Mastercraft Motors - Auto Repair Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I've been coming here for many years, they kept my old car running wonderfully well for over 20 years. They are always honest, and their work is excellent. I've never had a problem with any of their workmanship, and I feel like I've always been treated fairly. read more

Was having a windshield replaced and they found rust along the window frame. Our vehicle Wa taken to Mastercraft and gave me an estimate right away and was able to get it right in and took care of it in 2-3 days. Fair price, quality work, paint match was exceptional, this vehicle is 17 years old and they did a great job. read more

Five star service from start to finish. This is my second time with Mastercraft Motors & both experiences have been exceptional. Highly recommend. read more

I've taken my car to Mastercraft for several years, for many small and large issues (from an electrical outage to rebuilding the engine). They never hesitate to work on my older vehicle (1986), and they're willing to work with me instead of tell me what has to happen. And it's a AAA shop so that inspires confidence too. read more

Excellent both body and mechanical work. Been going there for years. Honest folks. Xxxxxxxxxxxx

Have brought my car here multiple times - 2009 Rav 4, and have always had a transparent and positive experience. Bringing my car in for an issue is always scary, but talking to Mario and the owner makes me feel at ease and I trust their judgement. I top of that charges are reasonable and I can't think of anything I'd change! Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a mechanic or body shop! read more

We have been going to Mastercraft Motors (a AAA-approved auto repair shop) for several years. They always do tremendous work. Mike (the owner/proprietor) & Mario (the head mechanic) do us a "solid" every time we take a vehicle to them. I cannot highly enough recommend Mastercraft Motors for your future vehicular service needs! read more

Excellent work in a very reasonable time. And a fair price. We're very good with communication skills. Explaining exactly what the problem was. And what needed to be repaired? Excellent communication skills read more

The job was simple. Replace a battery that I provided. It didn't take more than 5 minutes. The owner handled my request and charged me for a 1/4 hour @ $240.00 per hour. Instead of using his common sense and throw in a little compassion, he chose to charge me something like $64.00 for the job after I asked about a AAA discount he ' graciously' gave me a 10% discount. Not a good guy. Definitely money hungry. Not going there again. So beware. read more

They are the best mechanic shop I've been to! Highly trust worthy! And fair! I asked Mario to put new tires on and I said whatever you would put on your wife's car. It is very comforting have a car place you can trust! Thank you Mastercraft! read more

Mike and his staff was amazing . I also had other work done and he made sure my car was done on time

Hi, This is the 2nd time I have utilized MasterCraft Motors in SB for bodywork on my 2022 VW GTI. I was originally referred to Mike and his crew by a good friend of mine, who happens to be a mechanic himself. Both repairs involved damage caused by hit and run drivers while my car was parked on my street. The most recent of the two caused $30,000 in damages! Mike, my adjuster at AAA, and myself lobbied to save the car from being deemed a "total loss." One key factor about my car is that it is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, which VW no longer makes, as well as only 23,000 original miles. Mike and his crew, in 2 months time, once again restored my dream car to showroom condition. The couple of minor issues after the initial delivery date were immediately corrected to Mike's and my satisfaction. Mike Parsons is a warm and jovial person, and a pleasure to do business with. I wholeheartedly support and refer his work to anyone looking to support a "mom and pop" style shop that gets the job done right, and cares about its customers. read more

Mike and Mario are terrific. Mastercraft was recommended by another mechanic who couldn't help me, and they can do anything from replacing a moonroof on an old Chevy Suburban to taking care of a newer Lexus. Bodywork and Mechanical experts. Highly recommended. I will use them for everything. And they are nice folks! read more

Disclosure: I have been a satisfied customer of Santa Barbara Mastercraft Motors for more years than I can remember so I am very biased in favor of Mike Parson's Mastercraft Motors. Currently we own three vehicles, all three of which are exclusively serviced here and now a fourth vehicle which belongs to a family member who is unable to properly take care of his vehicle is being Serviced (and many repairs) at Mastercraft. You will be treated with respect and will receive honest and competent service here! And when I say competent, I mean these folks will work tirelessly to find a "problem" that is not obvious and if it can be solved with a minimal amount of work, then this is what will be charged. No overcharging for unnecessary work. I am pretty darn sure, close to positive, that if you try Mastercraft Motors it will become your "go to" vehicle service provider! David read more

Mike and Mario are very friendly and caring and did a great job helping me through this difficult situation.

Mastercraft Motors has been my go-to mechanic and auto advisers for almost 20 years. From simple to major repairs, car-buying advice, and bodywork estimates, I know that I can rely on them to get the work done and steer me in the right direction on all other auto-related matters I have. read more

Great service nice folks! I would recommend highly. Thanks for the service. Would recommend

My jeep decided to die on me and once we towed it to Mastercraft the team was able to get it up and running within the day. Everyone there was super nice, very transparent with the issues and repairs needed, and just seemed ready to help. Would recommend! read more

Mastercraft Motors always does a fantastic job. They are kind and so professional. They have worked on three of our cars (most recently my Tesla) and it is always seamless. Danny is great, make sure you ask for him but they are all super helpful. Their prices are very competitive as well. read more

Great customer service. These guys really helped me out, and fast. Special shout out to Daniel for getting me back on the road quickly and at a great price. read more

RE: 2018 Honda CR-V with damaged front wheel well trim piece. Our customer service person was Danny who was nothing less than Excellent++. He was understanding, professional and personable to us - and he was very knowledgeable of the needed repair on our car. Danny suggested several methods of approaching the repair - and left us to choose which was better (and/or more economical). The repair was done on time. Hard to find better auto service anywhere than at Mastercraft Motors. read more

Great job, good communication, was looking for a mechanic since my dealership closed, I'm glad I found them. I'll be back

I've been coming here for years and they always do great work and try to save me money. I know they spent many more hours than they billed on my last issue. A great shop that does quality work at a fair price. The front office is friendly and helpful. 10% AAA discount is a sweet bonus. read more

Always excellent service done by true professionals. They are upfront with estimates and turnaround times. read more

Big shout out to this amazing place. Thanks to Mike ( the owner) and Arron. They replaced two panels in the right front of my car and it looks amazingly wonderful. They communicate with me very well about how many days they need and how much it would costs at the first place, so there is no ' hiding extra changes' Money is reasonable. Friendly staff and if you lucky enough, you will see the beautiful friendly cute cat there. By the way, did I mention thale even washed and vacuumed my car, what a special touch. They are awesome. Highly recommended this place! read more

I have always had a great experience with Mastercraft-- when I moved here in 2020, my dad told me to take my car here. Noah took care of me at the time, and always made sure work was quality, turnaround was quick, and customer service was excellent. I recently bought a new truck on my own and wanted to vet my own mechanic (don't ask, I just wanted to own the process). I called 2 other spots and was told I needed a bunch of random stuff done, totaling in the thousands, without the mechanic seeing the vehicle. I called Mastercraft after that and was not only immediately accommodated but Mario walked me through what needed to be done to my truck with no pressure, no jargon, just understanding. He was also super transparent about pricing and even removed some stickers from the body that I had been struggling with! I will continue to bring my truck back here and recommend Mastercraft to anyone looking for work on their vehicles. Thanks a million, Mario! Car stuff can be super frustrating but you made this experience painless. :) read more

At Mastercraft Motors I bought a 2006 Chevy Equinox from Noah a few weeks ago. He said the car was completely checked out, was in perfect shape, and they had made sure it was safe. A few days later I had a brake problem with the car and I noticed a bad smell inside. I took it to another shop, put it on a lift, and saw that the heater core was leaking. This indicates it had probably blown a head gasket. We found traces of radiator stop-leak splattered all around. It was used to conceal their attempt to stop the leak problem. The cost of repairing this problem exceeds the value of the car. Noah stopped answering his phone and won't reply to texts. Don't trust Noah or buy a car from him. This is a poor judgment of the owner of Mastercraft Motors to allow Noah to sell cars through his business and cheat people. read more

got bumped into this morning, with a lot of scrapes, decided to swing by Mastercraft to see if they could do anything. They buffed out and cleaned off my car on the spot! looks brand new! highly suggest! read more

Mike has created an amazing culture at Mastercraft. It starts at the top with him and carries through to the team. As the Mechanical Service Manager, Mario is fantastic as is Danny in the front office. It is rare to find a shop that goes out of its way to provide great service at a fair price. read more

Mike Parsons runs a tight ship at Mastercraft Motors! His thoroughness and attention to detail was greatly appreciated. One of the few shops in town that does mechanical AND body work at the same location. AAA+ read more

I recently took my car in and I received some of the best customer service ! Mario explained the process answered all my questions . He has excellent communication skills he's so trustworthy some of the best customers service I've experience ! Highly recommend mastercraft motors but more specifically Mario he's a great service manager read more

Had a super weird electrical problem with my 328i BMW after replacing the battery. The car started having the same issue after it was fixed the first time and Mastercraft was able to find the real solution the second time, free of charge!! Mario from Mastercraft was able to help me out and car is now working great! read more

I was referred to MasterCraft by AAA for auto body repair. I was stunned to find out they are the ONLY auto repair shop in Santa Barbara that also provides mechanical repairs. I happened to of needed both and couldn't have been more pleased. Ask for Mike (owner) and tell him hello from me. He runs a great shop and turn around. Parker F. read more

This used to be a good place to go when Will was there. I just called and was told it was $150.00 to look at the car which didn't go towards fixing it. I was then told to take my business elsewhere, which is of course what I will do. BEWARE!!!!! read more

Massive waste of time.... Had my van towed here, then days later, was informed by phone that they hadn't looked at it, didn't want to and that maybe I should tow it somewhere else. I don't like the situation either, but I want to pay someone to get up and running again. This is NOT the place to go if time is a factor. read more

I highly recommend them, nothing but high praise for their honesty and quality workmanship. It's AAA Auto Club preferred, which speaks volume. read more

My car was hit while parked and the persons insurance has this company recommended. After showing up I was told they'd handle everything and help with the insurance in case they wouldn't cover any of the repair. They assured me the process would be easy since it was all internal with an insurance company they work with often. What a lie. After them losing my original appointment I had to wait 2 more weeks I dropped my car off only to get a phone call 2 days later that there would be an additional $1800 in work required or my car would "look like shit" . Doesn't make any sense they wouldn't include the additional work in the estimate they sent to insurance then expect the victim myself of the accident to pay the additional cost. Clearly bait and switch tactics. I would have never signed off on having my car worked on by these con artists if this was disclosed to me prior. Nothing simple or professional about this place. Save yourself the stress stay away from this shop read more

I take both my car and my boyfriend's car here for regular maintenance. The guys at MCM were so helpful! Both of our cars are hybrids, so we always worry about bringing them to mechanics, but Mike, Noah, and the team are so knowledgeable and professional that we don't worry at all. Fair estimates & we like coming here to get a second opinion on whatever the dealership quotes us. Can't recommend their service enough! read more

Once again Mastercraft has done an excellent job with my vehicle. Wil has been super helpful he also provided me with a loaner car so I didn't have to rent a car while they were working on mine. Wil did everything he could to make sure things went well and again I'm super happy with the work they have done. If you need a trustworthy mechanic Mastercraft is the place to go!!! Ask for Wil and he will make sure the job gets done... read more
