They are all Honest, Dependable. Very knowelgable about my Mercedes and Lincoln Vehicles

I called and scheduled an oil change for my boyfriend and I and they were able to accommodate us both the following day. They were both done within an hour. The price was a little more than places I've been before but it was the first mechanic I've been to where I wasn't upsold or felt like I was being scammed in any way (which is huge when I go by myself, as a woman). Definitely planning on coming here again! read more

Quick service and very fair price. Genuinely helpful people who got us back on the road with as little fuss as possible.

I called Solvang auto repair, they got me in tha next day. I needed a front brake job. They put on new rotors and pads and in 2 hours it was all done...my front brakes don't shake anymore. Reputable place and the price was right. Good guys at this place! read more

This hard working crew helped me out when my engine light came on. Although they were busy, they diagnosed the problem and resolved it in 5 minutes. No charge. Very grateful for their help! read more

Had new horns installed and they fell off while driving in one day. Lost the horns. Had a clutch put in and in a week, the clutch wasn't working. Went to another shop and they said who put that clutch in. It was the wrong clutch for my truck. Had to buy a new one and was never reimbursed the money from Lunde. read more

I called to get a smog check (wanting same day service) but they were all booked. I explained my situation and said I work in Santa Barbara Monday through Friday so I wouldn't be able to take my car in any other day. They told me to drop off my car and they would work on it in between appointments. About one hour later it was ready! This is the definition of great customer service. I would highly recommend. read more

My friend and I are visiting from out of town and he had an issue with his car and was afraid to drive it to our next destination. The people here were very friendly and knowledgeable and they managed to squeeze the car in to take a quick look at it even though they were quite busy. We were able to get the car jn and out very quickly. Highly recommended! read more

Unfortunately I had a very disappointed experience I have a jeep there for over two months, they call me to tell me that was ready for pickup i got the jeep drove two block and I have to bring it back to the shop nothing was fix for the contrary was running worse than when I dropped it off. I turn around when back to the shop and they told me to leave it! Month later I picked up nothing was done ! They claimed that was nothing wrong with the jeep ! Even my wife realized the jeep was running with 5 cylinders! On top of that they took half tank of gas from my jeep DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR THERE THEY HAVE To BE THE MOST INCOMPETENT MECHANIC THAT I EVEN CAME A CROSS USELESS ! read more

My car had broken down on Hwy 154 near Solvang ... I'm from Los Angeles so was looking to have to be towed all the way home... Dave Valencia from the US Forrest Service had stopped to help and suggested I give Duane and his shop a try... It was Good Friday Dave called and they were nice enough to get me in... The towing service was happy staying local and just taking me to Solvang! Within 2 hours the hose was replaced and I was back on the road to start my weekend. Duane and my local mechanic chatted and all was good to go! Acts of kindness like this has been lost for awhile and I'm glad to see that it's still out there... Duane and team Bronco ( my lab ) and I thank you again! read more

This is our mechanic of choice in The Valley. These folks are great, honest, well priced, and even nice. We are grateful to have this shop in our community. read more

My wife are from San Jose and were on vacation in Santa Barbara. On our way home we stopped by Solvang. Our care started to misfire on our way to Solvang and the issue got worse and worse. We were about to either get a hotel in Solvang or get the car towed to San Jose, neither option was not ideal. I called Lunde's and even though they were stacked and that there were only two of them they took a look at our car. They fixed the problem in an hour and we were able to drive home. Lunde's were our heroes that day! Very honest mechanics and did not overcharge us a bit. I wish we had mechanics like this in the Bay Area. read more

My experience here is limited to smog tests. I must say though that Mr. Lunde is most helpful in that he not only didn't take any money but explained very clearly in easy to understand terms why my car wasn't "ready" for a smog test. He then searched for and printed out a routine that would get my car "ready" for a smog test. Very helpful. read more

I have been going to Solvang Auto (Lunde's) for years and years. I have had them do every type of work on my family's various vehicles. They never let me down. Honest, fair priced and never push unneeded repairs on you. Sal, Duane, Manuel and everybody there is great. I recommend them to friends, family, and everyone I meet in need of auto repair in north SB county. read more

Great shop with honest good guys working there. Highly recommend. They don't overcharge and have great customer service. Wish we had an auto repair shop like this one closer to where I live. read more

Stopped by for a minor car issue and the worker was very sweet. Helped my sister and I without any hesitation. Seemed reasonable and diligent. read more

Great tire repair. Inexpensive. Excellent and friendly service. Get flats fixed immediately

I highly recommend coming here for your auto repair needs. They have always been fair, reliable, and trustworthy. They also have outstanding customer service, which is hard to find these days. Ask for Manuel, he'll make sure you're well taken care of. Their location is amazing too- they are located near the center of town. I've dropped off my car and walked around Solvang and enjoyed everything it has to offer while my car was in the shop. read more

My power steering was starting to grind, I since I just had the Dealer flush the power steering fluid, I was suspicious that something else was wrong. I had no fluid leaking, the levels were correct. I took it to Lunde Solvang. I met Duane, he said they had a full schedule. When I explained that I had 500 miles to head back home, and what the car was doing he agreed to look at it. He asked if he could punch through the reservoir screen because new reservoirs were not readily available. He tested the car for 3/4 hours to make sure everything was good. He even text on Monday to make sure we got home okay. GREAT SERVICE. read more

Had a really great experience at Lunde auto! We were driving a rental car and got a warning that the break fluid was low. We stopped in and the owner checked it immediately and topped it off and sent us on our way. It saved us 3 hours of driving to the spot the rental car company wanted to send us. Great service at this shop! read more

My tire pressure indicator light flicked on early in the morning so I found this place on google maps and swung by. I pulled in and told someone the problem. Another guy came out, checked my tires and added some air. We asked if we needed to pay, he said no need, smiled and said "have a great trip!" Within five minutes our problem was fixed and we were back on the highway. That was really sweet and kind of him to help us out! We left in a great mood from his act of kindness. read more

Honest, transparent, and incredibly helpful. I am from out of town but I will be coming back here for ongoing mechanical needs.

5 stars. I called yesterday morning to ask if they would have time to smog our car. I was able to drop of my car and the immediately offered me a ride home. Keep in mind that I didn't have to ask for it. My vehicle was done in time and they left me a message on my phone as promised. Price wise the same as any other smog place would charge. Definitely will go back. read more

I was visiting the area and had to leave in 2 days when I noticed a noise from the front end of my truck. I self diagnosed it to a wheel bearing or u joint at the wheel. I came to these guys based on reviews late Wed (4:30). They found the u joint problem, ordered the part, called me the next morning saying they could fit me in at 1. The repair was done well and I really feel they took care of me. Great people and great service. read more

Great experience - passing through for a short hour visit on a busy Friday afternoon when I smelled and saw coolant all over the place. The owner looked at it right away and looked for a part. No part was available that day so he did a "fix-it" repair to get me home. We arrived safely with no problems. The charge to help us was VERY reasonable. Thank you! read more

These guys were awesome. My check engine light went on two days before Thanksgiving. I was heading up north for the holiday. They got me in immediately and ran a diagnostic. They cleared the error message and got me on the way. As they advised the car had no issue that would prevent me from my family holiday, we had a great vacation. Thanks again! read more

We came in with a rental car that had "check brake fluid" warning. They looked at it right away and filled at at no charge. WOW! Great service and we highly recommend! read more

Have to say Jeff and his crew are really great. Had AA help me with dead battery, went to Lunde because he was close and he tried to charge but needed a new battery. Then needed smog to register car and due to the car sitting Jeff advised I drive 100 miles to make sure it passed. Called Tuesday morning and got in at 10, smog completed and home by 10:45. Explained everything for me and a cheery and smiling group of guys. read more

Great service, very helpful and professional staff! Our van unexpectedly displayed an engine light at the start of our Alisal vacation. Linde's quickly addressed the problem and allowed us to continue our vacation. Thank you!! We highly recommend Linde Auto Repair. read more

Jeff and his crew have always delivered the best service and competence. I had my brakes fixed, 95000 inspection and oil change done for my Saturn and all I had to do is schedule appointment online and pick a time. I love how they have your history of repairs online for every car you own. I have 2 cars with over 200,000 miles on them and they still run great and Jeff never overcharges me like other shops would. He is a truly honest mechanic which is hard to find these days. read more

Great honest shop! Always forthright and timely. Recommend highly! Jeff always explains what's going on and recommends any future repairs to avoid any unpleasant surprises. read more

This is most definitely my favorite auto shop. I've dropped in on more than one occasion with a concern or problem with my old Honda. Dwayne and Sal took care of the issue or scheduled repair as soon as possible. They're extremely courteous and very fair in their pricing. If you want no nonsense repair then you need to go to Solvang Auto Repair. read more

Took my car in for a repair on the door. They'd been in Solvang a long time, so I trusted them when they quoted me half price of what the other dealer wanted. When I picked up the car, I noticed that the "door ajar" light was on. He said it would "go away". It didn't. The inside door panel wasn't put on correctly either. Flapping in the breeze. He said that somebody before him broke it. It wasn't like that at all when I took the car into them. The mechanic had a sheepish look on his face, the kind that kids get on their faces when they know they've done something wrong but won't admit it. He said to bring it back later and he would take the door off again and look at it (it was late in the afternoon and he wanted to go home.) Two months later and the door handle is really falling apart now. I called to tell them and Lunde himself told me I was a liar. His mechanic had remembered it and said that somebody else broke it. He said he didn't trust me. Trust me? I just wanted my door handle to work. He told me to go to the dealer and have it fixed. He refused to back up his work. NEVER use this auto repair shop. They are part of the problem why people don't trust auto mechanics! read more

I do not know much of anything about cars, so when my truck started making a terrible sound whenever I turned the wheel, they could have told me it was anything I would not have known the difference, but they said it was just a piece of plastic that came loose and was rubbing the tire. They didn't even charge me to take it off! Very polite also. read more

We always get great service at Lunde. This week took in our truck, that started to run rough, and Jeff and crew were able to diagnose the problem right away. Didn't have a way to get over there to pick up the truck, so Jeff came and got me! Plus One Service is their motto! Thank you! read more

Fabulous service, had problem with truck down at the lake you got me in by 930 and had the problem fixed by 130, excellent service !!!!!

Manny took care of us quickly and at a very responsible cost. I wish mechanics in Vegas were as fast and honest as these guys.

These guys are AMAZING!!! I was headed down to an RV resort in Buellton with my family and my truck started missing and losing power. As we were arriving at about 3:30 PM in Buellton, my wife started frantically calling mechanics in the area to try and find one open on Saturday. After about 6 calls, someone recommended Solvang Auto Repair. My wife called and spoke with Dwayne. He said he was closing in an hour, but told us he would stay a little late to see if parts are needed. Dwayne was very friendly and professional. He immediately had an idea of what the problem might be. I left the truck there crossing my fingers. A few hours later we get a text that the truck repairs are complete, and the bill was WAY less than I prepared myself for. What a relief, there is no way I would have made it up the Cuesta Grade with my truck and trailer if it wasn't for Solvang Auto. The next morning when I arrived to pick up the truck, I found that my truck was safely stored in the locked bay because he was concerned about what I had in the back of my truck. What service! Everything about my experience was top notch. Wished I lived closer to Solvang, mechanics get no better than this. Thank you read more

Since moving to Solvang a couple years ago, I've begun driving on the beach regularly, which has opened up a world of interesting little problems for my 4x4 truck. I had been taking my truck to the Toyota factory, which was fine enough for normal maintenance, but they seemed to have no idea what was wrong with this constant rumbling sound near my right front tire. I took it to about 4 different maintenance visits, they tried a bunch of different things (rotate tires, align, etc.), but nothing really solved it. I had been to Lunde's once for a smog, and was happy with the service. So, I was next door getting my hair cut, and thought I'd at least ask them. Jeff, the owner, stopped what he was doing and got in the truck with me for a drive. Within 10 seconds, he's like, "It's the bearing." All that extra work and time at Toyota and they couldn't figure out what took him 10 seconds to diagnose. Shortly after that, I had to have some body work done on my fender, and when I was in with the body shop guys,I asked them if they had an idea what this squeaking sound was. The owner thought it might be something catalytic converter related, and told me to go to this other mechanic. I went there, was met by a guy who was nice enough but swore incessantly, and he told me it probably was the catalytic converter and I needed to schedule a bunch of time to not have the truck and prepare to part ways with $1,000 - $2,000. Since my previous experience was so good, I took it to Jeff for a second opinion. I pulled up, and he again stopped what he was doing to take a look at my truck. He got under it, and within about 30 seconds was replicating the squeaking sound. He's like, "Oh no, it's just the box that holds it" - or something to that degree. He fixed it right there on the spot, for a grand total of about 30 minutes of time and $30 if memory serves me correctly. From that point on, Lunde's has been my full-time mechanic for everything. As you probably have gathered, Jeff is a really nice, easygoing guy, as are his two co-workers. He's always got a moment to talk to you, and even though they always seem busy I always got an appointment very quickly. Coming from a big city, any sort of personal service is an improvement from your typical large dealership, but I can tell you that Lunde's is more than just your typical small town mechanic. They do VERY good work, offer very decent prices, and are simply the most HONEST and easy-to-talk-to mechanics I've ever dealt with. For example, there was a case where I was having a steering issue. It was a complicated problem that required a bit of narrowing down to find out what was really wrong. In other words, it wasn't an obvious problem; it was sort of "it has to be one of these three things" type of problem. So Jeff began work on the most likely of the three causes, but it ended up being something else. So, as any good person involved in customer service should do, he didn't charge me for the work he did on the initial diagnosis, and then immediately got to work to fix the problem properly, which he promptly did. I haven't know him long, and I basically only see him during mechanic visits (which, due to my beach driving, is more often that I'd prefer), but I can honestly say I feel I've made friends with Jeff and his crew already. They're just nice guys to talk to, and I couldn't recommend a mechanic more highly. Feel free to contact me directly if you want more info. But I guarantee you that you'll get an honest, fair, and hard working crew working on your car if you take it to Lunde's. read more

It's rare that you find an auto repair shop that puts the customer before the profit. They had my car for 2 days up and down on the lift, diagnosed the problem, and wouldn't take any money for it. I would go back in a heartbeat and cannot recommend these guys enough. read more
