Costa Mesa Auto Repair

Excellent work and service!

I have been going here for years and I recommend the team to everyone I know. Honest estimates and evaluations of the issues with clear communication on what needs to be fixed and the nice to have maintenances that can be preformed. You will not be pushed but you will be presented with facts you can work with.

Adam is a very stand up guy and one of the only people I truly trust leaving my 2001 Cobra with. Very fair and really appreciate him and his team’s great work !!

With not driving much throughout the Pandemic, I wanted to have my car checked out to see that it was still in good shape. Have used Saddleback Automotive for years and everyone is so nice and friendly and they do a great job with my (or any) car. I highly recommend them for anything your car may need.

The best and most trusted mechanic shop in town. Very honest and hard working guys. Aaron is the best mechanic around and they can work on every car for a fair price.

I actually found Saddleback Automotive because they rent out rooftop tents, but while I was there I asked Adam if they could provide an estimate for some work I needed done on my 97 4Runner. I'm glad I did because man, did they deliver. I had recently replaced my steering rack and outer tie rods so I was due for an alignment. I also need to replace my CV axles because both of mine had torn boots so I wanted to get both things done at the same time. I had purchased all the parts to do this because initially I wanted to take care of it myself, but I usually use my friend's garage and didn't want to bother him anymore than I already had. A few other well reviewed shops wanted $500+ just in labor to install the CVs (that I was supplying!) so I was at a standstill. Enter Adam and Saddleback Automotive. They took care of the CV install for me for just 2 hours of labor, the alignment for a very reasonable price and a few oil leak repairs that I knew were there, but was holding off on addressing. All this was done within 2 days and at prices I was happy to pay. Communication was great throughout the process and my truck is running better than ever. I didn't have a go-to shop before, but I definitely do now. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Saddleback Auto to anyone. Services: Vehicle Inspection, Steering & suspension repair, Engine repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Steering & suspension replacement, Wheel alignment
