My 2015 Honda CRV awd was towed into Ron Catt Auto Care.Corwin Sherman listen to what I believed the issues with the car were. He carefully laid out a plan of diagnosis and probable solutions. They were busy yet we're able to take a look at the car. Every step along the way the explained what they were going to do, the costs and then the final repairs and time associated with such repairs. Costs were reasonable, Jeff Lucente the technician was very knowledgeable and clear as to what could be done and what should be done. They were very timely in their repairs. The even made a few favorable financial changes in my favor. They took a few pics for me to send to the previous mechanic who did previous repair work badly causing this issue to arise. Thank you all. Greatly Appreciated. Would recommend them all day everyday and twice on Sunday!! Daniel Bierman read more

Jack was absolutely amazing! Went to several mechanics but they all said to go to dealership because they couldn't fix my problem. Decided to ask Chatgbt of all things and they said for ford cars in Huntington Beach come to Ronn Catt. The car is running great for a fair price. I'm so grateful for Jack and the rest of the team. read more

Been going to Ron's for years now. Found the place as when I was working in the area and we needed a shop to take care of our fleet, AND they were just down the street. Now I take my personal cars to Ron. The shop is always clean and plenty of seats in the loby if you are waiting. I find their prices fair as the mechanics are trained & cerfified and shows the intergrity of the place. (They want you to be happy & return) They make recomendations for repairs and dont force them on you. If you dont know anything about cars they will explain what they have done or why you need something done in ways you can understand. Ron and his staff are always friendly when you speak with them. You know this is a good place as they are always busy with repairs. read more

I am way over due writing this review for Ron Catt and his excellent staff. We have been going to Ron for many years, he is the one we trust to work on our cars or even to advise us, and inspect a used car before we buy it. The service is always exceptional! It's so nice to have a place where you know that they will always be fair and honest, but also the work will be done perfectly and at a fair price. If you are looking for great auto service, look no further, Ron, Jack and his entire staff are amazing! read more

Very happy with the professionalism, promptness and friendliness. Very respectful goup of guys. The place is very presentable in appearance so I thought for sure it was going to be out of my budget. This place is fair and that shows the integrity of the business. Very happy that our tow truck driver recommended this place . Thank you for a great job and relieving our car trouble stress. read more

I came to Ron Catt Auto with my MINI for a quote and vehicle check after getting a recommendation from work. Though the car results weren't ideal, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Fair prices, too. Ron, Corwin, and Jack are all-stars. They kept me informed and made sure I understood the diagnosis. If you need help with your vehicle, definitely stop by! Need a rental? You can rent one on-site. Everything about my visit was easy. read more

First time going to Ron Catt auto repair.They have a very experience team and very honest shop.

Corwin was amazing to work with in getting my ATS fixed! They were thorough, communicative, and professional

Let's face it, no one looks forward to taking their car in for repairs. There's an old saying: "Dentists are like mechanics--they always find something wrong." But at Ron Catt Auto Repair, you don't have to worry about anyone pulling teeth or recommending unnecessary bridge work. Ron and his team are true professionals who take pride in their craft. Two years ago, I bought a neglected 2010 Cadillac DTS that needed a lot of help to get back on the road. Ron and his team handled the job skillfully, and best of all, it didn't break the bank. What really sets this shop apart is the personal, one-on-one attention you get from either Ron or Corwin. They're honest, straightforward, and genuinely care about their customers. Ron won't upsell you or tack on extras you don't need--he tells you exactly what your car needs, prioritizing your safety and making sure your vehicle is reliable for everyday life. I especially appreciate the clear, detailed text updates about recommended repairs. Approving work is easy and hassle-free, thanks to their transparent communication. Since Ron Catt Auto serviced my Cadillac back in 2023, it's been running like new. And the price was much lower than what a dealership would have charged. Recently, I took my Buick Regal in for service and was impressed by the extra attention it received. Another great perk: you earn 2% reward points on your service--how awesome is that? I just bought a 1992 Cadillac DeVille, and there's no one else I'd trust to care for my pride and joy. Thanks, Ron and team! Like Tina Turner said, "You're simply the best!" And if you get a chance to meet Corwin, ask him about his passion for Dungeons & Dragons--it's a fun conversation starter. Happy driving, everyone! P.S. If I'm being honest, I still dread going to the dentist. She scares me! read more

My first visit to Ron Catt Auto Care far exceeded my expectations. Both Ron Catt and Service Adviser Corwin Sherman were courteous, professional, and had my best interests in mind when recommending service for my Subaru Forester. I appreciated their honesty and integrity. While checking in, a current Ron Catt customer delivered a massive box of bagels to thank Ron Catt and team for going above and beyond in her recent vehicle service. There is no else I will take my Subie to going forward, and I am extremely happy that my research lead me to Ron Catt. As a closing note, I met a friend for lunch and was raving about Ron Catt, and she mentioned that she has been one of their customers for over 10 years, and she has been very satisfied with the service she has received. read more

I had an unexpected maintenance emergency with my Honda Accord, and Ron Catt Auto Care absolutely came through. The staff was super efficient, beyond helpful, and incredibly kind throughout the entire process. No runaround, no pressure--just honest service and fast, high-quality work. I was in and out way faster than I expected, and they handled everything like total pros. The front desk staff took the time to explain the issue and the solution in a clear, respectful way that empowered me as the car owner. As a woman, that kind of thoughtful communication is rare and so appreciated. I will 100% be back as future car needs arise. Ron Catt Auto Care is the best! read more

I just called and spoke to Corwin, their service advisor. He was so helpful and thorough and I really appreciate him taking the time to go through the discussion of my failing VW GTI with me and what to do. He gave me the recommendation to not put money into the car because it's got so many issues and to me that's the sign of an honest shop that's serving their customers with the best guidance possible. read more

My truck died on the freeway and I don't live in Huntington. AAA brought me to Ron and in spite of being busy, He got me up and running quickly and was surprisingly affordable. Cool guy too with a very nice shop! Thanks Ron, Top Notch. read more

Took my old Ford to Ron Catt Auto today for a much needed oil change etc. They did a good job and also suggested some problems to look out for. I've been to several mechanics over the years but Ron's small unassuming shop is my favorite place for auto related repairs and Ron, himself is a great guy. I'd rate his prices vary from 'very fair' to 'way less than expected' and trust his expert analysis of what my car needs. He doesn't exaggerate what parts should be ordered. Cars are fickle machines and repairs can get pretty expensive, but imho parts and labor prices at Ron Catt's are very reasonable. Just basically it's the best shop to take your car to. (Ron's also got excellent people working the front desk , thanks Corwin) On the only negative side their parking lot is pretty small and cramped, but not the worst I've seen. It really bums me out when my car needs work, but when that happens I worry way less because I know a good mechanic! read more

Ron Catt is a great place to bring your car if you live in the Huntington Beach area. Came in for a complementary 40 point AAA nspection and was amazed at how thorough his mechanic was. They took photos of all the diagnosis like a dentist would take a photo of your teeth so you can visualize what problems are instead of just blindly diagnosing and hoping you just trust their word. I also got a ride home and back with Ron himself. I am happy to find a new trustworthy place to take my car. The wait is long but I don't mind waiting if the real problems with my car are addressed. You also get a detailed printout and explanation of what your car may need. Now I feel really safe with my car on the road. They offer Yelpers 10% off services too. Happy Yelping! read more

Ron Catt Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

See all

My family and I have been going to Ron Catt Auto Care for years for oil changes and I figured it was about time I left a review as I just had some more extensive work done. I got an oil change, transmission fluid change, AC repair and some brake work. The team was really communicative and even followed up with me multiple times on a part I needed. One thing I loved was how they used tech to make everything easier--they sent me a quote straight to my phone with pictures, so I could approve it right there. Super convenient! Overall, they're always friendly, professional, and the work gets done quickly. If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust and who makes things simple, definitely give Ron Catt Auto Care a try! read more

Very professional, fair and honest. Clean shop and grounds. Ron Catt Auto Care has won my business over.

It was easy making an appointment. The staff knew my information easily each time I called them. They were straightforward with the repairs that needed to be done and provided pictures for context. Ended up costing less than expected. read more

I am so impressed with Ron and his team at Ron Catt Auto Care and highly recommend his shop! I don't live in the area and was looking for a pre-purchase inspection of a used car I was interested in from a local dealer. I searched for a reputable and honest mechanic in Huntington Beach and Ron Catt was at the top of the list. Now I know why. Ron was extremely helpful and asked me all sort of really good questions. He suggested I get a report from autocheck to make sure the history of the used Toyota Tacoma was clean before I invested in an inspection. I took his advice and the report came back very positive and I set up an appointment the next day to have the truck inspected. Ron and his tech spent several hours looking over everything and test driving it. The diagnosis report was very thorough, compete with photos of all areas checked. Ron was very transparent and honest and I felt much more confident purchases the vehicle. I only wish I lived closer as its a huge relief when you can find a reputable, family owned auto shop with super knowledgable staff who are honest, fair, and all around great people. read more

First time customer, whole experience was quick and simple. I had my car looked over by Corwin and was able to quickly identify the issue. He kept me informed throughout the process and was in and out in no time. Overall very helpful and professional environment. read more

Their last car service was less comprehensive compared to previous years. Before this last visit, I would have given 5 stars.

I called Catt in search of someone to weld a gas tank for my motorcycle.. Ron was very helpful and said he had just the guy. He gave me Jim's info over at Shirley Design and Jim was indeed just the guy. I am grateful to Ron for his help and will be going to Catt next time I need an auto shop. read more

Not exactly what I expected this time. I paid $170 for a diagnostic check when we all knew what the problem was i.e. a leaky gasket. Then they wanted $755 to fix it. I found a guy who did it for $320. Then they said I had a bad battery and a burned out brake light and quoted outlandish prices to remedy it. I checked the brake light and it was fine and the battery showed up as good with a test at AutoZone. I would not recommend this shop and I'd really like my $170 refunded as it seems it was for nothing. read more

We just recently moved to Huntington Beach and my boyfriend searched for a place with the best reviews. Ron and his crew did not disappoint from the minute. I dropped off the car. I realized that Corwin was a service writer/coordinator. This was quite a refreshing change from smaller auto repair shops, who seem to have a receptionist or one of the mechanics from the back coming out to talk to you. Ron came out and personally introduced himself and thanked me for choosing them. The repair was done in less than two days and I'm looking forward to using the rewards program. they have to offer! I highly recommend you bring your car here and become a lifelong customer. read more

We love this car shop. They are very friendly and their work is reliable. I searched around and tried a lot of places but this place is the best in the huntington beach area. The parking lot always has a place to park and they are always ready to help when needed. I always call ahead and they let me know if I can come and take it in or if they are booked and can't take it today. They usually can take it in to get it serviced that day. The other thing that I like about this place is that they don't push you to get things done and they are very transparent about what is needed now and what can wait to be fixed later. They always give you a print out of all the work that they did and also have suggested fixes or things to look out for. This is our go to spot to fix our cars and get oil changes. read more

First off, these guys are AMAZING!!! These are the type of guys you want to work on your vehicle. Their customer service is fantastic. These guys answered all my questions and even gave me a breakdown of what happened to my car. They conducted their repairs in accordance with the technical manual and even showed me documents of the results. But the one thing that impressed me the most was the fact that they, listened to me. This reason alone made me decided that these guy are going to be my mechanics from now on. They listened to what I had to say rather than trying to upsell me, unlike Elmore Toyota. They went above and beyond during their repairs and inspection. They even called me about problems that could arise and asked me if they wanted them to repair it. From everything they've said, they did not once try to sell me on any product. They gave me an honest breakdown of my car and what maintenance needs to be done, or what they recommend. They prioritized my priorities first. They made me feel welcomed. For that, I can't recommend these guys enough. If you are looking for an auto care shop that cares about you and your vehicle, these are the guys for you. read more

Customer service was right away great! Cowrin communicated what my car needed besides the oil service. I felt taken care of with the value provided and the service I received! They are professional and clean! I will be changing my services to this auto care! Thank you! read more

I found this business to be honest and made sure I understood my car's problem. They sent photos along with the complete estimate. They also offer a AAA-discount. read more

Best. Service. Ever. Ron and his team are incredibly helpful and want to do what's best for you. I am new to the area and I brought in a car from a car lot for inspection; it was a lemon, and Ron was upfront and honest telling me that the car was not safe. After returning that car and bringing in a second car for inspection, all checked out and they were able to do some preventative maintenance on the car for me. As a young woman, I appreciate honesty and open communication instead of someone trying to take advantage of a young woman; I am excited to continue working with them in the future. read more

Friendly and welcoming front desk. Great value with customized service. Repairs done in a timely manner.

I have been going to Ron for a few years now and they do excellent work and are honest to this girl who knows little about cars. Clean, quick and professional. He always sends photos of problem areas so you see for sure why he wants to fix that particular issue. He "rates" problems that need repairs by what needs to be done immediately and what can wait and gives accurate estimates of how much and when things will be done. Friends and family also have been to him and love his work. Another BIg perk! If you live close they will pick you up and drop you off if you can't get a ride to and from his shop. read more

Great service! I really appreciated that they did my oil change and checked out my car for any additional issues, but did not pressure me to do more services at that time. It's difficult to find good service like this and Ron the owner is very nice! read more

My experiences with Ron and Corwin :)) have been more than wonderful , such great service, and are patient with all the overloaded questions I had. I'm extremely pleased with them. read more

I love coming here. I have brought my car (Nissan 370z) to Ron Catt when I moved to Huntington Beach four years ago and would not even consider bringing it anywhere else. They have fixed things from tire replacements to transmission fluid and breaks. They are always able to fit me in when I am having an issue or worry and able to work with me when I'm on a tight budget. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming and I know my car is getting the best care it deserves. Will continue coming here for years to come. Thanks Ron and the team you have here. It's always a pleasure! read more

Tried to support a local business , but was LIED to and my car was returned worse than when i dropped it off. I went in for battery drain and was quoted an amount that left me with my jaw open, so i decided to get the part myself and still work with Ron Catt to have this installed. After the part got installed and the car returned, i noticed the dash looked like a T-REX had a field day with it. It was gashed up, put on crooked, and the trunk button was left unplugged so the trunk didn't open. This was 1000% operator error. I respectfully addressed these issues with Corbin ( kid at front desk ) and he assured me that it was my cars fault since it was so old. i have the video of this if anyone wants to see . I was left speechless , as Corbin became verbally abusive and telling me this situation was my fault. I then spoke to Ron Catt himself and he took blame for the employee who took off my dash. He said this guy shouldn't have taken it off as he wasn't experienced enough to do this . Again, i was left speechless. I asked to have my dash replaced and the best he would do would be to have it repaired. I reluctantly agreed. 2 weeks later i get back to see my dash was "fixed" with black toothpaste by a "professional" . I will NEVER do business with Ron Catt again. Beware of the lies and deceit from this auto mechanic. ZERO STAR. read more

Ron literally saved me. I had my car at my normal shop that I thought was capable of of fixing my car but after two days of the other shop I had enough they ruined my car and they wanted to attempt a third time to fix it. That's when I got my dad on the phone to have him research a different shop. That's when I took my car to Ron. Truly amazing experience very thorough and kept in touch with me the entire day to keep me posted. He took photos as well so that I can get my money back from the other shop. So if you need a great mechanic Ron Catt auto care is the place to go. I took it on for just the things that were messed up but trusted him so much that I finally trusted him to do my other maintenance that I've been waiting to do. Thank you so much Ron, sorry for the late post. read more

Brought SUV in for alignment. Excellent knowledgeable friendly professional service. Highly recommended.

Took my vehicle to this place expecting a great job, however it was awful. I was charged $200 to simply have someone plug in a computer and check the engine. I went to pick up my car at the end of the day and the front desk guy (not Ron) was very rude. He insulted my car stating it was old and what else could I expect. Then when on to say it needed a new turbo, when it did not. He was quoting me $3,500 for this when I knew it was a sensor that only needed to be replaced. He then recommend for me to get rid of my car. I told him it was only a sensor, and then he changed his mind and said it was a valve that needed to be replaced. Finally, he said it could also be a sensor. He was so unprofessional and I would not recommend this place. I was charged a ridiculous amount of money for a diagnostic. I have never been quoted such a price. Don't go here. read more

Amazing service! Appreciate the constant communication from Ron and his team on the status and updates they did on my vehicle. My car has always been a tricky one to fix and would leave it at places for weeks at a time without hearing anything so it's good to know I finally found a mechanic that it would be in good hands with and don't have to stress about it. read more

I came here this week for brakes and tires on my Toyota mini- van. The front desk guy, Corwin was super helpful and patient with me. I felt like their prices were honest and fair. He let me know what needed to be done right away and what could potentially wait if I needed to. Service was quick and my brakes and new tires feel great! I will definitely Continue to use Ron Catt for future auto service repairs! read more
