John is an amazing wealth of knowledge. Just all around great shop, honest and excellent service. If you have an Acura or Honda that needs service then this is the place!

The short story? Always fair prices. Always welcoming. Always knowledgable. 5 stars for John and his team taking care of my 2012 orange Honda Fit. My family has taken our Honda/Acuras there for many years now. If they can't do a job, or shouldn't, they will tell you. Some things don't need doing, they'll tell you. I've had them install outside parts, but only new OEM or otherwise high quality parts, like they'd want a good client to bring. Relationships with mechanics are special. You're supposed to go in having done SOME homework beforehand. No matter what you've seen on reddit or honda-tech, they've seen it before. Don't pretend like you know more, give them whatever they ask, and hope that they'll still be around in 15 years. Just like your parents.

John & his staff are among the best in maintaining our Hondas throughout the years at reasonable prices. We had them change timing belts/water pumps, brakes, oil changes & trust their work since they specialize in Hondas & Acuras.

Jon is the most honest and affordable mechanic I've ever delt with. Kiwi Motors have been servicing my Hondas for over 20yrs.

The best place to service your Acura. The guys there are extremely friendly, they know what they are doing and best of all their charges are super reasonable. Would recommend them any day, any time !

John is great. Takes care of my Honda and very reasonable prices. I feel confident I can trust his diagnosis and fix problems in my vehicle.

Even though the thumbnail shows a 73' Chevy Camaro (They only work on Honda's)This shop is AMAZING! Awesome Service. If you have a Honda, this is where you should have work done.

John has to be the most honest mechanic I've ever dealt with. They are fast, reliable and very reasonable on price. This is my third car they have serviced consistently. I can honestly say that my cars would not have lasted nearly as long as they did without John's expert advice and efficient work on them. Keep up the good work guys!

My family has been using Jon for years - he is the best local mechanic. Completely trustworthy and always gives you the best deal. Has a great reputation around the valley and everyone loves him. The best place to take your Honda or Acura!

This place is absolutely amazing. Manny and John are super professional and in my opinion best in Santa Clarita easily. Amazing prices, very nice people, very very knowledgeable and fast. If you have a Honda or Acura this place is it. I usually do not leave a auto mechanic shop happy, but these guy made my day. Thank you John, thank you Manny, I will tell all my friends and family about you. God bless.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Auto engine diagnostic, Air conditioning, Brake service & repair, Oil change

I had a mechanic up here in the antelope valley work on my S2000 . The guy said my engine was in need of a major repair!! But enter John at kiwi motors and he fixed it by doing a simple valve adjustment. Hands down an honest and skillful man. If you want your Honda fixed right at an honest and good price, then this is the place for you

I have been taking my Hondas to John and his associates at Kiwi for over a decade. Great technical skills and highly ethical service. I am happy to be able to recommend this shop without reservation.

I recommend this place. John is awesome. He took care of my vehicle and addressed all the problems it had. He is an honest person and really took the time to talk about my car and explain everything to me. Not a lot of mechanics out there that will do that. Will definitely be coming back for future repairs.

A great place to get your car repaired, I trust them with whatever they recommend. Very nice and professional, they will answer your questions fully and based on a wealth of experience. I highly recommend their services.

5-plus stars!!! Kept my old Civic alive for 18 years and 324,000 miles. Our decision to buy another Civic, and replace our Toyota with a Honda, is at least in part to the confidence and trust we have with John and Manny. They are brilliant!

After 8 years of being ripped-off by the "service" dept. of AutoNation Honda of Valencia, I took the recommendation of many local Honda/Acura owners and brought our 2007 Accord to Kiwi. Jon is a person of flawless integrity and one of (if not the) most honest auto mechanics I have ever encountered. My only regret is not coming here 8 years ago.Thanks Jon and Manny!!!

Jon and Manny are terrific, I've used many auto repair shops here and in other cities, and even the best of other auto repair shops don't hold a candle to Kiwi. I literally try to buy Honda's because Kiwi's service is honest, reasonable, and fast. By specializing in just Honda's and Acura's they know these cars better than any general mechanic can. I can't tell you the number of times that I've gone in and Jon just sends me on my way with NO charge... "we'll just catch it next time". Last time was just a couple of weeks ago, car was running rough, with the warning lights on, I drive it in, expecting to leave it there, Jon immediately diagnoses it as a bad spark plug, finds a used one around the shop, replaces and send me on my way with a car running perfectly again - just get some new spark plugs soon and get a specific brand. I couldn't be more appreciative of them. If you have a Honda, there is no other place to go.Kevin

I have be taking my Honda's to John and Manny for 14 years. Honest and very fair priced. I have even tried to keep my cars in the Honda family so I can keep taking them here!

The best Honda mechanic in Socal, possibly everywhere. He charges fair prices, does amazing work, and honestly I'm not gonna. Buy any other cars besides Hondas because I trust him that much.

I've been taking my Hondas and Acuras to John at Kiwi for my entire adult life. His work is excellent and prices great. I hesitate to buy other makes for fear of losing out on such a great mechanic.

When we need a new car, we buy a Honda because we know that we have the best mecchanic around. John is honest and reasonable. Although I have moved, I will have my car serviced here whenever I am in town.

Hands down the best Honda shop I've ever been to in 45 years of driving Hondas. 100% trust and confidence in John. Nothing more to say.

As someone who is both a road racing enthousiast and a honda enthousiast I can not recomend him enough I had my track cars srrviced by him and my sisters car. Great guy and workmanship you can trust on track or the street.

Kiwi motors gives dealer-like service without the high dealer prices. Since it's a small shop, the mechanics themselves talk to you on a personal level and explain the type of repairs needed without trying to add extra services that aren't necessary. After getting an estimate from the Honda dealer, I went to Kiwi motors and they were literally 50% off from the dealer. Bottomline: Dealer quality without the dearler prices!

They have always been honest and reasonable every time I take my old bucket (94 Honda Accord) to them. They have kept it running way longer than I ever thought it would last!!
