What clients say about Preferred Auto Centre in Thousand Oaks (CA)
Customer service is wonderful. Technology they use to keep customer informed is outstanding. Real time photos of issues and recommended fixes, without pressure to complete, gave me confidence in work being performed. Automatic service reminders are great! I also like the online portal to track history of service and outstanding issues to resolve so I know what’s going on. I’ll be back!
There are few business I’ve come across that are as honest, reliable, efficient, and transparent as Preferred Auto Centre. I especially love their digital system that lets you see pictures of everything and gives you the ability to authorize work to be done. Everyone I’ve interacted with from office managers to technicians has been fantastic. I’ll never go anywhere else!
Mark and his mechanics and his staff always make me feel welcome. They not only completed my regular service but they also helped me get a smog test and hooked me up with great rental car.
They are professional and knowledgeable. I had the battery replaced here last month. The people running the shop are very friendly and helpful. They are easy to book and charge reasonably.
Very pleasant and friendly. Hank is a hoot
The guys are professional and fantastic. They show and explain what they will be doing in updates and even video progress which highly impressed my son. I can't see myself going anywhere else!!!
They never cease to amaze me. It's such a friendly place to visit. I love how their texts keep you up to date. I know that it now steers much better than it ever has. Thank you so much.

A year later, still great service.
Loved the concierge service to pick up our car, get it serviced, and returned to us. We were impressed with having all the service details sent to us via email.
I have used this auto repair for years for 2 automobiles including my classic car. If the say to fix it, I know it needs to be fixed. The work is exemplary and the service outstanding
Outstanding customer service, everyone I had contact was excellent. Crista and Cherisse were great They both know you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. I have managed Customer Service operations and I know their jobs can be difficult.
I can always depend on honesty, friendly and professionalism with Mark and his crew. Preferred auto centre is my place to go with any vehicle problem i might experience.
My husband’s car runs great! Preferred Auto Centre cleaned the intake system on his Ford Escape, changed all fuel injectors and performed an oil change. They were nice to accommodate us in an emergency in 24 hours without an appointment. Everyone at Preferred Auto Centre is friendly and respectful. Customer Service is top notch and their service documentation is excellent!
Amazing service! The team was truly transparent and took the time to explain everything I needed to know about my car. I felt informed and well taken care of from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest and professional car care
My first time there. I found friendly folks and fair prices. They completed a complete inspection to decide what to do and help plan future repairs. I will be back.

The entire team is fabulous! Mark has a deep knowledge base regarding the automotive repair industry.
Brought my car in for an inspection and rattle under the hood. Very impressed with their team approach, professionalism, knowledge and confidence. Their communication around keeping me informed about the problem, (and finding the problem) was solid. They are trustworthy, up front, easy to talk to, and I left feeling that I finally found my mechanic 'family'. Highly recommend them!
This was my 1st time to Preffered Auto. I was very impressed with the company. Very nice people ,extremely professional and will give the customer a superb evaluation of their vehicle and in a very comprehensive format. I would recommend them for certain.
I took my highly modified lowered 2005 Ford escape hybrid to Preferred Auto Center they did an amazing job. They took great care of not scratching any of the paint. The repairs were done with professionalism and they even washed the car when it was done. Thank for respecting the build. Grateful Dad
