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.

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.

Great alternative to the higher prices of OEMs here, hidden in Orange. The honesty is refreshing -…read moreI brought my 2016 Toyota Camry with strong clicking from the passenger side that had me convinced it was a CV axle as I have had to do my own with my past cars. Dropped the car off late morning and within a few hours they called to let me know that when attempting to the reproduce the problem it ended up being bad hubcap clips (a relief). No charge and the inspection was on the house. Will definitely be bringing the Camry and the fiancé's Civic here in the future. Shoutout Gino and Jose!

I had such a great experience with Gino and Jose!

They called me almost everyday to update me on the process, any costs, or timing concerns. Gino handles the front and was extremely personable, helpful, and honest throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and never made me feel pressured into unnecessary repairs. Jose did the actual work on my car and did a fantastic job -- my Fiat is running great! My ac was causing lots of issues and has been running cold for a week now! I am always hesitant to have just anyone work and the Fiat but he clearly knew the car and specific details. It's really refreshing to find a shop that feels trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their customers. I would absolutely recommend Gino and Jose, especially to anyone looking for someone comfortable working on European cars. I'll definitely be coming back!

So incredibly happy and grateful to have found Frank and his team! I've been telling everyone who…read morewill stop and listen that they're amazing. 10/10 would recommend Frank's shop without hesitation. My car suddenly went into limp mode. The check engine light and several other lights came on. They disappeared after I stopped and restarted my car but I was frantic and didn't know what to do. When I called Frank's shop, he asked where I was and said I could stop by and they could do a quick diagnostic just to set my mind at ease before the weekend. Keep in mind this was just over an hour before they closed. Within half an hour, the problem had been diagnosed and fixed, and I was on my way. I still can't believe how quick and easy the whole experience was.

I have brought my girlfriend's SUV to Frank a few times in recent months and wanted to write an…read moreupdate. One visit was to troubleshoot the air conditioning, which was barely cool at best. I was hoping it just needed a Freon recharge. After checking the A/C system, Frank confirmed that the Freon was just low and everything else looked good. Luckily, her older car uses the newer, less expensive Freon. I just hung out while he recharged the system, and it was ready to go about 20 minutes later. The cost was only $150, money well spent to get ice cold air conditioning back. The most recent visit was to troubleshoot a service error code and ABS and brake warning lights. I was hoping this would just be a sensor on one of the wheels, but Frank said it looked like the main ABS ECU unit was faulty. Given the potential cost of the repair, it didn't make sense given the value of the car. I appreciated his honest opinion. He said there was no charge, but I still tipped him for his time because he always takes great care of me. I have tried a few other shops in the area over the years, and had initial good experiences. However, they all eventually gave me an estimate I knew as wrong, or didn't do work they said they did. I've been going to Frank ever since, and trust him 100%. If you need a top notch mechanic, Frank is your guy!

As parents whose daughter is currently away at College and not living close to us, we tend to worry about her and her vehicle. However, since we have been taking the VW Beetle to Mike's Foreign Car repair, it's one less thing for us to worry about and we know it's in great care. Not only do we see their expertise, efficiency and pride in their work but we also experience great professionalism when we call and during the day when they give us updates. I also want to mention that Mike's Foreign Cars prices are fair especially for a college student in a college town. Thank Mike's Foreign Car for always going out of your way for taking care of our daughter and her vehicle. We truly appreciate everything you and the other staff have done for her.

The pricing is always fair, appointments are easy to get, and the work is done right the first time. Daniel is especially great to work with. He's friendly, professional, and does an excellent job explaining what needs to be done and why. If you're looking for a shop that specializes in German vehicles and values customer service as much as quality repairs, I highly recommend Mike's Foreign Car.

They took the time to explain the repair, confirmed the diagnostic code, and even pointed out a few things I should do to help my Prius last longer. They noticed my hybrid battery cooling fan was missing after I told them I just had it "replaced" at another shop. That's the kind of information you don't usually get from a repair shop. They ended up not needing to drop the subframe, so they adjusted the labor instead of charging me for work they didn't have to do. It still took the amount of time they said it was going to take, but still discounted me a little bit which I thought was cool. I also had them do an oil change while it was there, and even that was less expensive than what I normally pay at places like Jiffy Lube or Valvoline. If you own a Prius or any hybrid, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. More than anything, I left feeling like they genuinely know these cars and took the time to educate me, not just fix it. I'll definitely be bringing my Prius back if I ever need anything else.

I got a second opinion and found out a tensioner in the timing chain had broke, and that was it, they rebuilt the timing system and I'm back on the road for less than $2000. I wouldn't trust them to change my oil.
