“Seldom is the best! My wife and I are in our 8th decade and we used to have to take a cab or the bus for late pick up. Seldon finishes the work fast so we can take a walk to the thrift store and back and we are done. He always calls to consult on the work and promptly when finished. We are luckey we found him.”

“I and my family have gone to Robert DiMauro for decades to care for our cars. He is not only an expert in Hondas and Acuras, he is very honest and always tries to get quality while figuring out if it's possible to save some money. Besides keeping our cars in tip top shape, he also finds cars that he has been servicing all or most of their lives when we need a new. car. It's amazing how much care he takes of his customers. He has become a true, respected friend. Thank you Robert!”

“They fit me in the next day after I called… The repair took only 30 minutes… They were professional and courteous. I do suggest bringing your own folding chair to sit in outside as the location is Spartan and industrial. This is of course why they offered the best price by at least $100 of anyone else I called. The industrial environment was a small price to pay for the tremendous service and value.”

“I live in Santa Barbara since 2017, the only thing I'm sad is that I didn't find this shop before, just today, in 2026. Honest, fair price, great customer service. You don't see that old school honesty and straigh-forwardness anymore. Check them out! They do more than just tires! They do anything break system related, suspension, and some engine stuff too! They replace my Break Booster on my Toyota Tundra, and it went flawless. From now on I will ask them first before going anywhere else. I own 4 cars.”

“My experience having work done on a 2013 Honda Fit at this auto shop was fantastic, in large part due to my interaction with the staff here. Most of the time I don't like interacting with auto repair shops at all, but here it was a completely different experience. The honesty and clarity I got during my service was top notch and prices were completely in line with nearby shops. I'll return here for future car servicing for sure.”

“Went to Garcia Auto Repair today for a smog check. Our first time there but we had made an appointment for 9am. The whole process took less than 20 minutes and they were kind enough to put air in our tires. We passed the smog check and paid the $65 which I think is fair. They are a family run small business so I feel good about patronizing them. I will be back soon for my oil and filter change.”

“Hine’s really helped us out in a pinch after having a cylinder misfire on the 101 on a Sunday at the beginning of our 2 hour drive home.

With Mr. Hine’s help and after an honest diagnostic, thorough explanation, and fast and affordable repair we were back on the road in roughly 30 minutes.”

“We were in town for UCSB parents weekend when my water pump went out. We made it to the hotel and I started searching for a mobile mechanic. I exchanged texts with Kris on Saturday night. Sunday morning he came by the hotel, diagnosed the problem, located parts, and drove the car back to his shop which luckily was only a few miles away. He brought the car back to me and by 3PM I was on the road headed home. Kris came to the rescue and saved me the hassle of having to stay another night and find an open shop on Monday. The cost of repair was very reasonable.”
