Everyone in the shop was super friendly, and having my car serviced here was a great experience! Bryce helped fix an issue on my car that needed to be welded, and he did so with precision and speed. If you're looking for a friendly staff and quick service, Stewart's is your place! read more

I have a car that's been driven hard and put up wet. For the repairs I needed I expected to sell the farm but that wasn't the case. I was relieved that it didn't need to amputation of major components and I was actually happy on the cost of what was found. Great job guys and thank you!! read more

This was the closest mechanic i can bring it to because i needed to change my radiator cap. For both the cap and "labor" they charged me $209 mainly coming from "labor". Fast forward to August and my car starts overheating and i take it to my trusted and reliable mechanic who says that whoever put the radiator cap on my car used a cheap and poor quality one which resulted in coolant leaking out. My mechanic only charged me $22 to change the cap and installed a high quality cap. Needless to say i'm extremely disappointed and unsatisfied with my visit here and will not be coming back and would never recommend anyone to visit this shop. read more

Stewart's Automotive is responsive and efficient. I've been taking my car here for years and have always had good experiences.

Service is impecable. Hilary is the best. I've been taking my 20 + year old cars to her to keep em alive and they're still kicking. I've tried to shop her quotes a couple of times and she always has the best prices in the area. they're very concise and honest read more

Always great service all around! Courteous and friendly staff taking care of you the moment you walk in. read more

Great customer service . Awesome crew . I was recommend to Stewart's by my co worker because he had such a positive experience here. They didn't disappoint at all. I'll definitely be making this my go to spot for any automotive repairs needed . read more

I've owned and daily-driven my 1969 Mustang for over 15 years, and during that time, I've always handled the mechanical work myself. I'm very particular about who touches my cars--but with a busier schedule, the Mustang had fallen behind on maintenance. I was referred to Stewart's Automotive by another fellow car enthusiast, and I'm so glad I listened. Stewart's is one of those rare shops that's honest, reliable, and professional. They're not the cheapest and not the most expensive--but their prices are honest, and the value you get for the quality of work, transparency, and customer care is absolutely worth it. Before bringing them my Mustang, I started taking my now-wife's 2012 Ford Focus there. Her previous mechanic of many years was overcharging and not being fully transparent. I asked around for a shop that people truly trusted, and Stewart's kept coming up. Now they're the only place we take our cars. They took excellent care of my Mustang--addressed everything it needed to get back on the road and made thoughtful recommendations that happened to match things I was already planning to tackle. That gave me even more confidence in their knowledge and integrity. I've also seen some of the work they've done in the shop, and I have to say--it's highly impressive. These folks clearly know their craft and take real pride in what they do. Stewart's Automotive has earned my full trust. It's a diamond in the rough among all the other shops I wouldn't trust with a screwdriver. I'll go with Stewart's every time. Ask for Hilary, she and their techs are the best! read more

Great service, fair prices. Highly recommend. I have a classic car with an upgraded drive train. They were able to figure out the issues and take Alvaro of it quickly for me. read more

Went to get my brakes taken a look at and they told me my intake manifold needed new gaskets on a Chevy 350 engine they wanted $1650 to change out two gaskets and tighten three screws on my muffler. Wow talk about trying to take advantage of a customer, they charged $150 just to tell me my intake had a leak. Wow I would not recommend this shop to anyone they over charge to pay for their Snap on Boxes. read more

I am saddened to see some of the bad reviews, I just sent one of my friends that are new to the area to Stewart's literally 5 minutes ago. Hilary is the best and the prices may seem a bit at times but in comparison to other places I have found not so much. They do great work, fast friendly and to me they are extremely honest. They do not BS and try to sell something you don't need. If they take long it is because they are so busy. I have not seen them have a slow day. I would not take my car anywhere else. TY Stewart's for the yrs of great service! read more

Great service. I had a huge bad experience with a GMC dealership with diagnosing my truck. I got recommended to this repair shop and I'm so glad I came here. I live in OC and worth the commute to get a real trustworthy opinion by a professional you can count on. Amazing work and most of all they don't waste your time with run around With bad misleading information. Reliable technicians and great front office help. I highly recommend. read more

This place is so honest!!! They went out of their way to check everything on my ac unit and found the problem... fixed it quick and charged me so much less than any other place had quoted me. Most shops would have just told me I needed a new unit but not here. I'm bringing my car back on Monday to get an oil change and get everything else serviced so I can bring them a thank you gift!!! They're open every Saturday except the second Saturday of the month too! Hillary was so helpful even from my first call with her. So many people came in while I waited on my car and each customer said they've been coming here for years and now I know why! I'll be a lifer here with Stewart's Automotive and you should be too. So hard to find people like these and I'm SO GLAD I DID! Make an appointment for early on if it's a bigger job you need finished same day. They open every day at 7 so come on down and get taken care of!!!!! read more

Stewart's Automotive - Waiting area. Keeping everyone healthy by wearing my mask! - Auto Repair Near Me - Downey, California

Went in for my car due to smelling of gas. They were honest and fast. Fixed the leak and piece was reasonable

For the POC who may be looking: they were nice but this is definitely MAGA-land and I was sitting in the lobby during a brake inspection listening to them and their friend who dropped by talk about how their other friend probably died because she's had too many vaccines and I'm getting extremely uncomfortable listening to them continue to talk about sensitive subjects in the least empathetic way I've ever heard. I left after they gave me an estimate because I can't ethically give them my money but ALSO because I had already been offered a significantly better deal on my brake job read more

I'm really happy with the service I received at Stewart's Automotive. I ended up here by mistake (not in a bad way, I was trying to find another automotive repair place and ended up here). I walked in and Hillary immediately welcomed me. I told her my car needed a battery replacement and she checked to make sure they had the right battery for my car. Once she secured that, she asked me to pull my car out to the front and a mechanic was ready and waiting. It was a quick and painless process. I know going to a mechanic can be anxiety inducing for women. The facility was clean and it had a friendly and professional atmosphere. I was in and out in 20 minutes with a brand new battery. I will definitely visit Stewart's Automotive again in the future and I can see why they have such great ratings ! read more

I had a very good experience with Stewart's Auto! Emailed yesterday about my problem and Hilary got back to me immediately! I was able to get the car in this morning and was in an out before I knew it. They found the problem and were able to help me out then and there unlike the Chevy dealer that wanted a $200 diagnostic fee and would have been without a car for a week. Recommend this place very much will be coming here from now on for all my maintenance. read more

I have been a customer for over fifteenth years and they run a very professional business Hillary runs the office and is a true professional and a sweetheart and Jeff the owner is so very knowledgeable on every aspect of repairs They have all the current equipment to effect any repair and keeps our vehicles in great shape The techs are well trained and show respect to all the customers Thank You Denny read more

I received great service from start to finish. Hillary was friendly and helpful on the phone. She was straightforward in giving an approximate price estimate and scheduled me in right away. After diagnosing the problem they got back to me promptly and i was able to pay over the phone and make arrangements for car pick up on the same day. They fixed what i needed: knock sensor replacement, crusted battery leads, and tacking back the splash shield which was falling off. Everything went so smoothly, and my car runs great! I had tried a couple other places before and i got the runaround once i started asking for an estimate and asking questions, so i greatly appreciate how welcoming and capable Stewarts Automotive was. Thank you very much. read more

Let me just start with the great customer service Hillary provided. She was so nice and quick responding. She is willing to work with you and very considerate. Months back they did a great job updating my 1973 Pontiac drum brakes to disc brakes and tuned it up. They did a great job, all the new parts and lines where ran neatly. I have been driving my car and it's been great no issues at all. This week I took my 2007 GMC Canyon. In a nutshell I made a mistake purchasing this vehicle without properly checking the vehicle. They disabled the check engine light and it had issues so it didn't pass smog. I told them my situation and they truly came through and worked with me. They had to do an extensive repair and worked on the price to help me out. They even repaired the check engine light for free. I can't thank them enough. Thank you Hillary! read more

A lot of people in my community referred me over to this place and I'll never do business with them.. I had a tow truck take my car to them ONLY because I was guaranteed that it would be fixed today. I had the vehicle taken in at 11 only to be told at 4 that they would need it over night because the part was "defective". I get it things happen.... Then one of the techs comes on the line and says a bunch of BS that contradicted what the lady in the front said. Makes no sense , I really wanted to give this place a shot but unfortunately it seems as if they have VERY bad business practices... I rather take my business elsewhere and continue to not give recommendations to my community. read more

No issues to report. Had my truck there for a diagnosis. Found the issue, fixed it for fair price. What else do you want.

I have been coming here for YEARS because they're nice, they're knowledgeable and best of all they're honest! I highly recommend Stewart's.

AMAZING service, the receptionist is very sweet. & she made sure everything was done in a timely manner so we didn't have to wait long at all. Overall greatest service I've had at an automotive shop read more

Oil change review: I was recommended to this shop by NAPA Auto & boy was I happy I did. I came in @ 1130am & immediately mechanic approached me asking how "he could help me". I told him I needed an oil change. He was to nice enough to tell me that, they were gonna break for lunch to come back in haft N' hour, so I didn't have to wait. I came back around 12:00pm & they took my car immediately. They did a thorough check on my car. Tire pressure, filters and etc & oil change. I personally spoke with Jeremy & he was so nice and informative with cars & the process and such. Greeeeeaaat customer service!!!! Also, the tattooed young guy that helped me, thanks! NOTE: I'm a female who went into a auto shop alone w/out a male, who knows not one thing about a car but putting gas in & driving. I was afraid of getting ripped off , but it's an oil change and honestly they seemed legit & honest. I will be back w/all my car needs. I trusted them in the care of my car. Honest shop w/great prices! Happy :) read more

I made an appointment to come in and get my 1951 chevy checked up since I just bought it. It had a leak and the shifter was acting up. They called me a few hours since the car still had most of the original parts, they rather not get Into it. They tighten up my shifter to help me out. Everyone was friendly but too bad it didn't work out. I feel others would of just taken the job for the money and would of continued to have issues with the car. They had some classic cars they were working on so it was not about skills. read more

The best place with no BS pricing and great customer service for your car! I always recommend this place to my friends and family since they won't have to ever worry about getting haggled. Hillary at the front desk is also the best! read more

Yeah the quote was overpriced. They are nuts for charging people what they charge. But if you can get away with it I guess so be it. Not getting my money from me. I went to my usual mechanic got it done for Half the price read more

Thank you Stewart's. Took my kids car in and it was quick and they were reasonable. They assessed car and called us right away with the issue found, fixed it, and done in one day. Based on my experience, I would come here again. I chose this place based on Yelp reviews. read more

I came in for a diagnosis on my vehicle and although I have not yet committed to the repair, I have to say I had a pleasant experience here. This business was friendly and extremely attentive to all the details of what would be required for my repair. When I do decide to repair my vehicle I will be visiting them again. read more

I had issues with my car and I took it to the dealer and they were suggesting a complete engine rebuild. So I did some research and decided to get a second opinion. I took my car to STEWARTS AUTOMOTIVE and they fixed the issue same day! I will definitely be taking my car to them in the future not only great service but they are open Saturdays which most shops are not and that's usually when people have time to get their cars serviced. Thanks again to Hilary and the mechanics @ STEWARTS AUTOMOTIVE read more

They are awesome. I've gone here for years because of the great customer service, they are quick to fix your car, and they don't ever nickel and dime you. They always find a way to give you the cheapest options. read more

Jeremy is the absolute best. My piece of shit car broke down while I was driving up to Santa Barbara from San Diego. I got it towed to Stewart's Auto right as they were closing for the night. Jeremy and his buddy who worked there could have been major a-holes and peaced out ASAP, but instead, Jeremy took a look at my car to give me an idea of what was going on. Turns out the transmission needed to be replaced and the cost to fix it was reasonable, but it was going to cost more than my shitty car was even worth. So I decided to sell my car to one of those fast/cheap car websites that pick up, tow, and pay you on the spot for your heap of junk. Due to the holiday and weekend, I had to wait SIX days, meaning my car was sitting at Stewart's for that long. Stewart's Auto made absolutely ZERO money off of me, but they were still kind enough to NOT charge me a fee to keep my car at their shop in the interim. That's impressive. Also, I accidentally left a very important envelope in my car. I called Jeremy and he checked to make sure the envelope was there. He graciously offered to keep it in the safe at the shop until I could come back and get it. Even though I didn't have any work done on my car, the people at Stewart's (especially Jeremy) are HONEST and DEPENDABLE. I know this based off my many interactions with them regarding what I was going to do with my car. Jeremy's consistently positive attitude and helpfulness went above and beyond the norm. Make sure to check these guys out next time you want reasonable, honest and down to earth people working on your car. I really can't say enough good things about them. Thank you! read more

Just dropped of my Toy YARIS :( I know its in good hands... Will update you as soon as i get a diagnosis. Symptom NO START!!! Sry forgot about the update: i got a phone call from Stewart's auto that day: They could have said it was the fuel pump, starter, etc... you now something major but they DIDN'T. it simply was out of gas (damn digital fuel gauge),these guys are awesome!!! Use THEM!!! read more

Been taking my car to Stewart's since I arrived to Downey, 11 years ago. Today they told me I needed a catalytic converter, which ran $1,100 for just the part. Told the manager I'd think about it. An hour later, I got a call from the shop, saying they found a place that installed certified used parts and the repair would total $560 (parts, labor, tax). I just needed to call and let them know Stewart's had sent me. What other shop would do that for you? As a female, I've never felt taken advantage of, the prices are reasonable, and they often finish the work well within the estimated time given. read more

It is nice to have a site where things can be tweaked. Sometimes in life things are written in stone, not so Yelp. Our family has had an association with Stewart's Auto for many years. With an independently owned business there are ebbs and flows in life and good rapport has always existed between our family and the young man of the new generation who is doing such a nice job. When my husband died a few years back I was like a deer in the headlights - running on automatic pilot. My children at home were not old enough to drive and there were times I had no way to or from, depending on which leg of the journey we were looking at. I was never left stranded and they were nice enough to be sure I was taken care of, out of their affection for my husband, me and our children. I wish to say thank you. From the heart- that kind of a thank you, not the kind where we jump out of the vehicle and the quick thank you by me was said. I really do appreciate that help in the transition time of my life. All people are treated with equal respect, whether needing the minimum basics or a more extensive job completed. They do it all and have a dedicated person for the phones, Hillary. She is personable and well matched to her job. In that way the mechanics are not constantly having their workday projects interrupted to take a call. Most importantly, Stewart's Auto is as honest as the day is long. Location is in center portion of Phlox, that street all us Downeyites take as a shortcut between Paramount and Downey! Right at the curve you will see it, always clean and professional looking. I thank Stewart's Auto for every consideration And, wish them nothing but a continued successful business. read more

Quick and reasonably priced service. I got an initial quote by email and scheduling an appointment was easy. I recommend Stewart's Automotive. read more

Awesome shop. Dropped off my gals Jeep for a heck engine light and rough running engine. While on the flat bed tow truck I discovered we got a little too crazy off-roading due to the wires ripped off from the O2 sensor. Dropped the Jeep off and advised the guys of what I found and the possible need for a tune up since its been awhile. Got a call a from Jeremy who advised me that it was only the O2 sensor and that the plugs were good...no need for a tune up. I appreciate their honesty. A lot of shops would do the tune up simply because I asked .... Even though there was no need. These guys will be getting my business and referrals. Thanks guys read more

Stewart's Automotive - I wonder why she's running rough - Auto Repair Near Me - Downey, California

My 80 CJ5 has been sitting in my garage for a few years. I havn't had the time to tinker with it. I needed a tune up, the turn signal lever was broken, and the brakes were losing pressure. A business associate recommended I vist Stewarts. The garage itself was clean ,organized and secure. The staff looked professional and conducted themselves like they had a purpose. Jeremy was extremely friendly personable, and pleaseant to deal with. He's a solid guy. The work was done in a timely manner. And the CJ performs well. Jeremy did not try to sell me anything. When I explained I was on a tight budget, they only addressed what I needed to have done. The pricing was fair and reasonable . I was extremely satisfied and feel I can trust them to be honest . The location is a little far from my home, but I found myself a new mechanic. If your looking for an honest, fair,and reasonable shop with excellent customer service... I recommend visiting Stewarts. read more

If you just come by without an appointment I'm not sure if you can just get in and out quick . Thank guys for the great job . Price was great . read more
