We came by here to repair our company van today. Some shops were closed after New Year's Day. Mario and all staffs are very kind and look professional. They charge reasonable price for repair and didn't try to something more that we don't need now. They are fast and call back us right after they are done. I highly recommend this shop if you are looking for Auto repair shop. read more

This past Friday, at 4 pm, my friend's 2006 Toyota hybrid's warning light came on while driving from Irvine to LA. It didn't tell you what's wrong, so we pulled off the highway, looking for a repair shop. Angels led us to Mario. It was close to closing, but he diagnosed the problem, and even found OEM parts and fixed the car that Saturday! Who does that????!!!! Mario does! read more

Very very friendly and honest people ! I talked to Junior, he was very helpful and fixed the issues with my car within the same day ! Other mechanics I've went to would take almost a week to fix the smallest problems. But I love it here. read more

My car broke down on me... after having it towed, I took it in to be serviced this morning. I was greeted very promptly and professionally. Mechanic Jr. kept me informed with exactly all parts needing to be repaired. I was able to get my car serviced and back the same day. The price was very reasonable, especially when it's an Unplanned expense. Overall I am satisfied and extremely grateful to have my car up and running again! I highly recommend this shop to anyone seeking a good honest mechanic. read more

I called in advance for a check engine light. I was nervous to find a mechanic in my area without a referral but I'm so glad I took a chance on this location. I read the reviews and thought they were worth a try. JR helped me and he was extremely honest, very transparent, and very speedy. I wasn't sold on anything I didn't need and I felt that he was very trustworthy. I highly recommend this location. I only needed a spark plug replacement but I will definitely come back for all future auto work. Highly recommend asking for JR. read more

IF YOU ARE BLACK AND OR A WOMAN STAY AWAY. Seemed like nice people fixed my breaks for 300. Told me he was going to fix my idle ( not what I went in for ) also it was free of charge and wasn't on the receipt. Keep that in mind. Next day my car wasn't starting at ALLLLL which has never happened so I had to spend and extra 300 in a recession and it was going to be around 400 if I bought the part from them. AND I COULDN'T FIGHT HIM ON THE IDLE BECAUSE IT WASNT ON RECEIPT. And his words "he ain't mess it up" FOH!! read more

This is my second time bringing my '56 Chevy for repair on a different item. I explained to the business owners son, Jr that I had to get this oil leak repaired because I was moving my truck to a friends house for storage. I live 60 miles away from his shop, he was sympathetic to my concerns, and squeezed my truck repair on his busiest short day without an appointment, and his brother Nestor did a great job repairing a nagging oil leak. This is an honorable family business, I highly recommend his shop. read more

I can not say enough good things about Jr and Nestor! I found them off of a yelp review and was a little hesitant and didn't know what to expect. What I found was the most honest and reliable mechanic since my dad. I brought my daughters 2016 Honda Civic in because the air conditioning wasn't working and they were the most inexpensive place around to recharge it. We ended up having to replace the condensers but they were so honest and reasonable it was a pleasure dealing with them. If you need anything done on your car I highly suggest bringing it here as you will not be disappointed. When I picked up my car the air was working and it was freezing cold a job well done! There is something to be said about men you are fair to woman and are also honest! I will be bringing all my cars to him from now on. Thank you both! read more

Super expensive they tried to charge me $360 for labor plus the sensor to replace a sensor that took me less than 15 minutes to change. This is why we can't trust mechanics guys please be fair and don't try to get ur pay check out of somebody for something very small read more

My dtr and I got to the shop close to 6 o'clock and Jr was so nice . He checked the car send for the brakes and fixed the brakes going over time. He explained and showed me the old parts and new parts he was putting on the car. My check engine light also was on . He checked it and will order the parts to install them but prior he said he will check the car completely tomorrow to make sure of the problem. He really took his time explained everything. He was very dedicated honest and helpful. I'm very blessed to have found this place . Thank you Jr. very much appreciated your honesty and great work . read more

The best mechanic I've ever had. I highly recommend them. I've been going to them for years and they have never let me down.

This place is great. Mario Jr was very professional and easy to work with. He worked on my bumper covers that looked really worn down, he charged a very fair price, and delivered it in 30 hours. I highly recommend them, they are a family business and I will come back any time I need body work. I saw that they also do auto repair. I wish them lots of success, I don't ever post comments on yelp, they deserve it. read more

Update 7/20/19. Came back to do a break job and once again I was amazed at the service. The shop does treat everyone like family and I have come to see this very personally. The father even asked me if I wanted to eat lunch with them since we were waiting for the parts for my car. This place is definitely recommended and I will come back for years to come. And to be honest their prices are based on honesty and integrity, meaning that they charge based on what is needed and are fair about the prices. And if the work is not up to their standard, they keep working until it's running like when it was first sold. The work they do is worth a lot more then what they actually charge. And with all that being said, their honesty and integrity brings a good name to mechanics. Thank you guys and once again God bless your families and business. read more

Amazing service, efficient and speedy. I was helped out by Jr, he was extremely kind and kept me in the loop throughout the entire repair. Great customer service and quality service. Highly recommend Mario's auto repair! read more

I needed the coilovers on my 91 miata adjusted because they were placed too low after giving my car a "makeover" elsewhere. Went to 2 other local places that said they couldn't do the job before coming here. I called and they had me head right over to check the car out. I believe it was junior who looked at my car and his brother who did the work. They got the job done in about an hour and now my car drives perfect! They have a small waiting area with a comfy couch where you can sit. Extremely reasonable price, friendly, honest and family owned. (Dad and sons) I'm planning on going back to adjust the rear coils asap. read more

Amazing service I was helped out by Jr, my radiator fans weren't working and he showed me what the problem was and fixed it for a fair price I will come back to this shop if I have any other car problems and I recommend this auto shop to anyone, great customer service! read more

This place is the definition of "family owned" business. These guys are great, friendly, very helpful and most important HONEST. I live in an area with a repair shop on every corner, but no matter where i am i will always come here.

Price was hundreds lower than expected and my car was ready on the day he told me. Thank you Mario Jr. my mechanic por vida lol read more

Really nice shop and clean. Been going there for the past 4 years. They have friendly service and very honest. Prices are really good and comparable. . I really recommend this place. read more

JR. is awesome. Not only did he find out what was wrong with my car that another mechanic couldn't or didn't want to. He also sat in the car with me and went over the digital readouts as well so I understood exactly what my car was telling us. Very professional, very detailed and I would highly recommend him to anyone I know. read more

Great service and honest mechanic. My 2007 chevy silverado 1500 had a hard 1-2 shift. Called other shops and right away wanted to rebuild transmission $3000-$4000 repair. Took it to Junior, he inspected and fixed it for $280. Found my mechanic. Thanks Junior! read more
