100% transparent. Didn't upsell me nor force me to do anything I didn't want or unnecessarily need. I came in and they gave me their honest take on what my vehicle could possibly need. If I decide to get work done, it more than likely will be here. Thank you for your help! read more

Juan saved us thousands!!! After being quoted over $10,000 repair and advised replacing the engine twice by 2 repair shops with "high" ratings in yelp, I looked for Juan who used to work with our old cars a long time ago. We know he is honest, and skilled, a master at problem solving and has deep technical knowledge and hoped he still works after all these years, and indeed he runs this shop! Make story short , $400 later, our car is running well, and does not need a new engine like we were made to believe! All it needed was an honest and very skilled mechanic with years of experience! We are grateful for Juan! For sure, we will continue to come to him for our car needs. read more

Juan is a good guy, but his staff are unprofessional. Sorry Juan, I was not going to write a review after you took care of it, but that crazy lady who works for you wanted to be a you know what. I got a car battery from MSJ with warranty. Juan taped the AutoZone receipt to the battery so I could use the warranty. 18 months later the battery dies so I call to use the warranty and the lady who answers the phone screams at me that they won't authorize and hung up on me 5 times. They told me to bring the car in. I said I live 300 miles away. They mockingly said I should buy a new battery, drive my car 300 miles, and they will give me the replacement. NEWS FLASH IDIOTS: that's breach of contract and saying that gave me standing the sue the **** out of you. Yes the staff there are actually this f***ing dumb and they think they're smart LOLLLLLLLLLL. So I sent a demand letter telling them I'm about to sue the **** out of them. Juan calls me 3 days later and apologizes, says she doesn't know how to run an office, and authorizes the battery replacement. Everything was fine, but 3 and a half weeks later this dumb lady answers the demand letter with "Good luck with that". Just look at the screenshot. She didn't even know the issue was settled and she has zero emotional regulation or thinking ability. So in conclusion Juan is a real man, but if the lady picks up the phone just tell them you're gonna sue the **** out of them. read more

MSJ Auto Services - Auto Repair Near Me - Camarillo, California

Did not find them reliable brought my vehicle in for a transmission and the service was very disappointing as they kept my car for weeks and weeks. They just seem too busy. My transmission still skips. read more

These guys put oil on my drum brake hydraulic cylinder trying to convince me I needed new brakes. (leaking they said) I just told them it had to wait because I didn't have the money. Brake level never went down and never did fail. This was quite a few years ago but I saw them again and remembered to leave a review. Did okay work. read more

Lifesavers at MSJ Auto Service! What a fantastic experience at MSJ Auto Service! My work truck's rear brake malfunctioned on the way to a job, and MSJ quickly assessed the issue, ordered parts, and went above and beyond by loaning me a car. I dropped off my materials at the job site, and they even delivered my fixed truck to the site, saving me time and money. Their exceptional customer care makes me wish they were closer to Santa Clarita for all our vehicle needs. Highly recommend! read more

Very pleased and impressed. They were recommended from my next-door neighbor app and I'm so glad I called them. Both Mike and Juan are super nice guys, they took a look at my car analyzed It gave me a quote completed the work in the afternoon, and everything was perfect. I had taken my car to the dealership service department prior to going there, and the quote they gave me was so out of line and outrageous, I think they should be ashamed of themselves. I highly recommend MSJ automotive. read more

Very nice people and accommodating. They take care of my tire issue right away...That's all I can say... Salamat at Mabuhay!

Juan was honest and didn't overcharge me when I came in for new rotors. I called the day before for a quote and was able to come in the next morning to get it done. Was there for about an hour and 20 minutes and my car was ready to go. Would highly recommend and will be coming back! read more

Friendly service and they will get you in and out quickly. They even have a night shift!

They were fair in price and quick great service very impressed. I would recommend this place as highly recommended.

This is truly the best mechanic ever. Honest and truthful. He's not after your money; just wants to help. We're so happy we found our mechanic. Grateful to the owner. read more

I brought my van to Mike after a crash, and the quotes I got from others were $2400- $7000. Mike took care of it for $1200 and I've had no trouble 6 months later. Mike also checked out my suspension after someone else replaced it, pointed out that it wasn't what I paid for, and I got it replaced because of that. Friendly, fast, reliable, and affordable! read more

Me and my aunt who was visiting came in for an oil change(we were referred from autozone) the staff are friendly however the lobby has a lot of loose floorboards, an ant infestation, and ants on the coffee station. And the owners motorcycles take up a lot of space and make it seem like a cramped bike dealership. I would say drop off your car and walk to old town instead of sticking around. read more

Mike and Juan at MSJ will always take care of your car. Very honest and dependable. No fluff or BS upsales. I have been going to MSJ since Brat Motors closed. I highly recommend MSJ for your Automotive maintenance needs. Clean lobby with coffee and friendly smiles. read more

I cannot say enough about how professional and helpful Mike was at MSJ. He showed me exactly what was wrong with my car and explained in detail how he was going to fix it. He then showed me the exact costs associated with the repair which were very reasonable and demonstrably honest. He is a great guy and very easy to work with. I plan to take all my cars there for futrue servicing. read more

This business is not professional nor do they communicate. The outcome ending with me towing it to my original mechanic that was finally available. Received my car back with scratches and dirt in And outside the car. My personal mechanic had it running with in the hour of taking Possession. All in all a horrible experience from MSJ, wouldn't recommend To anyone. read more

Late review for service in April 2024: While heading out to Wheeler Gorge in our older Class C RV, one of the front brake rotors locked up on 101 and was pulling hard to the right. Fortunately, MSJ was right off the next freeway exit and I was able to limp it into the parking lot. Juan was helpful and kind, getting us into the shop in about an hour to evaluate while we unloaded and switched to an alternate vehicle. I left the RV overnight and they had the front calipers, hoses, and brake pads replaced by the next morning. Parts pricing was fair and shop labor rates reasonable. I also came back a month later with a minor vibration concern and Juan took the time to take me for a check test ride and explain that it was a non issue. Made it to Yosemite and back this summer with no issues. I would not hesitate to bring any of my vehicles back in for future service with Juan and MSJ. Thanks! read more

Can't go wrong with these guys! VW was towed to VW of Ventura with an estimate of $2835.19 plus a wait of 5-7 days with no rental offer. Mike @MSJ fixed for $232 in one day. She riding smooth now!! read more

I just visited the shop and I was beyond impressed. They showed concern for my vehicle issue and addressed it promptly. Juan and Mike at the front desk, provided unbelievable customer service. I highly recommend this shop. They really helped me and it's nice to see such helpful mechanics. read more

Great auto shop with awesome mechanics. I've taken my car here a couple times already and each time I was very happy with the work. The guys here are friendly and SO honest and trustworthy. seriously, they show me the new parts and their invoices before installing it and explain everything they are doing so I know they're not over charging. I needed major work done and a few new parts, and they charged me a fraction of what the dealer said they were going to charge me. My car is running great and I've had zero issues since coming here. While sitting in the waiting room I heard that people come all the way from la to take their cars here! They do such good work, I sure believe it! I recommend this place 100% read more

I took my car in for head gasket when they were located on Port Hueneme Rd., When I went to pick up my 84 corvette, I thought they were washing it before I picked it up, turns out it caught on fire. They kept my car for TWO YEARS getting it fixed. Finally, after they got it running again, I went and picked it up because I got tired of waiting for them to get it done. Got it home and blower motor not working took apart and found dry chemical residue from two years prior when it caught on fire still there. They replaced some parts with used parts and never cleaned them. The carpets were all grease, and they broke the fiberglass flooring on the passenger side because they didn't jack it up right. Plus other numerous problems so if you have a vintage car do not bring it to this shop. I have spent almost $800.00 to fix what they messed up. I did not pay them for the original job because I was so fed up with them destroying my custom paint job etc. I don't know why the review came up as San Francisco I live in Port Hueneme,CA read more

The alternator Juan/Mike installed was not done properly. I broke down on the side of the road. Fast forward a couple months later, we're trying to get the warranty PIN number on the part that we paid for. They are not responsive on the phone, and won't give us the information. So we have paid for their labor, and TWO Alternators now bringing our 500$ bill to 650$ all within a 6 month timeline. I will delete this review if they at least give us our warranty information but as long as this review is up, they are not being responsive. read more

Paid over $300 for labor alone, and $200+ for parts. I'd be fine with that except my vehicle broke down less than an hour drive after and I had to go to another mechanic just for them to tell me that the mechanics here did a horrible job, and the parts they ordered were now ineffective. The new mechanic we are now at was so confused if we went to a real mechanic or not. Mike and Juan aren't responsive to phone calls, and I suspect they know they messed up and let me drive with it. When they did pick up, they sent me a "warranty phone number", which was a phone number to a random survey. This is a sleazy company, who tries to milk your money. Mike has been rejecting our calls and it's most likely due to the fact that he knows he messed our car up and milked us for 500$. read more

Brought my truck in the middle of the heatwave for ac problems. They diagnosed my vehicle and fixed it at a great price all within 4 hours. I needed a blanket for the ride home it was so cold. These guys are my new mechanic. read more

You can tell mike loves what he does! Highly satisfied with Juan's work on my truck. Affordable pricing and great customer service. Won't be taking my cars to any other place. read more

I came here after reading the reviews on Yelp and I'm glad I did! My car had failed a smog check; and I needed a repair done. Called and made an appointment and from the first call I felt comfortable and trusting of this business. When I brought my car in, turns out more work was needed than originally thought, but I trusted my car was in good hands. My husband came with me to pick up the car, and they showed him the work done, he said it was a good job at a good price. My car needs more work to be done later, and I'll be coming back! read more

I went in with a brake problem and was told they were fine when in fact my rotors are warped and that all I needed was new tires. The man I was dealing with behind the counter was extremely pushy and rude. I do not recommend this business read more

Best place for car care ever ,they always take care of my car and not just that they always try to make the prices affordable. Juan is the only person that I allow to fix my car. I recommend this place 100 % read more

Im new to the area and was looking for a locally own auto service. I've only used them to change the oil on my wife and I cars. The place is clean, modern and a Keurig in the lobby with free Wifi. I noticed the classic cars in the shop. if the owner of these fine car trust this place, I can't too. Juan is the nicest guy you can meet. I'll be back to get my breaks done soon. read more

Excellent service at a good price & they finished in 1 day. We recommend them to neighbors & friends.

Mike and Juan provided knowledgeable and courteous service. They provided a quote and replaced the timing belt and water pump on my 2006 Audi Cabriolet A4 1.8L Turbo without issues and showed me old parts. The timing belt was ORIGINAL, but the w/p had been replaced with over 160,000 miles. Can't believe any service would be partial; but so glad they came through with COMPLETE service with a parts and labor guarantee. Recommend them highly and trust them for through and competent service at a reasonable price. read more

First time into visit. Clearly owner Mike & Associate Juan know there stuff. Had brakes done at a reasonable price for my Camry, and them Mike shared with me a recall for my 2004 Mercedes E320 and knew about my stalling problem. Mike gave me a tour of shop and also offered me a ride home! There is a reason why their Yelp reviews are so good! read more

I had my car not start while out driving errands. YUK! Called AAA. My starter was the problem and was frozen. AAA towed my car to MSJ auto services after calling "Juan" there and my car could be immediately repaired upon arrival. Found a broken motor mount with dead starter on my 2001 dodge stratus. I was charged $400 for fix & parts. My Friday 13th was now complete. read more
