S & M Auto Center - So happy to have my van fixed on our vacation!  Thanks Shady!

S & M Auto Center

(237 reviews)

Shady and his team are wonderful to work with. The first time I took my car to S&M I ran into two…read morewomen in the waiting area that had glowing reviews for the shop. Shady was very professional and straight forward with me about what was absolutely necessary to fix and what could wait. Just this week I took my car to Firestone to get the tires rotated. I was told by Firestone my rear brakes and rotors needed to be replaced at the tune of $700. I was skeptical and called S&M for a quote. They gave me a rough estimate of $450 and told me to bring in the car the next day, because it was likely I didn't need the repair. Sure enough, when I took it to S&M, they said I could wait to replace the rear brakes. I trust S&M and Shady. I will definitely continue to take my car to them.

If you're looking for an honest, highly skilled mechanic, S & M Automotive is outstanding and checks so many boxes! I come down from Ventura to see "Shady", and his name couldn't be more ironic, because there's nothing shady about him or his work. He's been maintaining my 2005 Lexus SC430 and has saved me a boatload of money on repairs and maintenance over the years. He's respectful, friendly, and clearly takes pride in getting things right. My most recent service made the car run like it did when it was new. The engine is humming smoothly again, something I've honestly NEVER experienced after a repair or routine maintenance anywhere else and I've owned this car since 2007. And while the name S & M Automotive might make some people do a double take (hahaha), the only thing painful here is realizing how unnecessary other repair bills can be once you find a mechanic this good and dependable. If you want honest, skilled automotive service, S & M Automotive is absolutely trustworthy and dependable.

A "great family deal" is how you end up trapped in an abusive, one-sided relationship with a four-wheeled "luxury vehicle". Enter Ontime Mobile Mechanic, and more importantly, Alejandro: a saint for men who have made devastating automotive decisions. Apparently, Land Rover engineers designed the window regulators on this absolute trash can of a luxury vehicle to self-destruct on a rotating schedule after year seven. If one window goes down, it's not coming back up. Three of these babies went out within a period of six months. Luckily, Alejandro rolled up to my driveway like an absolute legend. Alejandro popped off the panels, replaced the parts, and reassembled everything cleanly, quickly, and without laughing directly in my face about my purchasing choices. Massive five star service. Now, miraculously, all the glass moves vertically again. The cabin is quiet and I no longer have to explain to drive-thru workers why I have to physically open my door to order a coffee. Alejandro is prompt, insanely skilled, upfront, and quite frankly the only reason this car isn't currently burning at the bottom of a ravine. Do yourself a favor, call Ontime Mobile, ask for Alejandro, and never do business with family.

They came to me, so I was able to stay home and take care of my family while my car was being serviced. It was such an easy and stress-free experience. I could just go about my day at home and wait until everything was ready. This kind of convenience makes a huge difference, and I would definitely recommend OnTime Mobile Service! I had a alternator replaced- and battery- He even helped me fix some things on the spot. I didn't feel pressure- trustworthy business I highly recommend

Sergio's Auto Repair

Sergio's Auto Repair

(30 reviews)

I have been a customer of Sergio's for nearly 20 years, and the crew--Chava, Cuco, and…read moreEddie--consistently provide excellent work, friendly service, and decades of experience. Their prices are fair and honest, and even minor mechanical repairs are completed much faster than what I've experienced at most dealerships. In all these years, I only had to bring my car back once, and it turned out the issue was completely unrelated to the original repair. One experience that really stood out happened years ago when my car key broke off in the trunk lock. A mobile locksmith quoted me $250 to remove the broken piece and make a new key. Instead, I took the car to Sergio's. Chava came out with a small tool, removed the broken key in less than five minutes, and had me on my way. He didn't charge me a dime. That kind of honesty, professionalism, and customer service is hard to find these days, which is why I continue to trust Sergio's with my vehicles.

As of a few months a go I went to Sergio's Auto Repair to get a transmission looked at for my…read moremother's Van. (And to be fair Sergio seemed to be a bit boggled by the issue I brought him but he still went ahead and did a repair...) Fast forward a few months and the issue still persisted, and the transmission ended up not shifting into other gears, so I ended up taking it to a specialty transmission shop yesterday (03.18.2026). All in all I would recommend this shop but maybe just for simple repairs and nothing too out of the ordinary since they do not specialize in any particular area of autos. *Also, it would've been better if they just said that they dont or wont touch the transmission. Unfortunately the repair that was done here may have ultimately damaged the internals because of lack of knowledge with this vehicle. *On another note, I called the number provided on Yelp (and also what I had saved on my phone) and another "Sergio" answered claiming to be a car wash person and he was confused on how I got "his" number. If they did change the number they should disclose it on Yelp so others wont call the wrong person/ repair shop. (Number I called was 805.483.7901 as it shows on Google and Yelp.) This is not to bash anyone, im simply stating that if a shop is not knowledgable on a particular vehicle they (the shop) can choose to offer the client an alternative shop instead of taking on work they cant fulfill or diagnose correctly. The value was alright all things considered.
