Always a stress free experience even though it regards vehicles and repairs. Mike has been there for us every time we had an issue.It s really nice to have a mechanic who is honest and who is someone you can have faith in.

I give them a 10. Great service. I was in and out promptly and on my way again. Their kindness is always a 10.

Experienced this shop about 4 years for a smog check. Had went to a couple more shops, before Inland Auto..I was told that because of my aftermarket cold air intake the other shops couldn t perform the smog check because I needed an E.O sticker. At that time I didn t know that the cold air intake company had an office in Temecula Ca. I noticed Inland Auto had a the smog check service so I stopped by. The owner at Inland Auto was very helpful and knowledgeable about my situation, so he called BBK Performance and got the E.O # and performed my smog check right after. I haven t use their service since cause I had been having more performance work done to my vehicle. Inland auto shop was clean, organized and large enough to service numerous vehicles. I m sure that Inland Auto will be knowledgeable about non performance vehicles and with the correct equipment to service your car fine. I would highly recommend this shop or at least stop by to find out they can do for you.

I have been a customer of Inland Auto for about 3 years. I go to him for my oil change and mechanical work. Mike, the owner is very accomodating. I love doing business with them.

I made an appointment via phone. Despite telling me they were getting busy this week, Mike was able to get my car in for a needed oil change. I was treated with kindness and respect and was out within the hour. This was a morning appointment.Service: Oil changeService: Oil change

Best auto repair ever! Specializing in all Toyota products. I showed up at at 10 AM with a with a huge problem, couldn't drive the car another block. Diagnosed, repaired for a fair price, and out the door by 4 PM. Mike, the long time owner, runs a very smooth operation. I highly recommend Inland Auto.

Mike the owner is great, keeps you informed through the process. In my case it was a warranty issue that required a complete engine replacement, he estimated the date of completion which was weeks away and did in fact return the car to me on that exact date.

Mike is a really good guy. My daughter found this shop as a back up if her repairs went haywire. Mike just told her to bring in her Mazda and he replaced her headlight units for a really fair price. I've taken my 2015 Mazda in for transmission service and oil change and they are an awesome, efficient shop. This is our new family repair shop.

I would like to say that Mike and his crew have always been a big help to me. First time i went there i was nervous because my late father always fixed my car, and the dealership charges an arm and a leg, so i needed to find an honest person. I found mike on google and after my first time there, he was honest about the issue. Mike's been a big help as well as the staff there always checking on me and updating me on my vehicle. What i could do to prevent things, I've had my vehicle worked on a few times and i am glad he takes pride and honesty in what he does.

Inland Auto has been our choice for our car and truck for years. Very professional, HONEST, affordable pricing and all scheduled work done in a timely matter.

Mike at Inland Auto did a great job working on our Lexus is250. They were able to fix a clicking sound in the rear and a very rough ride by replacing the rear struts. It now drives extremely smooth and I couldn't be happier with his service. They are much better than any shop I've taken it to before. He had the car done in only one day. I'm glad I was able to find an honest shop in the area.

Like a lot of folks I am skeptical of auto repair garages. When my Lexus needed brakes I called the dealer first to establish a benchmark. No surprises the costs seemed high. I did a Google search and identified three local garages with good reviews to contact. Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to the negotiations but knew it needed done.When I called Inland Auto I briefly spoke to Mike and felt his quote was competitive and he seemed professional. Still not 100% convinced I made an appointment for brake inspection only. I didn't want a bait and switch experience. Mike and his team quickly diagnosed my brake issue confirming the quote I received over the phone. In addition they had all the parts needed for this repair and was told they cold knock it out in about an hour. Mike suggested that we visit Inland Wharf (a brewery close by) which we did and appreciated the recommendation. We also walked over to 8-bit brewing. Within the hour Mike texted that my car was ready to be picked up.The "Moment of Truth" (is there going to be an upsell or a pressure sell?!) I was pleasantly surprised that not only were there none of these shenanigans but the bill was a few dollars below the quoted amount!All in all, if you are looking for an honest and dependable garage make sure to do your due diligence but make sure to give Mike and the team at Inland Auto a call. Going forward, my family and I consider Inland Auto our goto first stop.

Mike was willing to work on my older vehicle which needed several repairs and upgrades. He did great work and didn't mind ordering and installing custom parts from a couple sources to meet the goals we decided on. He made more than a dozen improvements to my car, some minor, some major. In the end, he delivered exactly what we discussed. I highly recommend Inland Auto!

A nice, clean shop owned by Mike and staffed with very knowledgeable and trustworthy mechanics. They work on both foreign and domestic vehicles. We've brought our cars here for over a decade. Fair prices coupled with excellent repair work and outstanding customer service. Open Saturdays. We love it here and we'll keep coming back.

After being left on hold for 15 minutes, I was told the part I needed was very expensive and the job would cost around $1500. He was insulted when I asked how much the part was, which he finally responded "I don't know $600?" What do you mean you don't know you just said you looked it up, now you're making up prices? I asked if I could bring in my own part and he said they don't do that here. I'm lucky his bad attitude and quotes based on thin air kept me far away from his more than likely horrible repair quality.

I had my water-pump/thermostat/timing-belt replaced on my '03 Toyota Tundra; I am very pleased.I got same-day service and a fair estimate up-front with the final price very nearly the same.They installed all genuine Toyota parts; at a substantial savings compared to what my local Toyota dealership wanted.Mike, the manager, is courteous, knowledgeable and helpful; there was coffee and DirecTV in the waiting area.I would recommend Inland Auto to any Toyota owner that wants a good trustworthy alternative to dealer service.

I had a great experience at Inland Auto. Mike Mattes took the time to take a test ride with me. He quickly identified the source of a vibration that the local dealership could not find. They fixed the problem for much less than I anticipated. On top of that they fixed another issue that had been a long time frustration and didn't charge me for it. Inland Auto did great work, charged a fair price and gave me a feeling of confidence that they were not trying to make a quick buck. They seem to be more interested in developing long term customer relationships based on trust. If you want to go to a shop there they take the time to explain things and give you a fair deal. This is the place.

Mike is as honest as they get. He will only recommend issues that are in need of repair. Uses OEM parts and actually shows you the parts that were removed before disposing of them. I won't take my cars to anyone else in the Temecula Valley area.

This place was super helpful. I'd taken my car to another shop (California auto) and the lady I was dealing with was super rude and wouldn't give me a quote for my vehicle repairs. I got a referral from AAA for inland auto and they were amazing. They were super efficient and treated me like a customer not an inconvenience. I would recommend this shop to anyone needing a good repair shop. They do great work and they treat you with respect.

First time in to get my brakes replaced on my Toyota Sequoia, everything was good. About a month later I returned for a fuse replacement & oil change. After working on my car, Mike was very harsh with me. He told me that they are not an oil changing place and I should take it to grease monkey or somewhere like that next time. Even though they have a sign on the front counter saying if you post a review, you will get a discount on your oil change. You don't want my money, fine, I'll take it somewhere else. After leaving, I noticed they left a dirty rag in my car

First off I hardly make reviews even if the service is great, but boy does business exhibit customer service BEYOND great.Mike and Gabe specifically were EXTREMELY professional and easy to work with.Mike worked with my insurance company and was able to get a full engine swap in my vehicle (parts and labor ALL covered)This was the first car i bought with my own $$ and I love this car, when they ran the diagnostic and told me how my engine grenaded (bullet sized holes blown through the engine, connecting rods being jammed through the pistons) I almost teared up at the thought of having to can the vehicleIf their excellent customer service wasn't enough, they somehow managed to get the new engine delivered, replaced, and had my car up and ready to drive all within less than 5 days. My car now runs better than when I first got it, we all have our horror stories about scheming mechanics and shady business, but not these guys.This business radiates honesty and integrity from Mike (who i believe is the owner) and specifically Gabe (who even stayed 30mins past closing just to wait for me so I could pick my car up because I had been caught in traffic) and the expertise of the mechanics who quickly and concisely handled my Vehicle.Anyone reading this review MUST stop by, Inland Auto is top notch in the area and have earned my business for the rest of my days in Temecula.Great Job guys, keep up the good work, if i could leave 6/5 stars I would.Thank you.

Very fast and great quality of service. I brought my car in to get inspected for a leak and got a call back immediately with what the problem was. They gave me a great price and even discounted me after repairing my car. Definitely will recommend this shop.Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair

I was referred to Mike at Inland Auto about 3 years ago after relocating to Temecula from Orange County. I have always received honest - good work and fair prices. And I have always been treated like a valued customer and not just another number.

I am more than happy and satisfied with the service I received here. Mike went above and beyond to help with my situation. There was an issue with the warranty on my GMC and Mike went out of his way to assist me. I'm very thankful and will definitely be coming here for routine service.

Isn't it normal to call different auto repair shops to see who can fix your car with the lowest price?Well, I called this place to get an estimate price, but the person who answered the phone was extremely rude and insulted me for wanting aftermarket parts instead of original parts. I told him that I already went to two auto repair shops to get an estimate price and he kept asking why I didn't just let them fix my car.

I brought my daughter's 2005 Pontiac Vibe in for check engine light and also got a radiator replaced. Very honest mechanic and only took one day. Will bring my other cars into this excellent place when they need service.
