    Excellent performance shop! Took my 2025 EV6 GT to get lowering springs & wheel spacers installed. I also had them do my alignment & wheel balance to bring everything back into spec. Everything turned out great! Fantastic pricing & very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

    I wanted to bring down my ride height with some Integrated Engineering lowering springs. The team at EMD gave me incredible pricing, and talked through expectations with wheel gap, possible use of a reverse rake kit etc. If you own an Audi and are within an hour of this shop it is worth the drive!

    ATTENTION DAZA/RS3 OWNERS. EMD Auto is where you want to have your car built or serviced at. I had catastrophic engine failure on Stage 2-E85. Even blew out my bevel box as well. EMD rebuilt everything and sourced another bevel box. I added more supporting mods for an upgraded turbo. I also installed their lowering springs with other suspension mods. They dialed my RS3 in and she's a perfect street car now. Thomas did all this work for me at the best price I could've had quality work done for. I absolutely recommended EMD Auto for your RS3.

    I currently live in SF / Bay area and made the drive down to visit my family and get some EMD parts installed on my B9 S5. The process couldn't have been easier, I made the appt with Thomas a couple months back, dropped off the car on a Saturday and they had it ready the same day! Very happy with their products and service. I had a lip kit installed as well as EMD springs, spacers and sway bar. I high recommend EMD for any of your audi servicing needs and their products have been great so far!

    The people that work here are AMAZING! Very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Drove an hour to get here and will continue to do so for any mods I need for my cars. Will definitely recommend to all my friends. Thank you Thomas and Tyler!

    I have been in the automotive business for 30 years. I can tell you that being in sales it is crucial to communicate with prospective clients before and more importantly after the sale as a long term client. All of my emails were answered within 15 minutes by the EMD team. I expect that from my sales personnel and that's one of the reasons why we are successful. Thomas and the crew took care of my son's Audi a few days ago and treated him with utmost respect along with excellent service and pricing. Having been on the fence to get my personal car tuned for over a year, I jumped at the opportunity to get it done by EMD Auto. The end result is nothing but smiles along with a future loyalty for EMD. Next step, lowering kit and possible ongoing maintenance as I always use a VW dealer every 5k miles. I also want to thank the young man that gave me a bunch of shirts. Shame on me for forgetting his name. My wife drives a new Q5, one son a MK7 GTI and the other in the Audi A4. I can ASSURE you that EMD will be seeing us in the near and distant future. Mahalo guys!

    See all

    Jesse is the reason my cat is alive…read more Last weekend, during the Garden Grove toxic chemical evacuation, my tuxedo cat decided that the undercarriage of my cousin's Tesla Model Y was a great hiding spot. It was not. He was wedged in there for 12 hours with no food, no water, and zero litter box access. He was absolutely losing it. I ran through every option. Fire department? Busy with the actual chemical explosion rattling all of OC, fair. Animal control? Ghosted me. My cousin, currently out of the country, tried Tesla Roadside Assistance through the app. Tesla's answer: their technicians are not trained to rescue animals. Noted, but deeply unhelpful in the moment. Two other mechanics passed too. Jesse was my third Yelp attempt and my last real option. He showed up within two hours, no fuss, and got straight to work. He tried everything - the frunk, underneath, removing the right wheel - methodically working different angles for an hour and a half because my cat had chosen the most inconvenient possible position to be chonky in. Jesse stayed patient the entire time and got him out safely. My cat is home. He is fine. He is completely unbothered, as cats are. Jesse showed up when nobody else could. That is not something I will forget. Oh, and his prices are insanely reasonable. If you need a mechanic who will actually show up and problem-solve, Jesse is your guy.

    I paid Jesse $120 toward motorcycle service, and apparently accepting payment was the only part of…read morethe job he was interested in completing. I had ordered a part and was waiting for it to arrive, so about a month passed. During that entire time, Jesse never contacted me to ask whether the part had arrived or to follow up on the work I had already paid him to do. I eventually had to reach out to him myself. Over the following three weeks, I sent multiple text messages and called several times, all of which were ignored. After getting nowhere, I called from a different number--and suddenly Jesse answered. His excuse was that he had been "busy." I asked him to send me my money back and he hung up and blocked my number. In total, nearly two months passed after he took my money with no communication, no follow-up, and no attempt to complete the service. Being busy may explain a delayed response. It does not explain ignoring a paying customer for over two months while continuing to keep their money. That is not poor time management; it is poor business practice. There was an $80 diagnostic fee, so technically I am only out $40. Financially, it is not a huge loss. Professionally, however, it says everything I need to know about this business. A reputable business does not take payment, fail to complete the agreed-upon service, ignore every attempt at communication, and then offer excuses only after being reached from a number it does not recognize. The motorcycle needed a diagnosis, but the bigger problem turned out to be the business itself: unreliable, unresponsive, and completely lacking in accountability. I would not trust Jesse with my motorcycle again, and I certainly would not recommend paying him anything upfront.

My request went through the Yelp Project page first and Jose was very fast with his response. He told me I could come in on a Friday morning as a walk in. Gino who took care of my intake was very friendly and made me feel welcome. They also had a comfy waiting area stocked with complimentary coffee and snacks, but I didn't need to wait long because I was out of there within an hour, oil changed and tires rotated. Their prices are fair and they accept both credit card and cash/Zelle (if you want to avoid the 3% credit card surcharge). During the oil change they also noted some things that will need repair, but weren't pushy with their recommendations. For that I am very appreciative, and will most definitely come back for their continued services.

After that repair, my check engine light suddenly came on--even though it wasn't on before. The first shop told me it was a problem with the mass air flow sensor and tried to charge me to fix it, which didn't feel right to me. So I decided to come here for a second opinion, and I'm really glad I did. The mechanic took the time to properly diagnose the issue and walked me through everything step by step. Within about an hour, he figured out that it wasn't the air flow sensor at all--it was just a blown fuse. That alone saved me a lot of money and potentially from being overcharged elsewhere. What really stood out was the honesty and communication. He explained clearly what went wrong, didn't try to upsell anything, and made sure I understood the situation. On top of that, he even aired up my tires for free, which was a nice touch. Fast, honest, and affordable service like this is hard to find. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this shop to others.

I had a concern that maybe the price was so good because they were using tires that were patched or something but nothing could be further from the truth!

They have earned a life time customer and my trust to send my friends and family in the future!
