We bought a 2023 Corolla three weeks ago, discovered the power outlet (cigarette lighter) was not working to use a USB adapter. We went back where was purchased, the car has gold certified warranty. We were told $210.00 diagnostic machine. If determined user error to damage the outlet, we'd have to pay the fee. If system malfunction, we don't pay the $210. If it was user error, it wasn't us, we've only had it three weeks. It didn't matter. We didn't want to take the chance to be told user error. All this to say, we I took the car to Ruben's. I'd rather pay them instead of Toyota service dept. Within 30 minutes, it was determined the fuse was blown, replaced on the spot! We figured it was the fuse per what we searched online. But Toyota service dept wouldn't even discuss it Wanted to share and give credit to Ruben's Automotive. We have taken our vehicles there for a while and always receive excellent service and reasonable $$. I paid less than peanuts for replacing the fuse. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

All I can say about Ruben's is These guys are awesome. They always work fast and with precision work willing to fix go the extra mile to check and fix the issues with your vehicle but never try to upsell you on further services. They are also very friendly and approachable. No wonder they are always loaded up with customers. read more

Nice bunch of mechanic's. I've taken my 2014 Chevy Malibu to them a couple of times for minor work. This time it was the air conditioner. Well it was quoted part's and labor, $1,486.76! Yikes! Plus they needed to order the compressor. Brought the car in on a Monday and picked it up today. Total was a little bit less, $1,453.13. If I had taken it to the dealership, it would have been around $4,000! No. I will gladly go back to them. Support small business! read more

My wife's older car needed an air conditioner compressor unit replaced. I located the unit on line and as soon as it arrived, we made an appointment to have it swapped out. Instead of me messing with all of the vacating and reinstalling the liquid back in, I had Rubens do it all. Reasonable and true to the estimate he had given us. 1 day was what it took and the car is good to go. Thanks! read more

If you need a GREAT mechanic with decent prices and outstanding work this is the place. I have been a long time customer of Ruben's from way back when there were two names on the business sign. Ruben has helped me out on all of my cars, and I have never had any problems or bad experiences. As far as the other person with their rebuilt engine, pretty sure the problem was mismatched parts NOT the mechanic, just because it fits doesn't always mean it's gonna work, especially when dealing with custom builds. Ruben's reputation is stellar and his professionalism even better. Service with smile is why I don't go anywhere else. David F. Madera, CA read more

Ruben is awesome! His son Matt is very helpful & knowledgeable too. They're mechanics who you can trust your vehicle with and not expect to over pay. I've been going to Rubens for years and highly recommend him to all my family and friends. A helpful, friendly, neighborhood mechanic. read more

Great local shop. Matt was able to help me right away, and get me back on the road! Customer for life.

Getting ready to leave for the holiday weekend and went to start my car and whammo... nothing. When I turned my key all i could hear was a clicking noise coming from the car. I called the local dealership and they wanted in excess if 125.00 to diagnose my car and couldn't even tell me for sure if they could get it looked at until after the holiday weekend.. I remember my mom took her car to Rubens once and she always said that she was treated like family. So I called Rubens shop and spoke to a helpful young man named Matt, he offered look at it right away. One tow truck trip later I was there. His fee to look at my car was very reasonable and he had figured out that it was only my battery. He had me back on the road in no time. Ruben has absolutely created a customer for life. Thank you Ruben. You saved my trip!!! read more

Do not use this shop. After an engine rebuild at a machine shop, Ruben could not figure out how to tune in the engine to make it run right. Didn't really seem to know how to even adjust the new carburetor. He could not fix the oil leaks. These seem like very basic jobs, so I have no idea how he is running an automotive business, but I certainly wasted the money I spent there. read more
