    I can't recommend Fernando's enough! Family owned and they always are so wonderful and get my car service done within a reasonable time & make sure I'm fully safe to go. Fernando is honest and genuine which is hard to come by in the car industry! As a young woman this is always my first choice. Great prices as well.

    Front area with little table for you while you wait.

    Had my 95k oil change at Fernando's on Wednesday morning. When I arrived around 9:15am there was one other customer, and I was able to pull up and have the speedy service begin right away. Fernando and his associate were friendly and efficient as they drained my existing oil, checked coolant, water, and air filters. My car was given a clean bill of health and I spent just shy of $100 overall on the synthetic oil change for my 2012 Honda Fit. Inside the office there is a water cooler if you're thirsty, and an all-gender bathroom. There's also an outdoor sitting area with a shade umbrella and small table, so you have options for where to wait. By 9:45am things were getting busy--two other customers were waiting and another drove in and then left (hoping for immediate service, I guess.) One note: this smog station isn't STAR certified, so if California requires you to have a smog check at at STAR center, you'll need to go elsewhere. I'm pleased with the work and will certainly return for my 100k oil change and spark plugs, if I'm in town. Unfortunately there's no Yelp or UCSB discount, but times are tight and the price of the oil change was still good. Thanks, Fernando!

    They rebuilt my transmission, but forgot to seal it and after I took my car home, found a puddle of…read moreoil on my driveway! Took it back and they resealed it and returned it back to me, making me believe they had completely checked and finally finished their work. A year later, I had it checked somewhere else, and was so upset to find out, I had been driving my car with VERY little oil!!! The bastard never had refilled the oil in my transmission after they had failed to seal it properly!! Very incompetent shop! I'm surprised if they have any returning customers! Also, my steering wheel kept shaking after the transmission repair, and they kept telling me it was normal! I don't want to even give them one star! But I accidentally pressed it and can't undo it!

    Had a pesky right blinker that we kept getting criminally high quotes for. My husband says…read moresomewhere in LA told him "maybe around $1000"...??? We were dealing with an incident claim at the nearby Walmart auto center (they broke our windshield during an OIL CHANGE. DO NOT RECOMMEND) and randomly found Parra's on maps. Mr Parra himself was already with a customer but came over to us as soon as he was done with them. He very quickly assessed the issue, asked us to park closer, fixed it immediately (even though we ordered a misfiring part). And then didn't charge us a dime. He said it was a safety necessity for our kids on board. I will be coming back for all future work, he was clearly an expert and natural. I'm not sure if the negative reviews just met a completely different man? He does not care about juicing customers for money. He is fast paced and knowledgeable. Works well on the fly. Maybe you have to catch him on a Sunday? Maybe you have to have a good attitude? All I know is, he will be fair in pricing and know a lot about your car. I will be driving up from LA to see him every time I need.

    I have taken my vehicle to Allstar two times now for the last services it needed, and I am happy…read morethat I have. As many can likely relate, I have struggled to find good mechanics who are also honest and (sadly) respectful toward women. I used to take my car to the Toyota dealership, but not only did my local one disappoint many times, I also wanted to support small businesses, and finally through searching on Yelp, I found Allstar. Mike, the owner, and Julio, the person who last worked on my car, are great! Both times I have taken my car, I have gotten the services the car needed and not been oversold, which I really appreciate. My car is older, so of course, there have been recommendations on things to fix, but Mike and Julio have been honest about what required immediate attention and what can wait a bit longer. This has not been the case at other places. Since I have only been here twice, I don't have much more to add, but I'll update this as needed.

    IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR AND YOUR TIME DO NOT GO HERE !! I took my car in for a simple oil pan…read morereplacement and engine mounts. They failed to properly seal the oil pan twice and I had to take my car back 3 times! the second time they had used glue to seal the oil pan making a huge mess and voiding my warranty. Not only did it take them 3 attempts to finally reaper the oil pan they also over filled my engine oil by 2 and half quarts and the e fine mounts had to be replaced "again" cause it was quite obvious they never changed in the first place but charged me for it. Now my entire front suspension is compromised either due to them tampering or just the fact they had to drop my front suspension 3 times. Also their main tech isn't ASE certified and is just a "helper " AVOID THIS CHOP SHOP !!
