Hi, I was absolutely panicking when my alternator and battery went out while driving to work on the 91 freeway this morning. I pulled over and Googled the closest repair shop, and I was towed to CMI ?. I was met by Veronica who runs the front desk. What a beautiful person she is. She asked me what was going on with the car. I told her the battery light had come on and the car wouldn't start. She was very efficient and ordered an alternator and battery before the technician arrived on site to assess the situation. It turns out that is exactly what was needed to replace. The technician is an expert in Toyotas and was very efficient in installing the parts and even checking other things on the car that will need to be replaced soon, like, the drive belts and informing me of an oil leak. I drove out of CMI feeling as though my safety was their only priority, and I was very impressed and pleased with their service. I highly recommend taking your car there for reliable, reasonable, repair service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you CMI for your good work. We've taken all four of our vehicles there for a variety of service and have always been happy with the work, professionalism and price. Everyone needs a trustworthy mechanic - Carlos (and his team) is ours.

San, I agree with Tom. The guy that has been running your shop is not doing you justice! I've been with you and Dave for more than 20 years. CMI has always been the best, treating customers with honesty and integrity. The new guy was actually trash talking you, Dave and Gus. He kept on even after I told him how long I've known you guys. PLEASE come back and get someone with your level of awesome in there while you are away! Would love to change this back to the 5 stars CMI has earned through all of those UPDATE: The new owner hired a manager who is really good. The trash talker is gone. They've done a couple jobs for us, one of which required a second trip to fix something that was missed the 1st time around. 4 stars for now. We're hopeful they will bring the shop back to San's standards of service.

Not knowing much about cars, and worried about being quoted an unreasonable price, I came here a little anxious. Fortunately, the staff was very friendly, efficient and were able to get my car (A Fiat) fixed in a day and a half! The service was great, and I will definitely be heading back here when I need to get my car fixed up again!

The entire staff is friendly and Carlos is very honest with repairs that need to be done. He even took pictures of the issues I told him I was having with my car. The service was done quickly. Definitely recommend. Prices completely reasonable as well.

Just wanted to let Yelpers know that San sold the shop to a new owner. I'm not sure how long ago that took place but from the most recent reviews, it looks like at least a few months. I called last week to schedule an oil change and that's when I found out from the gentleman who answered the phone. I ended up going to another place for service due to the last couple reviews I saw on Yelp. San/Dave - Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement! I was so lucky to have you both (and Carlos) service my car over the past 7 years while working in Brea. This place will never be the same without you and thank you again for being honest, hard-working, and dedicated mechanics. My car is all the better for it but most importantly, I looked forward to bringing it there to see you both because I knew you would take care of me! Best of luck and cheers!

Been a loyal customer of San and Dave for many years. They've always treated me well, kept prices low, and have been an honest voice. More recently there were some new people hired, also very kind, helpful, and fair. The only reason I can't give this five stars is the new mechanic promised to have a guy come in to do some repairs on my A/C. What ended up happening was they took my car on a 25 minute drive to Placentia Auto Repair in Anaheim without my verbal or written consent. I was not made aware of this until I came by in person and I noticed my car was missing. To me that felt like a fairly large break of trust and I truly hope to return to CMI (with San or Dave) and for that trust to be renewed.

San, I hope your reading this, your business is taking a hit. I am a regular customer, the person taking over is not you and you make the difference in customer service I tried twice to have a quick look for an issue the person who answers does not have time too busy. San (you) rarely turned away customers. Once customers go elsewhere they sometimes don't return.
