    Looks like I found my new Mechanic. Very communicative, very professional and knew exactly how to do the job. I need my spark plugs replaced and inquire about a sound coming from my engine. He replaced the spark plugs at my job came to me and gave me a great price. Work was completed within efficient time and let me know exactly what was wrong with my engine. Ended up being the engine lifts and I am definitely going to be getting this repaired by piñata Miata. Great work very reasonable pricing. Very knowledgeable on vehicle repair. I will be hiring them again. My vehicle was a 2011 Dodge charger RT.

    That's what I drive and do.

    Ted, one of the best people and mechanic I get to know. He's very knowledgeable and polite. He's also very friendly. He changed my spark plugs on my Lexus GX460 this time but I will definitely have him take care of all my other vehicles from now on. I will also recommend him to anyone who needs a good honest mechanic for their vehicles.

    I was recommended to bring my car to Thaer from a friend and I have been a returning customer a few times now. I took my R34 skyline here to have aircups and coilovers installed as well as my door lock actuator replaced. Throughout the few times I had my car here, Thaer was extremely professional and accomodating. I would receive updates from him throughout the job duration so I would know what part of the process my car was on. Definitely will be coming back again!

    My family and I use to come here all the time since we moved here to get our cars repaired. Just…read morerecently, I took my car in January to repair the clutch actuator in my hybrid and they took 4 months to complete the repair after trial and error. They took on a bigger project than they were qualified for, damaging a part after another, eventually replacing the hybrid battery and transmission. They always had an excuse pushing the deadline on every single inbound call. After applying daily pressure on them on a continuous basis , I finally received my car in April, however, the shop still owes me $583 for one of the car rentals they told me to purchase. I kept calling to retrieve the money but they didn't keep their word and denied paying me back. I could have easily placed a lien on the business for $583 with all the proof to retrieve my money but you know my good heart didn't follow through. Instead, writing this review will sting bigger and is the least I can do for the people. Im an easy going guy but after going through this extensive car repair, we decided to pull away from doing any future business for the wrong doing and unprofessionalism of their actions. I believe it's only right for everyone to hear about this and avoid what I went through, therefore, save yourself a headache. The owner is not a man of his word. This will bake in slowly. P.S. I also have screenshots, messages, and documents in case they want to lie and deny the truth.

    It's always a big question when you go to a mechanic... will they be honest? Will they try and work…read moreme? Is it going to break the bank? .... J's garage is honest, to the point and fair. Like any mechanic shop it's busy and there is a bit of organized chaos but I can say for J's they keep it all pretty clean and organized. I took my 2011 Honda civic sedan in and I needed a few things covered. An oil leak, my air conditioning, and my speedometer was still on but not showing how fast I've been going. J had it for about 45 min (they were busy) and he was able to run diagnostics, find the oil leak and figure out the pump was out in my car. I don't particularly like sharing number but in my research and at a Honda dealership I would have been in the hole 3k easily and 1k of that would have just been for the diagnostics. Jay was more than fair with his price and Was straight forward with the price, but it did not break the bank and when you know you have a good mechanic you don't have to question your trust in them. Needless to say my car is running perfectly, everything is fixed and not only has J's have my trust and respect they have e a loyal customer. The quality of work matches the integrity of its owner and leader J. He has his family come in and help and honestly just meeting his kids and having passive conversations with them I could say if I knew nothing about J, his kids reflect integrity, hard work, and perspective. I will keep my promise to bring yall lunch ones the school year starts and again thank you for The honest and hard work. I finally have air conditioning again after 2 years lol ... it feels great!!!!

On he last job he did for me he told me he thought someone stole my catalytic converter, and I said , I think the muffler just fell off, then he said bring it in early in the morning so he could look at it and get the parts for it, he changed me 320, and did absolutely nothing to it but slip it back on and tighten it back on which takes like 5 minutes, cause when I moved it fell off and I had to put it back on, then I took it to a muffler shop and asked if anything was replaced, they said no, it was all the original part, he is a thief. So I tried to contact him but he just ignored me, so im letting his costumers know what a fake he is and if you do business with him ask for the part boxes and your extra parts when dealing with a crook. I also let the bbb know about his business dealings Oh I caught him before to charging me for parts I didn't need, but I still lived there , and he reversed the charges, lol

I took it in to see if they could check it out. I was lucky to have spoken to Anthony. He was very kind but direct and showed me what the possible problem could be based on the age of the car, sound and fumes. But he made it clear he would need to use the lift to confirm. He was apologetic he couldn't take care of it right away due to their current workload so I took it in the next week, and in the same day it was ready for pick up. He was right, it was the part he thought but instead of a crack it was fully broken in half! Luckily, he is a welder and I didn't need to buy a new piece. It was my first time going to a mechanic in Corona so I appreciated the service received as I was anxious to find a reliable mechanic. The cost was fair and I am so appreciative it was done so quick. My car is running great again!

I was having battery issues with my 2021 Yukon Denali Diesel and needed a replacement. After calling several places, I decided to purchase a battery from Sam's Club knowing they do install as well. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was told they didn't install this type of battery because of the difficulty involved. As I was leaving, my Yukon wouldn't start, the battery had completely died. To make matters even more stressful, it was my daughter's birthday that evening, and I was scheduled to sell the vehicle the following day. I was in a complete panic. After calling several shops, most either didn't offer battery installation or couldn't help me on such short notice. Then I called Mtn View Tire, and Charlie answered. I explained what had happened, and instead of simply telling me they couldn't help, he said, "Just get the vehicle here and I'll help you." After getting a jump start from the guys at Sam's Club, I drove straight to Mtn View Tire. Charlie went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help me. He replaced the battery quickly and efficiently, allowing me to get home in time to get ready for my daughter's birthday dinner. And he didn't charge me. I was expecting to pay double too. I was honestly so relieved and grateful that I could have cried. Maybe I did. Customer service like this is hard to find these days. Charlie was kind, understanding, knowledgeable, and genuinely willing to help when I was in a stressful situation. He could have easily said, "Sorry, we can't help you," but instead, he made it his priority to find a solution. I cannot recommend Mtn View Tire enough. If you're looking for honest, knowledgeable people who truly care about their customers, this is the place. Thank you, Charlie, for going above and beyond when I really needed the help! Happy to give this place business in the future, I'll definitely be back.
