I normally have another mechanic I go to, but he was busy and I needed an oil change/inspection before a trip. Called like 8-10 auto repair shops within the vicinity around 4pm, these guys were one of the few who actually answered the phone. The lady who answered sounded chill and helped me out quickly with getting an appointment scheduled. When I arrived for my appointment, I was met with a chill dude named Alex who was straight forward, informative, and just let me know what I need to know without pushing any extra stuff on me. Prices were fair too and they even gave me a little first time customer gift. If you don't wanna stress or be anxious about scheduling and getting your car checked out, then I'd say this place is worth going to.

The part itself wasn't expensive, but they insisted the labor was extensive and pressured me into getting it repaired immediately. not trusting my instincts but also needing my car back quickly, I went ahead with the repair. About a month later, I found out the issue was actually related to a recall. That meant I could have had the entire repair done at the dealership for free. What makes it worse is that they clearly knew something was up they even told me they had to contact the dealer for information. Because of that, I ended up paying a couple THOUSAND dollars I didn't need to spend. In hindsight, they were aware it was likely a recall and didn't disclose it properly. Very shady experience definitely go somewhere else.

Wow, first thank you Yelp for being a site where you can turn to for referrals…read more Now let me tell you my AC stopped working in my 2017 Escalade. After reviewing a few companies on Yelp, I felt the need to call. Francisco answered the phone and listened to what I was experiencing with the AC. I booked an appointment for the next morning. The shop was busy and I waited my turn in line. A few of the customers that I saw coming in had been in before for other reasons and obviously had a positive experience because they felt like they knew Alba and Francisco really well and trusted the team. Within a few minutes, my car was being looked at. I took a walk around the park, which is very close by and came back in 30 minutes and they assessed that I need a new compressor. Luckily, before I got back, Alba had already ordered it, and it was on its way taking about 30 minutes to get there. A price was quoted, and it was fair and reasonable. Because it was gonna take a few hours, my wife picked me up and we ran some errands. I received a call and it was from Alba around noon. He said they installed the new one and took it for a test drive. It worked good for a few minutes then stopped. He assess the problems already ordered a new one and said he'll have it done before the end of the day. I received a call around three saying the car will be done by four so at 3:30 I headed to the shop. The car was waiting for me out front. Alba took the time to explain what it happened. He also went above and changed many of the fittings as he seen problems with them before. He even changed one of the belts that control the compressor at no charge. Alba and his team are truly a rare find. Noticing all the workers were always engaged and working. They really have a good team. Well, in the lobby, there was a sign on the wall I read I wish I took a picture of it, but I didn't. It spoke to listen to the customer write down the problem. Assess the situation and determine the solution and communication with the customer. You can tell that this establishment embodies that culture. They do more than just AC as I heard other people were in there for brakes and other things. I definitely will recommend this company to my friends and family. This is an honest Repair shop that goes above and beyond. And towards the end, I realized they were AAA approved.

They also confirmed they could work on my Tesla Model Y, which I know not every location does. Robert took care of me when I arrived, and he was great from the start. He was super chill, honest, and easy to talk to. Since I was a new customer, he explained some Tesla-specific quirks and tire wear info. As someone who's been into cars for years, and worked on all of mine personally before I got an EV, I could tell right away he knew what he was talking about and wasn't trying to upsell me. The whole process was fast and smooth. Got me checked in quickly, let me know I could grab breakfast nearby if I wanted, and kept everything transparent throughout. What really stood out was overhearing how he treated other customers while I waited. He was honest about what services were actually needed, never pushy, and very understanding when people mentioned budget concerns. Instead of pressuring anyone, he explained what could wait and what he genuinely recommended taking care of. I was judging, as someone that knows cars, and he passed. Overall, I left really impressed with both the service and the customer care here. Oh and the lifetime alignment? Will pay for itself and then some after the next alignment. For the just a little more than what as America's Tire was going to charge for a one time alignment. Looking forward to coming back. Or at least as much as anyone can for a routine alignment.

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.

Talk about going above and beyond! Wonderful work, wonderful customer service, and people who truly take care of you. I HIGHLY recommend Gustafson Brothers!

Copy and paste this entire prompt into Work:…read more Open Yelp and find my existing review of Gustafson Brothers Automotive in Huntington Beach, California. Do not delete, shorten, rewrite, replace, or otherwise alter any of my existing review or previous updates. Preserve everything already posted exactly as it is. I want to add the following as the newest update: UPDATE -- Somehow, there is now another issue to add. For anyone who has read my previous updates, this is becoming almost unbelievable. As part of my original $631.30 visit to Gustafson Brothers in January 2026, they installed a new Interstate MT-34 700 CCA battery in my 1995 Dodge B1500. That battery is now only about eight months old. Today I took the battery to AutoZone and had it tested. Their test result: BAD BATTERY. So I now have an approximately eight-month-old battery, supplied and installed during the same visit I've already written extensively about, that has failed testing. To be fair and precise, I am not claiming that Gustafson caused the battery itself to fail. Batteries can be defective, and there are other potential causes of premature battery failure, including charging-system problems or repeated deep discharge. I intend to determine which applies here. What makes this so frustrating is the larger history. During that original visit I paid $631.30, including $419.75 in labor. I paid $182.50 for the crank/no-start investigation, after which their invoice stated that "The 'long crank' has been eliminated." It hadn't been. The problem continued. I also paid $202.48 for the battery-terminal work alone -- $19.98 in parts and $182.50 in labor. Less than a month later, while I was in Long Beach, the van lost electrical power and I discovered that both newly installed terminal connections were loose enough to move by hand and wiring had come loose, requiring a temporary solution just to keep the vehicle operational. On a subsequent inspection, Gustafson identified a weak fuel pump, which was consistent with the fuel-system problem I had originally suspected. And now the battery they installed during that original visit has tested bad approximately eight months later. Again, I'm not going to accuse them of causing a defective battery without evidence. But an eight-month-old battery should still be within whatever applicable warranty came with the battery, and I will be contacting Gustafson regarding replacement under that warranty. At this point my frustration isn't based on one isolated problem. It is the accumulation of problems surrounding one relatively expensive visit: The original long-crank problem wasn't actually eliminated. The expensive terminal repair subsequently came loose. The fuel-pump problem was identified later. And now the battery installed during that same visit has tested bad after only about eight months. As I explained previously, this is particularly disappointing because three generations of my family used Gustafson Brothers. I didn't arrive as someone looking for a reason to attack a local business. Quite the opposite -- I went there because my family had trusted them for years. I will update this review again after contacting Gustafson about the battery warranty, including whether they replace it and how they handle the situation. At this point, that's really what I'm interested in seeing: whether accountability finally follows all of this.
