Great service...trustworthy, reliable. and timely service with a smile Highly recommended read more

Very bad experience! After taking it here, they forgot to install the brakes. Luckily, I got half way down the street before realizing it and they fixed it, but then my car stopped working a few days later. Wish, I had taken it elsewhere! read more

Rey was super cool ! Got me in the same day for y smog plus gave me some good advice about my old truck. He could of made some money off me with an oil lèak but said to just be sure and checjk the oil pretty often. It was nice he didnt take advantage of me beinh a numb skull that iam when it comes to auto mechanical things . I do recomend him for honesty and price and being a good guy!! read more

Honest, world class service at a reasonable price. We thought we were going to need a new car and Rey found the problem and fixed it in a timely manner. Thank you for staying open on a Saturday when you didn't need to. read more

Very bad experience with Rey. Took 5 weeks to do a 3-hour repair. The repair was bad and took another 2 weeks to finally get it right. Had issues with another repair but let it go. Could not endure another wait. read more

I went in to get an oil change today not only did they do a great job. The service was fast and friendly! Thank you for a job well done I will be back ! read more

We had two cars smogged back to back on a Saturday afternoon. The fact that Rey's is open on Saturday already sets his customer service higher than other places in town. My husband has one day off and fitting in car maintenance on Saturday has proven to be near impossible in this area! Rey was super friendly; he provided great service and quickly! We will continue to use this shop. (The only negative to this shop is the lack of parking, but Rey happily helps guide you while you back out into Hwy1.) read more

Rey's Auto Express - Saturday smog service - Auto Repair Near Me - Oceano, California

Rey treated me and my car with care. Test was done quickly and he had me out in no time for my smog test.

It is hard to find a mechanic who is trustworthy, fair, good, and affordable. He and Poncho have both taken care of my family's minivan, truck, VW SUV, and BMW SUV. They do a great job and are reliable. They have gotten my wife out of many jams when repairs are needed quickly when heading out of town. We have recommended friends and they have all been very happy with our recommendation to Rey. Thanks Rey and Poncho! read more

I'm new to the area so when my pick up stopped running I needed to find someone quick to diagnose and repair the problem. Thanks to the Yelp reviews and Rey's upbeat manner on the phone when I called, Rey got me in the very next day and determined I'd lost the timing belt. I also had a leaking and groaning power steering pump which led to replacement of the steering rack. Rey and his helper got my truck back to me within a couple days and at a very reasonable price for all the parts and labor. He even fixed a loose wire on my non-functioning driver side electric window for no charge. Now I need a smog check, so guess where I'm taking my truck? Rey's, of course! read more

Had my car snigger there for the first time. It is a small place but very professional. Was in and out in no time.

Rey was able to get me in and out for a same day smog check within 20 mins or so. He also took steps to keep both of us safe and reduce the need for contact during the service (during COVID-19). I appreciate how professional and quick the service was and I would recommend anyone else to come here and support a small business! read more

Do yourself a favor and bring your automobile to Rey's. I did and I couldn't be happier! Honesty, integrity, professionalism, master mechanic skills and great prices are what you will find at Rey's! I won't go anywhere else, been there done that! read more

Just moved up to the Central Coast and needed to get my pickup smogged ASAP. Looking at the other reviews, I decided to go to Rey's and that was a great decision. Rey's the man! Was in and out in no time. Rey was professional and courteous. Highly recommended. read more

I haven't lived in the area long...a friend of mine referred me to Rey. I was looking for a shop that didn't price gouge you but also did a good job. I most definitely got that here! I was upset, thought my transmission was shot...nope! It did need some repairs but I didn't feel like puking when he gave me the total ! Rey and one of his employees were professional and very kind! A+++++ service! Thanks Rey! read more

Best place to get a smog check. Rey is very professional and got me in and out quick. Car passed smog and I couldn't be any happier. I would recommend anyone in the SLO county to get there smog inspections done here. read more

Rey is an excellent mechanic and a straight shooter whom I trust. He has worked competently on my car, truck and even my motorhome. The other mechanic that works along side of Rey is very knowledgeable and competent as well. It is a "no frills" shop but very professional in every way. read more

A year later and it's still a five star review!!!! Rey accommodates whenever possible and I always feel like a special customer...even though I suspect everyone feels this way I trust him and that's what really matters because, after all, I know nothing about automobiles and could easily be ripped off! Won't ever go anywhere else. read more

Reys auto express is awesome. Always quick in and gets the job done right. Hes always ver6 professional and courteous.

First I have to say that I've been to quite a few Auto Shops in this area and there are a lot of them I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to. So when you read my recommendations about businesses, that I 'rave' about, you can be sure that I think they are really good at what they do. I would definitely recommend Rey's Auto Express. He has his own shop at 1940 Cienaga St Unit B, Oceano, CA 93445, Phone: (805) 668-2101 Opens 830AM - 530PM Mon-Sat. My first time was when my Camino needed to be smogged. He was amazing with my '82. Then next it was to check it out due to a vandal being under it for about 10 - 15 minutes at 4:30 AM a few months ago, the another vandalism on all three cars in the driveway but had just the Camino checked out. He was extremely reasonable on each of the check ups and each time even 'offered to let me go and pay it later when I had time'. So I knew he was someone I could trust if HE trusted me that much. I have been "Where you don't know where to get things repaired because you're new to the area or too many have taken advantage of you". I've lived here in Grover Beach since 1984 and learned a little more than I 'wanted' to about the reputations of a lot of the Auto Shops, Dentists, Optometrists, Tire Repair Shops, Appliance Pickups & getting Refurbished ones... After all I've been through with 6 other 'highly recommended & some Christian Auto Shops' -- I know I've found the ONE Honest Mechanic in the 5 Cities Area! Rey, at Rey's Auto Express! And affordable too! Thank You Rey! read more

Rey was awesome. I pulled up looking for a oil change they moved cars in the lot since it's a small place. Got me right in good guys all around. Price was good. I highly suggest is if you need work and your in Oceano stop by and see Rey. read more

called the morning of for a smog check and rey fit me in within the hour. reasonable price too - $50. he wasn't wearing a mask but to each their own and not gonna count that against him. pulling in and leaving the shop feels treacherous especially when there are cars parked in the driveway for maintenance that obscure visibility. im glad i had my partner with me to get out and signal for when the road had cleared. read more

I needed a Smog Check on Saturday. All the places I Yelped were closed except Rey's. I called and Rey said he could get it done right now. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Friendly and efficient. read more

I was on vacation, driving through Pismo Beach, when my car started to act up, making me wonder if I could safely make it home. At lunch we asked our waiter, Juan, at Pismo Beach Fish and Chips, if he could recommend a good auto mechanic, and without hesitation he recommended Rey's Auto Express. We called Rey who told us to bring the car in right away. When we arrived, he immediately turned his attention to my car. Naturally, the car did not duplicate the problems I had been experiencing, but he took it out for a lengthy test drive, reviewed the Ford service bulletins, got under the car, and asked me specific questions about what I was experiencing with the car. Although he was unable to diagnose the problem, (which is hard to do when a car is behaving normally), he gave me confidence that I should be ok to drive the car home and that meant so much since Perry Ford's next service appointment wasn't for another 11 days! This generous, honest man made time for a vacationer passing through Pismo Beach, and gave me his valuable time and knowledge without asking for anything in return. Today my car made it safely home, 400 miles away, and I am still thinking about the kindness of this man who made time to assist a traveler who he would never see again. Needless to say, if you have any car needs, whether a resident or a passerby, this is the man to bring your car to. I just wish that I lived close enough to bring my car to him every time. Thank you, Rey! read more

Saw the ad in one of the weekly savers. Decided to head over there to have my a.c. checked out. Business was closed. Need to update the hours if not going to be open on a Saturday. And I was there around 2pm. Current hours of M-SATURDAY 8-530 is wrong. read more

My car had a lose battery cable and Rey fixed it for me for no charge and was very helpful. It was a holiday weekend and I know he was trying to close. I totally recommend his shop. read more

A very fine experience here. Traveling through and car quit. Towed to Rey on recomendation from RV park. Very fast diagnosis for a flat price. Quote for repair was accurate and repair time was quick. Can't say enough about his compentance and service. He even came and got us when it was ready. Thanks Rey! read more

Took my Toyota Tacoma in for timing belt service and oil change. Gave detail explanation on the repair. Prompt and excellent service!

I first went to Rey's for a smog and, as soon as he opened my hood, he immediately noticed a small leak I had in my radiator. I couldn't figure out why I was having to refill my coolant cause the leak was so small, I couldn't find it myself. I didn't tell him about that issue, by the way. I have gone back to him for all my repairs ever since. He is a great mechanic and a great guy who stands behind his work. He gets repairs done quickly and is reasonably priced. I highly recommend this repair shop. Thank you, Rey! read more

Rey is a great guy is always helpful. I had a smog test done and he repaired a hose and only mentioned it in passing. I have had experience with other mechanics would try to sell you a package on repairs for hundreds of dollars...Rey just repaired it with no charge. I will continue to go to Rey with my auto needs. Honesty is the best policy. read more

I needed a smog check, but my work hours prevent me from making it to most shops before closing (5pm). I called Rey's about five minutes before close of business and he told me he had time and to come down. Probably the quickest and easiest smog I've had. I will definitely be back for more. read more

Best service and professionals in town. Look no further!

We had a blowout on the freeway in our rental RV. We were stranded with two young children who were very frightened of the whole situation. Everyone at Rey's was terrific in getting out to us as soon as they could (and it was late on a Friday night). Vincent was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. The entire team at Rey's helped us out of a tight spot. I highly recommend them! read more
