They would even follow up to make sure that the a/c was holding up. They're honest about what's needed, which I really appreciate. Most recently, I needed a headlight bulb replaced, and they handled it in minutes, even though other shops either couldn't do it without taking my car apart or said it would take much longer than it should. If you're looking for a place that's efficient, trustworthy, and reasonably priced, G & J Auto is it. Highly recommend!

A guy by the name of Aaron Medel really messed up our whole experience here. We had our gmc work…read moretruck painted from original blue color to white. The outcome was horrendous. There were massive drip marks in the finished product as well as a ton of over spray. In some spots it looked like they ran out of paint to finish it bc there is not enough paint covering and the coat is so thin ( like rattle can ). In one part it looks like 2 different colors were used , white and some yellowish color. Also we can still see some faint blue behind the white color.. He lied to us also. Had the truck delivered via AAA tow truck on June 23, 2017 he texted us on the 28th telling us it was ready. I asked him for a photo of the truck he said he didn't have one. So we live in Mission Viejo which is a 1.5 hour drive or 3 hour round trip. On June 29th the next day my friend went out to the shop on the basis that the truck was ready, we'll it wasn't to our surprise, Aaron had said that he had problems getting it in the paint booth and that it would be ready in 2 hrs time... it's a Friday no one was looking to stick around in the heat. Plus why did he say that it was ready the day before?????? Anyways the finished product was nightmare to the heart point where it needs to be Repainted AGAIN. We are looking to sell the truck so we are not expecting a well paint job. There goes 770 dollars down the drain. Horrible customer service that guy should be fired..

Unfortunately, my experience with Kiros Auto went from good to bad to the worst in a matter of weeks. This is a detailed review so for those who don't want to read this long rant, the bottom line is this shop sucks but shame on me for being penny wise and pound foolish in trusting them to fix my import luxury car. The shop is family-owned and run by brothers Kiro and Mike and their dad Alex. Mike is passionate about cars and very knowledgeable. He is also a smooth talker who handles most of the communication. He will also lie to your face. I drive a 2008 hybrid SUV that has over 100,000 miles so I knew I it was time to do some maintenance. Initially I went to this shop because they offered the best price for headlight restoration. They did a great job on the headlights so in an effort to save money, I trusted them to handle a tire monitor situation that was causing my check system light to stay on. The dealer wanted upwards of $1,500 to fix the problem. Kiros Auto said they could fix it for $700-800, maybe less because they were willing to investigate the status of each sensor rather than just trying to replace all of them. Only one sensor was bad so I felt good about the work Kiros had done. Then I ended up replacing my battery via AAA and took a road trip and my check system light came back on. I called the shop from the road and Mike said I should check the tires to make sure I hadn't gotten a puncture since they fixed the sensors. I stopped at a Jiffy Lube that checked my tire pressure and informed me that my tires actually needed replacing. Upon closer inspection I saw that my tires were very worn and nearly cracking. I was surprised that Kiro had not mentioned this to me since they were working on my tires! This should have been a red flag. When I got back to town I took my car back to them since the tire sensor repair was under warranty. They had my car for nearly a week then I got it back and thought everything was fine. Hah! Two days after getting my car back, it wouldn't start at all. I called back AAA who jumped the car and I took it back to Kiro to see if in the reprogramming of my tire sensors, something had been thrown off. Mike reassured me that this was not the problem then gave me a long speech about the poor quality of AAA batteries. He suggested the battery was bad and to test it, they put in a new battery and kept my car overnight so they could monitor and test it. Sure enough he determined the battery was not holding a charge (I did get a refund from AAA). I then let him put one of their batteries in my car and prepared to go on another road trip. I ended up stranded in the mountains when this new battery died. Upon my return, I again found myself at the shop due to the warranty situation. This time, Mike determined I had a parasitic draw on the battery due to a faulty electronic control unit (ECU). I authorized replacement. Turns out the part was a special order so I was out of my vehicle for another 2-3 weeks! I couldn't understand the delay until I pressed for explicit details which is when I realized they were ordering used parts that were actually defective. I asked them to order a new part from the dealer. When I came to pick up my car, not only was the vehicle not ready as promised, but one of their mechanics was literally still working on my car. He had my tire iron in his hand and I noticed my spare tire compartment was broken. I pointed this out to Kiro who said they would fix it along with with my windows that no longer worked. Now I'm pissed and don't trust them. I just wanted my vehicle back intact. Mike promised everything would be made right. So I was furious when I went to pick up my car to find the windows still didn't work, nor had they fixed what they broke on my car, and now my alarm didnt work either. The windows were just a quick reinitializing process but the repair for the broken spare tire compartment again required a special order. What infuriated me even more was the dad Alex trying to insinuate that I had broken the tire compartment. Since Kiro was present when I discovered the problem and I had been pretty accommodating up to that point, they didn't force the issue and agreed to repair it. They charged me another $500+ despite all their incompetence and I paid it to get my keys back and get out of the shop without incident. However I was able to dispute the charges and recover some of my money. I had to take my car back to the dealer after all. That's when I discovered they really did not know how to reprogram the ECU which was why the alarm and the windows were having issues. I also found out it would cost me $500-700 to fix the stuff they broke. All in all, these guys talk a good game and may even have a lot of great car knowledge but they are liars and cheats. Buyer beware.

He agreed to refund $300 which I NEVER received after MULTIPLE attempts of getting in touch with him. It's clear that this guy is dishonest and is actively scamming people.
