Tomvo's Auto in
Santa Ana (CA)

Tom and Thomas are the best. So thankful for their help. I have been coming here for about 10 years and they've always been honest and helpful in saving me money by doing only doing what's prudent and necessary. I've been sent home several times without having paid them for services because it was determined I didn't really have an issue or it wasn't going to substantively improve or fix my vehicle. In fact, that was my absolutely first experience with them ... And that is what brought me back so many times over the years through all of the vehicles we've cycled through. Super grateful for this shop and I have recommended them to all of my friends. Edit: Tom sent me home again today ... Thought I had brake problems. No problems. 😀 Still five stars for me!

Finally, an honest and ethical mechanic!! Took my wife's car here for an electrical issue on her car, or so we told by someone else. He diagnosed the issue right away, now my wife's car is back on the road. Thanks guys, I'll recommend your shop if any of my friends need any help.

Not too many auto electric specialists in OC, fortunately theirs this one. Tom is honest, gets the job done right and his repair rates are great. It's refreshing to do business with for reputable repair shop. Glad I found this place.

Tom is very honest and knows his business well. p Prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend using Tom for your car repairs.

I had a bad oil leak and feared the worse! I was referred to Tomvo by two individuals and woah I am so grateful I came here! Fast!! Honest!! Reasonable!! Most of all he spoke to me respectfully and didn’t try to hike up the cost with unwanted and unneeded extras!!! Thanks so much and I will return next time I need mechanic services and also continue to refer!!!

Been taking my cars to Tomvo for decades. Honest, fair and quality. What more do you want from a mechanic. Get to know these guys, they are just good people. Thank you Tomvo Auto

If you’re searching for auto repair you should just stop now and give Tomvo a call. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years. Tom and Thomas are fantastic. They’re honest, hard working and just really good people. I’ve sent many family, friends and coworkers here over the years and continue to do so. Great service and great prices!

Tom, is the man! I have a built Offroad Gen 1 Ford Raptor truck that has an electrical issue with the passenger taillight. I pulled in and Tom got right on it. After 30 mins he got it fixed and gave me some things to check on going forward that may be causing the issue located in the BCM. Very fair pricing and knowledge. I drove 40 mins and it was worth it! 👍👍

Tom, dee and Thomas are the best people I have known on car matters for 25 years and I have referred several people to them. Very HONEST, COURTEOUS, HELPFULL, AND EXPERTS IN AUTOMOTIVE ISSUES. They will never cheat their customers and infact will save customers money! They amaze me with their honesty

Family owned shop. You can't buy honesty And that's what Tom and his team of mechanics have to offer. Very good prices and very knowledgeable of their craft. Can't recommend this place enough. Excellent service and all jobs are guaranteed 👍

Thomas answered the phone and was very busy and told me to schedule an appointment next Wednesday, but due to the urgency I had about an electrical issue with my car MFS , he provided advice and helped me out over the phone ! What a great guy !

This place Tom Vo Auto Repair is great and great service. I was so happy with his services and I wanted thank you him for helping me out to fix my car at that time. He and his crew did the best job or my Rar4 until this day my Rar4 still running good. I would like recommend to the Vietnamese community that if you needed to repair your car and also someone you can trust, no games then please Tom Vo Auto Repair on Harbor and Fith is the place for your car and your services at this time. Thanh you brother Tom👍🏻

I took my old car that had been sitting in my drive way for 3 years and they where very helpful. After explaining what had been previously wrong with my car I was able to tow my car in, due to work I couldn't go in person, and they called me with updates. They explained everything to me in a way that I could understand which helped in making decisions. It was pinpointed to be the alternator and after it being replaced my car has not had issues. When I went to take it out of NPO and pay for the registration, they did my smog check right before. They even called me the next day to follow-up and asked if I have had any issues. Honest people and great costumer service. Highly recommend 👌

Best mechanic I have ever taken my van to. When I had an electrical issue with my van and 3 other electrical mechanics couldn't or wouldn't help me, I went to tomvos they were patient and figured out the problem and fixed it. Thank you!

Tom is the best I have taken my SUV here twice after I had a mechanic on fairview "fix my car". Tom diagnosed the issue in 5 minutes or so when my old mechaninc needed days to figure out what was wrong. Tom cleaned up this mechanics work fast and cheap! Quality is excellent he doest give you the run around he gets the car fixed! He doesn't take shortcuts and hooks everything up the right way. This is the only spot I will be taking my car now!

Top services, fast and the best in town. Best choice for any electric problems. Tom is fair and does great work. Mark Gruner

Amazing service, friendly staff and brutally honest. My Chevy Cobalt 2005 computer module related issue got fixed in an instant. Don't be shy, ask them anything, they are amazingly honest. Will come back

Best place to go for your car ! They are very helpful and friendly, will be coming here from now on for my car and anything concerning it. I definitely recommend coming here they are really understanding, helpful and affordable! Thanks a-lot for your help today especially when no other place figured out the electrical problem with my car!😁

I have a 1974 International Scout that I took in for electrical problems. The owner was out front, met me and although he was working on another car, took the time to look at mine. Within a minute he knew what the problem was and it turned out to be an easy fix. He told me how to fix it and suggested I try it myself. He sent me off without a charge and now it runs with no electrical problems. I would recommend this place to others.

I am so glad that I found an HONEST and CAPABLE auto repair shop! When my check engine light came on and indicated a cylinder misfire, I drove from Oceanside to Westminster because I knew Tomvo would not try to oversell and overcharge! A year ago I had another shop tell me I needed brakes. Tomvo checked them and said they still had life left in them. So when a year later, he told me it was time to change the brakes, I felt confident that that was true. I almost hate to give such a great review, because it might make him too busy!! I am not related in anyway, other than being a satisfied customer.

ALWAYS a good experience. Finding Tom Vo was like finding a gold mine, an honest mechnic is a rare find. Can not speak highly enough of the service & value. They will actually tell you what you do NOT need to repair/replace.

Tomvo's will have my business for life! After having 2 years of electrical problems with my car, I took it to Tomvo's. Tom checked it out, and within 15 minutes, diagnosed the issue (voltage regulator in my alternator). He explained everythimg, and KNEW whay symptoms my car was experiencing without me telling him. I took it back to the original mechanic that installed the altdrnator for replacement. And what did Tom charge me for his incredible diagnosis? $0. Where have you ever heard that???!!! They are exemplary and have earned all my bisiness from here on out. Thank you, Tomvo's!

In case you need another testimonial as to why you should take your vehicle to Tomvo, let me share my story with you. Two and a half weeks ago, my check engine light began flashing and the car began running poorly. I took it to my local mechanic, who's done some minor repair work in the past but nothing to this degree. They charged me $425 for the work they supposedly did, but still returned the vehicle to me with a flashing check engine light. They told me to either go to a dealership to have the ECM reprogrammed or to take it to an electrical specialist they recommended. I went to the dealership first, who then said they'd reflash my ECM for $150. Three hours later, I get a call saying the ECM was up-to-date and that it didn't require reflashing. I asked them what was wrong and they told me I had to authorize diagnosis and that the $150 was for reflashing the ECM (which they didn't do, by their own admission.) I decided to cut my losses with the dealership, paid the $150 for work they didn't do, and then went to the electrical specialist. The electrical specialist I was referred to looked massively disorganized, but I've never been in this situation and wanted to take my original mechanic's word for it. They ordered an ECM for me and made me put down a $50 deposit. They told me they'd have it in 5 days; but when 5 days came, they told me they'd have it in another 5 days. 5 days followed after that, and then they said they'd have it in yet another 5 days still. I don't know anyone in SoCal who can be without a car for that long, so I took matters into my own hands and searched for a qualified electrical specialist in the area. That's when I found Tom Vo. I took the vehicle in and they had the issue correctly diagnosed within 10 minutes. 3 hours later, they had a new ECM installed, repogrammed and ready to go. The service was prompt, the pricing was competitive, and both Tom and his son (also Tom) both addressed me like I was a customer and not like I was a money mark for them to make an easy dollar off of. I'm very happy with the work they did and how they treated me. They'll definitely get my business in the future and should be regarded as highly recommended by myself.

Very reliable and honest. I once had an issue with my truck and brought it over to pep boys. They were going to charge me an insane amount. Turns out all I needed was an oil change and pep boys failed to check it for me. He's also been helpful with many other things. I highly recommend. He's always honest and reliable and won't try and rip you off

I moved, but still bring my cars to Tomvo. I've used other shops, and none come close to the honesty that he provides. I highly recommend.

I first found Tom by mistake. I have used him first for electrical work. Something was wrong with my gear shift and he just replaced some part that only costs me like $50. Today, Tom and his guy, replaced my front Honda 2001 accord brakes for $120. They use Honda parts. Earlier in the day, I replaced my tires at Ramos Tires off of Bristol. Those guys tried to convince me to change my brakes for inferior cheap parts for $140 and tried to say I need to change out my rotars. Tom told me my rotars were just fine, for now. I'd recommend giving these guys a try. They are thus far the most honest and thats hard to say about an auto shop.

Tomvo is all about getting your car in n out FAST. Everytime I've visited done excellent job and met expectations or exceeded expectations. Very knowledgeable. The shop is small but do not let the looks deceive you. I much rather take my BMW here than to dealer. Very honest and will tell you the truth instead of just saying YES in the name of profit. Competitive pricing and outstanding speed. I've waited every time on location as repairs been done.
