    I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment with the handling of a serious safety issue involving my Tesla Model Y. I purchased the vehicle in November 2023 and have been a loyal customer, loving everything about Tesla--until now. In February 2025, while reversing out of my driveway, the front driver wheel of my car COMPLETELY FELL OFF. Upon inspection, it became evident that the bolts holding the control arm had simply UNSCREWED and COME OFF. This is an alarming safety risk. I shudder to think what could have happened if this had occurred while I was driving on the freeway. After reporting the incident via the Tesla app, I was informed my car would be towed to the Tesla Long Beach Service Center. However, I soon received a call from the service center saying they couldn't accept my car due to possible fender damage. Instead, I was directed back to the app to find alternative options. 1st option was a third-party repair shop, and 2nd was the Tesla Collision Center. I chose the Tesla Collision Center, assuming this was a warranty issue given that the car was only 15 months old with 11,000 miles and no modifications or prior service. My vehicle sat untouched at the Huntington Beach Collision Center for TWO WEEKS before anyone looked at it. I was then informed that they only handle cash or insurance repairs--not warranty issues, which must be addressed at a service center. I explained that the service center had already rejected my vehicle and referred me to the Collision Center. Despite having screenshots and records as proof, I was told the matter depended on the adjuster's decision. Ultimately, the adjuster claimed the issue wasn't covered under warranty, but offered no explanation. When I sought clarity, I was met with finger-pointing between departments and vague responses. After weeks of back-and-forth emails, the adjuster informed me that it was a "corporate decision". As a result, I was forced to pay a $1,000 insurance deductible for repairs totaling approximately $7,000. Adding to my frustration, corporate finally responded with a generalized statement suggesting I should have taken my car to the service center--despite the fact that the SERVICE CENTER REJECTED MY CAR AND DIRECTED TO ME TO THE COLLISION CNETER Throughout this process, reaching a real person at Tesla was nearly impossible. I managed to connect with one representative after waiting over 3 hours on hold. I have emailed Michael M. from Tesla Corporate Resolutions multiple times and have yet to receive a response explaining why this matter isn't covered under warranty. Online forums and Reddit threads highlight this control arm issue as a recurring problem, yet Tesla appears to treat it as a minor defect. This is unacceptable for such a serious safety concern. Tesla's customer service and handling of warranty claims have been extremely disappointing, and I am deeply concerned about the company's lack of accountability for critical safety issues. I urge you to address this matter promptly and provide a clear explanation for your actions.

    we brought our vehicle to Orozco's for an electrical issue, taking a chance they could help us, and…read morewere very very happy with the service we received from the manager and the technician assigned to our vehicle. the technician needed to be a specialist (why we chose Orozco's!), and we were impressed with the roster of professionals there, as well as the expertise applied to resolving our vehicle's problems! we are very grateful for the thoughtful and timely communication and the enthusiastic personal service. i'm not going to say this happens very often, but i felt their dedication to our vehicles challenging issues likely took more time than they assessed, yet they honored their estimate and kept us informed throughout, making the value of our visit exceptional. highly recommend Orozco's, they have earned our loyalty.

    Trying this shop for the 1st time. Took in my car for a Coolant leak. It's taking a little longer…read morethan expected. They have a few unexpected and surprising problems. Not sure I agree, but I want a good shop that I can trust. So far, I have a bill of just under $2000. I truly hope the work is consistent with the price. Customer service is very fair. I would just say get pricing up front and make sure you know the prices from a dealer if going to get work on foreign cars. One acknowledgement is their desire to make sure I understood the charges and to follow through with showing me what they repaired. I appreciated the questions and the customer service. The price was still a little high but it was done and a warranty was included.

    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 brought my vehicle here for many years for routine work mostly out of convenience. What followed…read morewas a long, expensive performance art piece about how many times the same job can be done incorrectly. Highlights: Rack and pinion replaced FOUR times. Not "adjusted." Not "revisited." Replaced. Four. Times. And somehow it still wasn't right. Still feels like I'm driving a haunted house, full of surprises. Alternator replacement done with the flair of a minimalist. As in: the car left with one belt installed on a dual-belt system. Someone decided "one belt is plenty!" it's a bold, eco-friendly statement. Experimental? Sure. Functional? Only if you're into spontaneous roadside adventures. And once I decided to replace the belts myself the tensioner was missing from the assembly. Every time I'd take it in for something routine it'd come out with an additional issue. It's like a subscription box, but for mechanical failures. Warranty work that exists mostly as a concept. Multiple issues that were supposedly covered had to be chased repeatedly, re-explained, and in some cases paid for again just to get the car back. If you enjoy learning the fine art of "following up" on work that was already warranted, you'll feel right at home. The real magic is that none of this was framed as uncertainty or troubleshooting. Each visit came with confidence. Confidence is doing a lot of work here. At a certain point you stop being frustrated and start being impressed. Four rack-and-pinion attempts suggests either: 1. a deep commitment to learning by repetition, or 2. a philosophical rejection of "fixing" as a concept. Either way, I now know more about my car than I ever wanted to, which is great, except I paid someone else to know those things. If you enjoy returning to the same shop repeatedly to fix the same problem while being told this time it's definitely sorted, you'll love it here. If you want your car repaired correctly the first time or even the second time, and have warranty work honored without a prolonged correspondence, I'd recommend literally anywhere else. Including YouTube, a flashlight, and a ratchet set.
