They charge a ridiculous $200 fee just to diagnose your vehicle. This fee does not even go towards your repairs. We paid $1,200 for a car battery and a single motor mount that didn't even solve our issue. These people are not honest mechanics. Don't be fooled by their smiles and friendliness. read more

To making a problem worse, when you had all the ability to improve it. Brought my vehicle in to have the AC worked on, not only did they not fix the problem, they left it worse with a very lame excuse. read more

I took my car here because the engine light was on. They were friendly but they charged $200 for diagnostics. ( we waited 3 days just for diagnostics). Found two diagnostic codes, but did not or would not give me a price for repairs. Tried to stick me with a $600 engine wash that would not fix anything. Took the vehicle to another shop and they found the problem and had it repaired in a few days. This shop might be good for oil changes or minor repairs but not for major engine repairs. read more

First and foremost, I've been to this shop for my last 3 services, and I love how upfront everything was with these guys! I've been to mechanic shops where they don't even give you an estimate nor do they update you when there are issues. They have a check-in process that provides an electronic estimate. It saves so much of the guessing game. The electronic estimate also provides a checklist of the services they're doing on the car so it's nice to be informed of the process. Secondly, they also provide a complimentary car service to take you home and pick you up once your car is done. Lastly, they seem like genuinely nice people. Every person I've encountered in the shop has been incredibly friendly and helpful. Thank you, Yorba Linda Auto Service! read more

The guys there are amazing. I have been going there for about 5-10 yrs. They fixed my air conditioner and other issues I was having with my Tuscon. I have been very happy with their service over the years. If I need something else in the future, I'm going to them. Thanks guys Dave Rich read more

They quoted me $1600 for repairs that were completed for half that by another mechanic. Not saying that they won't provide good service and weren't professional, but the price difference was top big to ignore. If you have the money to spend I am sure that they would do a great job and they were respectful and professional, but just not economical for me. read more

First of all, I came here because AAA recommended these people. Thinking they would be more affordable I came here. I talked to Travis on the phone. However, the guy at the front desk Eric straight up told me they were not more affordable and that they were a premium repair shop and even smirked at me (his vibe totally rubbed me the wrong way)! All that means is they want to steal your money and trick you into thinking they're more quality. I work on cars myself when I have the time and for 4 new stuff ark plugs and coils it shouldn't be more than $350. They quoted me $1000 just to replace my spark plugs and coils! So an extra $600 for labor? The place next door quoted for $500 (Masters Auto). Don't come here unless you want to get scammed. I assume all of the other happy customers know nothing about cars and I feel bad for their pockets! read more

cant say enough about these guys! the whole team from start to finish was superb and made the process effortless, my AC is now blowing ice cold again on my Magnum SRT8. i told them i love my car and to please take care of it and they sure did. thank you Yorba Linda Auto Service!! read more

I have used these guys now on 2 different cars and every time they have diagnosed and handled my specific problems quickly and for way less than the other quotes I was getting. I'll start with my 2006 Lexus IS250 which had 3 dash lights on: check engine, VSC light, and traction control light. I was told by a different mechanic that it was going to need a new catalytic converter for $2000+. I brought the car in, had these guys diagnose it and they came back with a hose that had come unplugged due to a bad motor mount. So they put on a longer hose and fixed the motor mount, all for under $400. The other car was a check engine light on a Honda Civic that ended up just being the gas cap and I got out of there spending less than $20. Their honesty and integrity is very apparent the moment you walk into this shop. They come highly recommended and I will never go anywhere else for my services! Thanks guys! read more

I was able to get an appointment on New Year's Eve Day in the early morning. It was my first visit. Very clean and tidy space upon entering. I immediately felt welcomed! Eric was the first person I met and helped with getting me squared away with my services. Very customer service oriented! The other gentleman was taking care of a returning customer. I could tell they built a strong, respectful rapport with her as they earned her trust with previous services. I was able to receive a ride to and from the shop while services were being rendered. Work was done in a timely fashion and reasonably priced. Hard to find places with this kind of high quality in personnel, workmanship, and efficiency! They have earned my business! I will be returning in the near future for other and any services needed. I have already recommended them to others! Thank you Yorba Linda Auto Service! read more

Travis is absolutely phenomenal! He made my experience here a breeze. He really went out of his way to make sure I got what I needed, when I needed it. He even called me with a reminder that I needed to pick up my paperwork before my due date, saving my life. Not only do Travis Tim and Dan have years of experience working on cars, they genuinely care about their clients. That's what makes this place exceptional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Two weeks ago I took my 2007 truck here to get my brakes checked out dropped it off around 8 AM. Told him what I needed they would get back to me and they did the work they did was very good. I was happy with the time it took to get it done, thank you for the good job you did on my truck! I will be bringing my truck back for any needs. I have for it in the future.! read more

Thank you million times for the outstanding quality of service provided by Travis. Tim, Mechanics and the whole team of Yorba Linda Auto Service. You all had provided me with first Class service and kent me in the loop through out the process of getting my vehicle fixed. I truly and highly recommend this Mechanic shop to everyone for there services and value. Having a great Mechanic is like having a great doctor. Jack Anaheim Hills. read more

My son, who now lives out of state, took his car in for an oil change. They called back with a long list of needed repairs. The only place I trust is Yorba Linda Auto Service, so I called and spoke with Travis. He willingly took my call (he wasn't making any money on this) and helped me with my questions. The Guys (family owned business) are the BEST!!! Get your vehicle here! read more

I have taken my 2014 Subaru Forester to Yorba Linda Auto Services several times, after my previous repair shop was sold to indifferent people. I was delighted to be greeted by Eric (from that previous shop) who was and is a fabulous service manager. The work performed has been different each time, but it has all been done well, while I've waited. The mechanics are excellent and run the car through a detailed checklist each time, so I am made aware of the cost of repairs that need attention soon and which can be deferred. It's a family-owned business and everyone is attentive to the customers and care about the quality of the work. A good place to take your car. read more

I didn't have any work on my car done here. I'm leaving this review just because of the service I received. My car took a s*** on me and I had no idea what the problem was or how I would even get it to a mechanic. This place was so quick to answer any questions I had even let me know they were a little booked up so they wouldn't be able to get to my car right away instead of having me bring it in and making me think I'll get it back in a few days as it just sat there. I can always appreciate a shop that's honest up front. I got a new car so I didn't need to bring my car in after all. read more

Great customer service and follow up! Despite poor communication from the dealer Yorba Linda Auto Service went the extra step to ensure my Jeep was repaired! Shout out to Travis he is amazing! read more

We noticed an oil leak coming from my daughter's car. We took it to Yorba Linda Auto. Upon inspection, they discovered a leak coming from the main seal. They had to remove the transmission in order to replace the seal. What I really liked was the communication. They were very accommodating to my schedule for picking up my daughter's car. I will definitely bring my cars to Yorba Linda Auto Service. read more

Travis might be one of the nicest most knowledgeable people I have dealt with. Amazing service!

Will they do good work yes and be responsive through the whole process yes will they charge about 3 times what it should yes! My girlfriend was quoted 1500 for new brake pads and rotors and reset a check brake light haha. Ridiculous. I know they do pretty good work because they worked on my tundra about 3 months ago but charged me 800 to clean and evap line so they will charge you ridiculous amounts. If you can afford it go right ahead read more

I really couldn't recommend this place more. Their staff is knowledgeable, their prices are fair, and they won't try to upsell you on anything. Service is very fast, invoices itemize everything, and no matter how small or big something you need is- they will take their time to assist you and break it all down for you. read more

I've come here a few times and the rest of my family brings their cars here too. Great and fast service! I really like how I get an invoice with a breakdown of everything and pictures. Also I appreciate the extra time they spend covering off on everything that was done and recommends on what might need to be taken care of down the road. Highly recommend. read more

I want start off first with saying the gentleman working there are very nice and friendly. I brought my sons truck in that I inherited which had handling issues. The truck would wander from side to side. I said to them I thought it was the lower ball joints. They sad they checked and it wasn't the ball joints. They told me I needed "new struts, new sway bar links, rear shocks, replace valve cover gaskets and an alignment" which totaled around $2,500. I asked them if they test drove it and they said "they drove it from the front of the shop to the back of the shop," so the answer is no they did not test drive it. I didn't have any work done there and I brought it to another shop and it was my ball joints! I think auto shops these days like to replace parts because they don't have adequate troubleshooting skills. read more

Excellent and quick service. I called these guys at 820am and asked to bring my vehicle for work. They started work at 9am, did a thorough check on my vehicle and found a bunch of stuff wrong which was not surprising. They quoted me 3-4 hours for the initial problem, and they actually fixed my vehicle in about 5 1/2 hours--the initial problem and several other ssues that needed work. On top of that they drove me to Starbucks and picked me up! They offered to bring me anywhere else or even home. Really great service!!!! read more

Great local shop with genuine people who care. If you are looking for honest opinions they will provide you with the answers.

B E W A R E !!! This 1 star rating is for their failure to use OEM parts as was communicated and understood. In August we took our Honda in for the 100,000 mile service. Specifically said we want genuine OEM parts only. We also requested that they return the old parts back to us (this is done to verify that old parts were replaced with new; everyone should do the same no matter how minor or major the job is). We go in to pick her up, and upon reviewing the invoice by husband notices that they did not use OEM. The service guy explains that they are "equivalent to OEM". Well, we know the difference, and that's why we were adamant about using ORIGINAL. He explains that these aftermarket parts are fine. But we don't just want "fine", we want NEW!! At any rate, what's done is done. We can only hope that the generic timing belt they installed lasts 100,000 miles. Our piece of mind is gone, as is our respect for their business. Timing belts can usually go to 100,000 miles, ours may not make it half that. ** ** ** An update to my previous review, way overdue review (6.16.18)... So my husband had always maintained our pilot himself, except whenever there were warranty issues. Initially he was pretty apprehensive about taking it to a mom & pop shop, but after comparing Honda dealer prices and being assured by this business in regards to its use of oem parts, he decided it should be OK. But less than 2 years after the service and barely 5,000 miles later, we can hear noise under the hood during a cold start, normally lasting about 10 mins. No longer the sweet hum of a happy car, but instead a belt and a pulley at war. We had contemplated returning the car back to the shop, but realistically if the parts were deemed "defective" we would just get another set of junk parts. Waste of time. ***** In response to Dan 6.19.18: OEM parts are still a major concern for me, so because of my past experience with your business there is no more trust. Thank you. read more

I took my 2012 Honda Pilot into this establishment for a brake job and oil change. I was originally impressed by how polite and well spoken the customer service appeared to be. I was given an original cost estimate of about $120.00, thought that might be low. A couple of hours later I received a text outlining the work that needed to be done, the total was now over $4,000. Warning! This place tries to upsell every thing they do. The oil change was upped by $65 because they wanted to add a special additive. They will take advantage of your lack of knowledge of automotive repair and scare you into more services than you need. They wanted to replace my entire rack and pinion components because some rubber boots were leaking. How about just replacing the rubber boots? I will not be going back to them, shame on me for going there in the first place. read more

I needed a overall assessment of my car and they were able to give me a review as to the items importance and they fixed what was needed. They aren't pushy and explained everything well. Also there is no price gauging. I feel fortunate to have found this business to help me. They have also worked on my daughters car. read more

I towed my car in as I needed a shop in the area. Technician called next morning said the quote would be around $535 to replace the "throttle body part" then noted that this was an electric issue as well. Please note, I may not know about cars but I know how to research. I called nearby shops including the dealer that noted the recommendation cannot be accurate. I towed it to a reliable shop in Brea where it was properly and correctly addressed and sure enough it needed an internal cleaning and not even part replacement.. all for $125! A note to this place, if you're gonna charge a diagnostic fee, which you did, then Atleast have your diagnostics be accurate instead of trying to rip off customers with unnecessary labor and parts! Save your time and money and don't have your car repaired here! read more

Do not hesitate to use this business. Family ownership shows in so many ways. So glad we found Yorba Linda Auto Service!

I've been taking cars here for many years now, and I feel I've always been treated fairly and honestly. It's hard to find mechanics you can trust, and I fully trust these guys. Recently they were able to squeeze me in a day before a big road trip when my A/C wasn't cooling, and I really appreciated it. My experience has always been positive, and I'll keep bringing my cars here. read more

I always appreciate the thoroughness with which Travis reviews the servicing of my car every time I bring it in, even if only for an oil change. read more

Super friendly and ethical. I love these guys and highly recommend. Such a well run, family business.

The folks at Yorba Linda Auto are super friendly and service turn-around is pretty good. We have serviced our three vehicles here for a number of years and they make it easy. In doing my own comparisons, their prices are a little on the high side though, so if you are looking for a budget mechanic, this wouldn't be it. read more

I had really great service here. I found the staff to be friendly, thorough, and honest, and prices were very reasonable. It felt like they were truly advocating for the best outcome for me. Strongly recommend! read more

!!!WARNIG DONT TAKE YOUR CAR TO THESE GUYS!!! Well I'm going to tell it like it was. Had a power steering resivore leak. The fluid was leaking onto the top of the engine manifold. Well ... The " technician" told the clerk to tell me that it was going to cost an extra $200.00 to get the fluid out. Well they also told me they didn't know where the fluid was coming from or how it got there. Well the power steering resivore is right next to on top side of manifold. The resivore has a top and bottom and an o ring in the middle and the worn o ring was causing the leak. But I was told about the extra charge as if this was some type of mysterious leak from no where. (Rip off). From the time I brought the car in all they did was speculate. And when they are initially giving you the great customer service speil at the front desk their ( so called techs) who are probably family members are thinking up ways to drum up your bill. By the way you never see or meet who's working on your car. They make sure of that by the dog and pony show at the counter. One thing for sure they will only fix what needed to be fixed. For example: They replaced the power steering resivore but didn't tighten a power steering hose on the other side of the engine. Infact they be told me that the initial fluid leak was from that hose which is located under the car. Well if the hose is located under the car then how would the fluid get on top of the engine manifold. They thought I was going to fall for it and pay them extra money too tighten a bolt on a hose which had nothing to do with the power steering resivore leak. By the way they still didn't tighten the power steering line bolt. The constantly kept barrating with a lot of BS. After it was all over and they were paid at their counter I was ask " I bet your hating us about know" Don't take your car to them.. !!!!Beware!!!! read more

Bad bad place. I had been taking my car to them for years. Tires, brakes , rotors, shocks, suspension, crank shaft position sensor. A lot of stuff, gave them a lot of business. The work was great, that's not the issue. One day my car died on the freeway, just shut off. Took it to YL auto. They said the connection was lose on battery. Awesome, sounds good. Next day, same thing same spot on freeway died again. Get it towed again to YL auto. He says "let us run a diagnostic on it" I'm like what did I pay you almost 100$ for yesterday ??? Turns out to be crank shaft position sensor needed replaced. Ok mistakes happen. I get in my car n my window just fell down n wouldn't come back up. "Ohhh ya about that, our mechanic accidentally pulled your door handle off n we had to take apart the door to put it back n they must of did something to window". sooo you weren't going to tell me??? Take it back again to fix window, when I picked it back up, window was not lining up correctly with seal n had oil on my steering wheel n door handle. Cool dude. There is more.. my radiator blew, took it to them cause that's where I take my car, they tell me head gaskets are warped n we probably need to drop the engine do yada yada or you can buy a new engine n replace it m that's going to be at least 6k..... I take it over to Bryan's auto in Placentia n the total was 284$ for new radiator. These guys are liars n crooks. I looked the guy dead in the eye n was like dude for all I know you could be totally lying and blowing smoke up my butt. He said Josh, you have been coming to us for years, we would never that, absolutely not, you can trust us I promise... Big bowl of BULLS**T. Screw them. I almost sold my car because I wasn't going to drop probably 7k into a car worth nothing more than 10k. I was tripping about what to do... screw them. Go to Bryan's auto, guy is so legit n trusting n honest n phenomenal work. DONT DO YL AUTO!!!!!!!! read more

The quality of work is good, which one should expect for the amount this garage charges. Not a bad place to go but spending five minutes looking into other reputable shops is absolutely worth your time. read more

As always, great customer service, friendly, efficient and thorough! As a single woman, I feel safe taking my car here because they check out safety issues and anything else that needs to be done! They are never pushy and are very honest! I've been going to them since 2006 and my car has never broken down! I highly recommend this auto service!!! read more

YL Auto Service fixed my car ACCIDENTALLY!!!! So my 2005 PT Cruiser was having "seizures" in idle. I took it to YLAS because of the great reviews. Miles called me back with a HUUUUGGGGE list of things that it COULD be. He said it looked like oil was spilled during my last oil change and may have gotten to the spark plus and it COULD be causing the problem. They wanted to change the spark plugs, wireset, clean fuel throttle, clean the fuel injector- that's the "BASIC" set of service to start at $441. Then if that didn't work, they recommended a bunch of other stuff for another $250+. THEN if that didn't work, they could reboot the computer chip for another $200. SO they wanted almost $1,000! Well I decided to get a second opinion. Well guess what??? it's been a couple of days and my car has not had any seizures at all!!! I think it was just a loose wire somewhere. BTW, YLAS said they were going to put platinum plugs in. The Chrysler Dealership (and several websites) said my car can't take platinum plugs. They burn too hot and don't last long. ALSO, I do see there is a small pool of oil around the spark plug area and I see that YLAS didn't even bother to wipe it off for me. SAVE YOUR MONEY! ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION! read more
