    Taps auto is the best in the West. Straight outa Long Beach. Seriously though I trust this man with my life. Class act.

    They really do treat you like family. I've been using Tap for years for my cars and trucks. I trust him more than the dealership. In fact I wont buy a car unless I know he will work on it. Love these guys, I drive from Murrieta to go to him.

    These guys saved me today!! I was on my way to give a Covid-Test and realized my tire pressure was very low. My car was rattling & rolling. I pulled in, they spotted the nail and fixed it in about 5 minutes and only charged me $10. Such friendly & helpful service. I love this place!!!

    Used Yelp's business finder to get a few quotes for my two non-working low beam headlights, and…read morethis shop stood out right away. They responded quickly, were courteous, and didn't try to tack on a diagnostic fee just to take a look. When I dropped off the car, the technician walked me through their process, starting with the bulbs before moving into any potential electrical issues (which I really appreciated.) It ended up being the simplest fix: both bulbs were burned out. They had everything replaced within a few hours. Fair pricing, clear communication, and no upselling. I'll definitely be back for future repairs. Side note- they have the cutest shop kitten. ‍

    I had been here once before and had a great experience, so when my car's AT light went on…read moreunexpectedly one night I called them first thing the next morning to see if they could get it in. They said they could and gave me a timeline for working on the vehicle that matched my needs. While I appreciate them getting me in on short notice, they consistently over-promised and under-delivered on when they would be able to work on my vehicle. They were able to diagnose a couple of leaks that they thought were the problem and sent me photos to show me what they were looking at. In the past when I've left my car at this shop for work they sent over a detailed estimate before starting the work, but this time I only received the verbal estimate over the phone. I drive an old car, which isn't worth much, and I did let the person know that I wasn't interested in investing more in repairs than the vehicle is worth. As it was, the two leaks were just over $1K to fix, and I OK'd the work to begin. After fixing the first two leaks, they then came back and told me there was a third leak, which would require a more major repair to the transmission and they would have to have their transmission person (who wasn't there that weekend) send me an estimate the next day. While I understand that it's plausible that the third leak wasn't something they could have originally diagnosed, it felt a bit weird that the photo they used to show me the leak was one of the original photos they had sent before starting any work. If the leak was visible in that photo, I'm unclear why they couldn't have diagnosed it earlier. The added cost of this additional repair definitely tips the scales of worth-it/not-worth-it to repair vs replace this car, so I wish I had had all the information before deciding to make the initial repairs. Unfortunately, despite stabilizing the ATF level, fixing the leaks did not resolve the transmission issue. On a smaller scale, they didn't check or top up the tire pressure, which most mechanics I've gone to have done as a courtesy when working on my vehicle. The day after I picked up my car the tire pressure light went on, and when I checked my tires all four of them had low pressure. It's a small thing, but especially when dealing with expensive mechanical items like cars, the small things matter a lot in creating a sense of security and trust with your mechanic. They did mention that they were under new management since the last time I had been in, which may account for the different experiences.

    I rarely ever leave reviews of places but I was blown away by the service I received here…read moreyesterday. The owners Kevin and Christy are very kind and knowledgeable. I went in because I was hearing an odd sound coming from my brakes and the dealership couldn't figure out what it was. They were going to charge me $300 to have a specialist take a look at it but I decided to just bring it here instead. Right away Christy took my information down and listened to my concerns. Kevin and their mechanic (I think his name was Francisco but I could be wrong) were able to determine where the noise was coming from within 15 mins of inspecting it. Kevin let me know what parts of my car would need some work in the near future. But what shocked me was they took the time to sand down one of my rotors free of charge. After that the noise stopped! I'll never forget their kindness and even though i'm moving away from the area soon i'll always recommend them to friends and family near Long Beach in the future.

My car is in its 8th year so I'm starting to have a lot of other maintenance issues so I'm glad I found a shop so close to home. Kevin and his team are awesome! Reasonably priced, honest, straight to the point, and I felt very comfortable during all my interactions with them.
