Kings is an excellent repair shop for just about any car. For me it is an old BMW. Ed can be trusted to do only what is needed and to charge a fair and honest price. Eric who works there too is a great mechanic and a very nice human being. I really recommend anyone to go here with any car! read more

Brought my car to Kings Auto..I appreciate the work done to my Toyota camera!! very nice, polite, trustworthy, great customer service, best prices, and best quality! Thank you Eddy read more

18 year customer, never again. Ed told me $210 and he has the part on order. Instead my charges turned out to be $350 and it's the same old part it was before. My previous service seemed a little high but I'm a loyal customer and I don't mind paying a little more, because I think I know what I'm getting. Now I guess he is just crooked. I know how to work my cars, my car wouldn't smog so I replaced the CCV valve on it. Still got a check engine light on so instead of continuing to spend money, I took it to Ed to help me diagnose and get a cost on having him do it. Turns out the intake boot slipped off the throttle body.i I can go back and change it myself but the convenience of $210 and supporting a small business is what I chose. I've trusted this shop for almost 2 decades, and it's different now. The trust is broken, everything feels like a hard sell. And now those feelings are confirmed. I went back to the shop 15 minutes after picking it up because the car was still running rough and throwing error codes. Eddie came out to the car and stuck his head in my car, without a mask on his face 4 inches away. I asked him three times to put a mask on nicely at first, if he's going to be in my face. He refused and argued about wearing a mask. At this point I've made my mind that this is my last visit and I'll just take the car somewhere else for service. I told Eddie that I was never coming back, turned my back and walked back to my other car I drove in. Eddie followed me back to my car yelling at me wanting to argue and fight. I shut my car door and he opens my car door up and threatened me really trying to start a fight with me. He was yelling and spitting in my face. All because I asked him to wear a mask when we are face to face. Disinfect your car after they touch it because this shop is anti-mask. I'm not a crazy mask person. I only asked him to wear a mask when in uncomfortably close proximity, when I went into his shop I didn't say a word and wore my mask and he didn't. His house his rules. My car, my face, my rules and my choice to take my business elsewhere. If you do go to this guy, ask him to save the parts and take pictures before and after Protect yourself; You're better off at the dealership. Update: the car is throwing the same codes as it was before so that confirms my suspicion this guy is a scammer opportunist. My best guess is they didn't test the vacuum system after they reattached the old boot. Took my money and sent me on my way. What a joke. Save your money, go someplace else. read more

What didn't go well? Great person, with a kind and compassionate demeanor. Gave me an initial estimate. Then, the actual estimate came as promised and it was slightly lower. Then, he gave me a great ETA that I was more than happy with. Did I mention they beat the ETA as well? Awesome!!! read more

$150 just for a radiator hose that's $21 at autozone and zero warranty- this is just another car repairman raping you. Almost as bad as a car salesman or a lawyer read more

Kings Auto Clinic - Almost $150 for a radiator hose???!!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Orange, California

Ed, owner of Kings Auto Clinic is an incredible person. Women often get taken advantage of when it comes to automotive repair. Ed treats everyone like family. Ed was recommended by a friend who's firefighter son gets his car repairs here. Ed is honest and does quality work at very fair prices. Saved me $400 the first time I met him. Ed goes out of his way to help. Plus, he has made recommendations for other auto services I needed, tire & auto body that has saved me big time! I'm so blessed to know Ed and I can wholeheartedly recommend Kings Auto Clinic in Orange. Word of mouth and first hand personal experience is the best referral you can get. Go see Ed. read more

Eddie is the man. Saved me $300 on brakes compared to Firestone. Super friendly and quick service.

Eddie, is great. Car is always ready on time and prices are very reasonable, with great customer service.

This review is long overdue. Our family has been bringing our cars to Ed for years; decades, even. He is honest & always offers the best advice with the customers best interest in mind, which is a rarity. He has always shared with me what jobs can be put off or bypassed, even at his expense. Once, I thought my car was going to eat-it due to what seemed like a major malfunction. I had turned to Google & all roads led to transmission problems. I took the car to Ed's, and an hour later he called me to pick up my car...it was the gas cap..no charge. It's nice to have a mechanic you can trust. It gives me a great peace of mind. read more

My daughter was the first to find Kings Auto. Now Eddie services all my families vehicles. Top notch service affordable prices. Taking my car for service at King's feels like going home. Warm comfortable environment. Phillip H. Stafford read more

Eddie is the owner of this shop & he was great! Been here for 15 years & specializing in the German & Swedish automobiles, but he can work on any car. Before opening his own shop, he was a mechanic at the #1 BMW dealer in the US for many years. So many people I know & work with take their cars to Eddie & all recommended him. He not only does great quality work at extremely decent prices, but he also serves a really good cup of Colombian coffee...and proud of it:P We brought him a Mazda today. Got it towed in at 8am...he found what the issue was that morning & got it done before he closed up shop same day! Thankfully it was a minor thing that only cost a couple hundred dollars. I highly recommend bringing any car to Eddie. He's been in the business for several decades, so he's pretty much seen it all. I would just say that you should only stay in that first office through the front door. The place could use a woman's touch here & there & all over...lol! But it is an all men's mechanic shop...so what could you say really:P read more

My family has been going to King's Auto Clinic for years. Eddie has worked on several of our cars and he is reliable with years of experience. Oil changes, tune-ups, engine work...this is the place we go to. When my daughter needed her car tuned up for a cross country drive, I knew I could trust him to do the job. I value his opinion and he has referred me to other people when we needed bodywork done. Eddie will give you an honest opinion, and he is passionate about what he does. I highly suggest bringing your car here! read more

I've had nothing but great experiences here with Ed. This is a true honest shop that values the customers. I started bringing my car in a few years ago when I first got it and Ed is great because he provides respect and care for the customer and car. Would recommend this shop to anyone, I was referred here for my 87' BMW E30 and trust this shop to provide the best service! read more

Great guy!! And he knows his stuff!!! I have a BMW so it's hard to find mechanics that actually know what they're doing and won't over charge you. My car runs great! Definitely a Machanic you can trust to do good business! read more

Very good service! I failed my smog and the owner helped me through the whole process. He treats you like a friend, and feels very welcoming! Would definitely come back here again. read more

Top notch care and service. Went in for a smog test and the owner, Ed, showed me that one of my motor mounts was completely cracked so the motor was not being held in place in the right front of the car which is dangerous. He ordered the part, replaced the motor mount, smogged the car now I'm safe and good to go! Terrific experience all around! Super fair pricing, given up front. Thanks King's Auto Clinic! I'll be a return customer. read more

Eddie is the most honest and straight forward mechanic you will ever meet. He truly cares and is a no nonsense kind of guy. Don't look any further!! I promise you will not regret it. read more

Always had a great experience here with Eddie. He's great at what he does as is the rest of his crew. Long overdue for this review which he definitely deserves. I don't trust anyone else to take a look at my car, Eddie is the go-to. There's a reason he's been around as long as he has so do yourself a favor and take your car in here if you need any work done. Thanks for everything you've helped me with in the last few years. Always appreciated! read more

Ed was one of the friendliest people I've met, not only did he fix the problem I came in for but took care of several other issues. He took great care of the vehicle and brought it back faster than I thought. Hope to see you again! read more

Great, honest, friendly place! Found it via google search and after calling a few places liked the way the owner spoke to me on the phone. Very respectful and a good listener. Definitely made a loyal customer out of me. Try it out. read more

Friendly, generous, and easy to work with. I took my car in after failing a smog test. I'm not a wealthy person and expected the worst. Eddie and his people kept the price within reason, fixed the car over the course of two days, and even took it in to get it re-smogged. I couldn't have asked for better service. I'll be back. read more

It you want to be treated like a king, take your cars for service to Kings Auto. No one offers better service than Eddie at Kings Auto in Orange!!! read more

Kings Auto Clinic - Entrance to King's Auto Clinic. REALLY nice guy works there named Ed. Very knowledgable and customer service oriented :) - Auto Repair Near Me - Orange, California

If you live in Orange County and need a good independent auto mechanic, look no farther than Kings Auto in Orange. Anytime I need something done to our family's cars, I bring it to Eddie at Kings Auto. He has treated me so good for many years and he and his staff are extremely professional. My wife has a 2006 BMW. She drives it a lot and it needs constant repair work(a few times a year). The cost is about half or even less than would be to have the work done at a dealership. I can't praise this place enough. Everyone needs a good mechanic they can trust. Please don't hesitate to use Kings Auto. This review was way overdue. read more

What can I say about Kings auto ? ! This place is wonderful! Honest, ethical facility - they really take care of you. I've been bringing both my cars here for years and I feel like family. I was first introduced to Kings auto after I got a price for repairs from another place. My buddy told me about them and I checked it out. I was sold ever since then. I paid half of what the other place wanted and they told me that I could use my warranty for the other parts/service that I needed. Who turns away business and tells me it's covered under my warranty? I can't say any more about this place. read more

Kings Auto is fair and reputable auto care clinic. Eddie, the master mechanic, has always been accurate with his vehicle diagnostics and has never over charged me for his services. I've been bringing my car to Eddie for years now and he has never steered me wrong. There has even been occasions when other mechanics have misdiagnosed an issue with friends vehicle's and Eddie was able to figure it out right away. If you're in need of an honest mechanic then give Eddie a call. read more

An honest mechanic is worth their weight in gold! I have zero reservations taking my car to Eddie. He is honest and smart. He will tell me what needs to be done and what can wait. My car is always running so much better have it's been to his shop. My family has been going to him for years and we won't go anywhere else...not even for an oil change. Take your car to Eddie...you won't be sorry read more

Update: Five Years later and I still love this mechanic. So grateful that my daughter and I have a mechanic we can trust. He has gotten us through accidents and used car purchases. Don't know what we'd do without him. read more

Mr Ed, the most honest mechanic to depend on your luxury cars . Kings auto clinic is a reliable place for repairs . been goin since they opened their shop. read more

Ed was awesome! He told me exactly what my car needed and didn't leave anything unknown to me. He also gave me other tips to help keep my car running smoothly, and I can appreciate that. The service was completed promptly and smoothly. Definitely coming back here to Ed for any other car maintenance. Great person overall and outstanding service. Thank you Ed! read more

I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I could not get past the smog test, even after advice and repairs from other mechanics. Eddie at King's Auto Clinic identified the problem very quickly, and it was nothing too expensive. He was also quite friendly and explained everything thoroughly. After completing his repairs, the car passed the smog test with a large margin for error, unlike the last couple times when it barely passed. This experience made a new customer out of me, as I plan to return the next time I need any kind of repair. I highly recommend King's Auto Clinic. (I live in Orange, CA, not San Francisco) read more

I truly appreciate Eddie's kindness and knowledge of vehicles. I've been going to him for about 3 years now, and will not take my Mercedes anywhere else. Thank you, Eddie! read more

I found an HONEST Auto shop! Based on the recommendation from a Family member I had my Nissan towed there when the transmission wouldn't shift into gear. A competitor quoted me $2800 on a used transmission. The next morning I got a call from Eddie with an estimate. When he confirmed the transmission was shot, I was expecting a similar quote. He dropped a $1250 figure for parts and labor. Warranted for 90 days. 10,000 miles later, my car is running like new. I will never take my car anywhere else. :) read more

Went in to get a smog check and was told by Ed that I needed a new transmission and was quoted $3,403.00! Luckily my son new a transmission shop owner so I took it there only to find out that there is nothing wrong with my transmission. I guess a women walking into a mechanic shop is a target!!!! read more

Came in for a smog check and the they guy was on the phone. I waited patiently for 5 mins, then walked outside to take a personal call myself. Came back in after 10 mins, the guy was still on the phone. It was a personal phone call because over heard help laughing about a trip they did. Anyhow, I told him don't stop talking on my account because I'm outta hear. Goes to show you how much they care about customer service. read more

Long over due review for such excellent service! Ed took care of me as if he's known me his whole life. After purchasing a lemon on Craigslist, Ed took my car under his care and brought it back to life. This was my first BMW and Ed educated me on how to properly maintain the car and what to expect. Ed was honest and wasn't looking for an extra buck, he was looking to lend a hand. Ed's pricing was fair and unbeatable- not to mention the incredible customer service and attentive crew. Ed is someone I will recommend to any student or BMW enthusiast who's looking for a great mechanic with no gimmicks. I've met a lot of shady mechanics in Orange, but I've never felt more positive about doing business with Ed. two thumbs up and 5 stars! read more

I cant comment on the service, as every time ive shown up for a smog check, the technician was out. I called several times before going to ensure they were there. If you tell me that you do smog tests from 8am to 430pm...and you are never there after 2...then you dont really do smog after 430. Do you? read more

My daughter went to get a smog test (as she is new to Cali) & her oil changed, as it turned out she didn't have the paper for the smog test (so that was put on hold) but they said they would still give her the coupon price for the smog test even though she couldn't come back til the day after the coupon ran out.... and if that wasn't enough, when they inspected her brakes she needed new brakes and rotors. They gave her a special on the brakes, a Christmas discount. They were very nice and helpful to my daughter which deems them as a 5 star place! read more
