I can’t say enough good things about Orange Auto Center. From the moment I walked in, I felt respected and taken care of. They took the time to explain everything and never pressured me into unnecessary repairs.
The work was done quickly and at a reasonable price. My car runs better than it has in a long time. This is definitely my go-to auto shop from now on! Amazing family business for decades. Thank you Abe and Saliba for your excellent service.
My opinion is a little biased being my dad is part owner, but he is one of the most genuine people out there. He truly cares about his customers, and wants to do right by everyone. He’s been working on cars since he was a young boy with his dad. I’m lucky to have learned so many good qualities from him. It’s a wonderful family business. ☺️♥️
I have been taking my cars to this family run business for years. They are very professional, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Very fair rates also. They always seem to make time for me and get me in their schedule.
Jim at Orange Auto Center has always been great to work with. Polite, responsive and accurate estimates. They work around my schedule and get the work done properly, on time and per the estimate. I trust Jim to deal with my daughter’s directly on all of their car maintenance. Trustworthy & dependable!
I am so thrilled to find a great auto repair place that has very reasonable pricing, honest & absolutely the best mechanics. Trust me, my searching is done...my Acura is VERY happy!
I was visiting California for a couple days and I noticed that my tire was having a hard time holding air. Upon further investigation, there was a nail in my tire.
I went to the closed Big O'Tires thinking they would be similar to what I'm used to experiencing back at home. When I got there, they had a 2 hour wait for me before they'd even get to my tire.
After calling around to about 7 or 8 other tire auto shops that all told me the same wait time, I called Orange Auto Center. They told me that I wouldn't have a wait for a mechanic and the job should only take around 30 minutes.
I drove over at once and they instantly got to my car and took in the back to assess the tire.
I waited maybe 30-40 minutes (which I didn't mind), and the mechanic said he was all done. Told me that he took care of the nail and notice my valve in that tire wasn't completely sealed, so he sealed it.
I appreciate the work they did for me in such a timely manner. I was able to get back to my home safe and sound on that repaired tire, so I'd say that they did a perfect job for me. ??
DISHONEST CROOK // STAY AWAY
Just a read a recent review with a similar experience. I gave the guy my car with the security light and locked key/no start symptoms. I told him all of the issues I was having and that the ECU that was in the car probably wasn't programmed properly when replaced. He said he can fix it, he looked confident he could do so.
He notifies me my car is fixed and ready. I travel an hour to get to his shop and he tells me "the check engine light is still on". I'm wildly confused because the check engine light wasn't on when I gave it to him. He proceeds to tell me that it was. I actually have a code reader myself and when trying to diagnose the initial problem checked for CEL codes. At this point he's still asking for payment. The car did start, but this was an intermittent problem, as told. He proceeds to tell me the reason my car is messed up is because of the engine light, not the ECM, and I shouldn't have changed that, EVEN THO MY ISSUE WAS THE ECM! I never had a Check Engine Light on in the first place. He also proceeds to tell me that the last ECM was fine but it just wasn't programmed (He had the ability to just program that one for less) Only to 5min later say he didn't check the old ECM at all. He was spinning all over the place to absolve any responsibility
SINA, then offers a wager...
IF he puts the old ECM back in and the check engine light is still on, I owe him an additional $150. If it doesn't come back on, then I guess "oh well, all is good now!"
So to make his customers rest assured he says "you better be right or you're fee is out the wazoo"
He typed a generic invoice up that also doesn't explicitly mention a check engine light, like any other shop would for liability reasons..and didn't even have my correct license plate on it. We both inspected the car at the time of delivery, and I verbally mentioned just the security light being on.
HERE'S THE KICKER!!
MY CAR RAN FOR 24HOURS AND THEN BACK TO IT'S ORIGINAL BRICK STATE
Not to mention his POS machine doesn't work so I was forced to give him cash, so now no real financial record.
HE BASICALLY ROBBED ME FOR $360
TRASH BUSINESS!
Greeted by owner, very friendly man who explained options and price quote up front. Was able to get us in and fix our vehicle in short order. Price was lower than the quote. If we ever need these services again, we will come back. Highly recommend!!!
Highly recommend!
Honest, genuine mechanic was very helpful. I had the same problem with my car 2 other times, and he gave me a price nearly half of what the others charged.
10/10, would visit again for any future car issues
I took my car here for a check engine light. Aamco next door would not look at it that morning, so I thought I would take a chance. They put on a new gas cap that i had bought, reset the light and off i drove. Too bad for me, that was not it, so i returned for them to do a $75 diagnostic. They found a $150 and a $900 problem. He fixed the less expensive one, gave me credit for the diagnostic, and said to drive it a bit and bring it back to fix the other if the light did not stay off. Yay! After 1 1/2 years, my check engine light stays off! I am happy with the work and the service.
