List 17 Auto Services , Car Repair near Goleta, CA (Part 2)

Samuel Ellsworth It is apparent the moment you step into Fernandos shop that his business practice is on a level seldom offered at such affordable rates. The shop is clean and well maintained. Operations are smooth. Customers are in and out and, most importantly, in a good mood. I think that says a lot. You can sense us customers are valued here from the comfortable seating arrangements to the manners and professionalism of the staff. I do recommend this place. I could almost look forward to needing automotive service when it can be entrusted to Fernando & co.

Joseph Donati Ive had my last 3 smog checks done here at Fernandos. Every time I was in and out quick without an appointment. Had alternator problems on a Monday and went straight to his shop. It was at the end of a busy Monday, but he still had time to check my car out and give me a quick, reasonable estimate. While I waited before closing for the estimate, I noticed he was even taking late smogs and answered all his phone calls, happy to help everyone get in and out like a pro. My alternator was replaced and ready early Tuesday morning. Im happy with his work and will continue to bring my car in for future work and maintenance. Thank you Fernando!

Kevin Gonzalez Big shout out to Mahneke Motors and Darby for all of the help with my recent U-haul rental. Darby went above and beyond to help accommodate my needs and make my experience as smooth as possible. Would highly recommend them for their services !

Cameron Porter Mahneke motors team are true pros and he and his team know their industry top to bottom! The great thing is he is always trying to keep the bottom line down. I appreciate the fact that he can source refurbished parts sometimes saving thousands. Mahneke motors recently took care of my mother in laws car and the part that was required was quoted to her for over $1,200 at the dealership. Darby was able to find it refurbished for $199. Its been close to two years and with the regular maintenance she has never had a problem since. I always refer my friends and family here because of their honesty, knowledge and integrity.

Darryl Osby Dirtiest shop Ive ever seen and the Dad was rude about my hairstyle. They had me drive an hr for interview and didnt care about my 30 years of skills and training. Junkyard

Cole Carmody National Auto Body is the best they know exactly what theyre doing and work with you to get the job done. Great work and great people.

Mihran Tascioglu Didn’t stop by but called asking if anyone could service my vehicle around Christmas. He said he doesn’t do that sort of work but he recommended a friend that does. Not sure if I was speaking with the Ruiz himself but the gentleman I was on the phone with was very polite.

John Schulte Mike is the best mechanic Ive ever used, his diagnostic ability and skill are top tier, very friendly and always takes the time to discuss the issues the and approaches to the repair of those issues. We tend to run the wheels off our cars, he always keeps them well running.

John Robinson I appreciate this business very much! They helped come up with a great plan to fix my car and executed the plan wonderfully. The owner is very kind and I loved meeting the shop dog. Thank you!!

Stephen Muraoka Great, fast service. Will take my car here everytime.

ignacio S I’ve been coming here for 2 years now and it’s always great service. Prices are affordable and they are all very knowledgeable. The courtesy inspection is very thorough and explains what can wait and what needs immediate attention. For any services they don’t do, they have great recommendations that have always worked out super well.

Glenn Gillen Had my Toyota Sienna 2006 AWD serviced here that needed a radiator and timing belt replacement. A&E took me in on short-notice where other mechanics turned me away. The job ended up taking longer than expected but A&E was willing to pay for my car rental to make-up for the delay. Despite being a new customer from outside Santa Barbara County, Edgar paid special attention to my repair needs and didnt rush the process or leave the job half-done despite the hiccups that came with my older vehicle. They also made sure to take before & after photos of every step for transparency and I was very impressed by the report I was given when I picked up my vehicle, breaking down the repairs that were done and recommendations for future repairs. The pricing rates were fair. It has been about 2-weeks, and the car drives better than ever. Only note for improvement I would make is to improve the daily communication. A&E does tell you the approximate date when the vehicle will be finished, but keeps you in the dark during the in-between dates. Im just being nit-picky here, but wouldve been nice to have 1-daily update of the repair process (i.e. parts ordered, vehicle in the service line, delays, etc.) via text or voicemail. However, at the end of the day, you want a mechanic that does the job right for the right price, and A&E does this well. Will be coming for future repairs.

i rose Charged more than the initial estimate; the assistant was rude and cared lees about my situation. The owner was also greedy and didn’t want to take any responsibility for the extra cost - he should have done a better job in issuing the initial estimate. I got a quote from four body shops and chose to go here because the quote was lower. I would not recommend taking your car here for a large repair (paid almost $4000!)

Melissa Musgrove McLeans did a great job repairing a dent in my door and a deep scratch on the bumper. The car was washed and clean inside and out when I picked it up. I recommend them!

Alfredo Gutierrez Ryan is a PRO. Asides from knowing his products, he managed to keep great communication with me about the work being done on my vehicle. It feels good to have someone who’s trusty , reliable, knowledgeable AND fair on pricing. Couldn’t ask for better service, happy to know my little ND has a second home with Ryan!

Lisa Storrie-Lombardi Am so glad we found this place. We needed a new soft top for our S2000. Ryan provided all kind of advice and then did a great job with what turned out to be a much more complicated install that expected. Really great communication and a very fair price. One of the things we really missed when we moved here was our Honda guy. Could not be happier that we have found a new home for getting work done on our baby and someone we can trust if we need referrals for things they dont do. Will definitely be back for the maintenance they can do.

Matt Levash Great place!!! Called and was in right away. Super friendly mechanic. Great, clean work.

Tripp RV was misfiring en route to SB. Thankfully, Ruwad at Kamila’s garage was there to save the day. When the job took longer than expected, he loaned me a car to drive back to SF. He worked (by himself) day and night to get the job done right. His commitment to the job and to his customers is impressive. Good to have Small/local businesses like this! Thank you Kamila’s Garage!

douglas bush Ive been working with ATG for around 10 years to manage the maintenance of my small business "fleet" of several vehicles and recommend them without hesitation. Honest, efficient, organized, great mechanics, and really nice people. Regular service, serious repairs, and everything in between.

Tim Bushra Best repair shop in town! Good people, fair prices, and they even gave me a donut when I went in to get my smog check today. Cant recommend them enough!

Meagan Peterson David at West Coast got my car in and out super fast. He was honest and fair in his pricing. I really appreciate his help in getting me car fixed and drivable again!

Aaron Ive been taking my two cars here for a few years now. This place has always given me fast, high quality service, for great price.

goro nakano I have been using Hiens Auto Repair for 30 years, and he fixed all kind of auto problem for our family. I am happy customer.

Ashvini Varatharaj This shop is a savior!! The owner stayed back 20 minutes after to fix our mud gaurd which dropped while removing the car from parking lot. He explained what he was doing and charged a very nominal price! Highly recommended!!

Pancho Villa Never got a response

VICKIE QUINN Honest! Great repair

Daniel Lee Emilio was fantastic and very responsive! The fact is that a mobile repair service is not only very convenient but super helpful in this case as the fender of the trailer collided with the rear bumper of the RV. He fixed both for a reasonable rate and in quick fashion too. Would highly recommend his service!

danablakeness Emilio was great to work with when we were in an RV bind with our fifth wheel. He was available by phone, arrived promptly, asked a few questions, and got right to work on a diagnosis for our disfunctional landing gear. He figured out the problem and helped us get hooked up and on our way. He is a friendly and knowledgeable young man! We strongly recommend Emilio for Mobile RV issues!!!

Norene Scott Eric did an excellent job for the 60,000 mile update. He told me in advance, in writing, what he would do and what it would cost. After he finished he told me exactly what had been done and the results of the exam, again in writing. Im impressed! Plus, hes a very nice guy.

Lizzie Rodriguez I cant recommend Eric Krebs Automotive highly enough! Finding a trustworthy mechanic these days can feel impossible, but from the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. They were upfront about what my car needed, explained everything clearly, and never once tried to upsell me on unnecessary repairs. The work was done quickly, professionally, and at a fair price. I really appreciated their honesty, professionalism, and friendly service. If youre looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and dependable auto mechanic, this is the place to go!

Sean Malis The Team at Classic Collision and customer relations representative/estimator, Mr. Jaime Alvarez, performed and delivered outstanding service! My wifes Audi looks better than new! I am beyond impressed!! Well done from, initial inspection, to managing shop time and parts issues, quality control, final inspection and timely communications. I appreciate the attention to details, the color blending and even the repairs to the rear wheel. In the unfortunate situation where our family needs auto collision repairs, you have a loyal repeat customer! You have a well honed team, thank you Classic Collision!

Carey Larson My Toyota Tacoma was brought to the team at Classic Collision due to a paint recall from Toyota. The entire experience was well communicated, smooth, professional and A+ service. Matt was extremely helpful and understanding, giving me updates and explaining the process. Highly recommend these guys and the level of service they provided. Thank you all again for taking such good care of my Tacoma!

Jason ONeill This place is GREAT! I called ahead to see how long the wait would be for a Smog and was alerted to the best time to come in. Waited less than 15 minutes for the entire process. Was so quick and easy, I brought my wifes car back a week later and had the exact same experience! This is the best place in Santa Barbara for a Smog check.

Bailey Macdonald Casey’s is the friendliest and fastest garage I’ve been to. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes, just as Casey had said. Jack, the mechanic that worked on my car is an absolute legend, his experience and knowledge made my day!! I 100% recommend Casey’s!
