I switched to Expertec in 2024. Since then, there have been three major repairs: replacing a wheel bearing hub, replacing both catalytic converters and replacing front/rear machine break drums/rotors. The service has been prompt, courteous and professional, and the communication excellent. It's such a relief that these guys have my back. Most importantly, my 2006 Toyota Tacoma (157,000 miles) is still going strong. Thank you, Expertec! read more

Expertec Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Anaheim, California

It's my car's time of year again .. oil change! Parking: They have a small parking lot with limited parking spots. There were no spots when I arrived, so I just parked in front of the shop. Ambiance/Environment: The inside is small with a waiting area and a coffee station in the corner. The couch and chairs are comfortable and clean. There were consistent customers coming in n out for a weekday. Service: I called the shop before coming in to inquire about same day walk ups. Manny answered the phone, and he mentioned they were able to accommodate walk ups. When I arrived, he was also the same person that checked me in. He was nice and efficient. Majority of their workers speak Spanish and English. They offer complimentary shuttle services. Though, I couldn't take advantage of this service bc their driver was on lunch. My car needed a full synthetic oil change. If you have a coupon, make sure to present it at check-in. The coupon I had was for an oil change starting at $39.90. It cost $79 after taxes for my oil change; which is about average price nowadays. Since I couldn't use their complimentary shuttle services, I decided to wait there. It took about an hour for them to finish. They take cash or card as a method of payment. Thankfully there's no extra fee for using card. read more

See all

Near our house so I booked an appointment. Fees are competitive. Done in less than an hour.

Quick and professional work for an oil change. I was greeted upon entering and given a 40 minute estimate for services. It took much quicker than that, being around half an hour. Overall a great experience for the good price that it is. read more

I have been going to this shop for about a year now, and each time I've been there I've never had an issue. I've have gotten to know the shop manager there Matt, and I've personally watched him run his office and see how cares for the customers that come in. All the issues that I had with my 2012 Nissan Altima have been addressed and still have more work to be done. I will definitely be bringing my car back here as I don't trust many mechanics to begin with. I've read some of the negative reviews and all I can say is not everyone can be pleased, we all have different opinions and personalities and sometimes things just don't work out. I've never had that experience there and Matt has always been straight up honest and forward about the work he's done and has made sure I understand the process. I'll definitely be a customer for life. read more

Excellent, good communication and honest. Got my small RV van a lot of ongoing service, with a courtesy drive home.

As a woman of a certain age (old) I've had issues with being taken advantage of or treated like I didn't know anything about cars, Expertec is NOT that kind of experience. From the moment you arrive you're treated friendly and welcoming. The staff is professional, the shop is spotless and the work I needed was actually less I had anticipated . There was a light that came on on my dash, I thought it was going to be something major. Turns out it was simply a small fuel sensor that needed replacing. They could have told me I needed work done I didn't need but they didn't, they were honest, fair with the price and I respect and appreciate that. Matthew is a great guy. He has a great work ethic and tells a mean dad joke!!! Expertec will be the only place I take my cars from now on. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. I initially brought my Subaru here after my battery died and I needed a jump-start. I asked the shop to diagnose why the battery had died and why the car was having trouble starting. I was told that the alternator was not producing enough voltage and needed to be replaced. I take responsibility for not getting a second opinion and trusting their recommendation. That decision cost me approximately $800. Unfortunately, about a week later, the same issue that originally brought me into the shop returned. My car began sputtering again. I was then told that the battery was leaking and had corrosion, and they recommended replacing both the battery and the starter. Because the battery was still under warranty, I had it replaced. However, I refused to authorize the starter replacement until I could get another opinion. I then took the vehicle to another mechanic who was recommended by someone I trust. After testing the Subaru, he told me there was no resistance showing in the starter, despite this shop previously telling me there was. He also believed the battery drainage was most likely connected to the vehicle's telematics system and told me the alternator did not appear to have been the original cause of the problem. I understand that vehicle diagnostics are not always simple, but after spending $800 and having the exact same problem return almost immediately, I completely lost confidence in this shop's diagnosis and recommendations. My advice is simple: when a repair is expensive, the diagnosis is uncertain, or the problem is specific to your make and model, please get a second opinion before approving the work. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this business for complicated repairs. I might consider them for something basic like an oil change, but nothing beyond that. Thankfully, I have now found a mechanic I trust. If anyone is looking for a good mechanic, feel free to reach out. read more

I've been coming here for like 6 months and another shop I had been going to has been trying to get me to pay more and I came here and they had to do a whole custom Fab to fix some things because their junkyard Place sucked and they did a real good job and I really appreciate it. Their prices are great too and their customer service is on point and they let me drop off early and pick up late. Especially Matt and Manny and Jimmy thank you guys. read more

Expertec Automotive - Inside the auto shop. - Auto Repair Near Me - Anaheim, California

After spending 3,500 and also getting a light bulb replaced. I deeply regret ever doing business here. I found its much cheaper and safer for me to take my Acura to a dealership. I will never do business with this organization. The Orange County Acura dealership was nearly 60% cheaper than the rear brake job you quoted me. I left questioning their honesty and their integrity. Overpriced and overpaid for your mechanic services. I Should have done more research. For the gentlemen who touched and worked on my car in all aspects: -We become the Karma we create. -It's never too late to become a good person. read more

Terrible communication to the customer. Walked in for a basic oil change. Didnt expect to wait close to 3 hours on a Wednesday late morning. I'm sure their product and services are great. Unfortunately, they missed this time. Wont be coming back. Not about the money but lack of communication to the customer waiting in the lobby for 3 hours. Update: thanks for response. Good luck to you guys! read more

I was recommended this place for services, unfortunately I don't think I'll be coming back for anything other than a diagnostic (if even that). I was a walk in on a late Saturday morning (11ish/12) and fully expected to wait a few hours to have my car checked out (for a diagnostic only, not a service). Manny checked me in and was friendly enough. He asked if it would be alright to leave my car there a few hours and I 100% understood as I didn't have an appointment and there were already cars lined up. He let me know they'd call once having an update and even confirmed my phone number. Fast forward to 4:10pm, I haven't received an update, so I call to inquire about a timeline for when I should be ready to pick up my car....they tell me the shop CLOSED at 4pm and they didn't have a chance to look at it so they were going to keep it until Monday morning. Mind you, they're CLOSED on Sundays. I'm absolutely thrown off at the fact that 1. I never received an update or a follow up as to the status of my car (if they let me know they hadn't had a chance to look at it and would be closing soon, I would have just picked it up and brought it back Monday, as I was planning to use it on Sunday) and 2. They decided, on my behalf, without consulting me, to just keep my car for the weekend. Would they have followed up with me if I never called to ask?! What kind of business just decides their client wont have a need for their car?! They offered to leave my car outside the shop for me to pick it up, but they would leave my key under the mat (UNLOCKED) and wouldn't wait for me to show up as they had already finished their work for the day. I just decided to leave it with them for the weekend and share my concerns Monday. I'm attended by Manny again on Monday and although I tried to express how the miscommunication significantly impacted my experience, it was just brushed off as "I'm sorry for the inconvenience" and that they were "short staffed" and weren't able to find the source of their problem at the time so they decided to keep it longer. At no point was the fact that they decided to keep my car without consulting me, and clearly had no plans to, ever addressed or even acknowledged. I just payed for the diagnostic and had the service completed at another shop that was way more attentive and had the service done in two hours. I'm sure their service could've been great but the trust was completely broken due to their lack of communication and lack of awareness to acknowledge how unprofessional their decision to keep my car was. read more

I have both my Toyota Prius and Honda CRV fixed by Expertech when needed like simple oil change for more than 3yrs now , this shop is super reliable and easy to deal with ..Tnx Expertech , keep up the good work read more

Now, how in the world would I know that a transmission is not getting up to temperature... The temperature gauge on the dash which would stay at zero is engine temperature not transmission temperature... That's the one I see and that's the one I could communicate as not getting a reading, especially since the radiator fan was on all the time...not sure how that was not obvious to anyone. read more

I was a walk-in today and referred by other clients for replacement of my headlights which I had already purchased the replacement bulbs. I didn't expect to get service right away and knew I probably had a wait but I was taken care of and appreciated the speedy process. Thank you again for the excellent customer service. I also wanted to mention that the attention to cleanliness of this establishment was noticeable. read more

Customer service here is excellent. The guys here really take care of your vehicle very well and prices are reasonable.

Manny and staff are always friendly, helpful and professional. We have been here 4 times for oil changes and will continue to ce back! They also conduct a multiple point check on your vehicle with your oil change. Fantastic value! read more

I will continue to always get my car serviced here! I was recently going to Moyo's Tire but have decided to switch over to this new shop. They are honest, reliable, and just great in general. They openly communicate with you and you can't beat the prices. Will continue to be a loyal member! read more

Thank you so much Marisol and Bryan! Fixed my AC and now it's working even better than before! I highly recommend and very affordable!

I've been going to these guys for a few years now and I'm so glad to have found a trustworthy place for my troublesome car early on! Matt and Manny are so helpful at explaining all of the issues and concerns that need work on. I always try to go to them for any issues if I can help it. read more

Absolute rip-off. Took my car here for a check engine light diagnostic ($165), and they handed me a predatory estimate for nearly $4,900. They tried to act like the car needed thousands of dollars in massive repairs for what is essentially basic maintenance and a few minor issues. They completely marked up absolutely everything on the list--charging double the retail price for parts like the oil separator and secondary air pump just to pad the bill. I literally took the car to an actual Audi dealership right after, and the dealership quoted me WAY less for the exact same work. When a certified luxury dealership is significantly cheaper than an independent shop, you know this place is actively trying to scam you. Total price gouging. Avoid this shop at all costs. read more

I wanted to thank the everyone at Expertec for always doing a great job on my vehicles. I had a rear main seal replaced and the job they did was amazing! The 13+ hour job was quick, half the price the dealership was charging, and most importantly my car runs great and no more leaks! Definitely recommend this place! Been going to the one in Anaheim ever since they opened! No longer have to travel to Costa Mesa and still get excellent service! Thank you Expertec! read more

I came in for an overdue oil change. I was having trouble with my schedule so I ended up speaking with Gerald and Matthew, who were both excellent communicators and eager to make it work. I have to say it was the first time I've been treated with such kindness and understanding at any sort of automotive repair shop. The place is clean and very accommodating. Even the couches and comfy chairs are spotless. I appreciated that they advised me of some upcoming things I'll need to have taken care of, but didn't try to scare or manipulate me into thinking the issues were urgent. It's nice to know I can recommend EXPERTEC to others, as well as having a place I can return to with confidence, knowing I won't be talked to like an auto-ignorant girl. Thanks you Guys! . read more

Expertec Automotive - Charlie on the lift. He feels much better now that he's had a few quarts of oil. - Auto Repair Near Me - Anaheim, California

The team that helped me and girlfriend out this holiday season were fantastic! Big shout out to Manny, Matt, and Gabriel for their help and great service! Thank you so much! read more

Taking your car in for service is never fun but these guys made it fast and easy and they provided a clean and professional setting. Diagnostic was clear and their work expected costs was straight forward. Hooked me up with a discount and got me back rolling on the street within 4 hours while I was at work. Much appreciated! Good stop shop read more

The engine on my 2015 Hyundai Sonata went south @140k miles. I researched Yelp, and Expertec had the best review. They provided the best engine service at what I consider a reasonable price. Special shout out to Manny, Matthew & Oscar ..... You guys are great read more

Just got a text it is time for service but I want to say that in the past Matt recommended my brake fluid be replaced for my car is a 1999. I never heard of that but it made sense due to age of the vehicle. My brakes now work much better than before. I was amazed at the difference. They are very knowledgeable there. read more

I found this place near home, was dealing with loose plastic that came apart and was dragging for days underneath my car. I stopped at the shop and the gentlemen at the front desk attended me right away. I was not charged at all for having the piece of plastic removed. Such a welcoming experience thank you for such great service! Definitely will be coming back for any inconveniences. read more

Been here a few times already and always have a great experience. They are all so friendly, professional, and really take the time and care to complete the services. They were even able to fix something with my car that most other mechanics weren't able to solve for me - so grateful they persevered and didn't give up! Also a big plus for me is that they are open on Saturdays and scheduling was so easy. Highly recommend this place! read more

Very happy with the service I received from Expertec in Anaheim. Matthew was very friendly and helpful, and it was great that they offer shuttle service to customers. The worker who gave me a ride was very polite and friendly as well. They even went above and beyond for my oil change and helped address an additional issue that I had brought up at the time of my service. Overall, excellent customer service and I will be returning for my next oil change for my BMW X1. read more

Matt, Manny and crew are just the best. The shop is clean and well organized, communication is excellent, and the mechanics really know their stuff. I brought an older foreign car in that was very difficult to get through a smog test, and they figured out the issues. It passed with flying colors! Highly recommended! read more

Walked in this afternoon for an alignment service. The quoted price was reasonable and fair. I was most pleased with clean and pleasant environment in the sitting area. The work was done quickly within 45 mins as promised. Thank you for a pleasant experience! read more

I have several aging cars. Expertec keeps them running smoothly. They're always meeting, or usually, exceeding timing for a service job. I'll never use another auto tech again. read more

I've been here 3 times so far and brought 2 different cars and my experience so far has been nothing short of fantastic! They provide all the typical amenities that you expect from a top tier repair shop. Quality and friendly service, a ride to where you need to go if you're nearby, a loaner car, 3 year / 36k mile warranty, they stand behind their work, affordable prices, clean waiting area, you name it they most likely got it. Some personal experiences that have really stood out for me. On one of my cars I asked about tires and wanted to get tires that would give me a quiet ride. I basically handed them an opportunity to sell me more expensive tires and Matt still steered me towards a less expensive tire but still comparable in performance, letting me know the price difference isn't worth the difference in performance. And so far, I've been really happy with that. They could have easily up-sold me a set of tires double the price, but didn't, helping me save money. In another occasion, I've brought another car to get the brakes done, they still weren't as I expected, they took the car back, replaced the brakes since they were under warranty and found the issue and everything is as good as I remembered them to be. Overall, this is that local repair shop that has really stands out, cannot recommend this place enough. read more

The experience we had at this shop was above the top. Matt and his staff are outstanding and professional. Thank you for the quality and attention to detail read more

Happy found a place that would work on Nisson SUVs! Other places told us no. Didn't want to go to dealership. Had our engine light fixed with replacing a failed part. Had oil change at a very reasonable price. Waiting room pleasant and communication good with estimate and follow up service. Plus they shuttled us home while we waited and brought us back. Very convenient! Definitely will be back. read more

Second visit as stellar as the first. Called Matt to make sure they had the battery for our vehicle, they did. When we arrived Matt was waiting for us and drove our vehicle directly into a bay to replace the battery. Quick, professional and service with a smile! Can't recommend Expertec Automotive in Anaheim enough!!! Also, dig the new landscaping! read more

Came here bc I had issues with my tire/car was shaking. I made an appointment and when I got there the two gentleman in the front were very kind and explained the process to me. They seem very reliable and trustworthy, didn't make me feel like I was being price gouged or pressured to do anything. I would recommend their services! read more

Expertec is truly the best in the business. Customer service is incredible, prices are extremely fair, & they have been able to fix my 2008 Jeep after 10+ years & three other mechanics couldn't. Matt is a wonderfully genuine person & owner. I will never take my cars anywhere else. Thanks Matt & the Expertec team!! read more

So it turns out that honest mechanics do exist! Well, at least one... Matthew at Expertec was very clear and up front with all the possibilities that could cause the issue my car was having, and made educated and reasonable suggestions on how to economically and efficiently remedy the problem. He took the time to really dig into his resources to make sure he was approaching my car's problem from the best angle. In the end, my car was repaired at a small fraction of the quote given to me by another mechanic, and it was done in half the time! The shop is clean, everyone was super friendly, and they clearly know what they're doing! read more
