I highly recommend this mechanic to anyone looking for someone honest and reliable. They took the time to properly diagnose the issue with my car, explained everything clearly, and didn't try to overcharge me or upsell unnecessary repairs. It's hard to find trustworthy mechanics nowadays, and I really appreciated their honesty and professionalism. Definitely coming back for any future car issues! read more

To think I never left a review for my Mechanic is insane!!! I've been coming here ever since I purchased my first vehicle which was in 2019!!! The owner Juan and his son Jr. are car guys who have an amazing range...they've worked on my 2014 Mazda 3, 2020 Ford Mustang Convertible, 2011 Ford Taurus, and my 2018 Subaru CrossTrek!!! They are amazing and they are family. There was one time they took me to work because my car needed to stay! They are so clutch and they are worth every penny!!! Love them they are familia in my heart and I hope you try them out because they love what they do! I wouldn't recommend anyone else!!! Thank you Juan and Jr. for your services it's definitely saved me a ton of grey hairs over the years!!!! read more

See all

They are super clear about what's going on with your car and provide you with photos. So even if you don't know what your car should look like, you can show it to someone who knows and they can tell you what to do. They're honest and responsive. Highly recommend! read more

Horrible Service will not come here again, i was charged $1400 for an intake manifold job and all they did was change the manifold and not the interior parts, my vehicle continues to leak coolant, and i went to another trustworthy mechanic and im having to redo the job they said they already did because finding out they didn't even change all the components and left old parts that was a part of that job! I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy!!! If i could give a 0 star review i would! Also i had to get my air conditioning fixed twice and they made me pay twice for the same job and being naive and giving them the benefit of the doubt that they were trustworthy i payed twice for the same job! read more

Great service, didn't try to tell me a million things were wrong with my car! I just needed an oil change!

I'm so grateful for Juan and the team! My family and I have been coming here for years! I'm always taken care of from basic oil changes to the random questions I have about the little noises I hear haha They always do a great job! I trust them completely Thank you read more

I had been hearing a rattling sound under my car for a few days, but nothing was noticeably hanging or dragging but I brought it in just in case. They lifted my car up and showed me that my heat shield had a little crack which was causing the rattling sound, and said that they were able to bolt it and it would fix the problem. I was in and out in a matter of minutes the service was professional, and they didn't try to get me to spend money like most dealerships would try to do. This was my first time here and I will definitely be returning for any future mechanical problems going forward with any of mine or my families cars. Extremely satisfied! Thank you!! read more

I came in for an oil change and car repair and everyone here has been kind and explained everything to me. The price was great and their service was impeccable, will be coming again for any car repairs. read more

I had been looking for a good mechanic for a long time and as a girl who takes care of her own car that's hard to do. The family running this business are some of the most honest, hardworking, and dedicated people I've ever met. They don't try to sell you something you don't need but instead explain to you why you need what you need. They've earned my trust and a life long customer for sure. read more

I've been going to Placentia Auto for a long time now and I've taken all my cars there. They're honest, affordable, and thorough in everything they do. I trust them to recommend them to all looking for good mechanics. read more

So glad I found a place I can trust to take my car to. I get my oil changes here & just got a new radiator put in. Fair pricing, honest, family-owned shop. read more

Great service from people you can trust! I had been told by another repair shop that my well-maintained truck needed very expensive repairs. I really wanted to speak with someone who would show me the issues and give me honest advice before spending so much money. Placentia Auto Repair was able to help and charged much less than the other shop. THANK YOU! read more

My car had overheated and completely died so finding a trusting mechanic seemed very challenging esp the kind of work to be done on my car. I called places and friends but in the end a good friend recommended this shop. I couldn't have been happier. David the owner is a very friendly, honest person with good prices and workmanship. They were very professional and got my car up and running at the cost he said it would take, unlike the Ford dealer I've take it to in the past. I highly recommend this auto shop, I'll be bringing back my car for future repairs. read more

This place is great. I've been coming here for the past 2 years to get my brakes and oil change done. Junior is great, he is very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

I came here religiously 3 years back. I was an 18 year old student with family from out of town, and I often felt taken advantage of. I had an old 1995 BMW and ended up putting more than $2,800 into it, with Placentia Automotive. This included a used engine for more than $1500. Looking back on it, I think it was the computer that was the issue, I question that It was the engine. This is because it stopped working about a week after being in the shop when I took it through a car wash. Ever after the engine was replaced, the check engine never went off and I consistently had problems with the computer. Before this incident, no check engine lights were on and I didn't have issues with the computer. As a consumer I would not take my car here. I can't help but look back on my experience and shake my head. I was young and nieve and feel as if I was mislead. read more

Liz is an awesome Manager. I'd give her 10 stars if I could. Very polite and helpful. For the mechanic Juan is a hardworking mechanic who doesn't play around got. I got in and out of this place like it was a burger joint. Fast and efficient I will definitely be using this place more for my car needs. read more

My car has had one problem after the other over the past couple of months, so I have been to a few different shops around Fullerton. Placentia Automotive seemed to know their stuff. I told them a brief history of my car and what problem I was currently facing. The man checked the car and came back with what needed to be fixed. He gave me a decent, fair quote. They put in a call for my parts, started working on it and sent me on my way within a few hours. I will definitely be bringing my car here again. read more

Was recommended to this place by my local autozone. Called the night before and talked price with the (Damian) owner. I told him i need my brakes replaced (replace rotors and pads) and i would provide the parts. We agreed on $75 for the WHOLE JOB!! Since i'm familiar with the work needed (i did it myself when i had the space) i know this is a good deal, not great but good. Get there the next morning He's not there, so the mechanic starts the job. He shows up 15 minutes later and says $75 for the front and $75 for the back!! I'm a little taken back by the change in price. His response to me is i never said front and back. I tell him WHOLE JOB means changing both not specifically one or the other. I even repeated the amount and whole job multiple times last night. We go back and forth and i tell him he's trying to play word games with me and i dont appreciate that. Regardless work is done, will have to check the quality but i cant imagine it would be bad. In the end, my advice to any future customer... I won't frequent a place that plays word games like that. I can see it now, sorry sir we said we looked at your fluids we never said wether there were low or not! As he brought me the bill i told him i'm really not happy how it all went down, he gave me a discount but honestly we shouldn't have had to go through all that. 5 stars for the work, -2 stars for the customer service part (the easiest part). read more

This is one of the best places to fix your car, everyone there speaks English and Spanish. They have very good deals and don't try to make you spend more money than is needed. If your need a ride home they'll give you one and both owners David and Juan and very nice guys. I recommend this place to everyone read more

This place is amazing. Came in on 11/20/2013 for a oil change. 30min and $30 later, it was done and over with. I'm a VERY happy camper. This place is awesome. read more

Best shop in all of Orange County! You cant beat the prices and they always do the job right the first time. I moved from O.C. to the Inland Empire and I still take all of my vehicles there. read more

Best automotive shop I'be ever been too that I've felt completely comfortable! I was recommended to this place my an employee at Oreillys auto parts. I came in and the mechanics were all nice, including the owner David. I was given a free estimate and went ahead with the job. My car was well taken care of. I've now gone twice and it's been a pleasure having them service my car because I know it's in great hands that won't charge an arm and a leg. Really honest and reasonable prices read more

I'd recommend this place to everyone. The boss , David , and his staff are honest and hardworking. They're in business because they make their customers happy and are not out to rip you off. Prices are fair and they do a great job on all services / repairs. Ive found it is possible to get more than what you pay for. read more

So, my review is on my recent visits here which hasn't been very pleasing... I spent $200 for a spark plug & air filter change then spent another $300 for repairs that I am now finding out i may have been over charged & unnecessary to boot...Needless to say I did look for a more trustworthy shop.. I really put my trust in David & his crew before not to take advantage of a loyal customer.. read more

I've been coming here for years!... I'm writing a review because I started helping businesses that I truly feel have gone far and beyond from what I ever expected their service to be. Placentia automotive is one those I'm very excited to write a review for. I just picked up my car I had them do whatever they felt need to be done ( that's how much I trust them) OMG!!! It's like... NO!! It's not like, it's better seriously, then when I drove my car off the dealership. I'm not going to go on cause you just have to hope that if you ever need to get anything done to your car I hope you're lucky enough to end up in the area of Placentia automotive..not trying to sound like a commercial but I is truly an honest place hands down. read more

I have been going here for 8 yrs. they are very honest and do a good job. And their prices can't be beat. I have had 4 different cars serviced over the years, and have been a loyal customer. read more

Very great auto shop, took my stang for an oil change and they did a complete check up and told me everything was running great, Thanks to Edwin Rosales a great mechanic there who was very helpful, this place will never disappoint!!!! read more

The owner and the mechanic were both pleasant guys. They did not try to upsell me on more auto repairs, which is what happens at every other shop. They did a complicated job (replacing both valve cover gaskets) in only a few hours. And they did it at a reasonable price. It's nice not to have to look at oil on the ground where my car was parked. I recommended Placentia Automotive. read more

This is the second time that David and his crew have serviced my son's car. As always this mom left with confidence knowing the car was fixed and fixed correctly. They know I'm not rich so always try to save me money. I am truly blessed to have found this place! read more

good honest quality auto repair by their knowledgable staff.
