    Outstanding! Auto Mechanics in Orange County . They have great prices and great Services. They took care of me with my 1997 ford f250HD 7.5 . I feel comfortable and safe with Elyse and Mitch working on my Ford . My truck has been driving like 1997 it's perfect. I love how they have a drop box keys and have great communication. Anyone reading this in the Ford community I highly recommend them or any other models vehicles. Socal Gearheadz #!1 keep up the great work ! you guys are the best!!

    Stand up mechanics that won't bend you over a barrel. I requested a full inspection main issue was what I thought to be suspension issues. They found my problem in under an hour and it wasn't even suspension related. 10/10 happy client.

I made an appointment with him the night prior at 10pm and he promptly came out the next day at 8:30AM to fix the issue. He retapped the threads I had stripped out and fixed it for me. He also made sure to drop my oil pan and clean out the metal shavings so they wouldn't get into the engine and put a new gasket on when he reinstalled it. He also completed my oil change. He was able to finish the work in less than 2 hours too! Thank you Jesse for your great help! You saved me!

    Really surprises me that you have time to post a long comment on a Yelp review, yet after three…read moreweeks of ignoring my calls and texts, you still can't take a moment to explain what's going on to me directly. That alone shows the type of person you are and how you treat your customers. I have screenshots of our entire conversation that I'll be attaching so everyone can see the lies you're telling. I have never gotten hostile with you I've been patient and sure I was bothered by you changing the story line every hour I have not once yelled or been unprofessional with you like I said I have all our chat history for everyone to see for themselves and see how you are just making up things to make yourself look better. To start, I told you from the beginning that I did NOT want to replace the axle. The boot just torn, and it didn't need replacing-- even Toyota recommended simply rebooting it since my truck only has 15k miles. So I'm not sure why you're lying and changing the story now. The boot and axle were both inspected by Toyota before hand they said I should just replace the boot as soon as i got a chance. As It can fully tore and grease could leak out so I've had it sitting since then to play it safe so you saying the axle was already worn is just a straight up lie. You even said being it's a new truck you shouldn't have to replace the whole axle when you showed up. As for the lug nut, I never gave you permission to damage it like you're claiming. I came outside and you were already hammering on it, struggling to take the key off. You told me it wouldn't be an issue and that once you reinstalled it, it would come right off with a couple of hammer hits -- which did NOT happen. Good thing I stopped you, because who knows what else you would've damaged. You also installed a $160 aftermarket CV axle that you purchased from O'Reilly. I'll be attaching the screenshot of that as well so everyone can see. And no, you did NOT arrive at my place "near midnight." You arrived at 9:25 PM -- I have proof of that too. The reason you were there until almost midnight was because you destroyed the threading and then sat there for almost an hour and a half trying to figure out how to fix it. I tightened the clamps because you were trying to install the axle exactly how you brought it, with the clamps loose. I told you they weren't going to hold, and you said you couldn't get them any tighter and that it was "fine." So yes, I took it upon myself to fix them because you were trying to take shortcuts to get the job done. For reference, my OEM axle costs $450 after tax from the dealership -- not including install and $70 I also spent on the rebooting kit that was also "thrown away". The one you installed only costs $160. So yes, I have already filed a police report and I am starting a court claim. See you in court. And thanks for showing everyone how you treat your customers.

    I had a really great experience at this shop and honestly can't recommend them enough. A few weeks…read moreago, my catalytic converter was stolen, and I had it replaced at another shop. After that repair, my check engine light suddenly came on--even though it wasn't on before. The first shop told me it was a problem with the mass air flow sensor and tried to charge me to fix it, which didn't feel right to me. So I decided to come here for a second opinion, and I'm really glad I did. The mechanic took the time to properly diagnose the issue and walked me through everything step by step. Within about an hour, he figured out that it wasn't the air flow sensor at all--it was just a blown fuse. That alone saved me a lot of money and potentially from being overcharged elsewhere. What really stood out was the honesty and communication. He explained clearly what went wrong, didn't try to upsell anything, and made sure I understood the situation. On top of that, he even aired up my tires for free, which was a nice touch. Fast, honest, and affordable service like this is hard to find. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this shop to others.

I found Francis through an online search because of the many positive reviews, and during our first interaction he was friendly, professional, and seemed very knowledgeable. He ordered the part directly from Acura and quoted me a fair price. My car was ready the following day, but when I arrived to pick it up, Francis informed me that my vehicle had been involved in an accident while in his care. He explained that another driver had been speeding through the parking lot and crashed into him. He gave me the other driver's information, and I contacted him immediately. The other driver gave a very different version of events. He stated that he was backing out of a parking space and did not see Francis. He also told me that Francis provided his driver's license information but refused to share insurance information. Now, more than a month later, I still have a damaged vehicle and have not received insurance information from Francis despite multiple phone calls, text messages, and outreach from Mercury Insurance. I trusted this shop to take care of my car, not return it to me in worse condition and leave me responsible for a $500 deductible. What has been most disappointing is the lack of accountability and urgency. Francis acted as though this situation was not a major concern and repeatedly assured me that the other driver would "take care of it," which has not happened. According to the other driver, Francis even asked him to change the story about what happened. I chose this business because of its strong reviews and the image Francis presents, but my experience has been extremely stressful and disappointing. I believe customers deserve honesty, transparency, and responsibility when their vehicle is in someone else's care.
