RATS! Boy did I have a day of it with RATS! I have been going to Inland Auto for my smog certificates for a few years now. They offer, quick, know how service with a smile. I've decided to put my Toyota Matrix in Mike, the owners care as well. He knows his stuff. Plus, he truly went above and beyond.... RATS! Rats had made a home under the hood of my rarely driven car. Not just a home, a home for TWO RATS! They had gathered a zillion dates from the date palm tree. Horrible. "Please, can you help me?", I pleaded with Mike. He gave in. Not normally something they would do. Phew! Not many places available that would have done it either. Later, Mike showed me how he'd cleaned up under the hood, and honestly? It looked like a spanking new engine. Rats dead! So, I guess it's obvious why I'll be taking my Matrix to Inland Auto in the future for all its needs. Value for the money? Just right. read more

Originally went to another shop (Murrieta Smog Star) to get a Smog done. Checked the night before for the opening time (07:30 am) and planned my morning accordingly. Got their at 07:25 and no one was there and showed up exactly at 07:30, (this is an indicator in my book already). The guy said that the tech was not there and if I'd give them 15 minutes. I waited the 15 minutes and still no response from anyone there. There are so many negative things I can say about this. First, if you're going to advertised that you are open for work between certain hours you should be ready to work during those hours not start getting ready to work. I seen a sign stating Labor $180 an hour which would equate to $45 of my time just waiting to be served. After my 15 minutes of wasted time I went to Inland Auto which was a few doors down from where I was at. I was immediately and professionally greeted by Mike and taken care of very quickly. The place was spotless which is an indicator to me as to the grade of work they do. While there I also watched how they treated other customers as they came in. I highly recommend using this place for you automotive needs. Professional and reasonably priced! read more

I had my spark plugs and coils replaced and after getting overcharged by Mountain View Tires, I decided to get a second opinion at Inland Auto -- and I'm so glad I did. The service was excellent, honest, and efficient. They gave me a fair quote upfront (much better than what I was originally quoted elsewhere), and had my car ready within a day. The whole process was smooth and professional. Highly recommend Inland Auto if you're looking for reliable work without the markup. read more

$30,000 mile service I have a customer for 13 years and will always feel most comfortable have Mike's Inland Auto complete all services for my cars. He and his team exemplify the highest level of professionalism and competence. I have only had very positive experiences and that in itself, says it all. The quality of all the work that I have had done during all these years has been top-notch. I have complete trust with Mike's deep expertise and he has never steered me wrong. Very fair and reasonable pricing. A+ operation! read more

My ac went out 10-13 and 10-14 I called to see if I could get in. I went in and confirmed my fear, ac compressor dead. Mike was able to get a new compressor and installed same day. Had to come back next day to get serpentine belt warranty as it musta got damaged coming off or back on. Things happen and I loved the way it was taken care of!! read more

Mike and the guys did a great job as always. They can always be counted on to do quality work at a fair price. I always trust them not to do more than is needed. read more

I had an awesome experience I was in there for a smog check and the Man said it would be 15 to 20 min and he was a Man of his word. That's hard to come buy these days really it is. I tell you the last place I went to wanted to charge me 420 for a wire harness repair due to part and labor and a failed smog test. Get it done get it done right and the first time that's what I love very good business with guesstimates that hit the Mark bullseye will definitely be coming here for all my vehicles to get smogeded. I learned the hard way but now it's the only way Johnny boy Out read more

If Elvis was alive, he'd be writing songs about how great Inland Auto is! Great communication along with friendly, fast & great work on my car. When my car wouldn't start, I was at a loss as to where to take it. Especially with the 3 day holiday weekend approaching. Inland Auto was suggested by my AAA tow truck driver & I'm really glad he did! Mike was great to work with & I had my car diagnosed and repaired & I got it back the next day. I highly recommend Inland Auto for all of your car repair needs. A+++++++ Ken Blake read more

They were very courteous, fast, and efficient with excellent pricing. Will definitely be returning for future service and smog. Thank you Mike. read more

Mike has been my go-to for the past few years... My car has 261k mi on it and I trust it will get to 400k if I keep bringing it to Mike. read more

Excellent customer service! Mike was so courteous and pleasant. He answered all questions with a smile.

Mike and his team are my go to guys for all my cars. Always professional, always fair, always keep me in the loop with updates, zero BS. Hard to find folks like this in the world these days. It's because of these guys that my almost 20 year old Dodge Magnum runs perfectly even at almost 200k miles. They always make the extra effort when needed to make sure everything is 100%. Can't say enough good things about Inland Auto !!! read more

Thank you mike !! My car has been a headache going back and forth feeling like I was given the run around. Thank you for everything you're very appreciated. I will definitely recommend people to you :) read more

Mike has shown me how much he cares about his business and reputation. When a owner takes the time to read and contact customers about their experience, it speaks volumes, thanks for the call. Darrick read more

Inland Auto - My car, looking to find a reliable auto repair, I hope this is it!!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Murrieta, California

They asked me to write a review because it helps them out, but they didn't help me out at all This is what happened folks: Truly I hesitate to give them a second star. I took my car to get my ac fixed and I left with a still broken ac and almost a 130.00 less. They didn't not diagnose my car correctly and improperly assumed what the issue was with my car without ever asking me. They wouldn't give me my keys so I could test it myself until I paid. And after I paid and got the chance to check, it still didn't work and Inland Auto told me I had to pay a second diagnosis fee because the issue wasn't what they thought it was. Left with broken ac on a hot day. Truly got fooled by them. read more

Update. The owner replied to me. I could barely understand his grammar but I found it ironic how he would criticize my views yet he said it's important to respect others who have different views. I wouldn't bash a business but I would be truthful because I don't want customers to feel uncomfortable if they're unwelcome. I'm strongly against bashing a business but I support customers being vocal feeling uncomfortable if the business doesn't respect their health or the law. ‍ read more

Mike and his team are always honest and really take care of not only your car, but the customer as well. After having a lot of run-ins with some questionable places in the past I now bring my business only here knowing my vehicle is in good hands read more

Thank you so much for helping my Mom and I with her cars AC! it's been a tough two years without it. we are so grateful it's fixed and blowing cold. Mike was awesome! reasonable prices, he was super quick, and let us know what was happening every step of the way. thanks again mike! read more

Highly recommend that you take your vehicle in to get serviced at Inland Auto. I sent in an email request to get an oil change and they helped me the next day as I requested even though it was short notice. I definitely will be back to get my car serviced here on a regular basis. read more

Everything was good until I got my car back and saw that my custom paint matched fiberglass rockers on the side of my car were cracked, had scratches, and a chunk of fiberglass taken off. Owner mentioned he had a problem getting my car on the lift due to it being low but continued anyways. Called owner he admitted to it and didn't inform me at the time of pickup and all he had to say was sorry. He did not try to fix or remedy the situation in anyway. My previous experience with them was good but this made it go downhill as I expected a certain amount of quality from them that they gave me before. Also, it was just all repainted only a few weeks prior due to it being in the body shop. Now that body shop work was pointless and a waste of money due to the carelessness of this shop. read more

I needed a smog check right away. They were quick fast and efficient to get me in get me out. Very friendly staff

I had a great smog experience here. Thank you for the great customer service. Definitely quick and painless. I wish I had gotten the name of the gentleman at the front desk, but he knows how to take care of his customers. He had one of his regulars in and you can tell that his shop will take care of you. Will definitely return. read more

Excellent service and great prices!! I've been a customer of Inland Auto for about 4yrs now. I always have a bunch of questions regarding my car and they never seem to mind to answer them. I always refer them to my friends. read more

Was so happy I stopped into this place. Mike was super friendly and quick. I came in for a smog check and I was out within 30mins! During the check I sat in their waiting room which was nice and clean and watched a movie on their tv. I would definitely return and recommend you try them out. read more

Went to Honda, they wanted $1300 for a new AC line and condenser. Brought into Mike for a second opinion and only paid $120 for a recharge service. No leaks!! Would highly suggest seeing Mike before you waste money at the dealership. read more

I have an old Olds 442 convertable, and beieve me when I say it's difficult to find a shop to work on it! I had the AC recharged by another machanic, but it didn't work and I had to find someone else. Initially Mike was leery to work on it, as it's almost 50 years old, but he relented and was able to repair it. Great job and thank you very much! Alan Hanson Murrieta read more

Good prices, friendly staff, great customer service. They helped show me how to change the battery in my key fob so I was able to go to just buy the battery and replace it myself for very cheap. Awesome. read more

I scheduled an oil change , came in for the special . It was suppose to be 9.99$ but because my car uses a different oil it was marked up to $46. Im sorry but no where on the special did it say price would change due to different oil . I did the oil change myself for half the price . LOL . read more

Went in for a smog check. Was in and out in like 15 minutes when car was taken into bay. Been coming here for about 4 years.

Great customer service! Was in and out on the road again in record time! Thanks again Mike!

The smog was done in five - ten minutes. I found this place from searching yelp. They had a coupon when you check in, make sure to show them the coupon from the beginning as I was told. I'd go back if I'm in the area. read more

Went to get a smog, and a few days later the car sounded horrible, called to ask if the can take a look at it and Mike the owner was extremely rude and was getting really defensive when I was telling him my car sounded different after they gave me a smog, and said he was going to charge me to look at it lol wow. Never going there again. read more

Very friendly and courteous. Gave me a discount for Marine Corps Birthday & Veterans Day. (I'm Marine Corps Vet). Only had smog check but will return for any and all repairs needed in the future. Once again thank you for your time. read more

My brakes gave out on me, I got my car towed there and they fixed everything within less than 24 hours. It was crazy and I didn't expect them being that quick. The price was extremely reasonable for everything they had to do. I'm definitely going back if I ever need to get work done on my car. read more

Mike and the Inland Auto team have been our trusted go-to source for oil changes, brakes, and car "health" assessments for many years on both our Toyota Rav4 and Solara. We've enjoyed working with them, they do quality work and get the job done in a reasonable time. We also know from past experience that other shops use Inland Auto as their 'fixit' resource when they do something wrong and need a competent correction done. There have been times in our past where we didn't have a go-to shop to get things done right, and we are happy that we've found Mike and Inland Auto to take care of us now. read more

These guys are the best. Honest, efficient and professional. Mike took the time to show my son around his car after a repair....telling him what to check from oil to tires and when to do so. I really appreciate the extra mile they go for their customers. read more

I found this place to get a smog by driving by. The owner was very nice. I was able to pull up, sign a service order and had my smog done very quickly. This place is clean and comfortable to have services done. Thank you for your great customer service. read more
