They gave me about $100 above KBB (14.6k). Brought me in for nothing! But I will say I have to thank Kieran, the acquisition manager. He really pushed me to explore my EchoPark offer at 16.6k! I made the 1 hour drive to Calabasas and I walked out of the door with 17.1k. Thank you Kieran & shoutout EchoPark.

Today we met the General Manager of Toyota of Santa Barbara, Cami Perez…read more We had just gone there to get some technical help with our new car. She personally came over to us introduced herself and asked how she could help resolve our issue. We went to the service area which she accompanied us to and made sure we were personally taken care of. Then, she offered us a complimentary car wash. We were totally flabbergasted. How nice, how accommodating. You don't see this type of service every day. Thank you Cami for making our visit to your dealership such a rewarding experience. We recommend everyone who is looking to buy a new or used Toyota to go visit Santa Barbara Toyota. You will never be sorry and will be completely satisfied with your 5 star experience.

John's expert eye in spotting a failing turbocharger bearing very likely spared me from destroying my entire engine. Whew! Thank you John. And they also skillfully troubleshot and resolved some tricky issues with my wife's trusty Audi SQ5. I trust these guys completely. And being an ex-racer myself I can tell you that John's motorsports experience... where he excelled at the highest national level... equips him with near savant-like troubleshooting wisdom. He's seen it all.

Great work at a reasonable price. I made the appointment the day before. Hector seemed a bit gruff…read moreand bothered at first, but warmed up to become a very knowledgeable and kind Service Advisor. As promised, my wife's 4Runner was aligned correctly within 1 hour.

Highly recommend Stay tuned for an update on the old truck.

I found out about their shop on an app called Twism. So in order for the advertising to even be on…read moreTwism the owners of the businesses have to agree. Anyway they were listed I clicked it said oil change is $74.99 right above it there were coupons. I click the one that says save $20 and boy it's a good thing I called because then I was told by the owner that they don't use Twism but not only that they are charging a ridiculous price of $130. Who charges $130 to change oil 5 quarts oil that you could get literally any automobile store for under $40. I don't know how this shop stays in business they're not truthful and they're taking advantage of the good citizens in SB.

He took a look, confirmed the leak, and let me keep the vehicle at the front of the driveway while I waited for a tow truck to come take the car to the dealership in Oxnard.

They had me drop my car the same day and come back in a couple hours later. Before doing any work they informed me that I had multiple recalls on my car and one of the recalls should require Kia to fix the issue for me. They did not charge me and offered me the information I needed to go to Kia. Fast forward Kia had a recall that was causing hundreds of thousands of car engines to blow up. Kia had to replace my engine at no cost besides new fitting parts. Thank you Powell Garage for your honesty and transparency into what you would recommend without charging me for things I may not need. They did not even charging me for this diagnostic, which after reading other reviews on mechanics in SB they most certainly would have. I will be a long time customer of Powell Garage and recommending anyone who needs a mechanic to go to Powell Garage.

EZ Automotive is the shop you've been looking for!…read more I've been bringing my 2011 Hyundai Elantra to John and his incredible team at EZ Automotive for years, and I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else. When I was first searching for a mechanic, I combed through reviews looking for honesty, skill, and real customer care. When I found John, I immediately felt I was in the right place, and every visit since then has confirmed it. John is the kind of mechanic everyone hopes to find: honest, thorough, and patient. He always takes the time to explain what's going on in clear terms, and he works with me to prioritize the most critical repairs while being sensitive to my budget. That level of respect and transparency is rare. On my most recent visit, I thought something might be wrong with my car. The team called me in quickly, and when I couldn't make it, they even followed up a week later to remind me. They test drove my car, checked everything thoroughly, and added a fuel cleaner at no charge just to make sure things were running smoothly. Whenever something doesn't feel right, they go above and beyond to identify, diagnose, and resolve the issue. It's not just John. Tiara in the front office is always professional, kind, and makes scheduling simple. She makes you feel welcome the second you walk through the door. Together, they've created a shop where you know you're in good hands and that they genuinely care about their customers. What really stands out to me is that John and Tiara feel like family. You can tell just by talking to them that they both have strong family values, and that means a great deal to me. It says so much about the kind of people they are, and it shows in the way they treat their customers. If you want a shop that combines honesty, expertise, and genuine customer care, look no further. EZ Automotive has given me complete peace of mind about my car, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a mechanic they can trust for the long haul.
