    Jaime B.

    Jacob and his team are by far the best experience I had as far as a shop and customer connection. Knows what he is talking about and is very passionate you can tell right away. Took my EG and he did all the works. Can't thank em enough huge thanks to Jacob & Dominique for your hard work. Got a lifetime customer.

    Jacob and his guys are fast and professional. I took my eg in for a swap. After months of collecting parts and preparing, I thought I had everything. Of course I didn't. J was able to source all the little obscure pieces I needed to get me in and out in no time. Great service, faiQuality work and timeliness. Couldn't ask for more.

    When you see the pizza place "valentinos" turn into that driveway. Its at the end of the building. This speed shop has been called Import Life Performance for about the last 10 years. Family owned and operated which makes it nice. The owner is extremely friendly and their work is top notch. I have had motor swaps, engine builds and regular maintenance performed. Each time they exceeded my expectations.

    They have built two of my car's and a couple of my friends motors. Jacob and Ben are great mechanics. And I consider them good friends

    See all

    5 stars Francis at Full Service Auto & Transmission Repairs…read morein La Mirada did a lot of work on my 2007 GMC Yukon XL and he nailed it. He replaced the radiator and water pump, repositioned the external transmission cooler, and replaced the tail housing gasket on the transmission. My truck has never run cooler transmission temps than it does now. Francis is very knowledgeable and actually understands how these older trucks heat up when you're towing or sitting in traffic. He explained what he was doing and why instead of just slapping parts on. If you need cooling or transmission work done right, take it to Francis.

I found Francis through an online search because of the many positive reviews, and during our first interaction he was friendly, professional, and seemed very knowledgeable. He ordered the part directly from Acura and quoted me a fair price. My car was ready the following day, but when I arrived to pick it up, Francis informed me that my vehicle had been involved in an accident while in his care. He explained that another driver had been speeding through the parking lot and crashed into him. He gave me the other driver's information, and I contacted him immediately. The other driver gave a very different version of events. He stated that he was backing out of a parking space and did not see Francis. He also told me that Francis provided his driver's license information but refused to share insurance information. Now, more than a month later, I still have a damaged vehicle and have not received insurance information from Francis despite multiple phone calls, text messages, and outreach from Mercury Insurance. I trusted this shop to take care of my car, not return it to me in worse condition and leave me responsible for a $500 deductible. What has been most disappointing is the lack of accountability and urgency. Francis acted as though this situation was not a major concern and repeatedly assured me that the other driver would "take care of it," which has not happened. According to the other driver, Francis even asked him to change the story about what happened. I chose this business because of its strong reviews and the image Francis presents, but my experience has been extremely stressful and disappointing. I believe customers deserve honesty, transparency, and responsibility when their vehicle is in someone else's care.

    I recently had a great experience with Action Auto and wanted to share…read more My Honda CR-Z driver-side door handle mechanism stopped working (apparently a common issue with these cars). I had already purchased an OEM replacement handle from an authorized Honda parts dealer, and initially planned to have the dealership install it. However, the dealership quoted me a very high labor cost and required me to leave my car overnight due to their busy schedule. After doing some research, I found Action Auto in Cypress and spoke with Mark. From the very first phone call, Mark was friendly, professional, and transparent. Best of all, his quote was about half the price of what the dealership wanted to charge. The convenience was a huge bonus. They told me I could bring my car in anytime between 8am-5pm (and even Sundays 8am-3pm). I dropped off my car at 8:30am, and it was ready by lunchtime the same day. On top of that, they even offered a complimentary shuttle ride home--something the dealership no longer provides. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Mark's customer service was outstanding both over the phone and in person. The shop itself was clean and well-organized, and I noticed several repeat customers while I was there, which says a lot about their reputation. Most importantly, my door handle works perfectly now--just like when I first bought the car. I'll definitely be coming back to Action Auto for future repairs. Thank you, Mark, for making this such an easy and positive experience!

    We have been taking our car to Action Auto for over a year, and honestly, this is how every shop…read moreshould operate. No upselling, no runaround, no "don't call us, we'll call you" and disappear. Just straight-up honest work and clear communication. They break everything down in a way that actually makes sense, they get the job done quickly, and they don't make me feel like I am getting taken for a ride (which can be rare nowadays). If you're tired of guessing whether you can trust your mechanic, this is the spot.

Do not recommend especially for those in the cool air rebate program. You're right the price should not be the key reason as to why you got a one star review. Allow me to elaborate my experience. First time calling you were giving attitude towards me for getting another phone call. I had to go ahead and be quick about the info. The day of the appointment you were questioning my name and asking if I am who I am. You spelled my name wrong and made a big fuss for no reason. After that was over I left the car with you and you told me I would get a phone call from you after the diagnostic. Time passed and I got the phone call, you told me what I was wrong and I wanted to see for myself what was wrong by asking again what the issue was. Again the attitude came in and you huff and puff about it. Why am I the customer getting attitude from someone who is supposed to answer the customers question. That is already making me feel uneasy of doing the repair. Back to the call you told me it's a total of 2-2.5k overall and I would only pay 800. I was surprised by the cost and went ahead and investigated. Called different shops and I was told about the price range I mentioned. I walked back to you and you gave attitude towards me for giving you the same energy you did to me. You then said, I don't know why you're giving me attitude it's just who I am." Sorry but that attitude won't get you much trust and the same energy you want. Would like to mention you're dissing on other mechanics repairs for no reason. There's a a reason why people don't go with the first option all the time. Would like to mention as well the mechanic who repaired it gave me a free two year warranty and 24k miles which ever comes first. All in all, one star for you bud Last time I'm going to comment this. Since you're not understanding my one star review. A bad experience before the repair even starts is more than enough reason to take business elsewhere. There was no price haggling or price bullying on the phone. The narrative of it is untrue. I never once quoted a ChatGPT response. I called other mechanics to compare your price point. Many mechanics argue that it was too much and is charging too much. I also appreciate that you're starting to admit the attitude you had towards me was inappropriate. Here's what I will say, elsewhere I only paid 170 after the program assistance and the repair was done with quality parts.
