Jeff was referred to me by my co-worker. I decided to go to Jeff for my brakes because my regular…read moremechanic wanted to put new pads on what he said were worn out rotors. I dropped my vehicle off to Jeff and went to the mall. Jeff phoned me and said I didn't need new rotors; he could machine the ones that were on the vehicle. A little surprised upon receiving this news, I said it was o.k. to machine the old rotors. Jeff also added an oil change to the job. When I picked up the vehicle, the bill was nearly the same price he had quoted me for brakes and rotors! Only I got no new rotors. I wasn't happy about the charges. Two weeks after the brake job I had to call Jeff and tell him that every time I let up off the breaks, there was a grinding-sticking sound! Creaking and grinding. I was not happy! He told me to bring the vehicle back and I did. He took the vehicle out on the road for about 30 mins and came back and said I shouldn't have any more problems. He stated the noise was because the brakes were new. I left, and the very next day the noise was back! He did the brakes back in Nov 2024; it's now June 2025 and the noise is still there! I have no idea if Jeff's brake job is going to cause me more problems down the line. The Toyota dealer wants $220 to check the brakes and I can't afford it right now. On top of the problems with his brake job, Jeff's oil change has caused me misery as well! Two weeks ago I took my vehicle for the oil change, as it was a little over due. Guess what . . . Jeff had torqued the oil filter onto the engine so hard, that the oil techs could not remove it without damage to my vehicle! They told me to take the vehicle back to Jeff, or go to the Toyota dealer for the oil change, as they would have the 'special tool' to remove the filter. In all the years gone by, and all 8 cars that I have owned, I have NEVER had this happen! I was livid! I called Jeff as I left from trying to get my oil changed, but no answer. I left an upset voicemail on his work phone and he didn't even have the courtesy to return my call. My first thought was, "Wow, I have to take the vehicle back to him anyway for the breaks; I'll just have him do the oil change too." Then I thought, "What are you thinking? This man has already messed up the brake job; why would you go to him for a 2nd mistake!" So I did go to Toyota and thank God they were able to do my oil change without incident. I will never go back to Jeff for repairs or maintenance and will not recommend his services to anyone. I hope I don't have to see him in small claims court once I have my breaks looked at by a reputable automotive service business.

Got referred to this shop to replace the master and power booster on 65 Chevy C10. The person I…read morewas referred wasn't around, I think it may have been Shawn but I'm not sure. So they send out this kid instead that looks to be about 20 years old. His name was Dusty. So I introduced Dusty to my truck and explained to him what I wanted in detail. He proceeds to upsale me and tells me I need a double diaphragm booster. He tells me it's good stuff and about $750. I said that's not what I want, but he wasn't listening. Working on classic vehicles can run up the bill if you don't keep control of what the shop is allowed to do on thier own. I asked for a ball park estimate within 10 % or so for parts and labor. He tells me that we'd reserve 10 hours @ $150 an hour. And if it takes less they would charge accordingly. Plus $750 for double diaphragm brake booster/ reservoir. Ok the power booster/reservoir I want is about $300. And three hours labor tops is $150. $450 is pretty much on target. But here's Dusty telling me like $2250. I asked for a detailed estimate to sent to me by email or text. This was three weeks ago. Never came and i don't chase people to do thier job. Major major upsale here. Be careful with this shop.

First of all, I would like to thank mick for fixing my AC issue. I was driving home from work with…read morethe AC on and found out it was not blowing cold air. I know this is the cold season but my car was warm inside so i decided to use the AC. I could had rolled down my windows instead but I discovered something is not right. So, I found this place at yelp and contact Mick about my AC problem and told me to come in and troubleshoot the issue. I drove from Riverside to Murrieta while testing out my AC at max cold and fan to see any cold blowing air but there was nothing. Once I arrived, Mick began to inspect my car immediately and said I was low on freon and had a electrical issue. I knew I was low but I didn't knew he discovered that I had a bad AC compressor relay so he charge me for a new one along with the freon at a reasonable price. He told me my compressor would go bad if I didn't fix it asap so thank god I came at the right time. It took him 30 minutes to fix my car and I am satisfied about my visit. Thank you Mick for bringing cold air into my car before summer season starts!

The rattle only came on when the AC was on. I explained that it didn't make since for them to charge me again for work they did. I ended up leaving and will take it to another Mecanic. The new owner Mike is arrogant and treated me like I was a dumb female. The original owner or Precision wouldn't have done that. It's too bad because the actual guy that worked on the car and helped me when I first went in was honest.

I highly recommend Tom's Foreign Autohouse. Their customer service is outstanding, and their…read morecommunication throughout the entire process is second to none. They take the time to explain everything they are doing, provide honest feedback, and make sure you fully understand your options before any work is performed. What really sets them apart is how approachable and transparent they are. You never feel like you're being sold unnecessary repairs. Instead, they provide straightforward recommendations and treat you like a valued customer. One experience that really stood out was when I had to have my car towed to their shop. The team worked directly with the tow company to ensure the vehicle was transported properly and in a manner that would not cause any damage. That level of attention and care gave me a lot of confidence that my car was in good hands from the very beginning. As for pricing, they are not the cheapest shop around, but they are not the most expensive either. More importantly, I've always felt like I was getting exactly what I paid for: quality workmanship, honest advice, excellent communication, and peace of mind knowing the job was done right. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and customer-focused auto repair shop, Tom's Foreign Autohouse is an easy recommendation.

The Experience: It was impressive to watch such skill and discipline in a 24-year-old (a trait he credits to the Marine Corps). He handled the difficult job perfectly. The Takeaway: I'm so glad I chose Isaac. He saved me a significant amount of money and stress. I'II be referring him to everyone! (Thanks again, Lea, for the original recommendation!)
