Very helpful and timely. I've used them a few different times for quick and easy Smog checks

"SCAMMERS" I came in for a brake and lamp Check and I gave them the run down for my car and told them I have low pressure tire sensors and a missing lug nut and they said they could fix those things before hand so they can pass me and when it came down to it the made me pay $260 and told me they can't touch my car after saying to me " we do it all there's nothing we can't do " and they sent me to hell saying they won't work on my car and all I wanted was to have my car pass so now I'm down $260 and left looking for another shop when they actually welcoming and acting like they could help but in reality they waisted my time and money ! read more

I highly recommend Rudy's. Both he and his wife, Marina, are friendly and kind. The service is flawless. The prices are fair and upfront. If you ever need a VIIS for the DMV, this is the place. They are licensed and send the results right to the DMV. read more

I am very happy I found and went with Rudy's garage. He is honest, quick & kind. I am very satisfied with the price I paid for the work that was done. Will go back if I need anything in the future and will recommend him as well. He examined my car early in the morning, I received a call by 9:30 am (he opens at 8) with what needs to be done, and his wife called me at 12:30 stating it was ready to be picked up. I'm very happy read more

I took my car in for brake light inspection. They did everything it needed to pass, I ended up needing rear brakes replaced completely. They polished head lamps. replaced couple burnt bulbs. The price was great and have had no issues w the work they did. The place is CLEAN, WELL ORGANIZED, very friendly front office. I've worked in a lot of shops. This place is amazing. I HIGHLY RECOMEND RUDYS GARAGE for your Automotive needs. S. Vanderpool read more

Excellent service. I had my brake and light inspections here. Very clean, very nice people. I definitely will go here again.

I needed a trust worthy and reliable place that would service my cars. My co-worker suggested this place that she has been coming to for years. Rudy and his wife Marina run this place and they are so nice. I personally don't know a lot about cars and Rudy takes time to explain anything you have questions about. Also, they always call to ask next steps and to see if maybe your warranty with the dealer might cover something they might do. Taken the cars in to get a couple of major things done. They replaced my timing belt on my lil Goldie car and got her all back up in shape. They are AAA recommended and they do great work. Always nice to support your local mom & pop shops! read more

Rudys Garage - Awards from AAA for 20 & 25 years of member service - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been driving by Rudy's Garage for a few years and always admired how clean and organized he was. So when my son needed a new water pump in his truck, I wanted to give Rudy my business and I couldn't be happier that I did. Rudy and his wife are very nice and he does excellent work at a very fair price. He was also able to finish up sooner than expected which was great. I love to see family-owned and operated Garages still in business these days and looking forward to bringing my other cars to him in the future. Thanks again! read more

I didn't actually have any work done by Rudy's, but I have to say, the customer service here is amazing. I called about a very specific issue. Unfortunately they couldn't service my vehicle because it runs on Hydrogen. They were very upfront and honest and referred me to a place that could help. I appreciated their time and very friendly approach. If I need a combustible engine serviced, this will be the place I go. Cheers! read more

This is a great garage. They aren't the cheapest when it comes to their hourly rate but the cost is reasonable considering their honesty and integrity. With most places, you have to be very cautions about being upcharged with unnecessary repairs, but not at Rudy's. This is a great shop that I fully trust with my business. read more

My family has been coming here for years and years. Rudy is honest!! This is key in a mechanic. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else!

Rudy and his wife Marina run one of the best and most honest repair shops around. I can't recommend them enough.

My family has used Rudy's for auto repair for over 40 years. That spans 3 generations of my family, and 3 generations of Rudys: Rudy Sr., Rudy Jr., and now Rudy III. In all that time - hundreds of visits - we have NEVER had a problem or thought any one of them was dishonest in any way. Rudy Jr., runs the shop since his dad passed many years ago, and he always explains everthing, all the options, etc. It's not the cheap shop, but if you want quality repairs, reliabilty, and honesty you'll find it here. They find the problem. They fix it. It doesn't come back. Period. Do NOT go to the big shops. Rudy has one or two mechanics working with him, and one of them is his son. That's it. That means he personally inspects every single car before it leaves. So they alwaysl to fix the problem, and they just don't make little mistakes that cause big problems. Not in my experience. In fact, I'm writing this review (finally) because my son decided to "try out a different place, geez dad!", and he took MY CAR to Pep Boys instead of Rudy....and Pep Boys forgot to put coolant in the car. Oops. So now the engine is ruined. And of course Pep Boys won't pay for the $10,000 in damage. Thank you for 40 great years, Rudy and Marina. (Can I trade you my son for a new engine.) read more

Very fair and does exactly what he says he will do. I found Rudy's to be very clean and the work to be just what I wanted.

bad service! brought a car to check before i buy they said its all good not noticing the comments i had about noises a week after had to spend $1,600 for repairing!!! gave the place an opportunity to recognize there mistake and they chose to ignore taking them to small claims very very not recommended!!!!!!!!!! read more

Have been coming to Rudys for over 5 years. He has always been honest, fair and thorough. I would recommend him highly to anyone who has a car that occasionally needs some care. read more

Being a girl I've been taken advantage of time and time again in the auto motive dept. However I not only felt like a valued customer, I was being treated with the respect my husband would get. They talked to me about what was going on. They fixed it in a timely matter and for a decent price. I will most defiantly be back with all of my vehicles as needed. It's nice to know a family business can still survive in today's world. Thanks Randy and Randy jr. You are awesome. read more

Great place, Rudy is great and the work is a no worry good job done in a very timely manner. Thanks again

We have used Rudy for 25+ years on all our cars (Honda, Mazda, Ford). Have been very pleased with the service we have received. Rudy is very knowledgable and very honest. On a scale of 1-5 stars, Rudy gets a 6. read more

Had to re register my truck as a salvage. What must be done is a inspection and certify of brakes and lamps. Should have been $115. However he stated that the brake system was leaking and had to replace rear wheel cylinders... I checked brake resovor and it was not leaking, so it did not need repair. As a result he fraudulently charged another $270 . This happened while in shop,and I had to get it done,and I had already payed for inspection. If I took it to another shop, l would have to pay another inspection fee,therefore I just paid it and left. It did not look like he even bleed the system let alone replaced wheel cylinders! This guy has been in business a long time yet he does not have very many reviews , which all happen to be good, looks like his friends and relatives! BEWARE,THIS DUD IS A CROOK WHO PRAYS ON THE UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE TO COMMIT FRAUD read more

I'm a mobile mechanic specializing in classic car wiring and plumbing. Rudy contacted me to help with a classic car he was building and I must say helping with this job was one of the most enjoyable jobs I've done for anyone. His shop is very clean and organized. His attention to detail on this classic car was incredible. When I would hear him talking to his customers he is very professional and I really liked what I heard. There's other shops I've worked for that were full of BS! Not Rudy! Really great people! read more

Honest, reliable, and good at what they do. One look will tell you they pay attention to detail. It is nice not to be worried about your mechanic. This place is a real jewel! read more

My bosses have been going to Rudy's since the 1980s. Now their kids go to Rudy's. And now I go to Rudy's. Trusted, dependable, affordable, and timely service. read more

I have been taking my cars to Rudy's for the past 10 years and have always been pleased with the service. I recently took my car for a brake check and Rudy informed me that no service was necessary and only charged me for the time to check the brakes. Many other mechanics would have created a repair to do, and Rudy is honest in all repairs. He has prevented small problems from turning into large repair bills and his spotless shop, impeccable service and prompt notifications make me glad I discovered this Costa Mesa gem. If you want a great mechanic, go see Rudy! read more
