Gene is kind, honest and hardworking. Completed major repairs to my mother's 22 y.o. Honda in record time. Best experience ever!

Honesty is their best quality. Been servicing our cars here for over 6 years now and I can always count on their best suggestions for trouble shooting problems. One day I brought in a Mazda 5 with a serious oil leak. They rigged a hydro test to locate the leak. It ended up being an oil cooler issue. Previous owner said he would fix it and took it to his mechanic. Gene's Auto didn't charge for the trouble shooting test they performed. Great guys, amazing integrity. I highly recommend them because I feel most auto repair shops are scammers. I ve had many issues with other locations especially Midas. Genes has stood the test of time. Only downside is they re closed on the weekends.

Gene is the best. Just like most of what others have said about him about him, he is honest, kind and has saved me money from other mechanics who quoted me more money to fix other things on my car. I have been going to him for more than 6 years and I am so blessed to have him as our mechanic. I am so grateful that my friends at my church referred Gene. Thank you Suzette and Tom!!!!!

I have been going to Gene's for over 30 years. My father was an honest mechanic. He reminds me of my father a lot. Every time I go to his shop, I chat with other customers who have been going to him for years also. You cannot have that longevity of customers without an EXCELLENT reputation. He also explains a lot about the car's malfunction that he is repairing & I have learned a lot about cars from him. I would not recommend any other mechanic as reliable, efficient and honest as Gene.

I love Gene and his shop. I've been taking my cars to him for nearly ten years. They've never let me down and never tried to sell me a service I didn't need. Super honest and skilled.

Not only has Gene's Auto Repair done a great job on saving me money and making my car highly reliable but I have also suggested over a dozen of my friends and relatives to take their cars to Gene and they rave about his honesty and and high quality service also. Gene is a man of integrity and automotive knowledge far beyond average. Gene does not disappoint.

Gene is great- it s hard to find an honest mechanic and he s one of the best I ve had. I can t tell you how many times I went in and thought I had a major problem and Gene told me I didn t need to do anything. He s very knowledgeable and kind.

I have gone to Gene's for years. I was referred by a friend. My previous mechanic said I needed a new engine on a car I received from my parents. I wanted a second opinion so I went to Gene's he said "no you don't need a new engine" I haven't looked back. I have referred many friends, everybody likes Gene. He is honest, really knows his business and won't ever try to get you to have work done you don't need. He is an "Auto Hero" to me. You can't go wrong with Gene's Auto Repair.

Most trustworthy auto mechanic in Orange County. Our family has been going to Gene for over 30 years. Don't know what we would do without his honesty. Saved us a fortune over the years. Not going to anybody else ever.

There simply are not enough superlatives to describe Gene, he is hands down the most honest mechanic I have EVER encountered in my 73 years of life. Clearly I recommend Gene's Auto Repair to anyone.

Dealer quoted $650 to replace a caliper and assembly on my Toyota Sequoia after I took it in because it was making some really loud scraping noises. I was told the caliper was bad and it needed to be replaced. Gene's guys took a look and it turned out the spring holding the pad in place came loose (dealer had installed it 5 months prior) and that was causing the noise. I paid $45 ($10 for the spring and $35 for labor) and its been fine ever since. Sold the car (now 2 years later) and it reminded me that I never wrote a review. These guys are great in every way, take your car here and feel comfortable your money is being spent wisely.

Been going to Gene's for over 2 decades. Have referred him to all my friends in the OC. The most friendly and honest mechanic that you can ever trust.

All I wanted was to get an idea of what it would cost to do some basic services to my truck (change the transmission fluid, rear differential fluid, and fuel filter). He side stepped the question only to finally answer with the reply I would rather get to that when we have the truck in the shop . I dislike business that won t tell you what they want to charge until you problem is dissembled and you almost have no choice but to pay them. Trying to be polite and receptive towards him I simply took a business card from his pile and asked if I could call him at that number later when he had more time as I could see he was busy. In front of three people in his reception room he said he would not service my vehicle as I seemed pushy and he is very busy. He was very rude and condescending and seemed to take pleasure in treating me badly in front of his customers. Unless you want to take the chance of being treated poorly and embarrassed I would avoid this shop.
