I was recommended by family that have taken their cars here and they said its always good and honest work. I went in with an issue that I was having with my car randomly shutting off on me. They were very thorough on the phone with me with the diagnostic after I had dropped it off and letting me know what needed to get fixed and giving me pricing info. Job was done same day. Great customer service. Highly recommend! read more

We started having issues with our muffler on our way down to LA. I did a random search and found this shop! Long story short, they helped us get back and running in less than 2 hours which is such a blessing since we had littles traveling with us. These guys are amazing, so kind and we're very thankful! read more

I have been using this place for a few years now and have had nothing but problems, Irwin always overcharges me by at least 30%, And the work is never done right, always have to come back to rework. He never tries to save you money, and charges you the maximum while finding excuses to do more work to get more money. This guy has ripped me off for the last time, I would avoid this guy altogether, You could not even pay me to have my car worked on by him anymore. I'm done with this place, Too bad we have only a select few places in Patterson, better off to take your car anyone else. Dishonest, Avoid! read more

I was driving from California to Nevada when my car broke down near Patterson. I managed to get it to the nearest garage, which was Mechanics Express and Imports. Despite showing up without notice on a Saturday to a garage full of cars being repaired, the staff immediately began work on my car. While I was initially stressing about extended repairs, maybe having to get a hotel and rental car to complete my journey, the staff was aggressively working to get the car back on the road ASAP. It took several hours in blistering heat, but they identified and repaired the issues, and got me safely back on the road to my final destination. Through it all, they were professional, kind, empathetic and efficient. Oh, and it ended up being much less expensive than I would have paid at my final destination. My hat's off to the great team at Mechanics Express and Imports! read more

I was insearch of a quote for my wife's truck. I called around town (Patterson) I spoke to 4 to 5 places, and mechanics Express was the only one that gave me a quote. There's customer service was awesome, I even spoke to a mechanic which is the main man at the shop. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and answered all my questions! I took my truck there (F150), they were even nicer in person. Once the job was done I notice it was a family business, daughter son, dad and etc. I spoke to all of them, there such nice people, and for now on, I'll be taking all my vehicles there when needed. I highly recommend this place. If your looking for value, knowledgeable people, friendly, and fast service at a great price. Give them a call, I know i will. Satisfied customer! read more

I take all my cars here. Irwin and his team are very honest. High quality technicians.

I would not go there again even if was paid to do so. We were on a road trip with my wife and 5 year old when the engine started overheating. I stopped, checked and the coolant was almost entirely empty. Instead of just driving to the closest Love's (5min away) and adding coolant I added tap water, then drove to Love's and bought 3 bottles of coolant. Then I realized that I'd rather have a pro mechanic do the flush and add the coolant, just in case. Saw that this shop had great reviews and got there. Explained the situation and the rest you can find below: Communication: 0 out of 5: They told me they would call me in 1hr. They did not. I Called them in 1h10m and asked for info. No news and did not tell me when they would call back. Then 2h30m after I dropped off the car I called again and they told me that the car will be ready in 20min. Sticking to the deal: 0 out of 5: when I got to the shop they had already added their own coolant and they did not use the coolant I had bought from Love's. I specifically told them twice that I had coolant and they told me that once they figure out if there is a leak they will call me (which they never did -- see above) and then we can discuss which coolant to add Honestly: 0 out of 5: Once I got to the shop they told me that they did not find a leak. So I asked how come the coolant was gone. They told me that sometimes if the radiator cap is not good the coolant escapes from there. So they had ordered a "good" cap which they are waiting for now. Yes, that was 3hours after drop-off!!!!! Guy calls supposedly the spare parts dealer to see where the part is. Then turns to his kid, tells him in Spanish (so I wouldn't understand) to go across the street and get a cap from somewhere (I could not catch the last bit, as my Spanish is rusty). Sure enough, the kid immediately walks away and 2min later comes with a brand new cap in his hands. Price: 1 out of 5: I had to spend $280 for a leak test (that at this point I am not sure it even happened) and coolant that I did not ask for (I told them I had bought coolant myself and that it is in the trunk twice) Summary: Took too long, zero communication, felt I was getting f@cked with. Will NEVER go again to that shop. I challenge them to contest my points one by one. Such bullcrap experience.... read more

Took my truck that has 120k miles in about a month ago and told them what the issue was (misfiring in the 5th cylinder) and he told me he needed to diagnose it himself and it would be $175. He called me back within a day and told me that there was no compression in the 5th cylinder which I figured. He told me it would be about $4100 in repairs including labor but couldn't tell me for what exactly, and when I went to pick my truck up he handed me the diagnostic paperwork and I seen that he put that my truck has over 200k miles but in reality it had barely hit 120k. I couldn't believe my eyes and now I couldn't believe anything he told me about my truck. I took it to another shop in town and they diagnosed it themselves and told me the repairs would be around $1500... that's way better than $4100. Don't waste your time coming here I would never ever recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

Irwing was wonderful to work with. We were passing through when we ran into car trouble. He was patient and very knowledgeable. He fit in what he could for us to be able to get home. Really appreciate the help. read more

Do not go here! I scheduled my Maserati to get my brakes done. They said the parts were going to be in on Wednesday. I made an appointment for the following Monday. Got there at 9:30 and waited until 2 o'clock only to find out the parts weren't in. They gave me a bs excuse about they ordered the wrong parts etc etc. offered a mini van for a rental but wanted me to pay $40 a day. Yea no thank you. I said when the parts come in, call me and I'll bring it back. Waited a week didn't hear from them, so I called back. They said the parts came but they sent them back. What sense does that make. Yea I'll never return to this place and I recommend anyone looking for a reliable mechanic to not do business with them either. read more

Ok, I took my truck in because I had a bad o2 sensor I couldn't reach to take out myself. I also needed my Ebrake looked at as it was not fully engaging. I brought it in, let them know the problems, and told them the trouble code that was coming up. They looked at the o2 sensor, didn't even touch it, gave me some BS story about my needing all new exhaust components that would cost 3k, and I want to be sure that you understand THEY DID NOT EVEN TOUCH THE O2 SENSOR THAT WAS BAD!! They charged me almost 200 dollars for a diagnostic, that was literally them putting a scanner on the truck, which I already did, pulling some codes from the ecu. I told them the o2 sensor that was bad. They did look at my brakes, but they charged me an additional fee. So, to sum it up, they charged me for a diagnostic that did not diagnose anything. They charged an extra fee to look at the brakes. I left there 200 dollars poorer, with no benefit whatsoever. I took my truck to another shop that replaced the both cat converters, the muffler, the exhaust pipe, and they removed the o2 sensor that was bad for $850. I feel like I have been taken advantage of and I would like the diagnostic fee back. I think it is fair to pay for the brake inspection as they actually did that. read more

I do not typically leave reviews but I had to come leave one on this one .This shop is amazing the people here are great.Irwin is running a great shop.

The work on my car was done before the time that they gave me .Plus they give very reasonable prices . Anything car related this is definitely the place to go ! read more

I was on a work trip driving up to Sonoma, CA when our car began to overheat. It would have been DETRIMENTAL to not arrive on time, so our crew was very worried there may be a problem too big to fix considering it was 4:30pm on a Saturday and most places were closed or closing... and we were in the middle of no where. So I got on Yelp and called as many mechanics as I could. This shop was the only one to answer and no only did they assess the problem, fix it, top off our liquids and get us back on the road, they ALSO stayed up an hour later than their normal closing time and charged us an extremely reasonable rate. Luckily, the radiator wasn't busted, so it didn't take very long to test the pressure and get us driving, but we're not mechanics. They were honest and helpful and I'd return if I was local to the area. Two thumbs up for these guys. read more

Had a post Holiday emergency with my car, found this place on Yelp and was so glad I came here! Fast, honest, nice people! They got me in the road fast! I was so relieved!!! read more

Broke down in the middle of nowhere on the way home from northern California to So Cal. He was able to repair my car enough to get me home without having to spend the night. He could have done more repairs (and made more money) but he had my best interest at heart and recommended I get it done in my hometown so I could still have the warranty coverage. Also was nice enough to give me a ride to the local Starbucks while I waited. Thank you Irwing! I only wish this shop was in my hometown. read more

we had a water pump go out while traveling and they were super quick to get us in. Good communication while figuring it out, super friendly service. they worked really hard to get us back on the road in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend them. read more

The guys and gal at Mechanics Express have the best customer service in the Newman, Patterson, and Gustine area. My car's check engine light was being difficult with being diagnosed. After a few day I was called to pick up my car. On my way home, the check engine light came on again. A little frustrated, I called back to ask what happened. With no hesitation they told me to bring it back. Even though it took a weeks, I got a call each of those weeks with an update of their progress. Once they were done, I got a full explanation as to what was wrong with my car. I am very pleased with Mechanics Express and would 100% recommend this business for all of your auto repair needs!!!! read more

Good place to go to for repair/ replacing parts / or inspection estimates for replacement parts. I recommend

Excellent customer service. My daughters car broke down on HWY 5 - about 2 hr away from our home. Had to rush there after tow truck took the car to this shop. Very prompt service... he gave multiple options on how to proceed. Honest, professional and to the point! It's rare to find mechanics with these characteristics & qualities. Thank you Irwing Carrasco! read more

Great customer service I would refer anyone who needs a oil change here. Went above & beyond with the service.

Irwing is very helpful, patient and has a very good customer skills. Charges are reasonable and he's very knowledgeable on his auto repairs. read more

I have been trying for two hours to leave a wonderful review of Irwing's shop and I will now try again What a blessing for me to have been referred to his shop by some VERY SATISFIED customers several months ago Last week I brought my car to him and he was so professional and kind, he even took me home and picked me up when the car was done Irwing and his crew did a fantastic job, making sure the vehicle was working properly before returning it to me....his concern for our safety is awesome On Saturday my other car had some problems and he was kind enough to get it in to the shop yesterday and he fixed it perfectly and I got it back today In my opinion Irwing's shop is the best..... I told my neighbors about his place, gave them his business card and now they have their Honda over there for some repairs They will be happy with his work..... read more

My son's car broke down on the way to LA from the Bay Area, and we ended up at Mechanics Express and Import Repair. We were lucky to find them! Irwing and his team fixed the car expertly. And best of all, the final price tag for the repairs was very reasonable. If I lived in the Paterson area I'd always bring my car here for any repairs. Thanks for taking such good care of us! read more

Car broke down on HWY 5-N late at night just north of Patterson- apparently the belt decided to break & I rode a few extra miles before skidding off to the side of road - luckily no crash; tow truck was called by police that were nice enough to actually stop - car was dropped off around 2-3am and the shop began diagnosing the issue first thing/ they were up front, honest, highly detailed in finding other small issues in my car but not being pushy to make those repairs right away; we added a synthetic oil change, diagnostic test and the labor for the belt- all in all very excellent customer service, competitive pricing and actually making a horrible situation of breaking down overnight into a very pleasurable & professional experience! I would highly recommend this shop not only for people broke down but for everyday maintence and repairs. Not many like this left out there! Thanks to everyone at Mechanics Express in Patterson! read more

Our car battery was having problems on a road trip. We could get it started, but needed jumps every time we stopped. We were headed through Patterson, and called ahead to Mechanics Express to see if they could take a look. The super awesome folks ordered parts ahead of us arriving, took care of us right away, and swapped out the battery super fast. Car works great and service was perfect and extremely friendly. We were back on the road in no time! Just a great shop! read more

I have a 2007 SAAB AERO, this car was given to my daughter as a graduation present from my sister in law. The car had issues with engine shaking and I honestly I thought the car was done! Because of the high mileage. After the diagnostic of the engine the mechanic was able to find the problem quick and also able to fix it no problem! I really recommend this shop if you have an European car. read more

These guys helped me out in a tight spot. Can't thank them enough. If you live in town or you car happens to breakdown nearby, these are the guys! read more

horrible ripoff service. held car hostage for days. refused to let it go so that he could do the work. charged three times what the mercedes dealer charged. filed a complaint with the bureau of automotive repairs. don't believe the other reviews. probable self made or people were bribed to put them there. read more

They replaced my knock sensors on my 2004 chevy2500, honest, good ,fast ,finally found a god auto repair shop in town, be taking my cars there from now on read more

I was excited to hear Mechanics Express and Import works on Motorcycles as it is difficult to find good bike mechanics who do not rip you off. My previous go-to guy ended up buying a dealership so his prices are now dealership rip-off prices. I called and set an appointment for Saturday to bring my bike in which went well, as I dropped the bike off Friday evening the owner asked what service was needed. I mentioned replace tires (which I provided), oil change and check the brakes. No estimate was given... (my fault, should have asked for one). I was asked if I needed it completed Saturday. I said no as I wasn't in a hurry to get it back. On Monday afternoon I haven't heard from them so I called to see what the condition of the brake-pads and if they will need to be replaced. the response was, oh we will start to work on that this afternoon. the following day Tuesday I received a call saying it was done except for the brakes and the rear will be needing to be replaced. the total cost would be a few bucks short of $300. I agreed to have the rear brakes replaced and I would pick up Wednesday after work. So Wednesday I go to pick up the bike and he gives me the total (which is what he told me on the phone) I asked for a breakdown and he rattled off some numbers. I paid full amount and rushed to get home as it was a slight rain. Once I got home, I noticed the Oil Change was not listed on the receipt, so I gave him a quick call to ask if it was done and he said "oh! did you want the oil changed?" I responded and said that was part of the request. Later that evening I took the bike out for a ride (rain stopped) and the back breaks were very noisy, and the breaks were gripping hard. My diagnosis is the calipers were not opened fully when pads were put on, so the brakes are gripping the rotor and the brakes are tight without appling the lever. by now the shop was closed so I can not go by to show. I will run the bike a bit to see if they loosen up before going out of my way to show him the issue this weekend. Please be aware of this place and make sure you get an estimate of work before leaving your vehicle. read more

Great experience! Requested a quote and made a quick appointment. I pulled up to my appointment and noticed they had a bunch of cars getting worked on so i expected to wait longer than i initially expected. Nonetheless, they worked on my car right away and i was driving back to my house within an hour. Would definitely come back. read more

Best mechanic in town! Irwin truly takes care of his clients and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. If you're looking for quick, quality service for an affordable price go to Mechanics Express! read more

Screw this sorry place. My boyfriend took his car here for one problem it was returned and we paid $800 bucks for it. Not even 24 hours later the car cuts off will driving and he has to pull off to the side of the road. After multiple attempts it starts back up and he is able to get it home. He returns the car back to the shop. Monday they have the car Tuesday my boyfriend calls and checks on it and whomever answers the phone tells him the owner will call him... Thursday he calls and the woman apologize says she's been out for 2 days and again the owner will call... Mt boyfriend called all day today with no answer. I finally had enough and drove us down there to claim the car. The mechanic that was there called the owner/brother and handed my boyfriend the phone. The owner being put on speaker with every excuse about what was going on with the car. My issue is you take the money dont fix the problem or I'm sorry say you fix the problem all to have another problem that wasn't your fault . Then the lack of communication. Moat people need their vehicle to get yo work so communicating how long you'll have their car would help. But the experience here was unprofessional and down right inconsiderate, rude and a scam! Find somewhere else to take your car. read more

My 17 y. o. son's car broke down and started leaking a lot of gas in Wesley outside Patterson. AAA would not tow it due to the gas leak. We live about two hours away and I wasn't sure what to do. I called this shop and Irwin answered. He was a lifesaver! He went way above and beyond for us - Irwin arranged a tow, diagnosed the problem, ordered a part for the next day, drove my son and his girlfriend to a place they could stay, picked them up the next day, finished the repair and got them on the road. Patterson is lucky to have this guy! He is not only an excellent mechanic but genuinely kind. Take your business here. You won't be sorry. read more

This shop saved my trip. I was driving down the 5 towards my SoCal beach vacation when my car started to shake, make noise and threaten to fall apart. I pulled off the next exit, parked asap and used Yelp to find the only mechanic still open at the time. They offered to stay late so I could get my car to the shop, offered to help me find a place to stay in town, and even lent me a bike to get back to my hotel. The work was done as quick as they could get the parts and they did not over-charge me even though they were my only option. They turned a possible nightmare into a minor bump in the road and a funny story (in hindsight). Thanks for the great work, highly recommended! read more
