Auto Repair in Laguna Hills, CA

“Been going to Corner3 for nearly 10 years - you can’t find a more honest, transparent and caring team than Nima and his crew. Always providing guidance and solid advice. From my son’s Subaru (general service) to my 220k Runner (All in Care) - Total Trust in Corner3 Garage!”

“Gary and his group over at 949 have been nothing but attentive in getting all of the information together for my automotive repair project. Once I established what I needed, he was able to get the most competitive price available at the moment. In addition, it was nothing but good communication. He was able to set realistic expectations for the length of time the service would take and at that point I'm scheduled for Friday.Thanks, Gary!Post Service Review (Updated 10/27/2023)I think a lot of us like to keep things simple in life.Gary and his group saved me from the "Dealer Trap" ("Oh, I got this car... The best thing I can do is take it to the dealer and they'll take care of me...")Take your car to 949 Auto Repair instead! Solid work at very reasonable prices.Solid ethically as well and clear communication all the way to their Master Technician (Mike).Great job guys!”

“Been here twice so far. First time my Subaru just had a dead battery so it didn't have enough data in the ECU and it failed smog. They let me know and didn't charge me. Second time I took my sister's car and no wait was done in 10 minutes. Friendly staff and clean waiting room. Price is comparable to other smog centers in the area.”

“My 2004 Prius developed an annoying problem of Not turning off when I needed it to! From the first time that I met with Ken, it was clear that when it comes to knowing in detail, each generation of Prius, he is an expert in this field!Because Ken does the ordering of parts and the repairs himself, he was very accurate as far as what the cost would be, and in estimating how long the work would take.I feel confident with the work that he did, and will definitely go to Ken’s Prius Repair Shop in the future.”

“Ramon is amazing and very honest. He'll tell you exactly what you need without up selling you on anything. Trust his word and your car will remain in great condition!”

“What a wonderful company. Travis is very honest, kind person. They charged me a fair price and gave me suggestions on when to come back for service and was very professional. I highly recommend them!”

“My family has been trusting our vehicles to Gary for years and years. Now that three of my sons are grown (and they now pay for repairs themselves), they still take their cars to Gary because they know they can trust him. A year or so ago I referred two of my friends who have Jeeps like mine, and they can't say enough about how well they are treated. So far Gary has worked on our Mercedes, Expedition, Infinity, Jetta and Jeeps. Fair and honest!”

“I'm a working professional who lives in San Diego, and frequently travels to the Laguna Hills area for work. Recently, I had an issue with my brakes on a Thursday for which I didn't feel safe driving back to San Diego. I was drawn to Southland Auto Care from all of the positive reviews. I called early on Friday morning before working hours, and Fred answered. I explained my situation to him, and he offered to meet me before working hours and give me a ride to work. He was able to find an affordable solution and fix my brakes the same day, which allowed me to get home to my family for the weekend. The service went above and beyond. I highly recommend Southland Auto Care, and if I lived in the Laguna Hills area, I would not take my vehicles anywhere else.”

“We’ve been going to Christian for more than 10 years, when he was in a very small shop. He has always been honest and extremely reasonable with us. He’s moved to a larger shop (good for him) and we continue to trust his honesty, integrity and expertise.”

“If you want the best Porsche work done, from maintenance to complete engine over hauls, then you want to go to Vision Motorsports.I went to Vision and was greeted by Lori, the front office manager. She introduced me to Dwain Dement the owner. I enquired about a complete engine rebuild, and Dwain was so kind and proud of his shop and employees that he took me on a tour of his shop and completely explained all my options. What a shop. Complete crate motors are ready to be shipped worldwide. They are Porsche certified engine builders. They do all their rebuilds in-house. I was sold immediately.When I decided to move forward, Steve, the shop manager, was their to help me. He gave me all written upfront pricing and stuck to it. I can't say enough good words about Steve. He's upfront, honest, and really cares about his customers and his shop. He answered ALL of my questions during the engine build and even invited me to see important stages of the build, as they were proceeding. Nick, the lead mechanic, was awesome, too. He took time to answer all my questions, too. He totally cares about his customers, as well. The total experience was AWESOME, beyond my expectations. I'm a motor head, and ALL of the staff is too. I want to personally thank everyone at Vision Motorsports for making my car experience one that I'll never forget.By the way, I got their 3.8 liter big bore track package motor and put that in my 6 speed, cable throttle body 1999 996 Carrera , and it is "FAST" and has lots of "Torque". It puts a "BIG SMILE" on my face every time I drive it. Thanks again, everyone.”

“I’ve taken my 75 Jimmy to Laguna Woods Auto Repair for about 5 years now. From the start, Bob has been my go to guy. His genuine care, and attention to detail is what keeps me going back every time. Walking in the entrance, you are taken back to a 60’s diner themed shop; complete with booth seats and tables, a juke box, and tons of old school memorabilia, that makes the wait, and pinch on your wallet a lot less painful. I’ve had the privilege of being taken inside their shop, immediately greeted by a wide range of beautiful classics, newer domestics, and imports, further affirming my decision to leave my Jimmy in Bob’s hands. Here’s the thing, Bob is of the old school mentality of service, trapped in this new generation of liars and cheats. Like a specialist doctor you would pay top dollar for to ensure the treatment you receive has a positive outcome, Bob and his team will give you that positive outcome for anything with wheels. Thank you Bob and team for taking care of me and my Jimmy.”

“Recently I was at Willow Springs Raceway for an event. Being that I drove there, and my car has no room for a spare tire, it was a somewhat risky move. Wouldn't you know it, I experienced a flat tire, and the tire store on site said the tire was not repairable. So I called various tire stores around Lancaster, CA, all were too busy to even pick up my call. Now I am 300 miles from home, and no place to buy a tire. My garage mate, had recently attended DK Racing School, run out of Dwain Dement's Vision Motorsports shop at the Willow Spring track...he told me that Dwain had a good supply of new and used tires. Off to the shop I go, and was I impressed. Not only did he have the exact tire size I wanted, but he dismounted the failed dire and mounted and balanced the replacement tire. I opted for used and Dwain gave me a great price on it, and in the process saved my weekend. As a side note, the tire mounting and balancing equipment is state of the art. ALSO NOTE, Vision Motorsports Ranch is a Porsche Repair shop, and they build custom race cars too, one of the most reputable in all of SoCal. It gets better, as you may have gathered, there are now 2 shops to chose from, the one in Laguna Niguel that has been there for over 20 + years, and the latest fully equipped shop at he Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, CA. Anything Porsche related can be addressed at both shops.”

“Bryce saved me over $2000!! I had a dead FRM from a Mini Cooper, and my mechanic wanted to charge over $2000 in parts and labor. After some research, I found the FRM failing was common and came across Bimmerscan. Although the website was dated and made me a bit unsure, I could tell he knew his stuff, so I called and spoke with Bryce. He said he could fix the FRM, and a replacement wasn't even needed. I ended up driving 1.5 hours where I was met with kindness and a warm welcome from the staff sharing the address. Bryce carried that atmosphere throughout my short stay. It only took 20 min. for Bryce to fix the problem. He brought me back for a detailed explanation with energy and passion for his craft. On top of all this, he's just a great guy who loves what he does. I sadly had to leave and drive another 1.5 hours back, but the experience with Bryce and the staff sharing the address (shout out to Bob and his Coke decor!) made it worth the trek. The cherry on top was the part worked and comes with a lifetime guarantee!”

“I drove my 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman All 4 from New York City to Orange County to visit my family and friends. Two weeks into my stay my poor Francesca (yes that's her name) started misfiring and I was devastated as to why she was misfiring and driving poorly. Francesca is 11 years old with 55,666 miles (which included the mileage driving across country 4 times as a New Yorker I obviously don't need to drive her much). My brother who is a mechanic ran some diagnostic test which showed that the spark plugs needed to be changed. After changing the spark plugs and further inspection he noticed that cylinder 1 kept misfiring and recommended we take Francesca to British Worx OC as they had great reviews on fixing Mini Coopers. When I called and explained the problem Ken was extremely patient, knowledgeable and understood the time constraint I was under as I had to drive back to New York City within a few days. Upon arriving at the shop Ken was personable, friendly and professional. Ken understood my concerns and listened patiently as my brother provided the diagnostics he found. The conversation between them two went well above my head however I noticed that Ken asked well thought-out questions regarding Francesca and what previous work was done. I was impressed and so was my brother. He asked a bunch of questions about Francesca like a doctor and that's when I knew British Worx OC is like a BMW/Mini Cooper hospital. Ken also gave a realistic timeline about how long it would take (which I really really appreciated. Mechanics in New York City typically give me some ambiguous timeline which is annoying especially since I have a busy schedule). Ken provided suggestions of what could cause the problem and asked that she stay overnight so they could examine Francesca in depth. I felt extremely comfortable and I had a strong impression that British Worx OC knew what they were doing. Next day Ken called me with what the problem was...Francesca needed replacement of ignition coils on cylinder 1 however because I was driving back home to NYC and the other 3 coils were very worn and old, I decided to take Ken's recommendation and have all 4 coils replaced. I also appreciated that I was told that my water pump pulley outer rubber surface was cracked and coming apart and that the drive belt needed to be replaced at some point. Well, since I knew I had 2,788 miles ahead of me to drive I didn't want to take any chances of breaking down on the interstate and decided to have these replaced as well. There were NO SURPRISES to what my cost would be. The invoice had suggestions of what could be fixed so I could see what I can do within my budget. British Worx OC gave me frequent updates and as a courtesy fixed my passenger side reflector that fell off during a rainstorm I encountered in Nebraska on my way to California. A repair that was unexpected however very much appreciated. Overall, when I went to pick up Francesca I was truly blown away by my experience and how well she was driving. My girl was fixed running so smoothly and ready to make the long drive back to New York City. The transparency, the professionalism, the work is on a different level of superiority; I've never experienced this level of quality anywhere else before in California or New York. Thank you, guys for giving me a peace of mind and ensuring my Francesca was fixed and fit for the drive across country. Wishing you all much continued success.”

“I just picked up my 2002 RX300. It needed some TLC and an Inner Tie Rod replaced. Geza, Christina (Owners), and Brian the mechanic went above and beyond helping me get her back on the road. Always a great caring, honest, and transparent place to take your car for any work. Brian is probably the most honest, truthful and conscientious mechanic you will find in 1000 miles from this location, he is truly old school and cares about his customers and his work. If you want it done right and don't want all the Shenanigan's Take it here, these people are "Real" and care about what they do, trust me you will never go anywhere else when you get your car back.Thank you Simons Auto Body.”

“Antonio has been our mechanic of 5 cars in the family and he and his staff are incredibly fair and generous. Antonio of able to diagnose and repair our vehicles better than any other mechanic in Orange County that I have been to. He’s very honest and if he can’t do the job, he defers it out but it’s very rare. Thank you for your service”

“I first came here a couple years ago when the Nissan place wanted $5400 to fix my transmission. These guys only wanted half that! I wish I would have switched sooner and saved a lot of money. Also today my car was making a loud rattling noise. They diagnosed and fixed it right away (adjusted the heat shield under the car). They didn't charge me anything!If they don't answer and you leave a voice message, sometimes they don't get it so just call again after a few minutes if it's during their business hours.”

“Yesterday I had a tire blow out on the freeway and the gentleman came to me and saved my day I had my toddler with me he was quick and reasonable price would recommend to anyone who needs tires to go to them so friendly too thank you again for saving my day”

“I had been using this shop for over 15 years possible more, Bernie it's a very professional auto mechanic who will be very honest with estimates and repairs. my cars reach over 160.000 miles with no mayor repair thanks to Laguna Hills Auto repair. I do recommend 100%.”

“Pacific German is one of the best places for your European cars to be. The quality that this shop has matches no other out there. My stock A4 Audi starter here and it transformed into a beast stage 3 Audi . These guys know what there doing plus they have great time management and keeping you informed every step of the way. You're gonna love it here .”
