I don't like leaving bad reviews unless I really have to. I went with Off Road Werkz because I…read morewould like to support local businesses as much as I can. I had them work on my Jeep Wrangler. I work on my Jeep but I don't have time to work on it as much as I use to, this was 4 years ago. I had them changed my ball joint and lift my Jeep from 2.5 to 3.5. I was told that they work on a lot of jeeps. I started to question them in my head when they've never heard of Rock Krawlers and Synergy. in off road world, those are well known off road brands. I brushed it off thinking knowing the brand isn't important. When I got my jeep back, I noticed that my tie rod shock bolts were mounted incorrectly. I fixed, didn't give a bad review. The other thing is that, when changing suspension, mechanics usually put a mark when it's torqued. They didn't do that. I checked the torque and I marked it myself when I got home. Fast forward to now, my mechanic (different mechanic) was changing my brakes. Had it on the lift and my tires were wobbling. Ball joint is bad. I knew something didn't look right when I was inspecting it beck then but I haven't changed before so I couldn't say. My mechanic tells me it was installed backwards and it wasn't locked in. Again, I don't like giving bad reviews, these are just my experience and possibly just bad luck on my end but in Jeep that you off road, suspension is key and it has to be done right. Off Road Werkz isn't for me but it might for someone else. I have nothing against them. I've found my local mechanic that I trust, he takes photos and sends them to me as he works on it.

As of a few months a go I went to Sergio's Auto Repair to get a transmission looked at for my…read moremother's Van. (And to be fair Sergio seemed to be a bit boggled by the issue I brought him but he still went ahead and did a repair...) Fast forward a few months and the issue still persisted, and the transmission ended up not shifting into other gears, so I ended up taking it to a specialty transmission shop yesterday (03.18.2026). All in all I would recommend this shop but maybe just for simple repairs and nothing too out of the ordinary since they do not specialize in any particular area of autos. *Also, it would've been better if they just said that they dont or wont touch the transmission. Unfortunately the repair that was done here may have ultimately damaged the internals because of lack of knowledge with this vehicle. *On another note, I called the number provided on Yelp (and also what I had saved on my phone) and another "Sergio" answered claiming to be a car wash person and he was confused on how I got "his" number. If they did change the number they should disclose it on Yelp so others wont call the wrong person/ repair shop. (Number I called was 805.483.7901 as it shows on Google and Yelp.) This is not to bash anyone, im simply stating that if a shop is not knowledgable on a particular vehicle they (the shop) can choose to offer the client an alternative shop instead of taking on work they cant fulfill or diagnose correctly. The value was alright all things considered.

I have been a customer of Sergio's for nearly 20 years, and the crew--Chava, Cuco, and…read moreEddie--consistently provide excellent work, friendly service, and decades of experience. Their prices are fair and honest, and even minor mechanical repairs are completed much faster than what I've experienced at most dealerships. In all these years, I only had to bring my car back once, and it turned out the issue was completely unrelated to the original repair. One experience that really stood out happened years ago when my car key broke off in the trunk lock. A mobile locksmith quoted me $250 to remove the broken piece and make a new key. Instead, I took the car to Sergio's. Chava came out with a small tool, removed the broken key in less than five minutes, and had me on my way. He didn't charge me a dime. That kind of honesty, professionalism, and customer service is hard to find these days, which is why I continue to trust Sergio's with my vehicles.

I was referred by America's Tire so it just seemed like a good recommendation and easy cuz they were right next door. I don't think are just about the money and profit. I don't think they gouge. I think they just value their higher level of service and quality. I just regret not taking it to my normal tire and brake guy because he is A Lot Cheaper I believe. My guy just isn't as professional... but I believe I paid top dollar and wish I went some place cheaper without the high end service. ChatGpt cost range makes me feel gouged. My bad, shame on me. Good luck.

Really happy with my experience at Williams Automotive. My radiator randomly blew during lunch one…read moreday and I had coolant everywhere. I had no idea where to take my car on such short notice, but I called them and they told me to bring it in so they could take a look. The next morning Scott called me and explained what needed to be done. I gave them the okay, and my car was ready just a few hours later. I also looked around and got a few quotes from other shops just to see if the price was fair, and Williams Automotive ended up being the best price by far. They also let me know my transmission fluid was really dark, which honestly wasn't surprising since I had never changed it. I came back for that service and an oil change, and once again everything was done quickly and for a really good price. Everyone I've dealt with there has been friendly and helpful. The lady in the office is also super nice, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, I'm really happy with the service, price, turnaround time, and customer service. I usually take my cars to bigger chain shops, but after coming here, I'd much rather keep bringing them to Williams Automotive.

I called Brown's Transmission and the owner talked me off the ledge and encouraged me to bring the car in for evaluation. Drove the car from Honda to Brown's and was immediately greeted by Ralph. I explained the issue to Ralph and he put the car in the lift. Took Ralph maybe three minutes to take off the plastic shield that covers the transmission and a portion of the engine compartment. Ralph brought the shield to me and showed me that there was not leakage under the transmission in the usual areas (front and aft seals I believe) which was absolutely clean but quite a bit of fluid on the drivers side of the shield. Ralph pointed his flashlight in the area of the leakage and with a couple minutes found that I had a loose transmission sensor that allowed fluid to leak. Ralph tightened the sensor and cleaned up the area as beautiful he could do that we could confirm no more leakage. I was only asked to pay $40 for the Honda fluid which was flushed. Wow! Additionally, Ralph left the plastic shield off and asked me to bring the car back in a week or two so that he can confirm the leak was fixed and would reinstall the shield. This shop provided incredible service and I have now sworn off Ocean Honda will now be coming to Brown's Transmission from now on. Incredible owner and Ralph went above and beyond to help me. Thank you Brown's Transmission!
