Very honest shop, second time back. Will be back again. Decent price and friendly service. Along with speedy maintenance!

I'm embarrassed to admit I'd been driving around for months on just my fog lamps as my aftermarket headlights had fogged and blown their projector bulbs amd became useless. I called many places and they were reluctant to install replacement housings for me. I reached out to Tony and Gabe and within days I was on the rode with my night driving back in tact and brighter than ever! I cannot say enough about the Team at KO. They are the very best of the industry and small town way of swing business which is so valuable in the shark infested industry of car repair. I STRONGLY recommend them! read more

I have taken all of our family cars to Tony and Gabriel at KO for a couple of years now. Quite frankly the nicest and most honest mechanics I've met. Their assessment is always clearly explained and pricing is appropriate to the service needed. So happy to have been referred here! read more

Gabe was extremely helpful with getting my brakes replaced. The car is working awesome! When my battery died, he assisted in getting it repaired quickly to avoid calling AAA repeatedly to get my kid to school. He went above and beyond to help this Mom get her kiddo to school. I highly recommend this mechanic! Thank you Gabe read more

great servic. they take the time to get it right. many shops shy away from "older cars", but they have your back. also a great place for a smog check. read more

Tony and Gabe are excellent mechanics and so friendly!! They know their stuff!! I was able to get my car in right away and they even drove me to a restaurant so I could wait for my car. Their prices are excellent!!! A very happy customer!! read more

We took our Subaru in to K.O. recently for regular service. Their price was quite reasonable, they did the work promptly and no upselling. The is the first time we've used them, but we'll definitely go back. read more

Stumbled here by accident to get a smog check. Service was quick, friendly and super easy. Really appreciated the time that the mechanic took to explain and answer all the questions a young kid had when picking up his vehicle!! read more

Took my Honda 2001 Odyssey for a oil leak which I cannot find. They charge me a really good price for finding the oil leak. Gabriel the manager, he treats everyone respect! He is very under standing. This was my first time at KO automotive. I am very happy with the service. At the time there were busy. I drop the car off first thing morning and picked up my car tomorrow before noon it was done. For now on I am recommending my family and friends to KO Automotive !!!!! read more

Tony and the team have been a trusted mechanic for me for many years. Highly recommend.

Honest n thorough n fixed the issue. Gabriel was great . The price was reasonable also.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE KO AUTO!! Years ago i price compared them to other garages and they consistently had more reasonable prices. I have stayed because we have gotten to know KO. Gabe , Tony, etc are very knowledgeable about what goes wrong w different year cars, explain the situation in easy to understand ways, are SUPER HONEST! They REALLY GO THE EXTRA MILE! They have kept our cars in great functioning order for years. My mother and our now adult children take their cars to KO. I would recommend KO to everyone. I have since moved farther away but it is so worth it to take my car back to KO for reliable, reasonably priced, efficient, honest, and accurately diagnosed service. read more

Thank you KO Automotive for your amazing service today. For those who are reading this, Here is why you want to give you business to KO. Today, Around 5:30 PM PST as I was driving down south on 405, My car starting showing a dangerous warning message that I am extremely low on engine oil and I need to pull to a safety spot and stop. I was lucky that I was close enough to find my way to KO Auto. It was close to 6:00 PM at that point and KO was closed for business but couple of people were still there, trying to wrap up what they were working on. I think it was Tony ( I usually work with Gabe) and I told him the issue. Next thing i know, He jumped in and started diagnosing the issue. For the next 45 minutes, He focused and worked on my car in a 110 F temperature. He explained me the issue, fixed it and to top it off, did not charge me anything because he felt that it should have been done with the service I had done the previous week. Tony and KO - A big thank you. As a customer, my experience was could not have been any better. You have earned my business for a long long time. read more

Great service and reasonable prices. They gave me an estimate, which they did not exceed. The expenses were itemized very clearly, and the repair to my Honda Odyssey was done by the next day. A very professional operation. I highly recommend KO automotive read more

Tony and his team helped me dial in my 56 Ford Courier 351 Cleveland. Nothing but the best work at a fair price. I also sent my son to him for a radiator for his G35. Always right, always fair. You won't be disappointed. read more

A neighbor referred me to KO Automotive and I cannot even begin to tell you how pleased I am at the treatment I received. The price was much better than the other shop I went to plus they said one item I did not need to do this time around. They were friendly, the place is clean, and what a wonderful experience. I would refer everybody to this company. read more

Profession and quality work. I've been utilizing KO Auto for over 20 years with excellent service every time. Tony and Gabriel are honest and professional. read more

Tony and Gabriel are wonderful! I was sad to move away from my old trusted mechanic of 20 years until I found KO Automotive (which came highly recommended from many new neighbors). They are skilled, knowledgeable, really reasonably priced and go out of their way to be helpful. I recommend them without hesitation! read more

I met Tony over 30 years ago when we still lived in "El Toro" (now Lake Forest). KO Automotive is a breath of fresh air in this industry. Honest, fair, prompt, professional. Even after moving to Trabuco Canyon, we still bring our family autos/trucks to Tony including my Son's and Daughter's. KO never sells me something I don't need and frequently the repairs are substantially less than I'd anticipated. They have worked on our VW, Chrysler, BMW, Mini Cooper, Acura, Chevy Silverado & Tahoe, Ford F150 & Taurus, Mercury Mountaineer, Toyota Scion & Tacoma, and they have never let us down. I can't recommend this organization highly enough. read more

Gabriel, Tony and the whole crew are so helpful & professional. Their service is above and beyond. I highly recommend them!

I've been coming to Tony for years and I cannot recommend him enough. Honest, hard-working, and very knowledgeable. You can tell the shop is very different than any others you've been in. Your spider senses that tell you you're being ripped off don't go up. It's run like a mom and pop shop. I have now probably sent 5 or 10 of my friends and neighbors to Tony and they all have given him glowing reviews because he saved them thousands of dollars and treated them like family. Highly recommend! read more

I have taken my cars to KO for more than 20 years. All family and good friends are grateful to have also been referred to KO. Tony Padron, owner is the exceptionally honest, knowledgeable and fair. He'd rather do the right thing for his customers than charge for unnecessary repairs. I've even take used vehicles to him for inspection prior to purchase. One of the things that helps Tony to quickly resolve issues with autos is the fact that he is constantly developing his expertise as new auto technology evolves. He's got a variety of certifications that really make him unique and brilliant in auto repair. read more

KO has been our mechanic for over a decade. We have taken many different cars to them over the years. Gabriel and the team have been very competent, honest and fair. They take care of 95% of our maintenance and one off repairs and they direct us to the dealer if under warranty, etc. There are few in all industries that provide the excellent service level that KO provides. read more

When it comes to auto repair, its important to find a team that you trust. Look no further! Tony and Gabe provide incredible customer service and take the time to explain everything in detail. KO Automotive is everything I have been looking for: expertise, professionalism, high quality, honesty. I'm proud to refer him to all my family and friends, who all come back and tell me of their terrific experiences. read more

Great car service, honest and courteous staff. Have been using them for the last 14 years.

Who likes taking their car in for service? No one! It's a pain in the a$$! And it can blow all of your vacation money. But, you know what? These guys (Tony and Gabriel) make it a pretty pleasant experience. They're honest, quick and do quality work. Now, I'm not saying that I'd rather be here than on a tropical beach sipping a Margarita. But, I am saying to only trust your car's well being to KO Automotive! read more

Tony and Gabriel do a great job. If they tell is we need some repairs, I trust them. We've been taking our cars to them for several years.

Took my old Nissan into the shop because it was stalling.... and K.O. Auto fixed it. reasonable price, friendly staff. Gabe the Service Manger was informative, friendly and quick to help and call with the cars report. Definitely going again, if my car fails me... read more

I've taken all my cars here for 15 years. Friendly staff, competitive pricing, honest people'!

I have been taking my car to Tony and Gabriel for over ten years now (and they were recommended to me by someone who'd been taking their car to Tony for 10 years before me). KO Automotive is everything you could want in an auto repair shop. They are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They will work hard to find and fix your car's issue and keep you in the loop along the way. You can't go wrong with KO Automotive. read more

The most honest mechanics in Orange County. You'd be crazy to go anywhere else! I have both my cars repaired and maintained here, and I bring my parents' cars here too. I highly recommend them to anyone. Very knowledgeable, clean and very reasonable prices. read more

If there was a 10-star rating, KO would get it! We have been using Tony and his crew at KO for close to 20 years. We have referred all of our friends and family and they all call KO "their" mechanic. Tony and Gabriel are honest and knowledgable and run their business with integrity. You can count on them to take care of your vehicles and not to take advantage of you, in any way. We would never take our vehicles anywhere else. read more

My family and I have been going here for years and they are the best! I don't know anything technical about cars and they are always informative and honest, and whenever my friends complain about their shady/expensive mechanics I send them here! I can't even imagine being a person who bounces around from mechanic to mechanic, because Tony, Gabriel, and their staff have never let me down! read more

K.O. Automotive is the best mechanic shop in Orange County! Tony and Gabriel are very skilled, honest and fair. The rates are extremely reasonable. Give them a try and you don't be sorry! read more

KO Automotive has been taking care of our cars for many years now. Our cars are older (2001 & 2005) and we're glad we were referred to Gabriel & Tony to keep our cars in top condition and maintain their reliability. I trust KO's honesty and they never recommend any unnecessary repairs. They will tell you which things should be repaired first so you can space out the repairs to fit your budget. At times they recommend higher cost factory parts over aftermarket parts because of reliability in repairs that require a lot of labor. You don't want another labor intensive repair just to save $40 on aftermarket parts. They will give your options, but I don't want my wife's car breaking down somewhere because I saved a few bucks. KO keeps all your records in the computer and lets you know when it's time for oil changes and all factory required maintenance. Much cheaper than going to the dealer. Thanks guys, Vince & Mandy read more

Trust worthy, reliable, honesty... KO has been a true place to take my car for any problems... I hate to say this but the dealership are crooks... read more

I had these guys work on my old motor-home. The carbs needed rebuilding, so that it would pass smog. They did a great job. I've very pleased with the work, and customer service. read more

we used ko weekly for our smog testing, they are excellent and profesional;

KO Automotive does an excellent job on car repairs. Gabriel and Tony are fair, friendly, easy to deal with, and charge reasonable rates for high quality work. They are very honest and trustworthy. The mechanics do a great job! I would send everybody needing car repairs their way. read more

I'm a woman and this is an honest shop. The last time I went in, Gabe replaced a rear lightbulb for me and only charged me $5! The last time I had a light problem another shop told me it was a computer glitch in the lights and I paid $600! I've had other repairs done at KO and they've always explained in detail, stuck with the estimate and been reliable. read more
