Timely, skilled, and honest service. Anthony was so kind and understanding when I came in for same-day service on my car that was having trouble starting.They were able to diagnose and fix my car in a couple short hours with a more than fair price. I ll be back in the future, and would highly recommend Costa Mesa Auto Service Center!

I could tell you the whole story but instead I ll keep it short.- I was given a different diagnosis at a shop in Sd.- Something that was going to cost me $1900- After having my truck towed and communicating with James we went another route had it re-diagnosed.- The first diagnosis from San Diego was incorrect and Costa Mesa Auto Service Center saved me a pretty penny.- They could have just done was I was told and gave approval for, instead they went the extra mile found out what was actually wrong with my truck and fix her.- Highly recommended, this will be my new place to go with any vehicle needs.- Friendly, Helpful, and have highly effective communication.

they will not allow you to use your own oil, for oil change, and they will tell you that they use high quality oil , but that s not true. my MPG rate decreased from 56 to 48 after i changed oil with them. also they charged me 250$ for oil and air filter change. absolutely unreliable and deceitful service

James was so helpful! My alternator was broken and the dealership was quoting me waaaaaay too much. I was helped and serviced with a working car in less than 24hours! Impressed, thank you!! I ll be back

James helped me out with a very odd car issue. Wasn t able to get it fixed, so even though it took hours to diagnose the problem, he charged me ZERO. Stand up guy. Will be back for sure!

Took my van in to have several different things done, already knowing and trusting about the good work that they have previously done for me.They take the time to go over every small detail of the work being done and problems found before proceeding on to the next step.They make effort to keep the cost as low as possible for you and at the same time keeping the quality of the work top notch.These guys care about doing the best job they can for you. If you need quality honest work done, this definitely is the go-to place.

Anthony has been so helpful to me over the last few years I have lived in the Costa Mesa area. I know I can trust him to not only get the job done, but to charge me a fair price and not pressure me into work that doesn't need to be done immediately. He is extremely kind, fair, and does great work! Thank you so much for your generosity of the years!!Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Battery, Oil change

Great customer service, and honest hard workers. Chad personally follows up weeks/months after service to check in and see how your car is doing. I take both my work and personal vehicles here now and they've never let me down. They stand by their work, don't nickel and dime you, and have a fast turnaround. Great service, affordable prices.

.I had a very good experience, on several points, bringing my vehicle to be repaired here, Chad went out of his way to make sure the job was done honestly, and promptly, he was the one that reminded me that I qualified for a AAA discount, first time that's happened, and he tried to keep the over all cost as low as he could. He pointed out other problems that needed fixing without any heavy over sell.He had the mechanic work extended hours for a quicker repair which came out great, very friendly staff, and the surrounding area is a very safe clean neighborhood.I'll definitely be using this place for repairs from now on.

The best and most honest place to repair your car. I went there twice, and had my lights fixed. Anthony also checked my brakes, took my car for a ride, and gave his honest opinion that they do not need a change just yet. As a person who doesn t know a lot about cars, I felt well informed when Anthony explained me what he was doing and why. I recommend this place 120%. It s worth a drive if you live in OC. They speak both English and Spanish :)

We brought a vehicle in for a pre-purchase inspection. The staff is super friendly. They did a thorough inspection and provided us with detailed information on possible issues. It was totally worth $129 to have a professional check it out prior to purchasing the car. Wish we didn't live 75 miles away...good mechanics are hard to find.***update: we brought our vehicle to a dealer for manufacturer warranty work. Turned out the flex seal leak required a new drive shaft. Thank You Costa Mesa Auto Service! We gave them your detailed recommendations and all was fixed without cost to us.

Being a young woman who just moved out here from Michigan with on old beat up car, I had a hard time finding a mechanic I could trust that wouldn't try to take advantage of me. I found Anthony and his shop when I had to replace the wheel bearings on my car. He took the time to explain everything to me and even talked on the phone with my dad back in Michigan to explain everything to him. He quoted me with a great price and his guys did an excellent job on my car!I haven't gone anywhere else since. Anthony and his crew have always been so helpful and I know I can trust them.10 out of 10 times I would recommend these guys to anyone!

FABULOUS SERVICE - REASONABLE, HONEST PRICE!!! I have been bringing my car to Costa Mesa Auto for over 15 years. They always help me - even if it is something I can fix myself :) I always know the work will be done quickly, professionally and for a price I can afford. And I trust them not to sell me something I don't need - which is a real plus. I would recommend Anthony and Jim - and do - to anyone and everyone!!!

My car was knocking/misfiring pretty bad. Called Costa Mesa Auto Service and Anthony had me scheduled first thing the next day. Diagnosed my car and corrected the issue that next day. When I went to pick up my car he reviewed their findings with me and had me on my way. Super friendly and efficient service. Thanks Anthony.

Refused to install ball joints on my Jeep. Said they don't like to work on lifted jeeps (that's 90% of the jeeps on the road) even though it's been to a 4 wheel shop and has the work order.Also won't install parts they don't supply.

Took good care of my Jeep. Ended up being much more expensive than I thought but not the shops fault. Great communication and use of technology as well!

Staying at Newport Coast for my daughter's weddig from northern CA. I find my air conditioning is inoperable and in need of emergency repair.. I stumbled into the helping hands of Jim znd his team at Costa Mesa Auto Servie Center who did the needed repairs with a minimum on site wait for me. Thanks to Costa Mesa Auto Servie Center I was cool and comfortable in my rented duds on wedding day.

I've been going here for years and gotten great service. I appreciate the detail that they explain about what's wrong and what the options are to fix it. They were super flexible with drop off and pick up as well.
