They leverage, tools and technology to deliver high quality and timely service. They take pictures and videos of everything and include those in a report that is easy to read and understand and are always available for a phone call. For those intimidated by mechanics, this place is for you, they won't make you feel rushed and there are no stupid questions. More importantly, they are honest, and I have experienced this first hand with a warranty issue with previously replaced (by them) shocks. When I mentioned that the shocks were just replaced on my last visit after they had reported to me that they were leaking, they immediately took ownership and covered it under warranty, no questions asked. Their prices are a bit higher than other mechanics in the area, but if you value quality over cheap price tag, you will not have an issue with it. Over all, The Mechanic OC has been a great experience and I take all 3 of my vehicles there for maintenance/repair. I highly recommend them!

I get oil changes here, but recently had a washer fluid leak that I was hoping would be covered by my car warranty. Unfortunately, the dealer was going to charge me several hundred dollars JUST for the diagnostic, so I decided to bring it to OC Auto Care first just in case. And I'm glad I did. They checked and noticed it was a rat problem (warranty wouldn't have covered it) and OC Auto Care fixed it all under the price of the dealer's diagnostic price. Prices are fair, service is high quality, and the team feel like family.

I originally came in for a smog check, and they had me in and out in 20 minutes with a great Yelp discount. Since then, I've brought my car back for oil changes and brake work, and the service is always top-notch. What stands out most is their honesty. They never try to upsell you on unnecessary repairs, they only fix what actually needs fixing and their pricing is incredibly fair. They are fast, professional, and genuinely care about their customers. Even if you don't live right in the neighborhood, they are well worth the drive for the peace of mind. 5 stars all the way!

The transmission specialist at the other shop said they needed to take it out to find out what the problem is, and needed to charge a huge diagnostic fee. They called it a tear down inspection, but I had my doubts and brought it to V-Tech for a second opinion. V-Tech found all the issues, explained it to me, and were able to fix it in 1-day. The car definitely had issues, but it turns out it was due to drive belt, timing belt, transmission oil, and air intake hose. We also had a battery causing starter issues, but we knew about that. V-Tech took car of it and charged us a low price! The car is driving great and we're super happy!

I've been taking my Hyundai Tucson to V-Tech Automotive for the past three years, and Adel has…read moreconsistently provided excellent service. Over that time, he's handled oil changes, brake jobs, air and cabin filter replacements, and even some minor electrical repairs. What stands out most is his honesty, knowledge, and attitude. He always takes the time to explain what's needed, never tries to upsell unnecessary work, and genuinely seems to care about doing the job right. When I needed brakes on my Tucson, the parts and labor were significantly less expensive than another shop I had used before, and the quality was actually better. Recently, I purchased a Mercedes-AMG C63, and before buying it, I trusted Adel to give me an honest opinion on whether it was a good car to purchase. That level of trust says a lot. After I bought it, he handled the oil change and brakes for a fraction of what the dealership would have charged. I haven't had any major repairs done there yet, so I can't speak to that personally, but based on my experience over the last three years, I wouldn't hesitate to trust V-Tech Automotive with bigger jobs if they came up. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable mechanic who does quality work at fair prices, I highly recommend Adel and V-Tech Automotive.

I was having some brake issues and knew that I needed new pads and possibly new rotors. Nick was very honest and let me know that only my front pads needed to be changed and that my back pads still had more use ahead. He also let know my rotors were good so no need to change. I will be bringing my car back to Nick moving forward.

After…read morea stressful experience at Honda where I was told my car was unsafe to drive and quoted an extremely high repair cost Eddie completely turned my situation around. He made me feel reassured that my vehicle was safe to drive until I could get the part ordered and fixed. From the moment I walked in Eddie was honest, calm and reassuring. He scheduled an inspection for my car and explained everything clearly and confirmed that my car was safe to drive which immediately put me at ease. The level of integrity and transparency he showed is something you don't see often in auto repair. Especially as a woman you hear about the opposite. Not only did Eddie give me a fair and reasonable price but the work was completed quickly and professionally. What Honda quoted as a 35 hour job and thousands of dollars, Eddie and his team handled in just a few hours for a fraction of the cost. The difference in service was night and day. If you're looking for a trustworthy and straightforward and genuinely caring automotive service. I highly recommend Japanese Auto Repair and especially Eddie. Eddie was extremely knowledgeable and communicated with me through out the process. From scheduling my car to get inspected to reaching out when the parts arrived for my car to scheduling my appointment to fix my vehicle. Even reached out to let me know another part arrived and scheduled my next visit. This is a small shop so making an appointment and being patient and not rushing the service team is important. I'm so grateful I found them they earned a customer for life! 5 STARS + to Eddie and his team 5 STARS EXCELLENT SERVICE 5 STARS COMMUNICATION 5 STARS FOR LOCATION Highly recommend Certified Japanese Auto Repair
