Great service again. Was worried about a myriad of issues but found it was a simple repair. Honest and straightforward with the respect deserved. Work done diligently and everyone inside and outside were awesome. Our Toyota and dodge are running great Thanks to you all. See you guys again soon. read more

Not all cars can be fixed and I stand by that...sadly no cars can be fixed at Halsey's. My "Frankenstein" Samurai was a nut that couldn't be cracked and I understand and I appreciated their honesty...but the next car was a bone stock Toyota FJ with a check engine light..once again, they didn't fix it...then the big problem..my '56 Chrysler...$11,000 to fix leaks that still leak, fix a transmission they torched and replaced that still doesn't shift into gear and for some reason they messed with the carburetor and now it idles at 40mph...$11,000 and I still have leaks, no heat, won't start, won't shift and when I actually do get it running, it's a runaway train...my wonderful dream car is a POS sitting in the garage...I wasn't going to put Halsey's on blast last year when I told Alan he needed to stop spamming me about "bringing my Chrysler back in for service!"...but they hit me up again..so here we are..they can't fix modified cars, they can't fix stock cars (a Toyota..really?) and they certainly can't fix classics. They did fix my brakes with the NOS parts I brought them but otherwise, my car is in worse shape now than it was before they touched it read more

Had a great experience with Halsey's after they fixed an issue where I noticed a constant knocking sound a minute after engine start up. They quickly diagnosed the issue and had it rectified. Communication was also excellent. read more

Halsey's Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Canyon Cntry, California

Finally an honest and good mechanic...! Here is my experience at Halsey's: I had taken in our Sonata to the dealer for notification of recall (one of many this car has had). While there I had some of the scheduled maintenance items taken care of but the dealer said I had an oil leak in part of my engine and quoted me over $1,000 to fix it. I have learned not to just say yes to major repairs so I took it to another business I use but they don't do major work and referred me to Halsey's. When I called in I spoke to Sam and dealt with him the whole time until the work was done. Sam had told me on the phone that where the dealer had said was the cause of the leak was pretty unusual and for me to bring in the car. I brought it in and got the 10% check-in offer from them and Sam gave me a call back later in the day. He said that the where the dealer had said the leak was coming from he could see how they got it wrong, but it was actually two other seals that needed to be replaced. They knew this because they take the time to clean around the leaks and test it, but where the dealer said was leaking wasn't. The $1,000 quote from the dealer for the repair that I could have had done that would NOT have fixed the problem, Halsey's corrected. So with the two other places that had the leaks in the seals, the cost was $455 after the discount. They even took care of a small item gratis for me on the car. We were EXTREMELY happy with the work done at Halsey's and the customer service and work done there is top notch...I am highly recommending them and if I have a problem with my car again will be back. Thanks, Sam and all your staff for the excellent job you do there....! read more

Stopped by at lunch after noticing a strange tapping, rolling metal sound coming from my car repeatedly. The receptionist was very nice and asked me to come back 4:30 same day when her manager was there. A large plate had come loose under my car and they were able to quickly fix it free of charge. I offered a tip and they refused to take it. Super friendly and helpful on a moments notice - really appreciated their kindness and help! read more

Great service. Allen was most helpful. Kept us posted. A little hard to park but they will help you.

It is hard to find good reliable mechanic in SCV, my family and three vehicles have given Halsey Auto a try and have been yet again been disappointed. Don't bother trying to drive in as they won't be able to take your vehicle because they are over booked. You will have to make an appointment and hope whatever your issue is isn't urgent. I dropped of my work truck for a basic oil change at my appointment time of 0813 on a Monday. They close at 1630 and after not receiving a call stopped in just before 1600. My truck wasn't finished and they used an excuse of one vehicle of their 5 or so bays delaying my service. Unable to stay another 30 minutes I had to come back late that evening after dropping off our kids to pick up my work truck with the keys hidden in the gas cap. So $147 by appointment oil change that takes all day.... not what I would call good, reliable or reasonably priced considering the service. Guess the search continues to find a Mechanic to bring our vehicles to. read more

I took my wife's car in for a standard 5,000 mile service and Terry was helpful, personable, and professional. Him and his crew completed the service with flawless and respectful care and he even found some other things that needed attention. When he presented those things he never pressured me to do anything but merely informed me about what the car likely needs. Thanks again, guys. read more

Took my truck to get repaired as the fuel pump had an ongoing issue since 2020. John fixed the truck and fuel lines that the previous owners of halseys did not . However , the customer service was terrible . The truck was in the shop for over 3 weeks and we rarely got a call with an update or status . It was not a free repair . We were Promised call backs and we would have to call a week later after receiving no calls to check on status . Never knew the parts were back ordered until we nagged and called again . They never apologized for the lack of follow through and didn't even acknowledge us when we were there to pick up the truck . Never met John who fixed the truck and only dealt with Alan who needs customer service people training skills . A call , status update or acknowledgement goes a long way . Sadly I won't bring my business there anymore as I felt like the bad guy and not like the well treated consumer. This day and age and so much competition out there how the customer is treated really makes a difference. read more

Alan and John were awesome. They were very upfront and honest about the issues on our Chrysler Pacifica. I will be bringing all my vehicles here in the future when they need anything. Thanks guys. read more

I am selling my 2017 Ram Promaster City mini van. I bought in 2 years ago with only 20,000 miles. I put 10,000 miles on it and never had any issues but wanted to have a thorough inspection before I sold it. When I called Halsey's, Derek (Service Manager) was great and offered to service it and do a complete inspection. A few hours later the job was complete and I was told that my van is in excellent condition. As a matter of fact one of the technicians was considering buying it. Just wanted to say that Halsey's is professional and attentive to details. I appreciate their honesty and will return when my other vehicles need service. read more

Halsey's Auto Service - 2017 Ram Promaster City - Auto Repair Near Me - Canyon Cntry, California

Good, reliable, and trustworthy! I first went to Halsey's after realizing how shady my last shop was... To say the least I was nervous to go somewhere new. Halsey's has been so good and while no one is ever happy to spend hundreds of dollars on their car problems, John makes it suck a littllleee bit less. They've been there to help and John has gone out of his way to show so much kindness. Thanks Halsey's and John!! read more

This is my second time here. First time was under different ownership. Since it reopened, I gave it a chance knowing it wasn't the same people in charge. My 2006 Chevy Colorado has been wonky for sometime though it's a great little truck. Couldn't use the A.C. Other issues also. Alan and team took it in, fixed it and actually took care of me from day 1. It was costly but there were a lot of issues with it and the price it cost was what I expected to pay so nothing was out of whack. I know cars enough to know what things cost. They also gave me an honest "not worth fixing" on another car that I have that needs a head gasket. Second place that said that. They could've said "sure" and it would have cost way too much (which I would've passed on anyway) but they were honest. read more

Professionalism, quality of service and value. Rich is super to work with; and listens to his customers to zero in on the potential problem.

I would give negative stars if I could. Be careful they are CROOKS and STEAL MONEY from customers !!!! We paid for services and car engine part replacements recommended to get the car working . Because it's a classic car and the engine is customized we had to leave it in the shop for some time. After paying ahead of time to get the services done, they never did anything to the car when I checked back. They refused to give the money back or finish the services I paid for . The owner of the company blamed the unfinished work on a manager that doesn't work there anymore . We paid for services they didn't even do nor would the owner give our money back. The owner stated we had to pay money again to get the services done and for the car engine parts we already paid for prior. I hope no one goes through what we had to go through cause we did lose a lot of money and paid for services and car engine parts we never got. read more

I had my van in for service several times and the service is spectacular. Brian is the service person that I go to. If your looking for an auto shop to use. Use this one. You won't be disappointed. read more

Just got off the phone with the service representative to verify a quote for myself that I was told by my kids father. Man on the phone was EXTREMELY rude as if I was interrupting his day, had nothing but negative comments about SCV auto and was completely unprofessional. Not gonna bother with it this asshole, probably crooks. read more

Great place, clean shop and nice people! Very helpful when it comes to not knowing much about cars they were pleasant to deal with and seem very knowledgeable! They fixed our cars right with no issues, got us through smog with now further problems. They let me know of a few things I would need coming up and were very straight forward about what needed to be done and the timeline. There is a reason they have been around for many many years. read more

I have come to know Halsey's auto. I like the look of a clean shop and work benches ! Im an old achool retired person with lots of fluids and filters. Eric has been doing my oil and tranmission fluid service for about 8 months . He always let's me know whats going on and anything leaking or needs attention. Thanks Hasley's for working with me . read more

Brian was very professional and had our car diagnosed within a few hours. He answered a lot of questions and put my mind at ease by explaining what needed to be repaired. The prices are very reasonable and car was done when promised. Excellent customer care! read more

What can I say, well I've been here a couple times and the customer service has been fantastic and straight forward. They have worked with me throughout process and recommended the best fix. John is amazing at what he does and is knowledgeable as well as friendly and not hesitant to answer any questions. The work environment is super clean and they offer drinks and a nice comfortable lounge area when waiting on the car. Awesome service thanks John! read more

Halsey's Auto Service - John, working on the 2015 Fiat Abarth 500 - Auto Repair Near Me - Canyon Cntry, California

Left my car after hours with them after a breakdown on nearby Rowher Flats. They were able to get me back on the road and able to drive my vehicle back home in no time. Terry was very nice and so were all of his staff. Would definitely get my car serviced here if I lived closer! read more

Terry was so wonderful in the way he treated me! He quoted a price and stuck with it . I will now be a regular client for all my cars . If I could give a thousand stars I would! read more

Really like this auto repair shop. Honest upfront estimates and they'll explain it until you understand. Sam Borilli is the best, he's been my go to mechanic for years and never disappoints. read more

Got turned onto this place a great friend. Meet with John came up with a plan. Kept me in the loop the whole time took great care of my F350. That a prior shop screwed up. John txt me giving me updates and things he thought needed my attention. Thanks to Halsey's and to John. You have all my business and will refer everyone I know! read more

Thank you Halsey's for going out of your way to make sure my brakes were o.k.! I feel very comfortable and know my car is in good hands here. I think the owner and office employees are friendly, and said previously, "down to earth". They stand by their work and although reading a review that speaks of cost and cheaper mechanics out there, excluding dealerships, I have come to learn over time myself (this is just my opinion) that a lot of places do not offer more than a one year warranty and that can be difficult and cost you more in the long run! I recommend Halsey's without hesitation. read more

Was quoted $1800 to fix my A/C vent actuator and fill with Freon!!! Went to SCV auto air and they did everything for $469. This is the second time I had a vehicle quoted over 3x the amount it took to fix. To top it they made me pay them $180 for a diagnosti!! DO NOT GO TO HALSEY'S read more

This place was great! A good friend recommended them, (i needed an alignment). I got there early, John took me right in. The price was what I was quoted, and I had a comfortable place to wait while they worked on my car. They were very professional, and had coffee, sodas and water available for those who needed to wait. The bathroom was even clean! 5 stars! read more

This is my favorite mechanic because they are honest and they only do the repairs you need. Halsey's prices are affordable and they honor AAA/Yelp discounts. The waiting room is nice with free espresso/soda drinks, TV to watch while you use their phone charging station on their big comfy couches. They have toys for kids and they are dog friendly! Great customer service. read more

Wow! Halsey's did it again! This is the most trustworthy outfit I know for car repair. I brought my car in for service like I always do, and Terry called to let me know my front struts were leaking. When I told Terry to go ahead and repair the car he told me they might be covered under my factory warranty. Terry contacted the Dealership, and the struts were covered under warranty! Terry handled the minor service I came in to do and sent me to my Dealer for the warranty covered repair. He saved me HUNDREDS of dollars with his knowledge and honesty. Thank you Terry and Brian for always being there for me. My family's cars won't be serviced by any other place. What other repair shop would be as loyal to me as I am to it? Thank you, AGAIN, Halsey's Crew! read more

I gave them 2 stars only because they were able to see me on a Saturday at the last minute and Sam was very courteous. That's it for the good part of the review. I took in my car for overheating only after I was recommended by the person at G&M auto, seems to be the owner of Halsey's now. Anyway, I asked them specifically for a quote on replacing two radiator hoses and a thermostat on a Kia Sedona 2002. The person at G&M said we should do an inspection because it could be your fans are not started up, makes sense so I ok'd the inspection which costs $70. Well, I dropped it off, they did the inspection and Sam calls me with a quote over $530 for two hoses and a thermostat replacement! When I expressed my sticker shock he realized that he did not take off the inspection cost. I said it was still too high so I denied the service and paid for the inspection only. I drove the car home and of course it was still overheating but I lived close by. The next day, Sunday, I opened the hood to put coolant in the radiator and to my further shock, the radiator cap was missing. I left them a message on Sunday, expected them to be closed, but never received a call back on Monday so I called around 9am, I assumed they opened earlier. I told Sam about the missing radiator cap, and he said he would ask the mechanic. Of course, they couldn't find it. I said to ask the mechanic to keep looking, I don't have the radiator cap. So they did, and they had some other lady call me to tell me they can't find it. So I'm out $10 for the cap and $70 for an inspection and my car is still not fixed. Not good. I will update this review when I do get my car fixed and the actual price I paid and the mechanic shop I sent it to, to compare costs. read more

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP & MANAGEMENT Purchased 3 lifetime oil change contracts in 2008 for over 200.00 each. 2 of my cars only had 3 oil changes each using those contracts. Now since there is a new owner, they do not want to honor the contracts and will only offer a 36.99 credit towards their $76 oil change. I can get oil changes from the dealerships for half that price. I met the new owner the first day that they reopened and spoke with him about the contracts I also spoke with the manager in regards to the contracts and they made an agreement with me that they would honor the contract on one of my cars as long as I had my other service's done with them. Now they do not even want to honor that agreement. To Johns reply. I have haven't had any of the recomended services dservices done as of yet because the car had under 50k miles on it. I drove to NEW York in June and now back. That was why I was calling about a service and was told that my contracted is no longer honored and I had to talk to the manager about this spoke to him on the phone now when I go to speak with John he's not available but he was able to respond to this Yelp almost immediately read more

I had regular maintenance for my 10 year old SUV and they did a fast and superb job.

Great service and communication. I was able to take my car in for repairs and get it back the same day. They have legitimate suggestions on repairs needed but there's never any pressure unlike other repair shops. read more

***UPDATE*** Owner just called me back upset that I left my review. I tried to explain that I didn't leave the review because he said no, but because he hung up on me after saying no. He said he did t want to hear it and called me a f***er and and an a**hole. I know that this isn't everyone's experience and if you have a car problem that he is willing or able to do, he might give better service than what he gave to me. However, this was my experience with this company. Halsey's Auto Service. AVOID THIS BUISNESS! I saw good reviews on Yelp and Google so I decided to call. I have never done business with this mechanic, and after the phone call to them today I NEVER will. I called to find out how much it would be to get the A/C compressor changed and my A/C system recharged on my 98 Honda Accord. Mr. Halsey answered the phone and after giving him the details on what I needed, he said he would give me a call back with the pricing. After waiting about 5 minutes he calls back, and tells me he doesn't want to do the repair and hangs up. Mr. Halsey was very unprofessional, unprofessional, and borderline rude. read more

I think jhon is the best mechanic in canyon country i'll tell you this, no one works as hard as this man and his staff!!!!! I will never take my car anywhere else I don't care if I buy a airplane he'll still be the number one mechanic in Southern California. read more

Halsey's Auto Service - My baby - Auto Repair Near Me - Canyon Cntry, California

My husband and I (and our dog) were headed back to home (Las Vegas) after a visiting family in California. As we are driving we notice our AC flow is slowing down and it starts getting warm. It's around 3pm and very hot outside so I quickly Google AC auto repair near me. I see Halsey's is 6 minutes out from our location so we head there. We pulled in and Brian checked our AC. He thinks it's the carbon filter. The technician takes the filter out and shows it to us. It was filthy. Brian made a phone call and the replacement came in about 30 minutes. The price was reasonable and the service was great. Brian was kind and the work was quick. We were back on the road with a comfortable AC once again. Things could have been quite miserable. read more

Halsey's Auto Service were very knowledgeable, efficient and communicated everything that was being done to my car! Will definitely be back!

Don and John, Thank you for making it right for my son! He paid for a 4 wheel brake job to the previous owners in 2016. The rear brakes were never touched! Shame on you, old man Halsey and Beto! you put my son's life at risk. Don and John made the previous owner sin right! read more

I left my 2004 f350 6.0 turbo diesel with them and within one or two days they had a diagnoses so they're pretty quick. Called me and explained the problems. They said my turbo needed replacing. Mice nest on air box side clogged it. They said they saw metal shavings. Quoted $3100 to replace the turbo and air box assembly. $140 for the diagnoses (goes towards final bill if you do the work there). The price was too high for me, so I towed truck home and did it myself. Removed turbo in 1 hour. Cleaned and put it back about an hour and a half more. (Thank you youtube). No metal shavings seen at all. My truck is running great. Turns out it was just clogged from the mice nest on air box side. I went through everything to make sure it was clean. I don't know what to think. For one they said they saw shavings. There was clearly none. But at the same time I don't blame them for wanting to just replace a turbo since its a risk and time consuming to open it up and clean and put back with the chance of it not working. Maybe this is standard practice to replace parts instead of rebuilding. In conclusion, I would go there for a diagnostic again for sure. Very polite, and very quick. For repairs, I'm not sure honestly. I have no doubt they would of done a good job though. read more
