I'm hesitant to write this review because I feel I will let the secret out!! C&D is by far the best place in OC to have your car serviced! Dan is the man! I've been taking all my vehicles to him for over 14 years. Rarely you can use the word mechanic and honest in the same sentence. I tell all my friends and work associates that he's my "family's mechanic ". I can't stress the help, honesty, and especially the savings that he has provided me over the years. I've had situations where other mechanics or repair shops told me that I needed work done or parts replaced and when I've taken the situation to Dan, many times work is not even needed and if so the price is always significantly cheaper than any other repair shops. Also he will let me know that some services can be delayed or simply just not needed. When most mechanics will take advantage of the situation and do work that's not needed. Over the last 14 years he has saved my family so much money. I always know that I will never be over charged or be taken advantage of. It's a rare to find an honest/affordable mechanic.Im always very confident when I refer friends, family, and business associates to him because I know the service he provides is honest and will be affordable. As a business owner myself I can appreciate the work and pride Dan puts into every repair and most importantly the honesty. Thank you Dan for everything you have done for me and my family over the years! Jeff D.

Needed brake done, usually I take it to PepBoys. But I got tire of the squealing. For some reasons, of the four cars, three squeal when with PepBoys. The last three times I had my brake done, I also had to replace the rotor, because I got used to ignoring the squealing.I was taking the carto next door honestly; but the shop owner didn't show up at 8:20, that shop was supposed to open at 8:00.I went next door and spoke to mechanic, Dan. He seems forthright and knowledgable. I told him I want Akebono. He said he has to check. It turns out Akebono does make brake for my car.For what it is worth, I hate shop that promise (we will replace your brake for free, but you cover labor and other). PepBoys does that and some other shop. The truth is that, they put on cheap brakes (maybe $30-40?), but the labor and the damage rotor (ever time I change brake, it seems I have to replace rotor); so the $40 is *not* worth it. When I hear this, OK, I'm dealing with a sale person, not a mechanic.Anyway, I am happy with the results.The brakes no longer squeal! The old excuses, your car is too heavy and old. You need alignment and replace the strut, etc. Just seem it need quality part and someone who know how to fix car.I think the price is fair. It is not expensive, but it is not cheap. I'm actually a bit leery of places that are cheap.I do wish he can make appointment to complete it in an hour or so, especially for brakes. It is a bit of a pain to drop off, go wait somewhere, and then come back.

Very good serviceThey guarantee your jobAnd above all, they don't beat around the bush, they tell you what it is, whether you want to repair it or not, it's your decision. What the owner cares about is that the client is happy with the good service he provides and that you will be a client for many years. Thanks C&D

I just took my husband's 2009 Honda Accord to be checked out. I made an appointment. Dropped off at 830a and received a call around noon to tell me what he believed the problem was. I was given options and I felt he was genuine and was not trying to scam me. I was comfortable and made the decision to change out all 6 sparklets. I was charged $265 for the spark plugs and labor. I felt it was fair and will be bad again when I need a mechanic.

Honest. Fair. Great mechanic. I've tried many other automotive shops in OC but nothing compares to C And D Automotive. A friend recommended me there and it was worth it! Give Dan the Mechanic a try and you'll be 100% satisfied with his work and pricing.
