Honest shop and great communication. Will come back here for any vehicle needs. Upfront about estimates/costs and got me in right away to see what was wrong with the car. Thanks again. Much appreciated. read more

Once again Pat shows his lack of professionalism. I am not trying to "ruin" anyone's business. The purpose of Yelp is to help other consumers evaluate businesses!!! I have stated the truth!! You CANNOT legally charge a transaction fee on a DEBIT CARD!! If the charge were for more than $44, we would be in court, trust me! I don't really care about what "other mechanics or auto shops do", I care about the law, and what is fair to consumers. People, choose who to believe. Here is the law it is called the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act. Got to be careful, Pat, I have have many friends who are lawyers!! People GOOGLE it yourself! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A California auto mechanic cannot legally charge a fee for using a debit card, as this is prohibited by federal law and card network rules. While a mechanic may offer a discount for cash or debit payments, they are not allowed to add a surcharge to debit card transactions, even if the card is processed with a signature. Federal Law: The Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act makes it illegal for merchants to charge a surcharge for any debit card transaction nationwide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ read more

I recently brought my car to Platinum Auto Repair and was extremely impressed with the service. Patrick was flexible with scheduling and the team quickly identified an issue that both the dealership and another mechanic had previously missed. Their honesty, attention to detail, and professionalism really stood out. I'll definitely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy local mechanic. read more

Customer service was great but I'm wrestling with taking my car here again. My car began making noises it never had before and leaking after having it repaired here. I knew she needed a catalytic converter as well but it had to wait so I thought it must be that. Well, We took her back to have the catalytic converter replaced and now she's making horrid sounds (maybe a belt) and leaking water like crazy. I am loath to take her a third time. read more

I've been looking for auto repair shop in SCV that I can trust. This is my first time to take my Tacoma to Platinum (Pat). They were professional with their dealings, knows what they were talking about & detail on their expertise. They worked on the shocks, struts, and brakes. He gave me a detailed estimate for labor and materials. Price is very fair and workmanship is good. I would say, "I found a shop that can take care of my Tacoma'. Good job Platinum! read more

Patrick's awesome. Quick turnaround and they don't mind educating you if you don't know much about cars.

Had to have a battery installed and platinum noticed the shocks were leaking and the engine showed some oil leaks as well. Very happy that the issues were identified and we decided to just do the shocks right away and schedule the engine work in the near future. This is a very happy customer and my second review and I would recommend anyone to contact Platinum if you want an honest feedback and quick resolution of any issues. read more

Absolutely fantastic place. Patrick is as honest as you can get and I feel very good knowing this business is around. My son needed work done on his car and we both know this is where we will come for any type of repair. First rate all the way read more

Pat and his team were extremely responsive and helpful. Soon after sending a request for a battery replacement he got back to me within a few hours with a quote and was very flexible with scheduling an appointment within our limited free time. His team were able to perform the swap and the payment before we even needed to leave their office. I will also say that the pricing was very fair given that we expected it to be higher just from looking around at battery prices. Definitely would recommend !!! read more

Trustworthy, honest and knowledgeable. Wont take my vehicles anywhere else! Quick to respond and upfront about costs. Great service all around! read more

Pat, the owner and master mechanic has always been an honest, professional and very competent mechanic. I've known Pat for almost 20 years, and I value his expertise! He's an artist, family man and a fucking patriot! We all want our ride is run perfectly...and that's where Pat comes in! He fucking rocks! read more

I came in for a brake repair because my car told me I needed new brake pads. Pat was very kind and got me taken care of same day at a very reasonable price. read more

This place is really helpful! It was a last minute service and they had no issue taking it in.

They were super nice and really efficient. I came in for an oil change and it was very reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back.

Took my 2015 Mustang GT in for a leaking differential. Typically I visit another shop in Santa Clarita, however after calling I discovered the diagnostic rate is lower by a measurable amount and the reviews were all great. I brought it in same day and within an hour I had the issue, fix, and quote. I can also appreciate using text over calls, a lot more convenient. The cost wasn't outlandish and because of that I opted to get my spark plugs replaced as well. I'm very wary of who works on my car and getting pictures and frequent updates puts me at ease. They even straightened out my exhaust that was sagging on one side. Overall great experience, just found my new shop. read more

Both Ashley and Pat were great!! First time visit for a Brake Job, I set up an appointment and job was done as promised and timely manner, exceeded expectations for sure! Fair Price! Good Customer Service with good personalities! Will definitely be visiting again for future Work needed in my vehicles! read more

This shop is clean and organized. Patrick (owner) is a pleasure to deal with, a transparent and honest mechanic who only recommends service your car truly needs. read more

I do not like writing negative reviews and very rarely do so, but this issue was so egregious I felt others should be aware. I waited a few months before writing to make sure I did not need a new radiators as Platinum advised. During my oil change, which was great, I asked to look the care over, especially the brakes. Upon inspection they said I needed a new radiator. I was suspicious as I was not losing any coolant, and no traces of any leaking. Also said I needed new brakes on front and rear, which I questioned the rear. The front brakes were needed. I then took the car to my old mechanic in another city. He said I needed front brakes. The rear brakes were at 50%, wherein Platinum said they were 15%. He also could not find any leaking or deterioration of the radiator. He suggested the cap did need replacement. Platinum had showed me a picture of a radiator purported to be mine of corrosion at the bottom of the radiator. There was no corrosion at my later inspection, and my old mechanic did not find any. This means the guy showed me some stock photo he had of a corroded radiator. After many months on driving there are no radiator issues, as there wasn't when I drove in, except maybe a new cap was needed. The quote to do all the work by Platinum was north of $2,300. The work I actually really needed cost me $455. read more

Great shop very honest mechanic and owner my 2012 Honda Civic that I am donating hit a rock in the road and the metal shield came down. I called them requested a quote to get it fixed. They said no charge come in for free. I tried to tip, but they did not accept it so I'm leaving a great yelp review. Good people I would trust them. read more

Patrick was very nice and knowledgeable and fair. This was my first time taking my car there but I will be back again.

Awesome service! Highly recommend. It was my first time getting a tune up on my car and called multiple places but Platinum Auto Repair was THE ONE. The previous shops were rude over the phone. Thank you Platinum Auto Repair for your service, kindness & honesty. My car needed air on the tires and they went over & beyond & added air for us. read more

Pat at Platinum Auto Repair was great! Diagnosed my issue the same day. Got my truck back the next day in time to take it to the desert for camping motorcycle riding. I highly recommend Pat and Platinum Auto Repair. Will definitely come back for any of my automotive issues!! Again, I highly recommend Platinum Auto Repair!! read more

Got back to me very quick and we're very kind during the entire process. Much cheaper than what the dealership was going to charge me and did a good job on my car. read more

Excellent diagnosis and service. Cost less than I expected Owner is a real gentleman providing information on problem with alternator and the failed catalytic converter ; Both items replaced. Highly recommend this service . read more

An honest, reliable and knowledgable mechanic is worth their weight in gold! So happy to have had Patrick and Platinum Auto recommended to us because our experience has been stellar. We have cars ranging from 2009 to 2022 and a few in between that Platinum Auto maintains for us. The recommendations for service and the costs involved are always reasonable. They go above and beyond in explaining any issues they find with our cars and are great with recommending immediate needs, but also repairs that can wait. I appreciate their quick responses to texts and how prompt they are with working us in even if it's a last minute request. We are so happy to have Patrick and Platinum Auto as our auto service specialist and look forward to many years with high performing cars. read more

i have used Platinum several times over the years especially on my wife's Lexus. Pat always steers us the right way when assessing our vehicles. hard to find the honesty theses days!! thx pat!!! read more

Very professional! Pat and his technician's were able to diagnose the electrical issue and make the repairs.

After the Kia dealership estimated a month before they could run a diagnostic, I brought my car to Patrick. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and communicative. They fixed and replaced my tires, brakes, axles, suspension, oil, battery and more all in a day and half. Sent pictures and updates frequently. I really recommend checking this place out if you're in need of any auto repair!! read more

This place is a hidden gem! I was so impressed by the service, price, and professionalism. They do work as well as the dealers. I'm so glad I had my car serviced by them. read more

I started having car trouble and immediately brought it back to Platinum. It was nothing they did to my car last time, but rather because of how well they fixed it! When I say this shop is thorough, they are thorough! This time around they found that my Alternator and battery needed to be changed. What I appreciated is that they tested it quite a few times and didn't just guess. That is the quality service you get with Platinum Repair. I am beyond grateful for the fast turn around, as me and my husband only have 1 car at the moment. If you're in need of an honest repair shop, being your car here! read more

Definitely recommend this business! Patrick was so great to work with and I look so forward to future business with him.

We had a situation with our 2015 Prius where a rodent gnawed through the EVAP hose right above the fuel tank resulting in a persistent "Check Engine" warning light. I contacted Patrick at Platinum Auto Repair because of the great Yelp reviews. It turns out that Toyota only sells the EVAP hose with a new fuel tank. The hose is not sold on its own (I confirmed this with Toyota). Patrick and his assistant drained the tank, replaced it with a new tank, and reconnected all of the hoses all in one day. Patrick retained the damaged fuel tank and hose so that our insurance adjuster could inspect the damage (it turns out that damage due rodents was covered by my AAA insurance, less deductible). We also had Platinum Auto replace the front and rear brake rotors and pads (the first brake job in 85K miles). Patrick showed us all of the old brake parts so that we could be confident that their replacement was absolutely necessary to safely operate the vehicle. We are really impressed with the quality of the work and will use Platinum Auto Repair again. read more

Platinum Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Canyon Cntry, California

Trust is something that is not easy to come by these days but Pat at Platinum Auto Repair has unequivocally earned my trust over the many years he has been servicing my vehicle. Pat is the consummate professional -- a mechanic's mechanic -- and absolutely knows his stuff when it comes to automotive repair. Pat's workmanship is second to none and his pricing is fair and honest. He's also prompt with getting your vehicle back to you. One other thing about Pat; he's genuinely a nice guy and it comes through in the way he runs his business. You would be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable and honest mechanic than Pat...yes, he's that good. read more

I highly recommend this place! The customer service was outstanding, and the quality of work was exceptional. Chris did a fantastic job fixing my car. I'm extremely satisfied with the entire experience. read more

Believe the hype. Platinum was one of many places I was looking at to do a Toyota front and rear brake job and although Patrick wasn't the least expensive, what made my decision to go with him was how he conducted himself on our phone call, patiently answering questions and the vibe/energy I was getting from him. He was able to take me the same day because he was waiting on a part for another job. He took me at the time he said he would and finished at the time he said he would. One thing that I like about repair shops is how clean or organized their shop is and Patrick's is very clean and organized. I own two Toyotas and I would not hesitate to go back to Platinum Auto. He works on other cars as well, but do yourself a favor, if you need any auto repair work done on time, with great quality and great value, give Platinum a call. Patrick will definitely take care of you. His work is guaranteed for one year or 12,000 miles. I'll update my review if anything changes, but I'm pretty sure the work was done correctly and it won't be necessary. read more

Had problems with a truck that wouldn't start after running without issues so I called Platinum Auto Repair and spoke to Patrick. He went through diagnostics with me over the phone and gave me a procedure to get anti theft settings reset in hopes that I wouldn't have to bring the truck to him. Anytime a mechanic will volunteer his time and go out of his way to help solve the issue to save you money without the car in his shop (free of charge), that's a good person and mechanic. Most other mechanics would want to see the car so they can run up a bill. Patrick wanted to see if he could solve the problem over the phone to save me time and money. Would not hesitate to use him after this. His reviews are well deserved, thanks Patrick! read more

I would like to say that Platinum Auto Repair quite simply is the GREAT! Patrick is a great guy and is very honest, trustworthy and very professional! He wants to help you in every way possible. He works very hard and to get your vehicle back to you ASAP! I'm so thankful for finding Patrick and Platinum Auto over 3 years ago and would only take my car to him. I'm gonna be moving back home but I can honestly say that if I could, I would continue to bring my car back to him! It's hard to find a great mechanic who you can trust and that'll be honest with you and not try to take advantage and Patrick is not that guy or person or mechanic! I would advise anyone in Santa Clarita or the surrounding area to bring your car to him and Platinum Auto!! Hands down, simply the BEST! Thank you Patrick for all your hard that you've help me and my car with! Very grateful and appreciative of you!! Thanks again!! read more

Be VERY careful with these guys. This is long but in light of all the positive reviews here I strongly suggest you read this. I ran over a ladder on the freeway and cracked the oil pan to my transmission. I went in for a diagnostic to make sure nothing else was damaged, and they confirmed that it was just the oil pan that needed replacement. After dropping off the car, I YouTubed how to replace the pan, and it honestly appeared easy enough to do myself. But since it looked so easy I figured I'd get a quote because it couldn't be that expensive. This shop quoted me around $1,700, stating that they had to raise the transmission in order to get the pan off. The owner (Patrick) sat there and tried to tell me that the carriage was in the way and because of that they had to remove the carriage and raise the transmission to get to the pan. He showed me a pics of how the carriage is in the way and chuckled as he scolded Toyota for designing the car that way. He clearly thought that I'm stupid. Maybe it was the fact that I dropped the car off in a suit (cuz I was coming from work) that made him think he could get one over on me ‍ In reality, you can unscrew the bolts from the pan, and it slides right out at an angle. No need to remove the carriage or raise the transmission. I paid the $135 for the diagnostic and went my way. I took the car to the dealership, because this guy was clearly scamming me and I wanted to see what the always-so-expensive dealership would charge, and if was rly going to be $1,700 I would just change the pan myself. It was $600 total including parts and labor at the dealership. The job took about an hour and a half. Realistically, with the right tools, this is a $300+parts job. Here's the lesson: Most mechanics, no matter their ratings are crooks. This guy, with all of his 5 star ratings, is a crook. Always YouTube what it takes to repair whatever issue you're having with your car, and compare that to what your mechanic is telling you. And if you're smart, just avoid this shop altogether. read more

Pat and the team were incredible. I took my daughter's European car to them for an AC problem after just buying it (used). Pat was awesome and offered a full inspection free of charge. During that inspection, they found some cracks and other issues with the front lower control arm ball joint assemblies. He gave me an estimate which after a quick google search seemed very fair. Pat had them replaced and ready to go the very next morning and even showed me the old parts that he replaced and where the damage was (it was obvious). This is a critical safety issue for my teenage daughter and Pat helped to make sure the car was safe. THANK YOU. This will be the only place I take my cars for service from now on, I highly recommend you do the same. read more

Pat did a great job with a major service and a the breaks and water pump on my Gls 450.
