Shout out to younger David for helping me out with my alignment on my lowered truck today. This place doesn t get any better when it comes to honesty and integrity. Everyone working here is so nice. Extremely knowledgeable with cars and very affordable prices. It s very hard to find good mechanic shops like these. My respect to this shop

Great guys, I had an issue with my vehicle and had to wait for the part to arrive. I needed a rental since I was out of town. They took me to Enterprise for the car rental and came and picked me up when my vehicle was repaired a few days later.. they worked on my older mustang and repaired it when the Ford dealership would not because of its age. GOOD JOB. I would recommend Steed Auto Repair to all. Honest and Trustworthy should be their slogan.Thank you David and David.

I brought my 2007 mustang gt in asking for a fluid top off on my differential since I knew it had been leaking slowly over a few months and they got it done relatively quickly and at a fair price. I would recommend this shop

Super fast, accommodating, and the prices are very reasonable. I have been a customer for over a year and will continue to bring my car here when I need servicing.

Do not bring your car here for anything. Years ago my father's nissan sentra wld shut off while stopped at a light. This was the closest place one day when it was shutting off repeatedly we cldnt make it home which was 4blocks away. They agreed to check the issue. The sentra had a full tank of gas. They tried to diagnose but apparently didn't have a multi meter to troubleshoot the electrical issue. I wld call every 2 days and same story we can't find the issue. I finally asked ok what has been done to the car and what type of service is chargeable. I stated I wld have the car towed to another shop after anoyher week and this is when they became very nasty. I went to pick up the car which they had out front. It was less than half a tank of gas, I had spare key so I checked before going inside. They way they spoke to me was incredibly rude almost as if I was creating a problem for them. So entitled they seemed. And finally I receive a quote which was insane. I explain that they never did any of this work on the car because I called every 2 days and they had yet to remove sensors or open anything. And when I asked how is it that the car won't start or stay running but more than half a tank of gas is missing an asian guy attempted to belittle me in front of other upset customers. This place is the absolute worse case of mismanagement and un professionals around. Not to mention they were doing some obviously illegal things. I'm surprised they are still in business to be honest. Surprised their shop didn't burn down due to karma. It's wild how some places get away with anything. So we paid the over $1k for their "services" and towed the car straight to the dealer... problem wasn't fixed or diagnosed at all but we paid. Then called bank and put a stop payment. I hope they didn't receive money I was younger only heard we were putting stop payment. Not sure if my parents held strong and went through all the Hassel. I wld have and wld have sued them for converting our car to their lunch ride as we found countless mcdonalds bags and receipts in there from the entire time they had the vehicle in their possession ahich was 2 day short of 2weeks. These guys are a work of art, a true cancer to the auto industry. They shld be ashamed of themselves but they prob sleep great at night next to their hideous wives or boyfriends. Thank you for the life experience. Now if there's a hint of disrespect my business goes elsewhere thank you

Dad put diesel in his santa fe by mistake. Called Steed and they broke down possible actions and prices. Had AAA drop off the car and we worked out the whole thing over the phone. Instead of changing more components than necessary, had the gas removed and fuel fiter soaked in regular gas. Picked up the car the next day. Highly recommend if you are in the west Fullerton area!

We've been doing business here for almost 20 years.The reason is because I trust and believe in many things.Some people say the price is a bit expensive, but I believe there is a reason for that, so I have been trading for 20 years without complaint.Of course, if you leave the repairs to the 3 Brothers owners who insist on only genuine products, you will always be comfortable driving.

I really don t know where all these good reviews are coming from about honest prices but that s not what I got. DO NOT COME HERE. Within 30 minutes of looking at my car they told me my bill would be $1800 . Mentioned how much I paid to multiple other people and everyone told me I got charged an arm and a leg AND my other leg for the services I had done. Way to go overcharging people who don t know anything about cars do NOT come here, I guess business must have been bad the day I stepped in so they decided to take advantage.

Do not recommend this shop.After experiencing mechanical issues with my BMW, I visited a nearby auto shop. However, they lacked the necessary knowledge to fix BMWs. I then contacted another shop who assured me that they could handle the issue. I towed my car to their location for repair. They diagnosed my car and found several malfunctioning cords. They recommended fixing the injector and ignition plugs, which I agreed to. The next day, they called me and said they fixed the issue. However, they found another malfunctioning cord and recommended changing the high-pressure fuel pump at an additional cost of around $800, on top of the $750 they had already charged me. I did not trust their work and decided to take my car home. However, as soon as I arrived, my car exhibited the same issues. I then towed it to another auto shop that my friend recommended. They found the same malfunctioning cords as Steed auto shop and recommended changing the high-pressure fuel pump first, as per the manual. They explained that when the high-pressure fuel pump dies, fuel cannot reach the cylinder, leading to a misfire and malfunctioning cords. Despite Steed auto repair shop changing other parts, the high-pressure fuel pump was the main problem. After changing it at the other auto shop, all error cords disappeared, and my car was back to its normal state.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

*** SUPER OVER PRICED ***Only used because it was the nearest shop .They essentially gave me a quote of 1,900 for valve gasket & power steering repair on a 1993 Van.I went to my boys in Santa Ana they confirmed to me that this shop doubled almost tripled labor costs.They claimed a lot of labor but finished within 12 hours so not sure where the labor was for.

This shop should be earned more reputations in OC and LA area.After I wasted the time, money and efforts by the poor skilled techs of 2 major franchised repair shops for a month, Steed cleared all problems within 2 hours. They got the master craftsmanship with high efficient work system like dealers. The best alignment repair shop in OC and LA.Service: Wheel alignment

Only come to Mr. Park, thee Mr. Park, if you want a honest mechanic. Steed wasn't the cheapest after 3 quotes but he was the most honest and most capable to do a rebuild of a RMS and cover plate. After 2 years of self changing oil. Mr. Park was upfront with all charges and work that needed to done. I have trust issues but Mr. Park assured me it won't be a problem. Read the other reviews, they all involve being honest and trustworthy. If you want a HONEST mechanic to keep you informed come to Steed Auto Repair.Update 7,000 miles later and on the east coast.No leaking anywhere and truck performance was top notch.

I have been coming to Steed for years. I have always appreciated the service and attention that is shown to me and every customer that walks in.The best part about Steed is not the friendly staff, the professionalism, or the honest evaluation (all they have) but knowing that they will tell me what needs to be done. No upsell or addition of parts that are not necessary.They will let you know the pros and cons of each repair recommended and what has to be done but will not add $500 of, "It would be nice to do so you dont have to next year", repairs. Though they have been right on when they have recommended preventive maintenance.That is more valuable then anyone can possibly say.

I've been coming here for over 15 years and I'm proud to say that I will be their lifetime customer. I have never once encountered one incident where I was a dissatisfied customer. Steed Alignment specializes in European, Japanese, and American vehicles (cars, trucks, RVs, and even limos)! They are also open on Saturdays which makes it convenient for my schedule. The waiting area has water, coffee, magazines, and TV to keep you from being bored. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an oil change, check up, or service to their car.

Took in my car to have the Air conditioning fixed and had to go back for a second repair to learn the first fix I paid a $130 was wrong.The first repair replaced the air conditioning gas for about $130.On my way home it became apparent that the AC was still not operating properly with hot air coming out.I returned to let them know the AC was not fixed and learned that the AC relay needed to be replaced.Replacing the relay was a less than $20 fix and I was still stuck with footing the bill for the first $130 repair. I would understand if the owner wanted to keep the cost of the gas and compromise, but my complaint ended with the owner telling me not call again and abruptly hanging up for calling out this error.The mechanic did not properly investigate and diagnose my AC problem and made me foot the bill for an unnecessary fix.Service: Air conditioning

I've been going to Steed Auto on and off for over 5 years and they've helped me with all of my maintenance, repairs and alignments. I even buy tires from them when needed. Their prices are competitive, I love the fact that they use quality parts and clean service. I always get treated with respect too. It's sad to see some people think otherwise but I owe them a positive review for the great service they provide me and my family. I drive from South Orange County to them because i have full trust in their work and advise. I say to hon.chan - you usually pay what you get for and to alee33 - better hope that was all that was wrong. To everyone else, try them out - these guys have been there for many years, they're always packed and no rip-off shop IMO is that busy or in business as long as they have.

This is the place to go if you need a mechanic. They are up front with you on what your car needs. Prices are decent maybe higher then somewhere else but not by much. I don t mind paying them because I trust them. Will always be taking my cars here.

Honest, quick, and cheap. I don t go anywhere else. They also do labor only services for those who like to buy their own specific product line for their cars. Sometimes they offer generic parts to save you money and they work great.

I don't know if the ownership has changed in the last 12 yesrs or not but if they didn't, they are the worst scammers and liars. Scammed a girl who was ahead of me in line. They told her "your air filter is too dirty and legally we can't let you drive out of here with it" and charged her $20 to change the air filter. Bunch of con men, liars, and thieves. Haven't been to this place due to their scummy business practice and told everyone I know to avoid them on over a decade.

I don't think you'll find a better alignment shop anywhere. I've been going there for about 40 years. They have always done an excellent job on my vehicles whatever the need.
