The BEST mechanic I’ve ever been to. Tom is an absolute gem and always goes above and beyond when servicing your car. He is an honest and genuinely good person who takes pride in what he does. They also have the best prices to go along with the amazing service. I happened to stumble upon this place when my car broke down heading to San Diego, and now I drive from north OC to get my car serviced here because it’s the only place I trust with my car.

A very rare shop. The owner, Tom and his crew are exceptionally honest. I took my car to him after the Mercedes Laguna Niguel gave me price in thousands to repair something on my old Mercedes. Tom and his crew fixed it for hundreds. He's the guy to go to

Edit: yes it was indeed this shop - 2020/2021. I learned that harold (before he moved) does not give good advice on local mechanics. Avoid these guys like the plague. I forgot they also told me my cash was fake and to get different bills so there i went on another side quest, just for the bank to confirm my bills. "we were messing with you" they said. gross experience everytime i think back. Just a bunch of old guys who think theyre special.I was suggested these fellas for having a press to do my ball joints. I brought in the spindles, left them the parts. When i returned, these fellas lost the two out of four grease packets, and told me they used regular grease and did me the favor of installing the boots (incorrectly and clearly didnt read any of the instructions). So i asked them, when they worked for toyota? "ive been doing this for xx years.." Well then when they figure out how to make vehicles & parts that last as long as toyota does, they can decide what the right way to do it is, for now follow instruction. Left and had to re-do the favor they did me. Honestly was far to nice for the talking down these old smartasses deserve.

I asked a local tire shop owner Robbie of Robbies Tires for a good honest Auto Repair Shop that will not screw me over on overpricing for a new "engine starter". I trust Robbie because he is a honest businessman and is loyal to his customers, which is why we go back and trust him. He referred me to San Clemente Auto Service on El Camino Real. Tom the owner and his wonderful technician team Craig etc fixed my car same day, made sure I had ride home and back while it was fixed. And he charged me so honestly that I will recommend without hesitation on any Auto Repairs to Family and Friends! If I went somewhere else, I for sure would have been overcharged! This is my now go to Auto Repair Shop! I am now a loyal customer. Thanks Robbie of Robbies tires for referring me to Tom, Owner of San Clemente Auto Service in San Clemente! You both for sure are 2 businesses I will always refer others too! SUPPORT LOCAL!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

Went to get my AC checked and had incredible service. I called ahead and based on his expertise of what is was gave a timeframe to get it looked. When I arrived they quickly fixed the issue and were great at communicating. Definitely will be doing all my car service here and recommend to all my friends and family.

The owner Tom is the nicest repair guy I ever met. My camper truck blew its transmission and was towed there after hours Saturday night. Tom came in on Sunday, realized they did not have lift big enough for us and spent considerable time helping us figure out what to do, tow, etc. he went way beyond the call of duty. Thanks very much Tom!

My passenger tire blew up on the 5 and this was the closest location for me to get a tow. What a day! I wasn't sure what to expect, but Thom and his crew took care of me and had me patched up and on my way again in no time! Awesome.

My truck has 16 spark plugs that were due to change,and I was dreading the cost of replacement. The total cost from Tom was half of anyone else. My truck was spotless when I got it back AND the mileage has increased by 20%. Super happy with the service I got here.Service: Engine repair

My car stalled on the freeway and I was towed to a gas station across from this place. I thought all I needed was a jump but it turned out I needed a new battery entirely. Craig helped me out by replacing the old battery and sending me on my way. I will recommend this place.

First class experience. Tom will tell you what is the problem and not sale you on something your car doesn't need.
