us and made our morning a lot better. Thank you so much! read more

Wow! I like to say 10 star, i went to this shop last Friday at 5 pm as my car breaks went out on my I spoke with saied the owner and I explained to Him that I had a very important meeting at 6:30 pm that I had to attend. Again WOW , saied and his team of professionals took over had me back in road by 6:05pm . The PRICE was very reasonable service was EXCELLENT. I highly recommend this shop. Again I like to say thank you to saied and his team job well done. read more
