“Glad I found this place! Trustworthy, knowledgeable, transparent, and prices here are hard to beat anywhere else for this level of care they have for your car. Don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment you’ll be taken care of.”
“I’ve been bringing my vehicles to Gary and Roger at Expertec for years, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Their honesty and integrity are unmatched in the industry—something that’s become increasingly rare. Every time I visit, I know I’m getting the straight truth about what my car needs, without any upselling or unnecessary repairs.
Their pricing is always competitive, and they provide exceptional value for the quality of work they deliver. Whether it’s a routine maintenance check or a more complex repair, Gary and Roger handle everything with the utmost professionalism and skill.
In my experience, they are truly the best in the business. Their dedication to their craft and their customers is evident in every job they do. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled mechanic, go to Expertec.”
“This is the third time I've had Honest Auto take care of my car and the experience and customer service was as great as ever. They're very honest, reasonable, provide options, are very accommodating and able to resolve issues quickly. They are patient when it comes to explaining things and make sure you understand, not like other auto bodies where you don't feel comfortable asking questions. Highly recommend Honest Auto.”
“I visited this shop to remove a nail that I had in my tire and they removed it for free. They also reported to me issues that I had with my struts that I could already hear going out in my car. I appreciate that they informed me about that and I appreciate their thoroughness. The removing of the nail in my tire was done quickly. Another plus is that as you wait, you can walk across the street and have a bite to eat at all the different restaurants. And the staff was friendly and professional.”
“Dimas and his shop have been amazing in helping my daughter with her car for the past two years. I highly recommend this shop as they are honest and have great customer service. Thanks for your help and getting her back on the road safe.”
“I have been using Pep Boys in Costa Mesa for over 15 years and have never been disappointed. Mr. Kelly has been my point of contact for first word on any issues with our 4 vehicles.”
“Done business with him for about 30 years though thankfully I no longer have the Plymouth horison that piece of scrap had three inches of repair paperwork when I sold it to a young couple when mother could no longer drive. Very wide experience even up to motor coaches. This is the real one on Placentia. Others may use the name but this is the guy.”
“I’m a couple weeks late writing this review so I apologize as these are the most amazing people I have ever met. I was on my way to take my 2 week old to his first pediatrician appointment. When I got into the Dr office parking lot I could hear air leaking from my tire. My wife took the baby and I quickly jumped in the car to find the closest place to get it fixed. Thank god it was Grand Prix Performance. I told the gentleman that was behind the counter what happened and he said “we got you, go be with your wife and baby”. I was able to walk back and be with my son for his first doctors appointment. When I returned to their shop, I didn’t know what to expect. I have been in the automotive industry before and I’ve seen some shady characters take advantage of customers in situations like that. A gentleman told me that my car was all set and they patched my tire. I asked him what I owe to which he responded “ you are all set” I said please you guys are amazing let me pay something. His response “family is the most important thing, this we did for your son.” Like I said truly amazing people and I am a customer for life. I will be sending everybody and anybody I can get them.”
“Chauster is always a cool dude. Even if im not sure what might be wrong he gets what im trying to say, or explain. Fair prices...good turn around time and will call regarding possible scope of work and estimate before starting repairs. Im so lucky found this place, and it's super close to my house”
“What a difference Mac's Auto Care made, they provided me an invoice along with a print out of the before and current measurements from the alignment. I didn't get that from the "other" place that I was going to, ever.”

1725 Superior Ave, Costa Mesa“I needed all four new tires!
Donny and his staff at Allen Tires were so friendly and knowledgeable and put me right at ease!
The tire change and balance was fast and affordable!
I highly recommend Allen Tires!”
“Augustin and his team did an amazing job with my car. I needed the door replaced and some dents repaired, and it was a bit complicated because it was all through insurance. He let me bring my car in immediately, worked with my insurance, provided me with updates, and made the complete repair within about a week (and replaced my tail light, too!). They do solid work and are very dependable and kind. It's also in a convenient, quiet area. I definitely recommend taking your car here for service and repairs. Thank you A & R!”

322 E 17th St, Costa Mesa“As a level seven local guide on Google, John is undoubtedly one of our most exceptional customer service representatives, and his distinctive cowboy boots add a touch of personal flair to his professional demeanor. I have consistently relied on this establishment to fulfill all of our tire-related requirements, and they have consistently exceeded our expectations. Their expertise encompasses a wide range of vehicles, from tractors to high-performance automobiles like Ferraris. I highly recommend their services, and I am genuinely surprised that their rating is only 4.1 stars; I genuinely believe it should be significantly higher.”
“America’s Tire on Bristol street is a well oiled machine, this place is awesome, special thanks to Ricky Z. And Tom! They were not only fast and efficient (during a rush of people I might add) but super friendly and knowledgeable. I’m definitely coming back when I need new tires and bringing my wife’s car here when she needs new tires. You can tell they all work well together, I read some of the one star comments and they are silly and super picky just ignore them, those people will complain about anything. Anyway these guys deserve a raise.”

824 W 19th St, Costa Mesa“These guys are the absolute best! Absolutely drama free, fairly priced and honest. They’ve replaced and patched tires both for me and get the job done in minutes. Definitely recommend a million times over.”
“Best prices for used tires that I've ever seen. Recommended a size that looked amazing on my car. Helped fix a check engine light that I thought was unrepairable in MINUTES. These guys are the best.”

2255 Fairview Rd, Costa Mesa“This place was great, I will be coming back if my car has any future issues. It was a quick turn around at a good price with clear communication so that's really all one can ask for.The diagnostic investigation was cheap to get an estimate. Called me back in under 2hrs with an update that they found the leak/broken part. Provided me the quote over the phone with the exact price for everything all in (Diagnostic fee, parts, labor, install, with fluids topped off). They completed it all the same day and paid exactly what was quoted. Car no longer leaks and they stand behind their work for 2 years with a warranty.”
“+ Excellent. You didn't excessively charge me in the hundreds of dollars (like other auto shops do). Greatly appreciated.
+ Friendly, helpful, attentive staff.
+ Did everything I asked.
+ No fuss.
- The front parking lot is small.
- I just wish routine auto services didn't take 3hr. Oh well~
- Not the shop's fault, but just a note: the restaurants within walking distance of this auto shop open late morning. If you have an early appt here, the only breakfast place I found was Breakfast Republic. Something to keep in mind.”

2946 Bristol St, Costa Mesa“Can’t Say enough about this Pep Boys crew. While traveling on vacation with a Hertz Rental we got a bad flat tire. Taylor was super helpful and awesome to swap it out even though they were closing for the night.
We had a one year old tired and hungry baby with us and they were all gracious and kind to help us out. Would definitely recommended!”
“I had a fantastic experience with these guys! They were incredibly easy to work with, meticulously checked my car, and efficiently changed my brakes. The prices are affordable, and I highly recommend stopping by. Bonus – they offer a full-detail cleaning service next to them, ensuring your car is ready from A to Z. Stop here for quality service!”
