Auto Repair in Brea, CA

“I have been coming to Community Tires for over 15 years. They are always extremely professional and helpful. While I was waiting for my car to be completed, a new customer was sitting with me and she was nervous that they would tell her they found all kinds of problems with her car when she only came in for one issue. I smiled because in all the years I've been coming here, I've never had that experience but certainly related to why she was concerned. A few minutes later her car was ready and she was happy to find there was no reason to anticipate any "extra" charges. This team is top shelf and I would gladly recommend them to everyone I know!”

“Caliber does amazing work and the friendly employees are great about communicating updates. I would return here for any future work and I would recommend it all my friends and family”

“I'm back again and Carlos is the man!! Very knowledgeable, empathetic to my concerns and extremely helpful. Love coming here because as a female we are always taken advantage of and this place is honest!”

“Have been taking my Lexus here for a little over two years and every interaction has been fair and forthcoming. I’ve never once felt I was being taken advantage of. The guys have been very helpful and do a great job. Thanks!”

“Charlie and Mike are the best! My family has been loyal customers, taking our Chrylser, Ford, Lexus and Mercedes Benz to them for over a decade. They have nearly a century of combined experience and do quality work no matter the car or job. Additionally for our Mercedes Benz, they truly know what they are doing, being sure to meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. I know because we used to take our cars to Firestone and they not only failed to perform proper service on it, but forgot to disable the automatic break calibration system and broke several other components while replacing my breaks.If you want your car to last, and you want the job done right, don't mess around and trust the professionals at Charlie's auto tech!”

“Willy is the best. I trust him with my truck and the quality of work I get there. He is quick, but also up front if there is a little wait. It was so hard to find a good mechanic that is honest. This place is it!!!”

“So, we have a family mechanic, and they suggested to us to come here to Brea Auto Electric, because they couldn't fix what's going on with my truck. In the first 15 minutes of Kevin being under the hood, hooked up to the OBD2, he was able to physically explain what/why, and give me ideas on how to move forward. Quality shop, looks like a junk yard, but that's an aesthetic. If you don't get it, you won't understand ? I'll definitely be adding this place to my list of trusted shops.”

“For the second time in three months, I was in need of auto body repair for our cars. I was stopped at a light in my newly purchased used 2020 Infiniti QX-60 when I was rear-ended in August and my daughter backed her new 2023 Mazda CX-5 into another car last week in our church parking lot. Both needed rear bumper replacements in addition to additional parts hidden behind the bumper. We received great customer service throughout the repair process on both cars. They were ready to be picked up sooner than we expected and both looked as good as new. I think my vehicle actually looked better than when I bought it just six months ago from the dealer. You would never know either vehicle had been in an accident. Both repair experiences were the best I have ever had at an auto body repair shop. Unfortunately for me, I have had more than my share of these repair experiences. There is no doubt where I will be having all future auto body repairs done. Crash Champions in Brea is the only auto body shop I will be using as long as I live in Orange County.Service: Painting”

“I recently took my truck here for some maintenance and also to replace my suspension. Rob and his team took great care of me. I have recommended all my friends and family to go here as they are genuinely honest and pricing is very reasonable. It's difficult to find a shop to trust these days but this one definitely stands out.”

“Shout out to Nolan, Aiden, Randy Daniel for being so chill and helping me out with patching my tire. I was able to do a walk-in. Friendly staff here, don't hesitate to come here for your tire needs.”

“I've been going here for years and I've highly recommended them to many people who also have had good experiences! They are very honest and fairly priced, and once even walked me through fixing a mechanical problem I had over the phone at no charge! :-D”

“I was having some car problems and as a woman who knows nothing about cars, it's hard to trust on a mechanic... I went and saw Ray at the Import Service Centre, he was incredibly helpful.He provided clear guidance on what needed immediate attention and what I could hold off on for a while, It was reassuring to have someone genuinely assist me rather than pushing unnecessary services. I'm pleased to have found a mechanic I can trust!”

“Honest mechanic, My dad has been coming to this Wilson’s since I was young & now myself and wife both trust Wilson to work on our car.Services: Transmission”

“Bring all your European car problems to Brea Brake &Radiator. Come on in and see Jim or Tim. Not only do they take care of the European stuff they take care of everthing from large trucks to Mini Cooper's”

“Found them on Google and tried them out today for oil change, and I think I will definitely come back for other services in the future. Carlos was very friendly and just a kind hearted soul, he answered all my questions I had about my car and explained thoroughly so that I can understand in plain language. I didn’t see any unnecessary up charges during my visit, was in and out in less than an hour. Highly recommendable for locals who don’t know too much about cars, they’re honest and professional!”

“Had my RAV4 serviced today for oil change, tire rotation, all filters changed, all wipers changed and brakes inspected. Was kept up to date on my service and completed on time. Very reasonable cost. Very happy with their service.”

“Frank was straightforward and honest. He identified why our wheel was shaking and to my surprise it wasn't wheel balance. He balanced and rotated the tires per the original estimate and provided costs for the long term repair without high pressure sales tactics. He was polite, professional, and timely. It's too bad a few people had bad experiences but the car repair industry is a mixed bag and unless you have a moderate understanding of how to repair a car it's easy to associate one issue with an unrelated issue. Also, if you have a car that isn't maintained and over 75,000 miles you are likely going to need parts replaced and unfortunately repairs get expensive. Also, it's very possible to have more than one thing wrong with your car at a time. Hopefully you have the same experience we did but if not try to find a good mechanic you trust. Even then the best mechanics make mistakes and miss things. Hopefully they will stand behind their work when issues arise.”

“Came to Big O Tires after I heard air leaking out of one of my valve stems. I pulled up and Mike approached me, checked it out, and got on it right away. Rudy Torres, the manager, hooked me up and was extremely professional. They told me I needed all 4 replaced, so I decided to get them all taken care of. I was in and out in less than 30 min. Thank you Rudy and Mike for helping me out and hooking me up. Rudy didn't even charge me extra for the other 3 valve stems. Great customer service, will def be back whenever I need a tire fix or new tires. Don't hesitate to come to Big O Tires, Rudy will make sure you get what you need.”

“They sent a tow truck to us and it took awhile to arrive. When the man checked under the hood with all his equipment and couldn't locate the problem via his attachments he then asked for the keys and inserted them repeatedly ( 6 times) into the door and then he started the engine up immediately. Who knew the kill switch was directly linked to the alarm? Sure made us believers. He apologized for our wait and we told him we heard there was a lil traffic jam on hilltop and L st due to an accident and not to worry. Just very professionally savvy and polite to apologize for his late arrival when it was beyond his control. Nice kid.”

“I needed an oil change and also needed my tires rotated. I arrived early (Wal-Mart in Brea) at 730am and there was one car ahead of me...yay! I explained to the mechanic Juan, while he was writing up my work order, that I needed an oil change and my tires rotated. The oil change was no problem but I needed to have an appointment for everything else and there was a car already scheduled for 8am. The next available opening was 9am same day...alright no problem I'll wait. I had my cell phone and my coffee with me I'll be ok Walking into the auto department I found out the customer waiting lounge no longer existed... what the #%€! There was 2 chairs against the wall and across the room another 2 chairs...no tv to watch nor coffee maker like before. Great...NOT! I settled myself onto a chair and waited... Juan came back to me with a few questions about which oil type I preferred and was soon back to work in the auto bays. There were 2 mechanics working their tails off Juan and Jose, one was bringing in a set of 4 tires into the auto bay, then running in and ringing up customers then back outside to the auto bays. Briefly there was a guy from the Fishing licensing dept answering the phones and then he was gone. Other customers came in and waited... I then explained they needed to ring the bell for service...good luck! Meanwhile I got up and looked around for an air filter for the car. Juan came back within the hour with my keys and explained that the work was done and he had already paged for another person ring me up. I explained I still needed the tires rotated.. to my astonishment they went ahead and took care of that while the car was there in the auto bay! WOW Amazing! I was ecstatic and really surprised. Well.. Jose ended up ringing me up anyways and I soon found out the air filter I was buying was the wrong one. He soon found the correct item and told to me to ask Jose if he would just put it in for me before I leave. Amazingly he did! I was very happy! He explained that replacing a dirty air filter improves performance and saves gas...nice to know! I was and am totally impressed!! The auto mechanics really work very hard and they need a dedicated cashier helper so that they can do their work without interruptions. This would have been 5 stars but with NO CUSTOMER WAITING LOUNGE to wait in while my car is being serviced so it's a 4 star review. *There really needs to be a lounge because the wait can be very long and the idea of walking around shopping sounds good but the reality is auto work is expensive and I can't shop in case there's a problem they find. My take away is 1. Arrive EARLY 2. Appt required for auto work before arriving 3. Bring coffee and prepare to wait 4. There's no place to plug your cell phone into while waiting on a chair against the Wall”

“Well, he painted my 1983 Chevy Elk Camino back in January 2001 and it still looks amazing. So, I can only think after all these years they've only gotten better. Still get compliments and ppl think I've misspoke when I tell them how long ago it was painted. He painted exterior, interior, jams, bed and inside hood.”
