Outstanding and Honest Service!…read more ​I had been dealing with an annoying car noise for a few months and finally took it to Tokyo Automotive Repair. Tatsu helped me out and did a fantastic job diagnosing the issue. While I was worried it might be an expensive wheel bearing or suspension problem, Tatsu honestly recommended checking the tires first. ​Turns out he was 100% right! I had my tires replaced with a set of Yokohama tires, and the noise is completely gone. I truly appreciate their honesty and expertise instead of trying to upsell me on unnecessary repairs. Highly recommend Tatsu and the team!

I can't express how grateful I am for Performance Auto Repair in Costa Mesa. Even though I live all…read morethe way in Chino, something about their reviews made me feel like I could trust them -- and I was right. When my SUV overheated and the engine failed, I was overwhelmed. But the moment I spoke with them, it felt like a weight lifted. They understood exactly what was happening before they even saw the car. Instead of pushing a costly $6,000 engine replacement, Byron found a way to rebuild the engine through a machine shop, saving me thousands. That kind of honesty is rare. The repairs took time, but they never rushed. They kept us updated, checked every detail, and refused to release the vehicle until they were absolutely sure there were no leaks, no issues, no surprises. After dealing with another shop that returned our Honda Pilot with oil leaks, this level of care meant everything. What stood out most was their integrity. Their kindness. Their commitment to doing the right thing even when it takes longer or costs them more effort. If we lived closer to Costa Mesa, we'd bring every one of our vehicles here without hesitation. There truly aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am for Byron and his team. They didn't just fix my SUV -- they restored my trust in what an honest auto shop can be.

With plenty of shops nearby, I went through the reviews and Performance Auto immediately stood out. People consistently mentioned their honesty, expertise, and customer service, and my experience lived up to those reviews. They were able to diagnose and repair the issue within a few hours, kept me informed throughout the process, and clearly explained what was happening. Since several different things could have caused the leak, I appreciated how thoroughly they evaluated it and accurately identified the problem. Luckily, it turned out to be a relatively minor repair. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful during a stressful situation. The repair also cost much less than I anticipated, which was a welcome surprise. It's great to already have a local mechanic I can trust, and I'll definitely be returning to Performance Auto for any future automotive needs.

I previously left a five-star review because I had a good experience here. At the time, EU was…read morehonest enough to tell me I didn't need a tire rotation, which saved me money as a student. Because of that, I came back for multiple oil changes. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was completely different. I was charged a high price for what should have been a simple oil change and cabin/air filter replacement, and I ended up waiting about two hours for the work to be completed. After talking it through with someone more familiar with car maintenance, it became clear that I was likely overcharged for a job that should have been quicker and more reasonably priced. What made the experience worse was the interaction before my appointment. When I asked for clarification about being told I may need "air," EU laughed at me for asking. I'm neurodivergent and sometimes take things more literally, so I was just trying to confirm whether I was being charged for something that is often free. Instead of explaining, I felt mocked for asking a simple question. Because of this experience, I no longer feel comfortable or confident returning here. I'm sharing this as a caution for other customers--especially women and neurodivergent people--who may not be as familiar with car maintenance and rely on mechanics to be honest, respectful, and transparent.

My muffler, pipe, and catalic converter was jacked up. He helped me fixed the pipe and muffler the best he can and he notified me that there was still a warranty on my vehicle so he didn't touch it and he gave me fair pricing. When I took my car to Chevy, they were so unprofessional and dumb. I had James explain what's going on with my vehicle and how Chevy had to honor my warranty, but Chevy Costa Mesa were being lazy. They didn't even look at the vehicle but diagnosed it just by hearing it. I brought my vehicle back to James and he took pictures and referred me to HB Chevy and he didn't charge me. James and his shop are truly about the people and getting their vehicle fixed. His shop and customer service is something every auto shop should emulate. I will always go to this shop for my auto needs. Chevy Costa Mesa can get bent. Thank you again James for you and your crew.

I've lived in Costa Mesa for over 20 years and have always noticed this shop. I finally decided to…read morestop by and have them check out my Pacifica that was overheating and losing coolant. Daron and everyone at the front desk were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The lobby and waiting area were spotless, which made for a great first impression. What really stood out was their thorough inspection process. They provided pictures and videos showing exactly what the issues were. It's one thing to be told what's wrong, but actually seeing the proof is top-notch service. Unfortunately, my van had a blown head gasket and wasn't worth saving. However, I was so impressed with their honesty and how they handled everything that we ended up bringing in my daughter's 4Runner. They did a full inspection on the 4Runner, replaced the entire driveshaft, installed brand-new shocks and springs, and took care of several other fixes. It now drives like a brand-new car, and we absolutely love it! Our 4Runner is pushing 298k miles, and thanks to Daron and his team at Herb's Garage, we're hoping to keep it running for another 100k. Thanks, guys!
